I'm looking for professional handymen and contractors to share their favorite weird hacks, tricks, and fixes for making a house look more expensive. The more unexpected the advice, the better. This shoppable article will feature your advice alongside helpful home improvement products selected by our team. We are only featuring original commentary and will not accept AI-generated responses. Below are some questions I'm hoping to have answered, but feel free to answer any of them or provide your own expertise: What type of existing damage around the home makes a home look the cheapest? What unexpected products would you use to fix those issues? Do you have any products you'd recommend to your customers for preventing damage that hasn't occurred yet? This could include simple issues like a doorknob hitting the wall behind it or more serious issues like water stains on the ceiling. Do you have any products or tricks you'd recommend for fixing chipped furniture or chipped wall paint? What type of lighting makes a home look more expensive? Any examples you'd recommend? If someone has yellowing grout, do you have any products you could recommend to clean it or replace it? Which unexpected upgrades make a home look more expensive? This could be as simple as installing furniture pads to protect floors or more complicated projects like putting down baseboard trim. What was a high-impact upgrade you made in the last space you worked on? Is there a design or layout mistake you think makes a home look cheap? What products would you use to fix it? Do you have any tips for new homeowners looking to make fast progress in updating or upgrading their home? Which room do you think benefits most from updating? What's the first upgrade you'd make in that room? Do you have any weird home-repair gadgets that you think are useful to homeowners?
