Transform Your Home Without the Major Overhaul

Let's be honest—not everyone has the time or budget for a full home renovation. The good news? You don't have to. At RGV Contracting, we help Maineville-area homeowners transform their spaces with small, focused remodels that make a dramatic impact.

Whether you want to update a single room, increase your home's value, or simplify daily life, here are our favorite small projects that deliver big results.


1. Update Your Kitchen Backsplash

Fast. Affordable. Stunning.

Installing a fresh backsplash—whether subway tile, herringbone patterns, or bold colors—instantly modernizes your kitchen. This quick project transforms the space without touching cabinets or appliances.

RGV Tip: Pair it with under-cabinet lighting for extra impact!


2. Upgrade Your Bathroom Fixtures

Small Details = Major Style

New faucets, showerheads, lighting, and cabinet hardware transform your bathroom's look and feel. It's an affordable way to add luxury without a complete remodel.

Need more sparkle? Add a statement mirror or swap out that tired vanity!


3. Add a Custom Built-In

Function Meets Style

From mudroom cubbies to living room bookshelves, built-ins combine storage with sophistication. They're perfect for organizing busy households while displaying your favorite décor.

Pro Bonus: Built-ins are a huge plus for potential buyers, too.


4. Replace Interior Doors

Modernize Your Home in a Weekend

Ready to upgrade those old, hollow-core doors? Solid-core, paneled, or farmhouse-style doors enhance your home's aesthetic while reducing noise between rooms.

Quick Win: Add modern black hardware for an instant upgrade.


5. Fresh Paint, Fresh Perspective

The Power of Color

Never underestimate a fresh coat of paint. Whether bold or neutral, updated colors brighten, refresh, and visually expand your space.

Don't forget: Fresh trim and ceiling paint make everything look crisp.


6. Upgrade Lighting Throughout the Home

Illuminate the Possibilities

Modern lighting fixtures instantly update your home's look. Consider pendant lights in the kitchen, elegant sconces in the hallway, and recessed lighting in living areas.

LED bulbs save energy while brightening your space!


7. Refresh Flooring in Key Areas

It Doesn't Have to Be Whole-House

Target high-traffic areas like the entryway, kitchen, or living room. Durable luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile, or new carpet can revitalize worn spaces without a complete floor overhaul.

RGV can help you choose materials that fit your budget and style.
