Before hosting family and friends for the holidays, many homeowners want to spruce up and refresh some spaces in their homes. The good news? There’s still time to complete a few home improvement projects that will make your home warm, comfortable, and ready for entertaining! At Gerard Construction, we specialize in helping homeowners complete projects of all sizes.
Here are 5 remodeling projects you can start today and finish in time for the holidays.
1. Give Your Kitchen a Makeover
The kitchen is often the heart of the home, especially during the holidays. Because this space is where cooking, entertaining, and gathering happen, it’s one of the top areas to consider updating before the season. A mini makeover can make a huge difference in how you use your kitchen. These projects won’t take very long and will make a big impact in your kitchen:
- Install or replace backsplash – A new backsplash can significantly update the appearance of your kitchen, adding style and personality.
- Replace countertops – Replacing counters is a high-impact, cost-effective way to revitalize your kitchen without a full remodel.
- Update cabinet paint – Painting cabinets, instead of replacing them, is a quick way to update and refresh the style of your kitchen at a fraction of the cost.
At Gerard Construction, a designer can help you choose the perfect backsplash tile, countertop material, or cabinet color so your kitchen is both beautiful and functional for the holidays.

2. Make Simple Bathroom Updates
Hosting guests is the main reason for pre-holiday bathroom remodels. An updated bathroom ensures functionality and a safe, comfortable experience for holiday visitors. Small updates go a long way, so consider upgrading the lighting, an updated shower head, or new faucets to transform the space. Now is also a good time to ensure the bathrooms are safe for elderly family members and guests.
3. Enhance Guest Rooms
If you’ll be hosting overnight guests, sprucing up guest bedrooms is always appreciated. Here are some simple ways to transform a guest room in no time at all:
- Fresh paint – Brighten the space with a fresh coat of paint.
- Storage space – Clear out closets, provide plenty of hangers, and add additional storage if needed.
- Fresh linens and bedding – Ensure your beds have fresh, soft linens and offer a variety of pillows for personal preferences.
- Luggage rack – A folding luggage rack or bench is a great way to keep suitcases off the floor.
- Charging stations – Ensure there are easily accessible power outlets or a universal charger for guests’ devices.

4. Refresh the Entryway
The entryway is the first impression guests have of your home. You can instantly boost curb appeal with a freshly painted front door, updated hardware and lighting, and seasonal greenery. Small changes inside, like a bench, table, or decorative hooks, create a warm and welcoming space.
5. Upgrade Light Fixtures
Lighting helps create ambience for holiday gatherings. Give your living room or dining room new life by swapping out a dated fixture for a modern pendant or chandelier. Adding dimmer switches is an easy way to set the mood for a cozy night with family and friends.
