Remodeling one's residence
Home improvement covers renovations, repairs, and upgrades made to a residence.
The term encompasses everything from major construction like adding a room to minor projects like replacing fixtures.
We spent the weekend on home improvement projects.
Home improvement stores sell building materials, tools, and supplies to contractors and do-it-yourselfers alike.
