Winter Home Improvement Projects: Kitchen Updates

Baby, it’s cold outside! So, it’s time to bring the fun indoors with some winter home improvement projects. Whether you’re contemplating a new kitchen floor, replacing kitchen cabinets, or braving a full gut job, The Home Depot Rental is your one-stop shop for everything you’ll need to get the job done.

Installing a New Kitchen Floor

Installing a new kitchen floor is a great way to modernize the look and feel of your entire home. And if you’re on a DIY budget looking for professional results, we have floor installation tools that you can rent by the day or week. Tools such as our flooring cutter and tile saw ensure your desired flooring fits perfectly from wall to wall and make great additions to some of our other flooring restoration solutions.

However, if you’re removing old flooring before installing a new kitchen floor, there are a few crucial things to consider.

• Are you replacing the entire floor and subfloor?
• Only looking to remove a top layer?
• Peeling back multiple layers of linoleum?
• Replacing individual chipped or cracked tile?
• Hoping to find hardwood underneath?

When soft floor coverings such as vinyl or carpet aren’t pulling up as easy as you’d like them to, you’ll want to rent one of our floor strippers. We offer a variety of models, depending on the size of the area and what material you’re removing, such as our PRO Floor Stripper. Regardless of room size, you’ll want to take your time to ensure you don’t accidentally cause damage to the flooring underneath (if you’re hoping to save it).

Discovering hardwood floors can be a beautiful surprise after stripping the top layer of old flooring, but you should consider renting a floor sander to further remove any stubborn adhesives or surface marks before attempting to refinish. For those tough-to-sand spots around baseboards and mouldings or inside small spaces such as pantries, a floor edger can make the job much easier. Or, if you need something with a bit more kick to take on those long-awaited kitchen updates, then check out our heavy-duty drum floor sanders.

Replacing Kitchen Cabinets

When it comes to kitchen updates, replacing kitchen cabinets is at the top of the list for many homeowners. Whether you’re in it for the cathartic demolition or just can’t stand your cabinets, we’ve got everything you need to take on the project. From drills and saw rentals to respirator masks and safety goggles, find solutions for both demo and installation all in one place.

If your cabinets aren’t terrible but could really use an update, then you’re in it to refinish. Our handheld sanders allow you to strip the current materials to create a smooth surface for new stains or paint. Don’t forget to check out a few modern and classic hardware options to seal the deal.

If you’re installing new cabinets yourself, our 450 lb. material lift can help save time and manpower. This rental can hold cabinets in place during installation and reach up to 12 feet. Tackling a kitchen cabinet install? Check out this quick how-to guide.

Replace Kitchen Fixtures

The finishing touch to every homeowner’s kitchen remodel are the small details that make a big statement. Replacing kitchen fixtures isn’t a heavy lift when it comes to kitchen updates, but they make a big impact. We can also get you set up with countertops, backsplashes and a tile saw rental that’s fit for every DIYer’s needs.
