Spring is the ideal time to start do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement projects. From cleaning out the basement to revamping the bathroom, there are plenty of projects you can tackle to breathe fresh life into your abode. However, you’ll have to remove the old before you can enjoy the new, which is where a junk removal service may come in handy. 

What DIY Projects Require Junk Removal?

1. Downsizing or Decluttering

Whether you’re an empty nester downsizing to a smaller home or need to declutter your existing space, you’ll likely have plenty of junk at the end of the day. Mainly if you’ve lived in a home for several years, you’re likely to have heavy furniture or appliances that need to be removed. These items may be tough to move out and haul to the dump on your own. Instead, leave the job to the professionals.

2. Remodeling & Renovating

Renovation and remodeling projects often require professional help, but there are some you can tackle on your own. Whether you’re removing walls for an open floor plan or redoing a bathroom, there’s bound to be plenty of junk and debris that need to be removed. Construction debris of this sort is typically cumbersome, and moving it yourself could be dangerous, not to mention time-consuming. Spare your energy, and leave the task to junk removal professionals.

3. Installing a Pool

What better way to make use of your backyard this summer than with an outdoor pool? A pool installation doesn't just upgrade your property’s entertainment possibilities, but it can also boost value and curb appeal. However, if you’re renovating or replacing an existing pool, it’s no easy task. These types of projects are likely to produce a significant amount of ceramic waste, as well as waterproofing layers, tile, and plumbing fixtures which must be disposed of. A junk removal service can take this off of your hands, enabling you to install and make use of your new pool faster.

4. Redoing the Driveway

Winter weather can take quite a toll on concrete driveways, and spring is the ideal time to replace them if necessary. However, similar to renovating or replacing a pool, redoing a driveway can produce quite a bit of bulky waste. Call a junk removal service to dispose of it, so you can lay down the new pavement quickly before summer heat sets in.
