1. Refresh Interior Spaces with New Trim and Moulding

Trim and moulding may seem like small details, but they can completely transform the look of a room. From classic crown moulding to modern baseboards and casings, these architectural accents add polish and personality to any interior.

Popular summer moulding upgrades include:

• Crown moulding to elevate your ceilings. 
• Base moulding for a clean, finished floor transition. 
• Casing trim around doors and windows for added depth and character. 
• Decorative trim for DIY wall paneling, chair rails, or wainscoting. 

Best of all, these are projects you can complete over a weekend with minimal tools and maximum payoff.

2. Upgrade Your Interior Doors

Swapping out older, outdated doors for something more stylish or functional is one of the easiest ways to modernize your home. Whether you’re replacing a single door or refreshing every room, Builders Surplus has a large variety of first-quality doors to choose from, including unique sizes and custom options.

Choose from:

• Classic paneled doors for timeless appeal. 
• Modern shaker styles for a clean, minimalist look. 
• Louvered or bifold doors for closets and laundry rooms. 
• Custom door options through our on-site Custom Door Shop are perfect for special sizes or modifications. 

Upgrading your doors is an innovative, practical project that instantly improves your home’s look and function.

3. Add Character with a Feature Wall Using Shiplap or Wood Paneling

If you’re looking for a bold but manageable project this summer, a wood feature wall can add texture, warmth, and visual interest to any room. Builders Surplus offers shiplap and wood panels that make this project as easy as it is impactful.

Ideas for shiplap or panel walls:

• Create a rustic or coastal-inspired living room accent. 
• Add warmth to a bedroom behind the headboard. 
• Transform a hallway or mudroom into a design statement. 

Pair your paneling with new base or crown moulding for a fully finished, high-end look—all using products available in-store.

4. Update Cabinets and Hardware in Kitchens and Baths

If a full kitchen or bath remodel isn’t in the cards, replacing or refreshing your cabinets is a smart middle-ground project that offers maximum impact. Builders Surplus carries high-quality cabinets in a range of styles and finishes to fit your home’s aesthetic.

Summer cabinet upgrades include:

• Installing new cabinets to replace old, worn-out styles. 
• Swapping outdated cabinet hardware for sleek new pulls and knobs. 
• Adding a new vanity or base cabinet to refresh a powder room or guest bath. 

Whether modernizing your kitchen or giving your bathroom a facelift, new cabinets are a summer update with lasting value.

5. Replace Worn Flooring with Durable Options

Summer is an excellent time to install new flooring, and at Builders Surplus, you’ll find a wide range of durable, beautiful options at substantial savings. Whether you’re replacing outdated floors or updating a newly finished basement, we’ve got what you need.

Our top summer flooring choices include:

• Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) for moisture resistance and modern wood looks. 
• Engineered hardwood for a timeless appearance with added durability. 
• Waterproof options for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. 

Best of all, many of these floors are designed for DIY installation, making it a project you can tackle on your own timeline.

6. Boost Curb Appeal with a New Exterior Door

Your front door is the first impression visitors get of your home, so why not make it count? Replacing an old, weather-worn exterior door is an affordable way to improve curb appeal, energy efficiency, and security all in one step.

We carry a wide range of exterior doors, including:

• Steel entry doors for strength and insulation. 
• Fiberglass doors that resist weathering and warping. 
• Decorative glass inserts to bring light into your entryway. 

Plus, our Custom Door Shop may be able to modify your choice of exterior doors to fit unique sizes or design preferences.

7. Create Functional Storage Solutions

Maximize your home’s organization this summer by adding practical, attractive storage. Builders Surplus offers shelving, cabinets, and hardware ideal for custom closets, laundry rooms, garages, and more.

Smart summer storage projects:

• Install utility cabinets in your garage or workshop. 
• Add closet organizers to make better use of space. 
• Create a DIY mudroom with hooks, shelves, and storage benches. 
• Upgrade pantry storage with cabinet systems and floating shelves. 

These small improvements add real-life functionality and can be completed over a weekend.
