Many people include home upgrade projects in their New Year’s resolution list of promises. Daich Coatings, the leader in DIY stone products, recommends five top projects for homeowners interested in making a major home improvement impact for a minimal investment in 2024.
“These five key projects have tremendous return-on-investment,” says Peter Daich, president of Daich Coatings. “Best of all, they have the power to beautifully transform space in the home while making people feel really good about their amateur DIY skills.”
For the two most popular rooms in the home — the kitchen and bath — Daich recommends resurfacing countertops with shimmering mineral accents. Rather than go the expensive route of granite countertops, Daich Coatings offers two different DIY kits that will result in either a textured or smooth finish to transform countertops.

Project #1 – LuxROCK™ Solid Surface Granite Countertop Kit – Available in sizes to cover either 20 square feet (for a bathroom) or 40 square feet (for a kitchen), this six-step project results in a smooth, glimmering granite surface. Stunning mineral highlights transform countertops and bring great satisfaction to DIYers. Available in five granite colors.
Project #2 – SpreadStone™ Mineral Select™ Countertop Refinishing Kit – Covering up to 40 square feet of countertop, this kit delivers a textured multi-colored decorative stone finish with shimmering mineral accents and color highlights found in natural mined rock. Use also on tabletops, bartops and other surfaces. Available in 10 decorative colors, this four-step project can be done by even the most novice DIYer.
A third countertop kit offers a marble finish that Daich believes will be one of the hottest-selling kits of 2024.
Project #3 – Marble Dream® Resurfacing Kit – This easy four-step weekend project brings a marble surface in Pristine White or Cosmos Black to almost any surface. The kit covers 40 square feet and requires the absolute minimal of skills to achieve a true marble finish with genuine marble veins.
For the most “visited” room of the home — the garage — Daich suggests a total resurfacing of the floor to make it both attractive and safe from slips and falls.
Project #4 – DaiHard® MAX Industrial Strength Epoxy Floor Coating Kit – DIYers can cover up to 250 square feet of ugly interior concrete surface with a tough, glossy high-performance finish with this inclusive kit. The two-part epoxy formula is easy to apply by roller or squeegee and can upgrade floor surfaces in garages, laundry rooms and basements. Available in two colors with optional decorative vinyl flakes that help create a slip-resistant surface.

Finally, to keep other surfaces around the homes safe — like patios, walkways, pool decks, steps and porches — Daich proposes adding an anti-slip coating.
Project #5 – Trac-Safe® Anti-Slip Sealer – With anti-slip ratings up to twice the OSHA standard, TracSafe provides aggressive anti-slip performance with all-weather durability. Simply roll down two coats of the product a few hours apart for allow for drying. The clear coat strengthens and protects surfaces, while also helping to protect the pedestrians who walk on it from slip and fall mishaps. Its high-performance, odorless water-based technology bonds firmly to all types of flooring materials, from concrete, masonry, stone and pavers, to tile, vinyl, linoleum and pre-painted surfaces —indoors and out.
“We believe these will be the top five projects that DIYers will tackle in 2024,” says Daich. “Naturally we have dozens of other products and projects to choose from, but these five seem to call out to people. Any level of DIYer can tackle these projects and gain outstanding results. Perhaps that’s why their popularity continues to grow!”
