INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Mike Jackson, a renowned builder and DJ is inspiring homeowners with spring home improvement projects.

Jackson, who is also known as DJ Fadelf, has made a name for himself in the home renovation world by creating stunning spaces with his wife, Egypt Sherrod, on shows like Rock the Block.

Now, as the host of HGTV’s Smart Home 2025, he shares his expertise in tackling home improvement projects, emphasizing starting small to avoid feeling overwhelmed.

“Add some mulch to the front, some new planter boxes, some new plants, whatever the case may be, and then head on inside for that smaller task in a smaller room. Spruce that up, and before you know it, you got all your projects done out the way,” Jackson explained.

For those looking to enhance their home’s curb appeal, Jackson recommends using products from OM Scott and Sons, which offer natural grass food and seed products. He emphasizes the importance of the yard, calling it “the best room in the house that’s not even in the house.”

Jackson also suggests using Frog Tape for painting projects, noting its exclusive paint block technology that prevents paint bleed and ensures sharp lines. This high-quality tape is suitable for various surfaces and offers easy cleanup.

Safety is another priority for Jackson, who advises using Venom Steel two-layer nitrile gloves for protection during DIY tasks. These gloves are designed to be rip and chemical-resistant, providing a secure grip and touchscreen compatibility.

To easily improve any decor, Jackson recommends upgrading lighting with GE Reveal light bulbs, which enhance a home’s colors and patterns with stunning contrast and clarity. These bulbs are available at Target and are favored by interior designers.

With his diverse expertise and practical tips, Mike Jackson continues to inspire homeowners to take on their own renovation projects with confidence and creativity.
