The Skilled Labor Shortage #2
Necessary Alexandria Refresh
With six bedrooms and five bathrooms, it is no surprise that this house was lacking a bit in upkeep. A few simple fixes and repairs helped restore the home to its former glory.
This large Alexandria home had the space but was showing some wear and tear, like many lived-in homes do. Curbio did a variety of work including:
- Interior painting
- Exterior updates
- Miscellaneous fixes and repairs
The bathrooms all needed just a little attention to detail to take them to the next level. Our work included:
- Replacing the toilet seats
- Upgrading the bathroom sink faucet in the master bath
- Reinstalling accessory kits
- Testing the plumbing in the faucets and toilets
- Installing a new showerhead and handle
- Painting the walls

The entryway is the first thing potential buyers will see when they step into the home. Unfortunately, some bright red walls and worn-down wooden floors did not give off the best first impression. To spruce up the space, we did work including:
- Removing damaged hardwood flooring
- Patching or installing hardwood oak
- Sanding the hardwood and applying satin polyurethane
- Blending the new flooring with the existing flooring
- Painting the walls

Don’t forget about the exterior. The exterior of the home had a few items that needed noticeable repairs before the offers could come rolling in. Our home improvement projects included:
- Pressure washing the siding, front porch, walkway, and basement stairway
- Installing a new shutter
- Replacing the exterior light at the basement door
- Removing bricks and screens from the drain at the basement entrance
- Cleaning the drain
- Replacing the exterior side dryer vent cap

- Installing and painting baseboards as needed
- Installing molding as needed
- Reconfiguring the sink waste and water lines
- Installing a new switch plate in the mechanical room
