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 that was not helping its resale value. After some much-needed fixes were done, the seller saw a profit of $130,997.
We did a variety of work including:
- Interior painting
- Exterior updates
- Miscellaneous fixes and repairs
These updates alongside the diligent work of a Long & Foster agent led to a 503% return on investment for the seller. The result was over $130,000 in extra money back in their pocket at the closing table.
If your listings are not meeting buyers’ needs, we want to help. Our pay-at-closing concierge service makes home updates more accessible so homeowners can sell faster and for more. Contact us today to learn about partnering with Curbio.

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

- Installing a new shutter
- Replacing the exterior light at the basement door
- Removing bricks and screens from the drain at the basement entrance
