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

- 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

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

The basement was a great bonus space but was in need of a few quick fixes to be ready for the market.
Our work included:
- Securing the handrail at the staircase and patching the drywall there
- Patching and painting the wall where the tv mount once was
- 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
- Replacing the toilet seat in the bathroom
- Replacing the sink stopper in the bathroom
