The Skilled Labor Shortage
Simple Seattle Refresh
This Arbor Heights abode had a sizeable exterior space but lacked the refinement it needed to hit the market.
This home boasts a large yard and patio in the Arbor Heights neighborhood. While the exterior space alone may have intrigued some potential buyers, features like a carpeted bath and dated interior could have easily turned them away. Some key upgrades helped this home reach its full potential.
The main projects for this home involved:
- Flooring
- Painting
- Deep Cleaning
- Landscaping
After the sale, the seller praised us for being “very professional and reliable.” The listing agent, Debbie Walter, agreed and added, “The best part for me is it took all the contractor management coordination and liability of acting like a GC off my plate.” Whether you are a seller or an agent, if you would like to reap these same rewards, do not hesitate to contact us.

The original carpeted bathroom would have had buyers running for the hills. While replacing the carpet with luxury vinyl plank flooring was an obvious move, our work did not stop there.
Other updates included:
- Installing the baseboard
- Replacing the shower door and glass
- Reglazing the bathtub, acrylic shower pan, and wall surround
- Replacing the Roman tub faucet and valves
- Painting the vanity cabinets
- Installing new knobs/pulls and surface mount hinges
- Replacing the vanity top
- Removing the medicine cabinet and installing framed mirrors
- Installing new light fixtures above the vanity and on the ceiling

With its fireplace and large windows, the living room had a good foundation to build off of. The room just needed a few updates to elevate the space and bring the offers in.
Our work included:
- Fixing hairline cracks and small holes in the walls
- Painting the walls and ceilings
- Prepping and painting the fireplace brick
- Replacing the carpeting and padding
- Updating outlet covers and switch plates
- Deep cleaning most surfaces

The exterior of the home was lacking, but some landscaping updates were able to increase its curb appeal and attract buyers.
Landscaping included:
- Cleaning up of weeds and leaves
- Pruning low-level bushes
- Trimming tree branches
- Removing debris

The recreational room was a nice bonus area but needed a few finishing touches for buyers to realize its full potential. After a deep clean, as well as some painting and a new carpet, the room was ready for the market.
