The Skilled Labor Shortage
Swift Melrose Refresh
This Boston-area home had all the makings of a great sale but was missing something in the details to really fly off the market.
With an expansive backyard, four bedrooms, and an attached garage, this home was in a desirable spot but lacked some finishing touches. Some basic changes were all that was needed to make the home market-ready, so we focused on:
- Interior painting
- Lighting upgrades
- Miscellaneous fixes
It is amazing what such simple updates can do. Not only did the seller walk away with quite a bit of extra dough in their pocket, but also the listing agent was happy with the results. Chris McNamara of eXp Realty exclaimed, “Larry [the Curbio Project Manager] is awesome to work with. Great communication, timely delivery of the work, and prompt to come back and do minor touch-ups to items upon request!”

The sunroom was a nice bonus space that needed just a bit of touching up. We painted the walls, ceilings, trim, and paneling to help brighten up the room even more.

All the bedrooms needed just one or two touch-ups. Our work varied depending on the particular bedroom but included fixing cracks or small holes in the wall as well as painting walls, ceilings, baseboards or trim. There were also a a few miscellaneous tasks like installing a handle piece on one closet door and adjusting a door that wasn’t closing properly.
