Wonderful Waxhaw Refresh

Home to the same family for over thirty years, this house was showing some serious wear and tear. Some repairs and updates later, the home was ready for the market.

The local market may be pretty hot, but homes that aren’t updated or modern still won’t sell. With the help of Allen Tate agent Jennifer Soprano, our Curbio Charlotte team was able to not only make the home market-ready but also sell it for significantly more. Our home improvement projects included updates to the flooring, kitchen, and exterior as well as miscellaneous home inspection repairs.

The carpets throughout the home were stained and worn down. Potential buyers would have lost interest immediately. To attract buyers instead of sending them the other way, we replaced the carpet before selling in the following rooms:

Primary bedroom and closet
Upstairs hallway and closets
All the bedrooms upstairs
Bonus room
Staircases
Family room
Office on the main floor

The kitchen was in decent shape, but the green countertops and dated backsplash were ruining the ambiance of the room. Our work included:

Upgrading the ceramic tile backsplash
Installing a new stainless-steel sink, kitchen faucet, and garbage disposal
Replacing the ceiling fixture in the breakfast area
Patching the drywall under the bar
Relocating an electrical outlet and switch

The large master bath was a great feature to draw buyers in, but a few updates to the details helped the room see its full potential. Our work included:

Cleaning and caulking the shower to remove mildew
Reglazing the acrylic shower pan
Replacing the floor tiles with vinyl plank flooring

Although the home has a porch, deck, and fenced-in yard, it was showing several years of wear and tear. Some much-needed updates made the exterior one worth highlighting once more. Projects included:

Replacing the screen door
Pressure washing and painting the deck and railing
Replacing damaged or worn siding as needed
Rebuilding broken areas of the fence
Replacing the fascia as needed
Cleaning the gutters
Installing a new roof downspout and extender

Buyers love updated flex rooms, but this one wasn’t exactly exciting envy. To make the room more like a dream come true, we updated the carpeting and also replaced the ceiling fan.
