For older homes with nonsensical layouts to homes in disrepair that need a complete rehab, Curbio’s got you covered with turnkey, efficient home improvements. The best part is that sellers don’t pay a cent until closing. This allows home sellers to make the updates necessary to get their homes sold without sacrificing some of the value and equity that they’ve spent years building.
Remodels require more extensive work than a simple refresh or basic repairs and touch-ups. They typically require permits and can include layout changes, new cabinets, bathroom additions, and rerouting plumbing and electric systems. Below are some of the individual services that might be included in a pre-listing remodel.
- Wall removals and additions
- Cabinet installation
- New roof
- Kitchen remodels
- Bathroom remodels
- Basement/attic finishing
- Decks and fences
- Bathroom additions
- Electrical rerouting
Cost of Common Updates
Below you’ll find average prices for remodels. Please keep in mind that prices vary by location and are all-inclusive.
Kitchen Remodels
Average: $28,200
Kitchens will always be a focal point for prospective home buyers, and sometimes a quick refresh isn’t enough. From replacing cabinets to opening up a kitchen by removing a wall, Curbio’s able to brighten up even the darkest kitchen.
Bathroom Remodels
Average: $12,900
Today’s buyers are looking for something beyond the basic bathroom. To attract more buyers, it may be worth completely revamping your bathrooms—especially the master bath. Think: demolishing outdated fixtures, installing a new shower or tub, adding new floor tiles and completely updating plumbing.
New Roof
Average: $16,800
While not something most homeowners think about regularly, a solid roof is important for maintaining a safe and sound structure. Most homeowners prefer to buy a home that won’t need a roof update anytime soon.

In the spacious master bathroom, we replaced the old-school, clunky jacuzzi tub with a modern and bright freestanding tub. We finished the space off with fresh vanities, new granite countertops, and modern flooring to turn the space into a relaxing haven.
