Refreshes
Real estate agents know that in any market, the homes that sell the quickest are updated and move-in-ready. While most homes won’t require a complete remodel, many could benefit from a quick refresh to appeal to modern homebuyers before hitting the market. Refreshes are efficient, cost-effective ways to help a home sell faster and for top dollar.

Normal wear and tear and changes in design trends leave most homes needing a refresh before hitting the market. For refreshes, we work to broaden a home’s appeal by making cosmetic updates that pull modern design elements into the existing floorplan of a home.
From replacing countertops and refinishing cabinets in your kitchen to painting and installing new flooring throughout the home, Curbio’s got you covered with efficient refreshes that help you sell a home faster and for more. Curbio’s refreshes include projects that are more extensive than repairs and touch-ups, but typically do not require any permits, making them a great option for sellers looking to move quickly.
Below are some of the individual services that might be involved in a refresh:
- Cabinet refinishing
- Flooring updates
- Countertop replacements
- Backsplash installation
- Tile reglazing
- Painting
- Wallpaper removal
- Landscaping
- Any necessary repairs
Cost of common refreshes
Below you’ll find average price ranges for pre-listing refreshes. Please keep in mind that prices vary by location and are all-inclusive.
Kitchen Refreshes
Average: $13,600
Most kitchens don’t require a complete renovation to appeal to prospective buyers. Quick refreshes, including painting existing cabinets, adding a modern tile backsplash, and replacing outdated countertops with granite or quartz will make the space feel new and inviting.
Bathroom Refreshes
Average: $7,200
Avoid scaring away potential buyers by making bathrooms look brand new with a simple refresh. Reglazing existing tile, painting existing vanities and updating any outdated fixtures like sinks and cabinet handles can completely revitalize the space.
Landscaping
Average: $500
Boosting a home’s curb appeal is one of the easiest ways to attract potential buyers. Small refresh projects like landscaping can improve curb appeal and first impressions.

The kitchen cabinets were in good condition, so we opted to paint the cabinets instead of replacing them. To finish off the kitchen we disposed of the dark backsplash, and updated hardware and fixtures.
