What’s included in a presale property makeover?

A presale makeover is a strategic renovation service designed to enhance your home’s presentation before it hits the market. At Curtis Construction, we understand that first impressions matter — and even small improvements can make a big difference in attracting buyers and achieving a better sale price.

The scope of a presale makeover will vary depending on the condition of your property, your budget, and how much impact you want to make. Every home is different, but a typical makeover may include:

• Internal and external painting to refresh tired spaces

• New light fittings or updated fixtures

• Cosmetic bathroom or kitchen upgrades — such as resurfacing benchtops, replacing taps, or updating handles

• Minor carpentry repairs — patching walls, fixing doors, or replacing damaged skirting boards

• Landscaping touch-ups like mulching, hedging, or replacing old turf

• Flooring replacements or polishing if surfaces are worn

• Decluttering support or recommendations to help with staging

Importantly, a presale makeover focuses on cost-effective improvements with strong visual impact, rather than large-scale structural works. The aim is to appeal to a broad range of buyers by creating a clean, modern, and move-in-ready appearance.

Because we’re builders — not just stylists — we can identify and resolve any underlying issues that might show up during building inspections, giving you peace of mind when selling. We also help homeowners prioritise which areas will offer the best return on investment based on current market trends in the Sutherland Shire and Southern Sydney.

Whether you're preparing to sell a unit, townhouse, or family home, a tailored presale makeover can make your property more competitive — and help you stand out for the right reasons.
