A Short-Term Rental Turnaround for Gabriel

The starting point

Gabriel owned an Airbnb that was slowly losing ground. The booking rate was sliding because the home lacked the updates today's guests expect — and in the short-term rental market, dated interiors show up directly in the numbers. Her realtor, who knew the work we do, referred her to us.

The scope

This was a targeted whole-home upgrade aimed at the rooms that drive bookings. We handled the kitchen, a butler's pantry, a bathroom, and the laundry room across roughly 2,870 square feet. The work included new cabinets and new appliances throughout, quartz countertops, and a new island with a waterfall edge as the kitchen's centerpiece, along with new flooring. Every choice was made with a clear job: photograph well, hold up to rental traffic, and signal quality to a guest comparing listings.

The outcome

Gabriel was thrilled with the result — and the market responded immediately. She mentioned that within the first day of posting the updated listing, the home was booked for the month. For a rental owner, that is the only metric that matters, and it is the clearest possible proof that the right remodel is an investment, not an expense.
