Waterfront Interior Refresh

Waterfront Interior Refresh – The Sanctuary, Sandbridge (Virginia Beach)

Project Overview

After long-term tenants vacated the home, the homeowner requested a full interior refresh to prepare this prime waterfront property in The Sanctuary for sale. Known for its strong appeal as a short-term rental destination, the goal was to present the space as clean, bright, and move-in ready—ideal for listing photography, showings, and investor interest.

This project focused on delivering a cohesive, neutral finish that enhances the home’s natural light, open layout, and coastal setting.

Scope of Work

  • Interior wall painting throughout main living areas, stairwells, and hallways

  • Neutral color selection to maximize light and buyer appeal

  • Surface preparation, including patching and smoothing typical tenant wear

  • Trim and detail touch-ups for a clean, finished presentation

  • Full protection of floors, fixtures, and surrounding surfaces

Project Considerations

  • High-visibility areas required consistent coverage and clean transitions

  • Open-concept layout demanded seamless color continuity

  • Finish quality was prioritized to support professional listing photography

The Result

The refreshed interior now presents as bright, clean, and well-maintained—ready to be listed with confidence. Subtle, neutral tones complement the waterfront atmosphere while allowing potential buyers to easily envision the space as their own, whether as a primary residence or a continued short-term rental investment.

This project highlights OakSurge’s ability to deliver efficient, high-impact interior updates that add value at critical moments—particularly for coastal, investor-focused properties.

Bathroom Remodel Modern Refresh

This bathroom remodel transformed a dated, heavily textured space into a clean, modern retreat with improved functionality and timeless finishes.

The original bathroom featured bold blue sponge-painted walls, aging fixtures, and a worn shower enclosure that made the space feel darker and more closed in. The homeowner wanted a brighter, more modern look with finishes that would hold up over time while elevating the overall feel of the room.

The Vision

The goal was to modernize the bathroom by:

  • Brightening the space

  • Updating finishes with a clean, neutral palette

  • Improving the shower layout and functionality

  • Creating a cohesive, polished look from top to bottom

The Transformation

We completed a full bathroom refresh that included:

  • New tiled walk-in shower with large-format wall tile and a pebble-style shower floor for texture and visual interest

  • Custom shower niche for built-in storage and a cleaner look

  • Frameless glass shower door to keep the space open and light

  • Updated vanity and mirror with integrated lighting for a sleek, modern finish

  • Fresh paint throughout to replace the outdated textured walls with a soft, neutral tone

  • Updated fixtures and hardware for a cohesive, contemporary feel

The result is a bathroom that feels larger, brighter, and significantly more refined—while still being practical for everyday use.

The Result

This remodel completely changed the look and feel of the bathroom. What was once dark and dated is now a clean, modern space that feels fresh, functional, and welcoming. The combination of light tile, modern fixtures, and thoughtful details brought the homeowner’s vision to life and added long-term value to the home.

Project Highlights

  • Full bathroom remodel

  • Modern tile shower with niche

  • Frameless glass enclosure

  • Neutral color palette

  • Updated vanity, lighting, and fixtures
