Project Overview

Our investor client purchased this San Clemente property with a clear vision: transform the dated interior into a modern, bright space that would command premium rental rates in the competitive Orange County market.

The home featured heavily textured yellow/gold walls, honey oak cabinetry with dark granite countertops, outdated tile flooring, and fixtures from the early 2000s. While structurally sound, the aesthetics were holding back the property's rental potential.

Working closely with the investor, we developed a comprehensive renovation plan that would modernize every visible surface while staying within budget. The result exceeded expectations, allowing the property to rent immediately at a rate $1,500 higher than comparable unrenovated units in the area.
