CurbioReviews of curbio.com

Working with Curbio was the worst decision we’ve ever made in our lives. They advertise turnkey project management and “pay when you sell” convenience, but what we actually got was disorganization, poor communication, missed deadlines, and constant excuses. Their structural engineers made serious mistakes, and the permit process was a nightmare—applications were submitted incorrectly multiple times, delaying everything by months. Then, Curbio changed their entire business model while we were under contract, broke the agreement, and told us they would no longer fund the project, forcing us to come up with 80% of the remaining costs ourselves. Right after that, our project managers changed multiple times, leaving the job completely leaderless. What should have been a straightforward renovation turned into months of chaos, stress, and financial strain. Curbio’s marketing promises are empty; the reality is a company with no accountability, no consistency, and no integrity. If you value honesty, stability, and professionalism, avoid Curbio entirely.

Danger. Avoid. Predatory lending model and highly unethical company. Do not trust Curbio with your home or your finances. I’m writing this review because I refused to sign the NDA Curbio offered me after our experience with them. They tried to buy my silence with a $3,000 discount—after I had already paid $8,000 to settle the cost of botched carpet installation. I chose to speak up instead. What began as a renovation project to help sell our home turned into a months-long disaster that cost us tens of thousands of dollars, delayed our sale, and caused us to lose offers on homes for my elderly mother-in-law. We’re only now beginning to recover financially and emotionally. Curbio promises professional project management, but does not deliver. What we got was a project manager who was unfamiliar with our contract, missed meetings, whispered through blacked-out Zoom calls, and failed to supervise a single vendor after our initial walkthrough. Workers arrived unannounced and unsupervised. One day, roofers showed up with no ladder or tape measure and borrowed tools from our garage. Another time, our employee overheard an electrician say, “Just make something up and write it down—the owner won’t know.” When I asked for a new project manager—just days into the project—I was told to “remain hopeful.” That request was denied. We were promised weekly walkthroughs and clear oversight, which never happened. Instead, the project manager uploaded photos to the Curbio app that someone else had taken and passed them off as his own. Vendors were rude, corners were cut, and the carpet installation we paid $8,000 for was sloppy, with cheap metal transitions replacing the original hardwood ones. It was never inspected by anyone from Curbio. Upper management did not help. Curbio’s employees set their own schedules, and in our case, that meant no accountability and zero follow-through. After weeks of delays, miscommunication, and broken promises, they finally offered me a $3,000 “discount” if I signed an NDA. I refused. Why would a company that stands by its service need to pay customers to stay silent? To top it off, I later discovered that the regional manager assigned to our project sits on the board of Angel City Advisors, a nonprofit that advocates for housing equity in Los Angeles. I was stunned. How can someone claim to care about housing justice while overseeing a company that exploits families and harms vulnerable sellers? Curbio is not just disorganized—they are dangerous. They violated our contract and our trust. They cost us critical time, money, and housing opportunities. If we had the energy, we’d sue. If you’re considering working with them, don’t. There are better, safer, more ethical options out there.

I was going to use this company but I'm glad I didn't. I was talking with this jerk on the phon, going over what the problem was which was I had no heating. I was informed I would have to take a HELOC out on my house. I said what,,? He said very rudely. It's the only way to get heat. I just hung up. I would never do business with this horrible company.

I'm a Realtor and have a client who had $25K worth of structural work done , which was to be permitted, but turns out they did not do that. And the work was so bad it cost the seller an additional $20K in a price reduction after the horrendous inspection. Client is likely going to sue them.

I recommended Curbio to a friend and they did not show up for the initial appointment. Usually, this sets the tone for any future dealings. I will not use or recommend them to anyone again. They did not answer any calls, basically they were a NO CALL/NO SHOW. Thanks for NOTHING!!

No rating at all but a F-- on their operation experience and the unprofessional and untruthfulness towards the home owner. The price gouging is unbelievable and when you request, give ideas, ask for information always ignored and never ever given an answer. Do not use them at all. My property and home is in worse condition than before and the workmanship is not there at all by Curbio or the the contractor that work on the house. BEWARE AND DON NOT USE CURBIO at all, not a trustworthy company and the only thing they look for a job that is unprofessional and a fast buck. No professional in the outcome on witch Curbio lies in all their advertising on TV, Facebook, Commercials, ect... Lies, and untruth to all of it. There is no compassion, no communication and no one listens to the customer at all, even though it's that person home. So, DO NOT GO NEAR OR USE CURBIO, they are trouble and untruthfulness towards the customer. Also as a side note....deposed debris on the property next to my property and asked several times to clean it up with me being ignored. So, I will file a complaint to have it cleaned up since it wasn't my doing and for months had plenty of time to clean up. So, it will be in their fault....

Curbio did not finish our project in a timely manner. Curbio started our renovations in May 2022. They said they would complete the project in September 2022. Therefore giving us ample time to sell our home. Our home was not completed until April 2023. This gave us approximately one month to sell our home. The manager for our project was incompetent. We were not living in our home during the renovations. We discovered one bottle of our whiskey had been consumed. We believe he drank a bottle of whiskey in our home. Curbio reimbursed us for our whiskey. The manager constantly left all the doors to our home unlocked with the furnace turned on to a high temperature once he left the home. He did not apply for any permits in a timely manner.. etc. There were a number of problems with this individual. Curbio was aware of the problems, but kept this man on our case, although the deadline for the completion of our project had gone. There was never any explanation from Curbio, as to why they kept this incompetent person on our case. I asked them repeatedly for an answer, but was never given one. I asked them, if I was being treated this way because I am African American, with all things being equal. They continued to deny this, although they kept this incompetent person on our case, while interest rates continued to rise. Curbio finally removed this person in November 2022. Long after the given completion date of September 2022. Once the new person took over the case, she basically had to start new, because unknown to me, the original person had not even completed my preferences for color, fixtures, and other. This was to be done in May 2022. Once our home went on the market in April 2023, long after the September completion date, giving us one month to sell our home. Curbio, then began to send us emails demanding repayment of the loan although they knew they were responsible for the delay of our home going on the market.. They threatened us, that if we did not repay within our one year of signing the contract, they were going to charge us an outrageous interest payment daily. This company caused us to experience added anxiety, because we had to rush and sell our home, at what ever cost, to pay Curbio for the renovations. Curbio at the signing of the contract, gave us 6+ months to sell our home, but the reality was, we had one month to sell our home. There have not been any overtures of accountability for their horrible behavior directed at us. I would not use this company, especially if you are African American. They treated us horribly.

Terrible company that overcharges for work completed. They will also subcontractor work that is substandard. This company caused a fire at our home, refuse to take responsibility for it. Then, they failed to file a lien that will ensure they get paid at closing so rather they “notified” the title company and refuses to sign the document needed to settle their debt. They are purposely sabotaging our closings and they don’t care. We want them paid and out of our lives. Do not do business with this company! Ever!!
