As a local real estate agent, I've referred clients to HOMEstretch many times to assist in repairs, painting, and whatever needs to be done in order to get a house ready for photos and showings. They are always prompt, do great work, and offer fair pricing with flexible payment options. I'm using them on my own personal home as I get ready to sell it myself and can always confidently refer them to my clients.

HOMEstretch was perfect for getting my home ready to list on the market. It's been such a relief to have one point of contact for repairs, cleaning, painting, landscaping. Will happily work with HOMEstretch again whenever I sell.

We had a great experience with HOMEstretch! They did an excellent job painting our new home and installing carpet on the stairs—everything looks fantastic. What really stood out was their attention to detail and responsiveness. They were quick to take care of minor touch-ups we noticed and made sure everything was just right. The team was also incredibly friendly, professional, and hardworking throughout the entire process. Highly recommend HOMEstretch if you’re looking for quality work and a team that truly cares about the final result!

HOMEstretch was very quick, efficient, and transparent throughout their whole process. Our house was on and off the market for 5 months and after we had HOMEstretch update our home, we had 2 offers within hours of reposting. Highly recommend.

I would highly recommend HOMEstretch! From reviewing the property for the estimate to the completion of the task, they did a wonderful job. Any and all issues were communicated and rectified quickly. They were also able to provide me with guidance on how to increase the value of my property. The quality of the work was key to my successful selling of the listing.
