I can only say that David is sort of like 'Santa' with a gazillion elves at his service ... amazing work / and despite March weather - completed a whole house project in 3 weeks (with agent out of country!)

Homestretch does excellent work! We’ve had three clients work with David and his team to make strategic improvements to their home before listing and the process was seamless from beginning to end.

January 2026

I worked with the guys at HOMEstretch DMV to help my client on the sale of her mom's hoarder house. The mom had been bedridden for several years and the home reflected that; from the amount of clothing, furniture and junk all the way to the smell as the mother couldn't reach the bathroom and the smell was unbearable. The team was gracious to the client and assured her that there was nothing to be ashamed of. And to say that the home went from unbearable to multiple offers in 6 days doesn't do justice to the hard work they put in to emptying the home and cleaning it up to make it showable. My client was ecstatic and has already recommended me to other people. The HOMEstretch Team made me look good and I continue to recommend them to clients.
