We worked with Kevin to prepare our home for listing and we had a great experience! HomeStretch helped with painting and patching, landscaping, cleaning, and even replacing a light fixture and some drywall. Kevin was really communicative and kept us updated as they worked on our home. HomeStretch made it easy to get our home on the market and sold quickly!

HOMEstretch was a fantastic investment! They were an efficient and effective one-stop shop for all of our home's aesthetic needs, from landscaping to interior paint, prior to posting our house on the market within a couple weeks. We were very pleased with the pace in which the work got done by Kevin and his team, and it was absolutely worth the cost!

Kevin and his group were amazing! We needed to go out of town for 3 weeks and he completely remodeled the inside of our house, just as we requested. He was very responsive when I would call him and ask if they could do one more thing. He kept us updated on the work while we were gone. Their pricing was very reasonable. If he came across something that his group didn’t do, he got us someone right away and they were also amazing. They had everything done as promised when we got home. They were an answer to a prayer. One stop shopping. I would recommend them with the highest confidence and we are so appreciate of all they did for us.

I recently worked with Kevin and Jeff to help prepare my clients home for sale, and I couldn’t be happier. Their team was professional and incredibly friendly. They really went above and beyond. The results spoke for themselves, the home looked stunning and went under contract within days of listing.

March 2025

We contacted HomeStretch to help us with selling our house. They came in and identified several items that we might want to look at taking care of before we put it on the market.I wanted them to refresh and paint the entire house, they had no problem at all. They sent in two great painters, and they went floor by floor until everything was painted, no delays.Kevin and Jeff were great to work with. They suggested that we replace a couple of our dated Lighting Fixtures in the bathrooms, they picked out the Lighting Fixtures, they looked great. Wish we would have done this years ago.They brought in House Cleaners to make sure that everything was clean and ready for the open house, they also brought in Carpet Cleaners for the three rooms that have carpet in them. They were fast, efficient and when they said they were going to be at our house, they were always early!I can't thank the HomeStretch guys enough for everything they did to get our home market ready! (We had a open house, and received an offer that first day)

We help homeowners by offering simple, neutral recommendations based on what works in the current market. The curated color palettes in our HOMEstretch Color Book are based on fresh, neutral styles that appeal to buyers. We offer different flooring tiers to fit the price point and style of your home.

Current first-time homebuyers typically aren’t eager to take on projects; they want to move in and feel at home immediately. Homes with neutral colors sell best because of their wider appeal. By focusing on walls, ceilings and floors—which make up 90% of what buyers see—we help you maximize the sales price and reduce time on the market.
