I cannot say enough about the team at HOMEstretch! As a Wilmington Realtor with over 14 years of experience, I knew from the moment they presented at our Wicker Properties office that they were exactly what so many sellers have been needing. From their prompt response for the initial walkthrough, to the timely completion of agreed-upon repairs, to their exceptional follow-up after the work was finished, every step of the process exceeded my expectations. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding. If your office hasn't had the opportunity to see their presentation, I highly recommend inviting them in to learn about the valuable services they offer. And if you have sellers wondering how they'll tackle repairs, updates, or preparation before listing in order to maximize their home's value and profit, HOMEstretch is the solution you've been looking for. I look forward to working with them again and confidently recommending them to my clients!

I recently had the opportunity to work with HOMEstretch on one of my listings, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. They were incredibly responsive from start to finish, communicated every step of the way, and offered fair, transparent pricing. What really stood out was the range of services they were able to coordinate. Instead of juggling multiple contractors, they handled everything seamlessly, making the process significantly less stressful for both me and my clients. Most importantly, when my clients weren’t completely satisfied with a few items, the HOMEstretch team didn’t hesitate to make it right. They went above and beyond to ensure everything met expectations, which says a lot about the way they do business. As a REALTOR®, having dependable vendors makes all the difference, and HOMEstretch has earned a spot on my go-to list. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work, excellent communication, and outstanding customer service.

I can’t say enough great things about HOMEstretch in Hampstead! They came out within two days for a free evaluation, really listened to our ideas, and helped create a plan that made sense for the home at a very reasonable price. In just over a week, they had everything updated, renovated, and freshly painted, and we were ready for professional photos and to hit the market. The transformation was incredible. We had several people tour the home before the updates who really liked it but weren’t ready to make an offer. The day we went live, we held an open house, one of those buyers came back, was blown away by how bright, fresh, and clean everything looked, and made an offer on the spot. As a Realtor, I know how much presentation matters, and HOMEstretch absolutely delivered. Their communication, speed, and quality of work exceeded my expectations, and I’ll be recommending them to many of my clients moving forward. Thank you for helping make this sale a success!

I’m about to start my third project with Homestretch Wilmington and I’ve been really happy with them! The feedback from homeowners and buyers has been great, and the all-inclusive project manager setup makes everything so much easier. It saves me a ton of time, keeps the project organized, and lets me focus on lead generation and helping my clients. They’ve been super convenient to work with, and I’d definitely recommend them.

Excellent team. These folks do great work in a timely and affordable manner. They paid attention to detail, and offered some great advice. After the work was completed the owner got a full price offer within 2 weeks! They netted an extra 7.5% on the sales price, from our initial estimates! It was a great investment all around.

I have nothing but great things to say about HOMEstretch. As an active Realtor in the area, I’ve partnered with them on numerous listings, and they have consistently exceeded both my expectations and those of my clients... Brad, Christie, and Nick make the entire process seamless—from the initial meeting with the homeowner and the prompt delivery of a detailed estimate to the quick turnaround once the work is approved. They are proactive, communicative, and always show up ready to get the job done right. What I appreciate most is how HOMEstretch removes the stress and burden from homeowners while helping present a truly move-in-ready property to prospective buyers. Their work has helped several of my clients maximize the value of their homes, and in multiple cases has contributed to generating strong interest and even multiple-offer situations. I highly recommend HOMEstretch to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable team to prepare their home for the market. Their service and results are second to none.

Cannot recommend Homestretch enough! From A to Z, they took what could have been a stressful and complicated move out situation and made it seamless. As a local realtor, I was impressed by their professionalism, punctuality, and follow through. I will definitely be sharing my experience with them to my fellow real estate community.

They are extremely driven organized and quality people, and they surround themselves with trusted craftsman and contractors. Their ability to meet my needs as a real estate agent and help my listings hit the market with an exceptional return on investment has really made me a big fan of their service.

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.

No, we specialize in pre-sale home preparation as the essential step before staging. Count on HOMEstretch to handle the big improvements, like walls and floors, to provide the stager with a clean, neutral canvas.
