Alexander Rietveld, Design/Build

I am a real estate agent in Bethesda/​Potomac Maryland and I was fortunate to list a home that had been renovated by Alex Rietveld. He is a very talented and hard working professional. He meticulously upgraded and improved the most important aspects of the home with stylish, practical and cost effective applications. When he told me the total amount that had been spent on the renovations I was astonished. He got the look without breaking the bank. The
home sold in 21 days for full asking price.

Alex has done 2 jobs for us – each better than the previous. First, a small renovation of an investment condo. that he got painted, new bathroom, kitchen appliances installed, window treatments in, etc. – ship shape in 2 weeks so we could sell in a lousy market & it did – in a weekend!
Next, another investment property (a home) that we’d rented out for years, but w/​tenant turnover, pets, kids, & renters too busy to keep the place up? What a mess when we wanted to sell. Had tried to do so the previous year, & tho the home looked good, being not far from freeway with noise? No success.
Next summer thought we’d try again. In 6 weeks, supervising a hard-​working crew, working very long hours to get the job done on a deadline (w/​no complaints), Alex & his guys transformed the home from an ugly duckling to a swan! And at a reasonable cost – considering all the work done – new kitchen cabinets, counters, new floors, brand new deck, back/​front yard fully land/​hard scaled, renovation of laundry room, bedrooms painted, floors done, bathrooms re-​done – the works. And then add great staging & we couldn’t believe our eyes when the work was done. The couple who bought the house said the deck & the kitchen island (both Alex’s ideas) sold them.
He has terrific design ideas, interior & exterior-​wise, finds the best prices, is incredibly hard-​working & honest, & has good guys working for him, too – a true professional that we’d use again in a heartbeat. The home sold in a week – & for more than we asked for.
