We had a truly wonderful experience with Stello Homes! Our home-buying journey took place over the course of three years, with periods where we paused and resumed our search — and throughout it all, the Stello team remained supportive and patient.Our agent, Tara Ricciardelli, was incredibly sweet, diligent, and attentive from beginning to end. She always made us feel heard and never rushed, no matter how long the process took. We couldn't have asked for a better guide through such an important milestone.Beyond helping us purchase our new home, Stello Homes also supported us years ago when another property we own suffered a minor flood. Their team helped us with the floor restoration, and that positive experience was one of the reasons we returned to them for our home search.Thank you to Tara and the entire Stello team for your professionalism, kindness, and unwavering support. We are so grateful and would highly recommend your services to anyone!

We hired StelloHomes to help us build a mudroom space into our home as we prepare to welcome baby #5—we needed help getting organized and eliminating clutter! From start to finish, Zach and his team were exceptional.Zach was a pro at walking us through the design process, ensuring we got the biggest bang for our buck. Communication was clear, and he set expectations upfront, which made the entire experience stress-free. His crew was phenomenal—they showed up every day, worked hard, and were incredibly skilled. Any design or build question was brought to us with multiple well-thought-out solutions, making decision-making easy.What really stood out was how excited and engaged the team was in their work. They were incredibly thoughtful about durability and functionality, knowing that our big family would be putting this space to the test! They also added extra value throughout the project, including a brilliant attic space idea above the garage.We are beyond happy with our new mudroom and look forward to working with StelloHomes again on our next project. If you’re looking for a solutions-based renovation partner who truly cares about craftsmanship and client satisfaction, we highly recommend StelloHomes!

From my real estate agent to transition coordinator, Stello Homes services exceeded my expectations. They'll have my business for life. I highly recommend them to anyone. Ask them the tough questions and get out of their way. They'll aren't afraid to get in the trenches with you and fight to solve any problem you have encounter. I give a big thanks to the team that supported me through the acquisition process. You will not regret working with them.

We used Zach and the team at Stello homes as our listing agent for our home in Sterling, VA. They had recently listed and sold the home right next door to us.The whole process was smooth, communication was clear and concise, and like our neighbors, we sold in one weekend well over list with several competing offers.Zach did a great job negotiating with the various interested buyers agents and we feel confident we got top dollar for our home.

The Stello team took our vision for a updated basement and made it real! The design support was on point and made the process of selecting from thousands of options extremely manageable as she always came with a narrow range of options that perfectly aligned with my style. The on-site crew was highly detail oriented and always came to us with feedback and necessary questions before proceeding with work. We definitely intend to work with them again...hopefully soon!

Outstanding experience working with Stello Homes. Zach is an invaluable source of knowledge and help, and once we got closer to closing, Sarah was extremely helpful in ensuring that we had all of the fine details sorted out and our "ducks in a row". 5/5 would work with them again any time!

Zach and his team renovated our fireplace. They added a brick tile, reframed the box to fit an insert and installed a new mantel. The finished product looks very pretty. When there was a small issue with the trim, they came back and fixed it. We are pleased with our new fireplace. It gives the room a facelift.

I recently hired Stello Homes, led by owner Zach Costello, for a complete remodel of my 1950s basement, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome.From start to finish, Zach and his team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a commitment to excellence. They transformed my outdated space into a modern, functional area that vastly exceeded my expectations.Their craftsmanship was exceptional, and communication throughout the project was seamless. I highly recommend Stello Homes for any home renovation needs. In fact, they are the ONLY company I recommend for renovations of any size.

Two-Story Addition: My husband and I hired Stello Homes when we decided to expand our home and finally get the dream primary suite. Ted, Alexa, Leonardo and the rest of the crew worked hard to make sure we designed our spaces with stylish functionality, and they executed it beautifully (family room, powder room & primary suite).The speed in which they worked was impressive and did not go unnoticed by us and our neighbors. Even with a few changes during the project, they managed to prevent extending the timeline. The communication with our project manager, Ted, was reassuring. He was easily accessible and always happy to take our many questions. His knowledge of all the trades was remarkable.We’ve already recommended Stello Homes to neighbors and are proud to show off our new home as proof of their high-quality work.

I have been beyond impressed with the services the team at Stello Homes has provided. I have used them for rental management, renovation work, and a new home search! I've mostly worked with Ted Watkins, and first and foremost he is a great person and is very knowledgeable and professional. Anytime you are dealing with your home and or real estate investments, you want a team that cares for and treats the process as if they were doing this for their own family. This is exactly how my wife and I have felt working with Ted and the team at Stello homes. Highly recommend and thank you Stello Homes!

We had a great experience with Stello homes. We worked with Zach and Ted to work through the various details involved in the reconstruction process following extensive tree damage to our home. Stello was willing to work with our insurance company's timeline on various payment schedules, which helped tremendously. Ted was our Project Manager and maintained a great line of communication throughout the entire process. We had many questions and Ted took the time to answer every single one to ensure that we understood what would be happening with the many aspects of the project. Stello was also willing to work with a couple of subcontractors that we chose for certain aspects of the project, which was great. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and helped offer peace of mind during a stessful and lengthy reconstruction process. We would definitely recommend Stello Homes to anyone looking for a quality Home Renovation company.

Fantastic experience with Stello Homes! My wife and I were looking to renovate a bathroom for our house that was built in 1950. Zach provided us several options for the space and walked us extensively through all the detail prior to the project start.It was a major amount of construction, but the project manager, Grover, was amazing in working with us to make sure nothing was disruptive to our daily routines. More importantly, it looks absolutely amazing. We can't believe the space was able to be transformed to a completely modern bathroom. We will definitely use Stello again!

Stello Homes is great to work with! They did an amazing job with new floors, painting, and a ton of other work around our house. I would recommend them to anybody looking to remodel in the area. They also remodeled our whole kitchen, master bath, and walk in closet. They rock and are very easy to work with!

Zach was fantastic in helping with the sale of our current home and helping us purchase our dream home. He was super fast with the entire process and kept up informed during every step of the way. Sad we won’t be working with them again because he found us our forever home.

If you are looking to buy or sell a home, work with Stello Homes! As first time homebuyers, the Stello Homes team could not have been better! They walked us through the entire process from start to finish, and were incredibly communicative. Finding the right real estate agent is so important - Stello Homes was right for us, and will be right for you too!

Had my master bath renovated. Stello Homes was right there, start to finish. They competed the work two days ahead of schedule! Their designer Tara was a huge help, and their crew of renovators went above and beyond. I would gladly use them again, and highly recommend them. Worth every penny.

We hired Stello Homes for a lower-level renovation (full basement reno, laundry room, and converting a half bath into a full bath) after hearing about them through our neighbors, who had used them to renovate two of their homes. It was a seamless process from start to finish and we couldn't be happier with the results. The entire team is courteous, knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We give them our highest recommendation.

I've worked with Zach and his team for the purchase of two homes and now the sale of one home. Each time he came prepared and ready to execute. He did a great job educating and working with us so that we understood and were comfortable with everything that was going on. I couldn't recommend a service higher - I wouldn't use any other realtor in the NOVA area.

Buying with Stello Homes could not have been a better experience! As a first time home-buyer, they made the process super easy to understand and were there to assist every step of the way. Ted Watkins is the man! He’s super knowledgable and responsive, wasting no time to get back to us and work with the selling agent on what was needed. His expertise on home repairs/maintenance was like having a home inspector with us on each walk-through. I can’t recommend him highly enough as an agent. Stello Homes also has an incredible business manager in Sarah Willacker. Her attention to detail, efficiency and organization made the process of signing documents, communication, and all the nitty-gritty details a breeze. If you’re in the market to buy, sell or remodel, there isn’t a better choice than the team at Stello Homes!!!
