Customer Reviews

Daniel D Rojas

Starcom did an exceptional job on our home addition from start to finish. The architectural planning session was outstanding—they provided both virtual and physical designs that gave us a clear, confident vision of what to expect. Their selections for hardware, flooring, and other finishes were top-notch. When it came time for construction, the experience was even better. They guided us through every step of the process and gave us a direct line of communication for any questions or concerns. One of the most impressive aspects was how they handled the unexpected challenges that inevitably arise during construction. They consistently offered smart engineering solutions, presented clear options, and exceeded our expectations every time. I highly recommend Starcom—their work, communication, and professionalism were truly top-tier.

Starcom added a sunroom to our house. Their architect integrated it perfectly to the existing structure. In fact, the whole project went flawlessly. Starcom could not have been more helpful walking us through the process, what to expect, time frames, etc. The quality of their work was second to none. After completion, we did not need any follow ups for anything. That is amazing and a testimonial to their attention to detail. We could not be happier and will only call Bob for future projects. You have not only met, but exceeded our expectations. We have recommended Starcom to our friends and neighbors and they echo our feelings. Everyone thanked us for the recommendation and praised Starcom's work. Bob, you have us as a client for life!

Our house being small, we wanted some parts of the house remodeled and also wanted to do some critical additions. We contacted Bob, who I believe is the owner of the company. My wife and I found him very friendly, approachable and at the same time very professional. He spent over 50 hours free of cost in giving us additions/remodeling ideas, which were very impressive. Also, the price quotation he provided was extremely competitive. We definitely would have signed the contracts with him for all the remodeling and additions, but one thing that stopped us going forward was because a garage could not be added due to the limited allowed space as per the plat. Based on our experience with this company, I can confidently say that anyone working with this company will be very happy and satisfied. I strongly recommend this company for any home remodeling, additions or upgrade work.
