We used South Star construction to build our ADU from the ground up and had a great experience overall.They were efficient, fairly priced, and very upfront about what was included in their scope of work. Communication was clear, there were no surprise costs, and they delivered what they promised. The project stayed on track, and the quality of work was solid.If you’re looking for an honest contractor who does good work and respects your budget, I’d definitely recommend them.
We came to SouthStar to build an ADU on my grandparents property. At first we considered getting a manufactured home vs. an ADU. John and his team were extremely knowledgeable and not pushy.We ultimately went with SouthStar for the ADU build out and couldn’t be more happy with the results. He was able to work within our budget and still give us a beautiful finished product. You can probably find someone cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Save yourself the headache.
I hired another contractor who left me with a huge mess -unfinished and unpermitted work. John was referred to me and has been absolutely incredible with getting my renovation back on track, he not only gave me advice but helped me get to the point where am finally feeling like there is a light at the end of this nightmare of a renovation. He helped get me connected to quality subcontractors who were honest, fair and completed work on time. I am so thankful to have been referred to John, you won’t regret working with him!
We couldn’t have been happier with the work that was done by SouthSTAR Construction when we had our balcony torn down and rebuilt.John and his team were very professional, showed up on time, paid attention to all the little details needed, always cleaned up at the end of theday, and always communicated throughout the job on what was being done.I’d highly recommend John and his team from SouthSTAR Construction to anyone that needs work done, you won’t be disappointed!
