The North Star Companies, LLC

I hired this company for numerous remodeling throughout the house. Price and work quality is great! Will hire again for all future work.

Three months after Northstar completely renovating my townhouse in Lanham, I contacted Chris Marshall about replacing the windows. I mentioned some nicks had developed in the wall from moving furniture. Within a short time frame, he sent one of his crew Milton to my house to touch up the nicks. Milton fixed the problem areas and then did a through look around and fixed several other nicks that resulted since the renovation. I appreciated this excellent service all at no cost and to let you know that even once your project is complete Chris and his crew will be there.

We bought a foreclosed property that needed a lot of work like leaking plumbing, roof, basement mold, etc. We also needed enhancement work all over the house. Chris provided a very accurate cost estimate and completed the work on time and within budget. Chris and his team are very skilled, knowledgeable, professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend them.

I love my home!!!! I still can't believe that I own this beautiful home. My experience with The North Star Companies was amazing. Mr. Marshall was very friendly and professional. I knew the first time that I met Mr. Marshall (with his notepad and measuring tape) that North Star was the company that was going to get the job done. I received notifications weekly about the updates to my home. I was never left out of the loop. Mr. Marshall was very knowledgeable about everything. I learned so much from him. The North Star Company is the best!!!

I have just returned from spending the winter in Florida to arrive home to a beautiful, fully renovated townhouse in Lanham, MD.North Star was recommended by a friend who had her side driveway constructed in North Beach.I had a friend sit through the initial interview and we both came to the conclusion that we could trust Chris to deliver on his promises.Chris took us to see two houses that were renovated by North Star. The North Beach house was one that I had frequented.I was in awe of the transformation! After selecting North Star, I was in Florida for the complete renovation so all communication, product selection, pictures, progress reports and guidance was done through email, text, HOA approvals and many phone conversations. The initial contract increased slightly due to repair of two defective floor joints and drywall in my living room. However, during the renovation I choose to replace the two sliding glass doors and front door, substitute the cultured marble bathroom counters with granite (highly recommended) and replace the 35 year old roof. These upgrades were done with a simple addendum to the original contract. Having full confidence regarding the progress, I made all increment payments due and made the final payment with a few remaining items as I knew that Chris and his crew would be there to finish. I have read all the reviews and just want to assure you that they are real. We are a privileged group to have contracted with North Star and Chris Marshall. I invite you come visit my newly renovated townhouse and see the high quality of the finished product.

Chris Marshall of North Star helped me from conception to finish with a 203k loan on a short sale property. It was a long process that I never could have made it through without the assistance of this company. After waiting from May 2016 until Dec 22 2016 to close on the house, Chris and his team got to work on Jan 4 and were finished on March 31, 2017. They encountered major renovations not planned for when they discovered termite damage which required a whole new flooring system. They went in and replaced everything; laying down pea gravel and sealing the crawl space with a vapor barrier and foam insulation after supporting the house with a steal beam. That was the unexpected part. Then they went to work completely renovating the walls and floors top to bottom with care do that the final result was a completely new home painted beautifully, crown molding, special doors and fixtures. They remodeled the bathroom by enlarging it, setting beautiful ceramic tile and fixtures including a cottage style vanity with quartz counter top. They put a whole new roof on the house, turned an outbuilding into a barn, built a 8 x 20 screened porch off the bedrooms, graded and landscaped around the whole house burying the drainoff from the new gutter system and running a water line to the barn. I am just giving you a brief idea of the enormous amount of work done jn such a short amount of time. All the way, Chris Marshall discussed progress, options, and kept me informed about everything. He went the extra mile to get everything done and oaid close attention to every little detail. He passed all inspections with flying colors and got me into the home by March 12,2017. You cant imagine just how much work was done all with a smile and devotion to getting it done right with quality materials and expert workmanship. It is quite scary to trust a contractor these days. Often they do a lousy job and leave you high and dry with work unfinished;saying they guarntee their work but not doing so. This company is trustworthy and reliable on every level and phase of a remodel project. Any question or concern I had, was responded to within the hour not the day. There were changes needed to the bid and Chris kept it financially feasible without sacrificing the overall look as he went along. He kept me on course and hopeful even when facing a real disastrous situation with the termite damage. I cannot tell you how greatful I am to have had North Star doing the work. They not only brought a dream into reality, they stepped it up to a higher level by adding all the bells and whistles. My home looks like a magazine and I am so pleased. So, if you are wondering about taking an older property on the market and turning it into your dream home, call on North Star. Chris Marshall is also a realtor so he can help you with the buying of the property as well. You will be amazed at what he can do for your unique situation.

Chris is a pro, the quality of the work was outstanding and the work was done on time and on budget. Communication was clear and Chris was always available.

We are very happy with the workmanship, professionalism, materials, and overall result of our basement repair completed by Chris and crew of the North Star Companies. As a result of a recent basement flood, we hired Chris to bring our basement back to life, as well as to complete some upgrades to make the space more functional for our family. The team worked to replace an overworked sump pump and backup system, repair drywall, and replace carpet that was damaged in the flood. They also created a playroom for our girls, and made some aesthetic changes by replacing plain drywall in our staircase with a beautiful wood and wrought iron rail. In comparison to other companies we interviewed, the North Star Companies is very competitively priced. They utilized upgraded materials which were much better than what was originally there. Chris and team remained flexible with our schedule, and was very responsive whenever we reached out to him to discuss changes and/or questions we had during the process. The end product is gorgeous and we already have plans to hire them again for future work in our home. We highly recommend the North Star Companies, as they were a pleasure to work with.

We are very happy with the workmanship, materials and the working relationship we had with Chris and his workmen. End product is beautiful, and Chris worked with us flexibly through the completion of the project to make sure we were happy with the results.

Reference for Chris Marshall We were having a rental house we owned for 37 years totally gutted and renovated, unfortunately the contractor we chose abandoned the job and left town. Our attorney recommendation Chris Marshall of North Star LLC. Chris inspected the job and gave us a very professional proposal and after getting several other proposals we reviewed all the proposals, Chris Marshall stood out from the others. Spelled out everything in detail and also Included with Chris Marshall's proposal he included The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulations for North Star Companies LLC along with Chris's Contractor/Salesman licenses, letter showing Maryland Home Builder Registration Number showing expiration date, a certificate from State of Maryland, Department of Assessments and Taxation showing that North Star Companies LLC was in good standing, their insurance binder summary of coverage and from The Better Business Bureau certification.

It has been a great experience so far. Chris is very professional and honest. They do quality work and have my best interest in mind.

Good quality work and very trustworthy! Works fast and hard until completion. Hired for multiple other jobs as well.

I contacted and hired The North Star Companies LLC to remodel my kitchen. Chris Marshall responded prompt and timely with great ideas and suggestions to enhance my kitchen area which also lead into enhancing my dining room area as well. All of my concerns and interests were treated with concern and factual details that were accurate. I was quite impressed with how Mr. Marshall expended himself with a hands on approach to ensure all work was completed with great detail intact. I was very very impressed with the final product and everyone raves about the transformation!

Mr. Chris Marshall is very good at what he does. Very good communication throughout the project. Always informative and customer service oriented. Even if there was something I noticed I didnt like or wanted to be changed, Chris made sure it was fixed to my liking in a timely manner. I am pleased with the work done to complete my basement and am very happy that Home Advisor suggested The North Star Companies LLC, namely Chris, to be my contractor. If I ever need contractor work done, I'll be calling Chris Marshall to get the job done correctly and efficiently.

I was so lucky finding Chris Marshall on Homeadvisor, he saved me from losing thousands of Dollars. I called Chris because I was in desperate need of someone who can finish the build out of my retail store. The contractor that originally started it, took the money but never finished. With the work half done and several inspections missing, it was near impossible for me to find someone who would complete the build out, as nobody wanted to take over a job that someone else had started. Chris and his team were extremely professional, offered a great price and finished all open work quickly and in much higher quality than anyone else who had worked for me before. I am sure to call them first for my next construction project! I cannot be happier!

They are very considerate, polite, clean. They worked with all the non-standard conditions of my basement bathroom, sometimes being creative. Thanks!

Very professional company. Work was done in a timely manner. Very good craftsmanship and were great at communicating and keep me posted on the status of the work as it progressed. Have hired to do additional work for me since this major project.

Chris Marshall of North Star Companies LLC is a true star in his business. He is professional, personable, communicative and much more. We were living 7 hours away and Chris kept us up on everything in great detail even sending pictures to show us the progress. We also appreciated that he kept in mind that we are seniors on a fixed income. Can't say enough good about him. Excellent and highly recommend!

"Chris Marshall and the North Star Companies services have been crucial in the recent purchase and renovation of my older " fixer upper" home here in North Beach MD. He and the North Star Companies took on the very difficult task of completely renovating the interior and crawl space of this older home. I am now all moved in and enjoying my newly remodeled home largely due to the professional and high quality services provided by the North Star Companies. Joe J.
