All Star Construction Inc

We are continuing on with the planning and initiation of a rebuild on a Garage, very professional and punctual. Responsive with every twist and turn of the process.

Larry came out to see what needed to be done. We met, I explained what needed to be done he made a few suggestions and it all looked like we were going to work great together, my husband and my mother were there he seemed like a very nice guy. He took measurements and said he would get back to me within a week. Well, that week came and went and nothing. I just move here from Chicago so we are plenty busy unpacking and getting some other things done that I did not lose sleep about it, we had another two guys coming to give us bids. I got a survey on how well they performed on the job? by now it's almost a month since Larry was here so in my survey I said, well I can't really give you any feedback, I never got the quote, I have not decided on a builder so if you care to still be consider, this would be the time to submit your bid. A few hours later Larry called and said he needed to talk to me, in a kinda worried/demanding tone. I called back got voice mail, he called back I was not available, I called him I got voice mail, so left him a message to leave me a detailed message on what happened and why I have not received a bid. He never called back. So that is my experience with All-Star. I am using somebody else.

Dennis Chernov was the project manager who represented All Star for the bid on my project. Dennis was very knowledgeable and professional during the entire process. He was on time for our meeting to go through my condo, and made several helpful suggestions as I explained all the work I needed done (bathroom and kitchen remodeling, sheetrock repairs, new flooring and painting throughout the condo.) Dennis provided his detailed bid back to me very promptly, and he responded quickly to my phone calls and e-mails when I had questions or needed clarifications on certain items. Even though I did not choose them, All Star's bid was very reasonable and professional, and I would not hesitate to ask them to bid again on any future projects I may have, or to use them to do a project.

Originally, I sent them an email and did not get a reply. I waited a week and called the company. A date and time was set to have Glen come to look at the project. Still waiting for that bid three weeks after Glen came to view and talk with me about my project. I called to ask about the bid and left a message. Waiting for that call to be returned as well.

Called All Star Construction to bid our upcoming remodel. Tim came out to inspect the house. He was nice the first visit. When it came time to bring me the bid, he didn't want to meet with me, he wanted to meet with my husband. My husband usually works late, he is a commercial service technician and does a lot of after hours work. So it was impossible to nail down a time for him to meet with Tim. He couldn't understand why Tim couldn't just give me the bid. But Tim tried week after week to schedule to catch my husband home. Tim refused to just give me the bid. He finally exhausted trying to get the "man of the house" and came to give me the bid. But he didn't really give it to me. He pulled out his paperwork and told me he is not giving me the bid on paper unless we use only All Star Construction and sign a contract. He wouldn't show it to me either, I did get a glance of the drawings, that's it. Tim made me write everything down for the proposal. Then he gave me the total price. He priced himself out of the job, his was the highest bid at $54k, and he didn't even include everything that needed to be done, that was extra or they didn't do that particular part of the remodel. Our next highest bid was $51k and that company went through every nook and cranny of the house that needed to be done, that bid was for everything to remodel the whole house. We are not remodeling the whole house, but quite a bit of it. Tim didn't give the bid for all that I asked for. For the scope of work that needs to be done, the range I've seen from all the bids is $30k for standard materials up to $40k for premium materials. We have a small house. All Star Construction called me later to follow up, I told the lady on the phone about Tim and his behavior. She asked me if the owner can call me later. I told her sure. The owner never called. We put the remodel on the back burner for a bit. We are about to start our remodel next month in September.

We contacted the company by phone and an appointment was made within days of the call. Bob Maddy came out to the house to discuss the job with us. He then provided a plan and an estimate for the construction of the porte-cochere. The estimate was provided at no cost.

They were the first people I called and were phenomenal. The guy who came out listened to what I said and made practical suggestions. He didn't try to up sell me and didn't talk me anything I didn't want to do. He paid attentions to exactly what I said and the quote that he gave me was straight up without conditions. He was wonderful. He got here when he said he was going to and when he was going to be late he called and apologized to me and requested me to reschedule.

Very professional crews, prompt and polite. I could not have asked for a better experience!

I requested a quote and was told they only do structural add-ons. They did reffer me to another contractor that they have used and know, instead of just saying no. Thank you.

The estimate was for $29000. I did not go with them because they were a little bit pricey. He was a real nice man and I like everything about them except the price. I think he was very professional but he took a while to get back to me.

By using a contractor, we understood that we would be paying up to a third for contractor services, but we wanted all the essential elements of our house replaced and upgraded by a professional construction firm so we could enter retirement without concern of future problems or, if necessary be able to seek recourse for problems from a reputable organization. All the work was done ahead of schedule. All the work was professionally and skillfully done. Crews were efficient and courteous. Work areas were consistently managed and kept clean. I wish to thank, especially, All Starr Construction's representative, Mr. Barney Mejia. He was thorough, helpful, extremely courteous, and up front with all work and associated costs for work that had to be performed. He is an excellent communicator, expertly knowledgeable, and was daily involved with the projects at hand, frequenting the site and regularly on the phone with me to be sure that we were apprised of schedules and any changes to the work. Over many years I have heard the All Starr Construction local radio ad state, "Make the house you have - - the home you want." That's what we wanted, and that's what we got.

Guy that ran my job, Bob, was great! Always easy to contact. Towards the end of the job Hurricane Ike hit. Bob made sure, before landfall, that materials outside were secured. Four years later, I can say I got a great job for a fair price.

The estimates have been good, better than the others. Barney has been punctual. He listened patiently ane got the drawings and job onto paper correctly

Didn't even get passed the estimate stage.

David (their rep.) did what he said from start to finish. I walked into the project knowing what I was getting for their quote. Quality work all done on time and for the price originally quoted.

They were really professional and straight forward. I went with someone else that had a better price and I just hit it off better with.

I first met with Larry, my All Star consultant in Nov of 2011. He took our initial plans and developed a construction timeline with costs outlined in the time table. After comparing the All Star bid to two other companies we decided that their bid made the most sense. We signed the contract on January 6, waited three weeks for HOA approval of the designs, and broke ground on Feb 1, 2012. The project was completed the first week in March, right on schedule. It was important to us to complete construction prior to Spring Break and the All Star team met the deadline with no problem.

Once we found a house, we decided not to go through with the project. However, they showed up when they said they would and gave me a verbal estimate and faxed a written one, as well.

I have decided not to do the project. So, I did not use them. Their quote was in line with everybody else. All the quotes came in between $65,000 and $67,000. The way my garage is structured the project would have been a big hassle. I would have had to start from the scratch. The guy seemed extremely honest. I would have used him if I was going ahead with the project. In fact, he offered more services than many other contractors. For example, he had a computer programer, who could actually do the blueprints. The service was free, which would be included in the cost of remodel. No other company had that service. The service would have cost me $3,000 otherwise. I have a friend, who also used him and was very happy with him. Once I decided not to do the work, he still took it up on him to call up after a couple of weeks to check if I was still interested in the work. The other contractors did not bother to do that. So, he took the initiative to followup. I would recommend this company and I would use them in the future.

The owner came out, and repaired my chimney. He stands behind his work, and this is company with real integrity. He was very patient with me, and very nice. He is a real pleasure to work with.

I thought they were quite professional.

The quote was too high. They were one of the highest. The price was the only thing that stood out to me. It was a bit shocking. I would not consider using them in the future.

We didn't use them because the insurance company said that it wasn't hurricane damage. They seemed to be very efficient. The guy came out and basically told us that he looked at the damage and that they would offer us a discount equivalent to our deductible off insurance. They had a person to go up with the insurance company, which was a good idea. We didn't talk to them after that, though. They took off after that. They had showed up unsolicited. They came out on time. However, they never called us back after the insurance company refused the claim. I will not call this company again in the future.

They did a very good job. I didn't get a lot of quotes, but I thought it was reasonable.

The person who came was very nice, and the quote was also pretty OK. Their estimate was a little higher than the other ones I got, and so, I decided to go with others. They were responsive and punctual.
