"Well. The work took longer than I expected but was also more complicated. The previous owners of the house had attached their very heavy microwave oven to the cabinets on either side without doing any reinforcing. So, when we had our new roof put on a little bit prior, apparently it knocked some things loose. The handyman had to first figure out what exactly happened and then was able to build things up so that the microwave and the cabinets were properly supported"
"We have used The North Star Companies for several jobs in the past, with the most recent being the largest. We hired them do a complete renovation of our home in Severn. The job grew larger as demo began and turned into a job requiring the rebuild of exterior walls, demo of concrete slabs - basically the house had to be rebuilt from the ground up. All new plumbing, electric, framing, windows, siding, roof, etc. I have known Chris for 20+ years and was confident that our forever home would be solid and done right. We had a few hiccups throughout the process - as this was done during Covid, so there were supply issues, delays and so forth, but Chris and his guys did an amazing job. We couldn't be happier and are continuously getting compliments on our beautiful home. Chris has been and will continue to be our go-to for any construction needs for us and our family and friends."

Thank you VKB for your care and dedication you took to improve our quality of living in our home."
"We had Top Remodeling handle our home addition, and they did an excellent job. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their attention to detail was impressive. The additional space seamlessly blends with our existing home and has added tremendous value."
"Contractor did excellent work. Asked before any needed change was done. Over the several days it took to complete re-decking the surface and replacing the stairs , when finished for the day he removed all of the debris from each day so none was accumulated in the yard."
"Vazquez and his son arrived on time and I was very impressed with the professional service. They assembled a bed for me in a little
Over a hour. Which saved me at least 3 hours of my day since I’ve assembled similar beds at home. I will def. use them again."
