Bill handled everything from the design of the shed right through the finished product. He also worked with the town's bureaucracy to revise designs so that everything was approved and permitted. The final product is a very well built shed that matches my house and met my goals for the project. His crew was great and kept me informed on the progress of the project. My equipment is secure and I'm saving a lot of money that used to go to renting storage lockers. I'm very pleased with the work that was done.

Description of Work
A free standing shed was built in in my backyard to store equipment as well as personal items. It needed to be secure, safe from the elements, and the design included a covered area on the side that I can use to park a lawn tractor. It looks like a small house and matches my existing house.

We had an excellent experience with Bill and his crew. They were all friendly and knowledgeable. They showed up on time every time. With lumber prices skyrocketing, they found a way to use other materials that were better and lower-priced.

Bill and his entire crew were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish! I can't imagine any other contractor who would have devoted themselves more to their client in every way possible from idea stage, to design, to final execution of our project than Bill and the Amazing Tallented All Star Team! Their woodworking, staining, painting, and masonry techniques and skills prove second to none! They were absolutely fantastic and couldn't do more to constantly, time and time again, put our minds at ease, assuring us that our living room was going to turn out great; and wow, did it!! We honestly can't possibly thank them enough for their incredible effort and, more than anything, their painstaking hard-work ethic of wanting to do all in their power to get whatever they happened to be working on at the moment, making our living room the very best it could be! When going into such a project, you always worry about making the right call when hiring a contractor, and then about making the correct decisions once you find one; and wow, did we strike gold! We couldn’t be any happier and pleased with Bill and the entire All Star Team and will absolutely recommend them to anyone and everyone! Their guidance and knowledge in what they do is second to none! Thank you so much, Bill, and your exceptional All Star Team, for making our renovation experience so easy and our future enjoyment so special in our newly decorated beautiful living room.

Working with All-Star Contractors was easy and pleasant from the first meeting. Bill was honest and open about the entire process. From providing feedback to what work needs to be done, how it should be done, providing options and making sure that what was done is up to his standard and that we would do at his own home. I am his smallest job he was working on and he still made time to stop by the job site every day his employee was there, returned texts/calls in a timely fashion and never made me feel that I was not an important client.

We are extremely pleased with the great job Bill and his crew did in adding on to our existing dining room and pub room addition. We were kept informed Every step of the way and Bill had every worker there on time and it flowed beautifully. That’s an art! Everyone worked well together and they were very neat. We have finished the work and we couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. We have received so many compliments on our rooms. I highly recommend All Star of HC.

I have known Bill since 2005. At that time he built an addition of a bedroom suite and bathroom to our new home. Since then he has answered our calls for projects small and large. Among the things he and his crews have done are a kitchen remodel, new flooring, master bedroom suite addition, deck, siding, finished the basement, and a garage with a 2 story building attached with the first floor a dance studio and upstairs a game room. Bill is always responsive and listens to what the customer wants. He has always provided me with top notch service.

All Star started to work on the floor immediately. The team of crafts persons were very personable and courteous. They worked confidently and incredibly fast, which made me feel at ease. I felt a level of comfort and trust with the team that allowed me to leave the house unattended while they worked. I was surprised to see that they also fixed joists in other parts of the house that they felt were in need of repair. In addition they built a closet, spackled and taped the bedroom walls. They even painted the entire room, leaving it in brand new looking condition. All of these extras came surprisingly at no additional charge. Such service speaks to a level of pride and commitment All Star has to making a job look spectacular and beyond any intended expectations. All Star finished the project ahead of schedule and within budget.
Description of Work
All Star Residential General Contractors came highly recommended to me, as I needed to have my entire bedroom floor replaced, including all the joists. During the assessment meeting with the manager (Bill Embley), informed me in detail, what needed to be done and why. Seeing the urgent and critical nature of the project, Bill made adjustments to his work schedule to fit the job in.

Finally we found a contractor (All Star Residential General Contractors) who had innovative solutions to our renovation needs. All Star's owner, Bill Embley approached the bathroom projects as a challenge rather than a nuisance. He and his crew Cisco and Derek worked together to solve any design obstacles. One such obstacle was the installation of an extra-large bathtub not intended for a manufactured home. All Star was able to make custom modification to the tub’s support foundation, that allowed it to fit beautifully in a space that other contractors said was impossible. The All Star team was very polite and respectful and were a pleasure to be around. Bill the owner was there every day to ensure proper design execution. He also included extras at no additional costs. The entire team seemed trust worthy and delivered excellent results, which were far beyond our expectations. We are delighted with our new bathrooms and at the fair price we paid for the work. We recommend using All Star Residential General Contractors, as we would not hesitate hiring again.
Description of Work
We recently purchased a manufactured home and needed certain replacements and modifications made to 2 bathrooms. Finding someone to perform these modifications was harder than we anticipated. Most of the contractors who assessed the work, indicated that because the working spaces were that of a manufactured home, our design options would be limited. Most emphasized why they couldn't do the work, rather than provide creative alternative design strategies.

I’ve known Bill for 12 years and in that time he has done numerous projects for me. These range anywhere from a full kitchen remodel to multiple additions to the house. He recently laid down new flooring and did all the painting for a remodel. For all projects he is quick and efficient and takes his time to listen to his customer’s needs. I would highly recommend Bill and All Star Residential for any home projects or repairs that you need done.

Description of Work
They built a shed - no problems so I contracted with them to build a new bathroom in my basement and install a new vanity, toilet and retile my master bath. It was an awful experience. From calling me last minute to say I needed to have my tile picked because they were starting the next day to bringing a vanity that was a floor model from a vendor that didn't meet the specs of what I gave him when I booked the job - then telling me I had to pay for the modifications made. The new counter top was scratched when it was installed and he wouldn't address the issue - I had to call the manufacturer directly. What the owner told me contradicted what the workers told me. A project that was supposed to take 3 weeks took more than three months. It was a nightmare working with the contractor and I would warn anyone considering him or any of the many names he goes by to find someone else to do the work.

The work was done well by his subcontractor and he underpaid him. He said he'd do the work for the insurance money that I received $1.700, but tried to bill me for the amount of the insurance before the $1,000 deductible $2,700 way over the cost of doing the work. He lied all the way through the estimate and is not trust worthy. Since i signed the contract taking his verbal word of doing it for the insurance amount i received, I had no legal recourse. He eventually took me for $500. My fault for trusting this man. Don't have anything to do with him. Jerry Nowak, Flemington, NJ

Service Provider Response
I was invited to [member name removed]'s residence to give an insurance estimate, because I had worked for him and his neighbors with excellent reviews that were published testimonials preveously.He had a settlement from his insurance co. for $2,700.00 to cover damages.I agreed in a written contract to do the work listed in the settlement for the exact amount in the claim even though I thought it was a very low estimate for quite a lot of work.We firmlyagreed IN WRITING to do the work for $2,700.00(I still have a copy).He aproaved the quallity of the workmanship"great job".I went to collect my final payment iof $1,000.00 and he said he was only paying $500.00 because he had to pay the insurance co. $1,000.00.I objected showing him our contract he still only paid the $500.I explained that the insurance co. estimated the cost of repairs for $2,700 because thats the cost to fix it.Insurance is to cover a loss and if he paid a higher premium it would have covered the whole amount.And [member name removed] is ruining our companies reputation over this ridiculous accusation that he was cheated ,when it was me that surely got the shaft! now, if someone reading his review ,doesn't read my reply its me the gets ripped off,and this is my livelyhood!Thanks everyone!Jeanne M.

Regarding All Star Construction of Hunterdon County, NJ I requested a proposal from All Star Construction in the summer of 2013 for both interior renovations and for several repair jobs on our property from Superstorm Sandy. When I received the proposal, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonable the first bid was, and then I was even more impressed at their payment terms and the way the owner worked with us to make sure the project met both our and their budgets. The quality of the work was excellent in all areas and they actually overachieved both my husband and my expectations. They went out of their way to be congenial, professional and they were conscientious of how they left the job site in the evenings, on the weekends and particularly when the jobs were completed. I would give them five stars.

ALL-STAR CONTACTORS H. C.. was highly recommended by a relative who had just completed a multi phase complete home renovation. My first project was an addition for much needed space due to local flooding. Bill came over and designed a multi-use room elevated on piers for future flood protection. I was impresssed with the honest and friendly crew Bill assigned to the project. the design worked perfectly, the price was within budget and the quality was excellent. A year later saw us pumping water for the basement with one of the worse floods ever. all of our precautions on our basement wasn't enough but Bill's elevated addition was untouched,I called Bill and he promptly came out to price out the new damage, well the next crew assigned to us were better than the first. if you want a dependable,honest contractor , with great design ideas and excellent craftmanship call Bill at ALL-STAR CONTRACTORS H.C.
