Bernie Davis Google review · August 2026

Jeremy and his crew do Excellent work. He has an a great eye for aesthetics. Highly recommend him.

Chris Moore Google review · June 2026

Jeremy did a great job for me on a really tough project. He did a complete redo of a house I bought that was in really poor shape. It turned out great. He started with the foundation and basically rebuilt the entire house. He was easy to work with and stayed in constant communication throughout the project. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

Stephen Love Google review · December 2023

We had reached out to many local contractors around the area with very few even willing to answer the phone. Jeremy actually did answer and was very helpful and responsive. We discuss the building of our little cottage and decided to move forward on the project with him as no others took the time to call us back. Well a few months later and I’m so grateful the “Others” never did because Nordstar Builders are great!!! Thank you guys for bringing our project to fruition we love it !!!!
