Worked with us?

We used Nordstar builders to design and build our new house. Very easy to work with and great quality work. Jeremy and his staff were very helpful with any changes made and very responsive. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to build a new quality home.

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

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.

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 !!!!
