“We are so grateful that we chose the Lodestar team over the other contractors for our kitchen remodel.
Their communication and attention to detail far exceeded our expectations. The entire process from conception to final billings was professional and attentive to our specific needs.
Jason, Jon, Ethan, and Mellisa were amazing to work with. Monica and I thank you all!"
The Lodestar team did an incredible job! Hired them to do a basement renovation and couldn’t be happier with the result!
They consistently went above and beyond. Will definitely be reaching out for any future projects!
