Great job! Starcom added a sunroof, screened porch and stone patio to our home. All work was professionally completed. Looks great.

Hired Starcom to build an addition to our home, sunroom, screened porch and a flagstone patio. Work was completed in a professional manner. Everything looks grreat.

Starcom is a high quality, professional remodeling company that uses the highest quality materials, and provides excellent workmanship. I contracted Starcom to do a major basement remodel and the outcome was terrific. I highly recommend them for small to large jobs. The shot of my completed club room is attached.

They hire freelance laborers of varying skills to do the work. My experiences with them were entirely unsatisfactory.

I have completed 3 remodels with Starcom Design Build. Their expertise is unmatched. They have remodeled 2 bathrooms and built a large addition on my home. I recommend Starcom to all of my friends and neighbors. If you are nervous about choosing a contractor, Starcom is the only choice!

We had brick steps redone and the subcontractor did a horrendous job. I am still trying to rectify the issue.

Starcom built a 20 x 20 addition onto my home. We wanted to maximize the kitchen/dining/family room area so that it was open concept and better for entertaining. The design was executed perfectly and we absolutely love our new space. If anyone has hesitations about a home remodel, call Starcom! They know what they are doing.

Starcom built a first floor master bedroom/bathroom for us and did a fabulous job! They closely worked with us to design our envisioned layout and maximized the space perfectly. All staff and contractors were professional and courteous. Building materials and workmanship were top quality.

Starcom employees are friendly and professional. They are very knowledgeable on design solutions and create beautiful spaces. They were recommended to me by a friend and they do not disappoint!

Quality craftsmanship, attention to detail. Make your remodeling dreams come true. You wont be disappointed .

I have used Starcom for several home improvement projects over the years and most recently they built a detached 2-car garage for me. They did an outstanding job in completing the project on time and budget. Their workmanship was top-notch. I would highly recommend them!

Starcom Design Build did an outstanding job with our master bathroom remodel. They maximized the layout and included so much storage space. It is so beautiful I wish we would have remodeled sooner. I look forward to the next time I work with Starcom.

The company accepted a job that was considered to small to send anyone out---Starcom sent Joe & son out on a Saturday morning. They did a great job----on time,Professional. Quality of work excellent & a good value to boot! Would definitely use Starcom for any job !

Reliable and upfront with everything. Great to do business with! Very happy with their work.

Very good company. They spend time with you and never complained about the many changes we made.

Starcom recently designed/built/finished a garage and sunroom for us. From start to finish, we had no issues and were impressed with the quality and efficiency of their work. All of their people were friendly, courteous and very professional. Another fact we really appreciated was the open communication, especially in this new way of COVID19 life, with Bob, the owner. He strove to keep us informed and in the loop, and for that we are most grateful. We’d gladly recommend Starcom without hesitation, and would absolutely hire them again for future work if needed.

Starcom gave me the master bathroom of my dreams! I had a basic idea of what I wanted it to look like but the designer executed my vision perfectly. We expanded the old bathroom into a linen closet and it is now double the size. Remodeling can be very stressful but everyone I spoke with was thorough, knowledgeable and respectful. I highly recommend Starcom to anyone looking to remodel.

Starcom Design Build addressed a unique shop ventilation problem with two alternative solutions that were more appropriate and less expensive than what I had initially requested. Their installation followed through with a custom tailored fit that was excellent. I recommend them as a first contact when looking for solutions.

I love my new master suite. Starcom listened to my needs, budget and time restraints. It is rare to find a contractor who is so reliable. 10/10 for Starcom Design Build!

I had some concerns about remodeling but Starcom really did an exceptional job. We consulted with a lot of different contractors in Howard County but they stood out from the crowd. They took our initial ideas and their expertise and created a new kitchen that I am so happy to cook in. There was great communication with the designer and the project manager. I recommend them to all my neighbors!

I have Used Starcom Design on many project they are most professional company i ever deal with and i will contact them again and again

I was really impressed with how professional, friendly and helpful their entire staff was throughout my project. From the very start, I was shown detailed plans and they worked with my budget. There was great communication between myself and the designer & project manager.Starcom Design Build does great remodeling work and they also support the community with the Bethany United Methodist Church Angel Tree Christmas Giving Project. Awesome!I will not hesitate to call Starcom with any future remodeling projects I may have. I would recommend to anyone! 10/10

Starcom Design Build built our 12,000 square foot repair center over 20 years ago & recently after a car hit our building Bobs crew came right out erected temporary walls & did a great job repairing the building. Highly Recommend Starcom Design Build

Very professional team at starcom.Their work was done with quality in mind.Would recommend them to a friend

After talking to friends, we chose Starcom Design for a bathroom remodel. We dont regret this decision at all. From design through completion, we were thoroughly pleased. The staff was friendly, courteous, professional, and helpful. We are truly happy with our new bathroom with a walk-in shower. We were so please, we are having them remodel our livingroom fireplace. Thanks Starcom!

These guys knew exactly what they were doing. We were trying to get our kitchen remodeled to get more space, new cabinets etc. Tim Welsh was HUGE in helping us out. 10/10 would recommend again.

Starcom did a great job with our roof and drywall repairs! Roger was highly professional and very easy to work with. All of the contractors were friendly and efficient. We will definitely be in touch for future home improvement projects!Thanks for the great service!

A year ago, we finished construction on a second floor to our 1000 sq. ft. house in Takoma Park. I spoke to two other design/build firms, who told me it couldnt be done for less than $350,000. Starcom got it done for under $200,000, which was all we could possibly afford. Given that limitation, we are constantly surprised by how luxurious our second floor feels. Even with the modest building materials we could afford, our upstairs is incredibly beautiful, and oh so functional. Jerry Harman designed the space so well. It is clever and lovely and has SO MANY CLOSETS! It really has changed our lives. To be sure, we had some frustrations at the very end of the process, where it seemed like it was taking a long time to wrap up the end of the punch list. But from what I have heard this is normal in any construction project. And, since then, as a few issues have popped up, Starcom has stood by its work and come in without hesitation or question when something needed to be fixed. Theyre good people and they do good work.

I contracted w/Starcom on 02-25-16 to spray foam insulation under my house and add supports. Talked w/ Mr Minor initially.He was professional,knowledgeable and to the point. Once agreed, he helped me to get financing for the project. He and the professional installers were courteous and knowledgeable and were willing to explain what they were going,why it was done and how long it would take. They started the work quickly and after the initial start finished the work over 3 days. TOP NOTCH professionals. I will definitely use them again

Paul Lombardi got me the deck I needed and we were able to get the deal done that day! Next thing I knew I had a new deck and way faster than i thought it take.

The reps were kinda and friendly and helped me with my roofing project incredibly fast. Paul Lombardi knew exactly what he was talking about and helped us great a really great deal.

Starcom Design Build Corp gave us the beautiful home we always dreamed of. The owner, Bob, was extremely helpful and his designs were award winning. In addition, Tim transformed our bathroom into an oasis. All of their staff is very knowledgeable and courteous.The projects we had done on our house were on budget and on time. Two very important aspects when it comes to remodeling. I recommend Starcom to all of my friends and family because I know they will do an exceptional job on any project.

Starcom did a great job with a complex set of renovations which included wall treatments, flooring, stair and railings, closets, doors, painting, etc. This was our third project with Starcom. Each one has been done with great skill and attention to detail and respect for the needs of the client.

Wow! I am so glad I chose to work with Starcom for my master bedroom and bath renovation. I have had some bad experiences with contractors being pushy in the past but this was completely different. I felt as if my wants were being listened to and the designer saw my vision. I wish I would have found them sooner! Thanks Starcom!

Starcom remodeled a half bath into a full bath in our guest room. We had consulted with many contractors, and starcom was the only one that truly responded to our needs, developed a design as per our requirements and did a good quality work. We enjoy the space very much with the comfort of a full bath. The process of inspections and permits prolonged the project by a few weeks, but alls well that ends well. Thank you for your good design and for listening to the customers design requirements.

Set up an appointment for an estimate, Brian didnt show and said, Sorry, I was on a roof and lost track of time. I can understand things happen, so we rescheduled again for the following Sunday. Didnt show again. Sorry, but if you cant even show up for an estimate twice in a row, I have a hard time trusting you with running my home renovation project.

We did a complete kitchen remodel in our 20 year old Western Howard County home. I was nervous about the project because, well, its our home, and we were about to have workers that we didnt know in it. My wife and I met with Bob and Jerry and I knew we were with the right guys. Throughout the whole project I felt at ease and comfortable with them in our home. That was #1 for me. Oh and yes, the finished product is amazing. I love it but more importantly, the Mrs. still says she loves it all the time! Thank you Starcom. We strongly recommend you!

My brother and his wife used Starcom for an addition and I loved the results. I was so excited to start our kitchen project and the designer was very receptive to our ideas. Our new kitchen looks fabulous, all thanks to Starcom. I am so happy with the results. The owner, Bob, was very friendly and knowledgable throughout the whole renovation process. The whole crew was respectful and courteous. They treated our home with care and did very nice work as well. THANK YOU STARCOM!

Jerry Harman helped us build an addition on to our house on the first floor. Our new master suite is beautiful and exactly how me and my wife wanted.

I have used Starcom for three projects involving gutters and facia. All work was performed very professionally. Starcom was very responsive, and did what they said they were going to do. I recommend them.

Great service. Star Com did a great job on the siding. My house looks great.

I can not even put into words my experience with this company.Stunning.Many people have had horrible experiences with this company. They should be avoided at all costs.

These guys were great and Jerry Harman helped get my garage up and exactly how I wanted it!

Tim Welsh was really helpful getting our living room remodeled and ultimately our space is gorgeous now!

Paul Lombardi knew all about how to get our siding fixed and we got an incredible price!

We reached out to Starcom when we were considering adding a second story to our house. Bill Miner and his project partner took a lot of time to carefully look at our house and explain the challenges associated with such a project. We opted to stick with a single level, and had them replace our roof instead. Even on that comparatively small and inexpensive project, Bill spent a lot of time discussing shingle options with us. Most importantly, his team redesigned elements of the roof to divert water away from trouble spots -- solving our persistent leak. We will definitely consider Starcom for future home projects.

Tim Welsh was experienced, timely and incredibly knowledgeable and helped us with our new kitchen!

I had a second story deck installed by Starcom. Roger Greenleaf managed the project. I am happy with the finished product and would use them again in the future.

Bob (the owner) was so helpful and our representative Jerry knew exactly how to create the perfect sunroom!

Not my house being worked on, but these contractors are disgusting. Townhouse communities are tough on space, I get it, but this is horrid. The roofers used no tarps (everyone here is getting their roof done, all contractors except this one I have seen used tarps.) They have spread their materials out over multiple (3 to 4) yards on multiple occasions and have left their food (I dont want rats, do you?), soda cans and other scrap trash behind, again in multiple yards. Nails everywhere, on my deck, porch, yard. Just disgusting. Most contractors I have seen clean up as they go, not these guys. And why does no company realize parking spots are numbered for a reason. Go to the visitor spots!

I have read every review on google and BBB and here is my assessment of Starcom. Thus far, there were several (not many) regarding higher pricing, late calls, missed appointments, telemarketing, and so on. Lets be truth to ourselves. If we can save a lot of money, we do it ourselves, right? Because our lives are busy and lack professional know how, we hire the expertise. I am a former architect/business owner and I have worked in construction throughout my younger days and I had to get out because of several factors: my body and the profitability. Regarding my body is no brainer; however, profitability was the main issue. In construction, overhead is huge and we must take that into consideration! I will elaborate on that later.Starcom worked on our commercial building and did a wonderful job. Yes, being from the construction field, I saw some things I could have done better...but that was me. Overall, I was extremely satisfied. Due to personal circumstances and NOT money either, I had to prolong a 2 month job into a year. Starcom was very accommodating. If I had dealt with another company, they might have taken my deposit and ran off with it. I remember a construction company who under balled us to do the roof and cost~ed us $25,000 more. See~ the nature of construction business is volatile. Therefore, know who you are dealing with & how long they have been in business. If a telemarketer calls, just kindly call Starcom about the unwanted calls. If calls were not made or forgotten, give a little understanding. Yes~ its upsetting but try to work it out. The thoughtfulness will come back 10 folds. It certainly did with me.In regards to price quotation, I found Starcom on the medium to medium/high range. They werent the cheapest and I expected so because of their reputation. They were once ranked nationally in the remodeling sector. Throughout the project, there were several unexpected price adjustments and increases but that is the nature of beast. Prior to a job, you are quoted for what you want done and can see. Contractor cannot quote you for finding asbestos during a project and have the contractor eat the costs. Therefore, word of caution, give yourself about 15%-20% wiggle room for unwanted and/or unexpected expenses. Be a wise consumer and be upfront with the contractor. Tell them you cannot exceed a certain defined budget.Now~ as promised, this is where i like to discuss profitability. See~ construction business is a complicated animal and it is very difficult to make it work. That is why construction companies close so many doors and it is the #1 ranked business in the nation to defraud consumers. Do your homework. Florida leads the pack from what I have last researched.As you might have heard and might of noticed in some of the reviews, there are those who knows the price of everything but knows the value of nothing. Todays labor cost is extremely high. Say~ You have an employee, who you pay, $25/hr, and the employer has to match his Federal Tax, not to mention State, workman’s compensation, Business/Liability insurance, health insurance, property tax, depreciation, and so on... You have very little left at the end of the day. Use common sense about how a contractor charges you. Always remember not to get too crazy about what you can gain for what you might lose. Finding a good contractor is about finding the right balance. Contractors want to make you happy.In closing, I like to make this remark. Starcom did the work that was expected and did a great job. The cost of the project was perfectly aligned with the scope of the work. I even asked for some extras that were not in the contract and they did it, though I did ask politely and nicely. All in all, I slept peacefully at night knowing I was getting what I asked for. I hope this review helped those who are considering Starcom. Have a wonderful day!

Months ago, my boyfriend and I went on the hunt to find the perfect company to remodel our 30 year old kitchen. Upon searching through countless reviews and sites, we thought we had finally found the perfect one, StarCom, but we were sadly mistaken.Our first interaction with our salesman, Mike, seemed ideal as he really knew his stuff! We discussed adding cabinets, countertops and finding the perfect spot for our kegerator (as we love to entertain!). They led us to believe that they could give us the best price & service for everything that we wanted with a smile and friendly demeanor. Later, we found out they only fed us what we wanted to hear.Weeks went by after we signed the contract with Mike, took out a loan before any communication. We were then contacted by the project manager, Don, during the weekend and were told that they were be starting demolition that Monday. With such little notice, this forced us to have to move our whole kitchen into our living room and making our main floor basically unlivable. When asking about the delay in contact, they informed us that the salesman was no longer with the company.Demolition was completed very quickly. I work nights, so I am home during the day when they were working on the kitchen. There were 2 men, Donny and I didn’t get the younger ones name! I made small talk with them in passing but was stuck keeping the dogs upstairs as our bottom floor was now in disarray. After about a week of having the same 2 men working on my house of whom I’ve become comfortable with, I started receiving inappropriate Facebook messages from Donny. This now made me very uncomfortable with allowing them back in my house while home alone. I forwarded these messages to the project manager, Don, who immediately contacted Donny’s boss, Travis. I received numerous apologies from of them and was informed that Donny was fired the previous day for “drinking on the job.”After that fiasco, we then came to the next hurdle…our original plans were “not on their blueprints” and “not possible”, so our kegerator will no longer have a home in our kitchen as planned. We were sold on this project as they promised that all of our requests were going to be met, this being the biggest. Trying to just get this project done to get back on with our lives, we requested cabinets where the blank space in the plans are…their response was $500 more dollars.This was the last straw and I reached out to the owner Bob to express my disappointments and frustrations with the project. I left a voicemail with his secretary to please call me. Bob however, “didn’t have the time in his schedule to speak with us.” Don, the project manager, did the right thing and ordered us the cabinets free of charge after this happened.We have been debating on pulling the plug on this renovation since the first week of demolition and the only reason we did not was because of the amazing attention Don gave to us. He was professional, understanding and most of all attentive and could be reached by phone or text any time. Other than Don, I do not recommend StarCom to anyone looking remodeling!

Hired them to restore my handicapped brothers house. One of the worst mistakes I have ever made trusting Starcom. Work quality 4/10.Honesty especially from the the head of the company concerning many very important things zip. Some of the staff is ok. I can honestly say they took advantage of my family all the way around. Starcom sent me an email the other day I assume by accident. The email was asking customers to leave a good review with BBB. The one that left the best review won a 50 dollar gift card.Bribing customers for reviews to me is very shabby.

If I could give zero stars I would. Contacted them for a roof estimate because of my aging roof. A person named Roger came out. Claimed to be the owner. Not exactly professional with shorts, a tshirt and a giant beard and quoted me a price that was ridiculously expensive. When I said no he got extremely rude. Would NEVER use this company based on the way he acted.

They stole our money. We met with Bob, then saved for two years for the investment. We contacted Bob again and gave him the down payment to start the plans. Bob was on vacation and scheduled Jerry to meet with us. Jerry forgot, or so it seemed, and I’m pretty sure he created the — what he called plans— minutes before we arrived. They were not plans at all, but more like something from a free online construction app. No dimensions nothing to scale, rooms with no entry ways and roof lines that connected to impossible exterior wall representations. Crazy impossible angles. (Hey Bob— did you eve even review Jerry’s work?). When I tried to contact Bob and Jerry in follow up Jerry told me that any additional drawings or correspondence and work would be billed at an hourly rate. Our $2000.00 bought us nothing of use, only fear that any further correspondence would result in a bill and / or a law suit. So disappointed — and was astounded at the lack of conscience in ripping us off so badly. One star is too much. Should be STAR-CON.

No refund after disturbing asbestos tiles without approval. paid over 10k. they never ordered flooring we paid for flooring. flooring company emailed us AFTER starcom had been paid deposits and 1400 for flooring upgrade and started work that they would not be ordering flooring for a quite some time. left debris around, project managers woudlnt reply to us. after we told them to stop work, they showed up to pressure us at our house. very scary indeed.,

We contracted with Starcom on April 28, 2016 to build a front portico with stone porch and stone sidewalk for $29,000. A deposit of $9500 was paid. Starcom decided to opt out of the contract, and has not returned our $9500 deposit.Most surprising is the “OPT OUT PROVISION” of the contract we signed (on page 4). “Either Starcom or the Owner can opt out of the Contract at any time, upon written notice, at which time Starcom will invoice the Owner for final payment of all amounts due and owing for labor performed and materials then delivered, bought or allocated and/or any obligation incurred by Starcom in the normal execution of the Contract, including a portion of project profit and overhead costs.”In other words Starcom can decide for any reason to avoid starting any construction, then charge us an amount they determine. In our case, the evidence shows that they decided that they underestimated their contract quote, and asked for an additional $4600 from us. We refused to pay more since we made no changes whatsoever to the contract details and didn’t believe we should pay for Starcom’s mistake. So we now have no portico/sidewalk and lost $9500. Here are some details:We became increasingly concerned as work on the project still had not started. Three times over the course of 2 months we were sent incorrect drawings for the contracted project; the stone mason and project manager Derek had a version of the drawings we had never seen, including a smaller sidewalk, no demo of existing sidewalk and shallower footing than originally contracted. These “mistakes” were apparently an attempt to reduce Starcom’s cost. Nevertheless, with each drawing mistake and delay, the Starcom salesman, Scott apologized, took ownership, and assured us “It’s a matter of trust” that he would resolve the problems and deliver the portico and stone sidewalk as we had originally contracted. Although we really wanted to get the project completed, we had offered to Scott that we would consider releasing Starcom’s contractual obligations if they would refund our $9500 deposit (if Starcom didn’t wanted to perform the work for any reason). However, Scott assured us that Starcom wanted to complete the contract.After a discussion about the faulty drawings, Derek and Scott both called us the next day to apologize for the actions of the owner (Bob), and warn us that Bob wanted to opt out of the contract. A few days later, the fourth set of corrected drawings were sent to us by Bob. The new drawings were sufficiently correct (included original contract details, nothing more). We immediately responded with our approval of the drawings and we were looking forward to starting work. Less than 24 hours later we received an email from the owner stating that they were “opting out” of the contract. Moreover, since we had approved the drawings, he would be keeping $2900 of our $9500 deposit if we agreed to release Starcom from its contractual obligations. We refused and suggested that Starcom had the reasonable options to either complete the contract work, or return our $9500 deposit.In retrospect it seemed like a continuing deception to charge us more for the original contract work, and/or reduce Starcom’s cost by reducing the masonry work with modified faulty drawings, and delaying the project. However, sending us corrected drawings after we were told that owner Bob decided to opt out of the contract, and luring us into approving those drawings with a false implication to start work on the project, was deceptive since Starcom was not providing these services in good faith.Update: August 16, 2018As you can see by the response from this company, 2 years later and they are still spinning the truth and making excuses! Read on, there are more than enough negative reviews to show they are a seriously poorly operated company not to be trusted.

I have used many contractors and there is no one like Starcom they have a great team. I would recommend them for any home improvement needs.

Called me 4x in 2 days telemarketing for the services they provide. I asked to be removed from this list. Do not call customers who do not give you their phone number inquiring about your services. Bad business

This company uses robo-call telemarketing tactics in violation of the do-not-call registry. Dont use their services.

Having had multiple contractors in my home over the years, it was a pleasure to deal with Bob at Starcom.

Avoid !!!
