We just had a deck built around our oval shaped pool by Blue Star Carpentry. Words cannot convey how happy we are with not only the finished product, but also the actual construction process and the pre-contract and design process spearheaded by the owner, Kevin. Kevin came to our house and gave us an estimate. We had four other deck builders/contractors also give us estimates. Kevin's estimate was the second highest out of the five and we really wanted him to build our deck due to his knowledge and expertise in deck building, which was very evident when he came over. We spoke to Kevin about the estimate, made a few minor changes and Kevin's estimate came down to what we wanted to spend. He also gave us key ideas which ultimately made a major difference in the end product, for instance, we only wanted 2 feet around the walking sections of the deck, but Kevin explained to us that 3 feet is much better because it gives you that extra walk around space. Well, when the deck was done we were so grateful to him that he, in a very polite way, pushed for the 3 feet. As far as the actual deck building, we have never seen a "team" like Blue Star Carpentry's. We've had a dormer built and a family room built by reputable contractors, but Kevin and his company were by far the most skilled and professional. The entire team, each one of them, operated together as a well-oiled machine. They came two days before the original start date, of course after clearing that with us, and they were here for five straight days getting the job done. They showed up each morning, on time, and each man on the 5 - 7 man team worked every day, they worked very hard, and they each knew exactly what to do when. And the cleanup was amazing. Our yard was spotless without the tiniest bit of debris left behind. We didn't find so much as an errant nail! The finished product is simply breath-taking. We knew we would be satisfied, but we are totally in awe and look in our yard daily in amazement at the incredibly beautiful project Kevin and his team produced for us. Yes, a lot of praise here, but it is in NO way exaggerated. Our yard is now a resort and an oasis and we look forward to enjoying it daily as the weather warms up. As far as we are concerned, you cannot go wrong outing your project in Kevin and his crew's very capable and very talented hands. read more

I first need to disclose that I rarely if ever review companies. Secondly, I usually have a sore spot for contractors. He and his crew did two jobs for us. One in the spring to remove my old backyard deck and rebuild a new TREX deck and a beautiful pergola (replacing on old one) on our front porch into a paver then after Labor day we needed lighting/timers (also TREX) for our back deck. Outstanding job on both. My sore spot for contractors are highlights for these guys: 1. Communication. Outstanding. From day 1 he always got back to us within a day or so on anything. Contract, Pricing, Time Scheduling, General Questions. 2. Promptness. Terrific. The crew was there each day at 8AM and left around 5PM (or later on a day or two). I've never seen a crew that communicated with the customer as well as these guys. While maintaining social distancing and masks any questions were clear concise. We appreciated asking whether we needed items under the old deck. 3. Solid Work. Our deck is solid. All of the support beams installed properly no lose parts. 4. Clean up. Impeccable. They got rid of everything they said they would. No lingering screws or nails on the property or debris of any kind. 5. After-the-fact special smaller project. You would think after the big job was complete and we paid the balance on the project, that if we asked to layer in lighting and a timer project a few months down the road, that it would be a problem. Not so, Kevin got back to me (again) within a day and the work was done promptly a day or two later by one of his knowledgeable staff members Willie. I can honestly say they were not the cheapest, but they were not the most expensive either. Good quality work for a fair price. Thank you. read more

I am giving Blue Star Carpentry 5 stars but I wish I could them 10. I am writing this review for more than one of the many reasons why I highly recommend Kevin and his team. First Kevin installed a deck for me over 9 years ago and not only was he professional but he kept to his time line and he and his team were very professional. He did such an amazing job that I recommend my mom use him, which she did. Fast forward 8 years and my mom had some trouble with the material and was trying to have it resolved with the manufacturer. There were lost invoices (over 8 years old), Kevin scoured his files and found my moms invoice in his archive folder. Then after hearing about what the manufacturer offered, Kevin thought it did not sound right. Kevin took the time out to call the manufacturer and worked things out that she would get a brand new deck, installed, with updated new product. Kevin went above and beyond to help a senior when others would have just walked away. I am grateful that our paths have crossed and we found such a great company with Kevin and Blue Star Carpentry, I would HIGHLY recommend them. read more

Words cannot adequately describe how thrilled we are that we chose Kevin and his team of master craftsmen to construct our TREX deck. From the moment that we met Kevin we knew that he was very professional and knew everything that needs to be known about deck construction. He has a winning personality and makes you feel that he will take care of everything, and we saw that we should just sit back and enjoy the ride. Mike and his superb team of professionals arrived when they told us that they would, and everyday the progression went seamlessly without a hitch until the project was completed as promised. Mike and his team are neat, and precise in their craftsmanship and are a pleasure to observe. The deck is now completed and perfect in every way. Kevin is always reachable and bends over backwards to make his customers happy and satisfied. If you are contemplating building a deck I suggest that you contact Kevin and I guarantee that you will be as thrilled as we are read more

Kevin came to give me an estimate, and I was immediately impressed. He knew his products. He brought samples of his products, and he was patient with my questions. Kevin had a great sense of humor and made the whole process fun and relaxing. He was upfront and honest. His quote was reasonable and the materials were excellent. The contract was explicit and clear. What a pleasure! The craftsmen were amazing! They were professional, patient, and kind. My neighbors are raving about their professionalism and craftsmanship. The finish products (deck and patio) are beautiful. I couldn't be happier. In this crazy world...Kevin and his men demonstrate honesty and pride in a job well done. Thank you for everything! read more

BlueStar just completed a deck in my backyard connecting to my kitchen 4 feet off the ground. Spectacular results using Trex materials. Before any home improvement project, I research endlessly and talk to a number of contractors. Selected BlueStar for the job because they came out on top in every dimension. Did exactly what we contracted and exceeded expectations. Easy to work with, listened to client, provided suggestions and worked with my Village to gain building dept. final certification. Top job quality, competitive, responsive, approachable/respectful working crew and flexible. I'm very demanding in terms project details and can easily say - use this company and you will not be disappointed. read more

Diligent, meticulous, and knowledgeable is how we describe our experience with Kevin and his team at BlueStar Carpentry. We had several bids for the work on our balcony deck. Kevin's was not the highest or lowest, but he listened intently to what we wanted and needed. Then with Kevin's direction, Mike, Vinny and Kevin beautifully rebuilt our balcony...it was just what we envisioned. We love the finished product and are thankful we chose Kevin and his professional team. We highly recommend them and are looking forward to working with BlueStar Carpentry again in the near future. read more

i am so grateful to Kevin. In a prior post, I explained that I needed waterproofing work performed on the foundation under the deck that Kevin constructed last fall. In order for the work to be performed a few of the deck boards needed to be removed. I reached out to Kevin for help. He told me not to worry, and he will take care of it. He kept his word and had one of his staff perform the necessary work. I can't thank him enough. By a wide margin, he has been the most professional and honest person I have dealt with in the over47 years I have lived in the house. Thank you Kevin read more

I want to thank Kevin and the crew at Blue Star for a 2nd job well done! They do wonderful work. Mom's basement came out Beautiful, thanks. to Richie and Nick.

I will recommend and call them 1st for my next project. It was a pleasure working with each and everyone of you. Thank You. Christina M read more

Kevin at Blue Star Carpentry installed a deck for me 8 years ago. Kevin and his crew were professional, they did a wonderful job. Recently I had a problem with the materials that were installed and I contacted Blue Star. Kevin was able to contact the manufacturer and solve the problem immediately. Because Kevin was able to solve the problem I will now have a new deck installed with the latest materials available by the manufacturer. I would recommend Blue Star for any future projects I might have. Kevin and his team do spectacular work and commit to their customers 100% read more

the Deckstar team are a prime example of professionals. When you are dealing with them you feel like their only customer. Excellent work, quick and they cleaned up after they we're done. When I used them 3 years ago Kevin had the foresight to put a gate on knowing I was planning on getting a pool and an extension to my original deck. He was looking out for my bottom dollar, so I wouldn't pay for the original work then more work to add a gate. It costs more but I would definitely suggest the post lights, they are amazing when sitting out there. read more

Excellent Service & Immediate Response! Our deck needed a repair, and I called Kevin expecting to wait for an appointment. Instead, Kevin scheduled us for service the very next day. This level of efficiency and speed in getting a contractor booked is fantastic. It's clear they prioritize customer needs and reliable communication. I have total confidence that the quality of the repair work will be just as exceptional. Highly recommend Blue Star Decking for their promptness and outstanding customer service! Thank you Kevin! read more

Denise C. I can't say enough about Kevin and his employees. He's amazing!!!! Very professional. He is so Knowledgeable and committed to his field of work and his customers.

Kevin listens to you and explains everything in detail so you understand. I was so fortunate to find Kevin who flawlessly built my deck. read more

Absolutely the BEST! Cannot say enough how amazing Kevin, Chris, Lara, and all the crew are at Blue Star. They installed a beautiful Trex deck in our backyard and wood pergola over our front porch for us a few years ago but our relationship didn't end there. Every time we sit outside on our deck or underneath our pergola we look at what a fantastic job Blue Star did. You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Blue Star Carpentry remodeled our deck and installed a large patio in our yard. We couldn't be happier with the results! Not only was Kevin extremely responsive and helpful, but all of his team members were quick and efficient. They would consistently keep us updated on when they were or were not coming due to weather and I found their pricing reasonable. Definitely recommend! read more

I have had my deck for about 5 years and it looks like it was done yesterday. I get compliments about it whenever we have company over. I called Kevin today to ask him a question. He remembered me and we had a nice talk. You don't find people like that every day. If you are looking for a deck this is the company I would recommend. read more

Kevin and his team are absolutely the best. From start to finish, the service was flawless. Had 2 decks done with a pool in the middle of one of them. Chris and the team all were like a well-oiled machine and everything exceeded my expectations and that's not an easy thing to do. If you need decking, this is the company to use! read more
