My wife and I were looking around for about three months in search of a company with the overall best services & quality home renovation/design. So after months of calling and looking around the Wayne/North Jersey area. We decided to take a chance with Five Star Finish because of their credibility and especially that their project portfolio showed such beautiful finishes. The same day we called Billy (owner) came by and gave a quite accurate estimate that was in our price range, we were happy about it and decided to continue doing business with them. At first, we had simple, modern, and elegant/classy outlook on what we wanted done to our kitchen and bathroom. But after meeting with Billy again, he showed us that the possibilities are quite endless. Although, we had our idea about what we wanted, but ended up going with many of Billy's idea and were quite stubborn. His insights turned out incredible, his passion for his work is incredible. The main point is, our experience with them was beyond 5 stars. They were easily the most pinpoint and detailed renovators around. For anyone, looking for any type of house work from the simplest to the most elaborate, they are the ones. No bulls**t, they live up to their name!! They dont work like any others. From being EXTREMELY CLEAN and PRECISE with their work and they take their time on everything. All of their staff treated my house like it was their own. I've never seen cabinets and tiles more distinct and error-free. One more thing to add, they are definitely worth every penny spent on their services. At the end of the day, when it comes to house work..its all about the quality and you get what you pay for. That being said, our experience with them and the quality of work and services they provided me was beyond worth it!! if your looking for contractors in the North Jersey area, I can easily recommend Five Star Finish. I didn't know how to upload the before and after pictures of how our bathroom and kitchen turned out but i believe it might be on their Instagram or website. read more

Just bought a home in North Bergen and was recommended to contact Five Star Finish. I needed my kitchen to be gutted and and new flooring to be put in my living room and loft, and I can, without a doubt say, the work they did was amazing. This is my first home that my fiance and I have purchased and we knew nothing of the process when it comes to home renovating, but Billy and his team made this whole experience an easy and satisfying one. When ever we ran into what I thought was going to be an issue, Billy easily rectified it. He even made suggestions that we had not thought of that made our kitchen come out looking even more amazing than we thought it could. His recommendations for where to buy materials, were also amazing. We found exactly what we were looking for, and the people we worked with to get the materials were very easy and accommodating. There were a few instances where I wanted to make changes from the original plan, which I'm sure most contractors don't like, and without hesitation he accepted the changes with a positive attitude. During the entire process I had a ton of questions, but him and his team were more than happy to answer them. One issue I came across was the delivery of my appliances. The guys who delivered them did minimal work to deliver and install them (fridge, microwave). The fridge was slanted and they left the doors uneven, they claimed that the slant is due to the slant of the floors, Billy easily fixed it. The microwave, which is located in the island, could not have the trim installed because of the way the pocket was cut out, Billy fixed it. He took on these small extra jobs, which could have been avoided if the delivery guys (pcrichards) did their jobs right, without a second thought. He really does amazing work and I can't say enough about him and his team. I plan on doing work on my two guest bathrooms, and will definitely be contacting him to take on the jobs. read more

We had a bathroom pipe leak and cause significant damage to the kitchen ceiling below. It turns out we needed a gut bathroom renovation to solve the problem. We read reviews online and decided to call Five Star Finish--the best choice we could have made. At the beginning of the process, Billy patiently talked us through our options for repair and worked with our insurance company to make sure that our claim would be enough to get the job done the RIGHT way (without mismatched, patched tiles or flooring). We got an immediate and complete payout from our insurance company thanks to Billy. The Five Star Finish team is fast, professional and very skilled. They completely demolished our bathroom in less than a day, and the entire renovation only took about two weeks. I was particularly impressed with their tile work--I chose a complicated shower tile that required a lot of cuts to install and it looks immaculate. They also were very tidy, cleaning anything they might have touched at the end of each workday and leaving no traces of dust behind. You can tell right away that Billy has integrity and is passionate about his work and people in general. He never talked down to me or made me feel like my many questions were intrusive. And perhaps the best example of the kind of contractor Billy is: One afternoon, while he was waiting for the township inspector to arrive, he took it upon himself to fix a ton of random things in the house that needed repairs (but that had nothing to do with our original project). We are thrilled with our new bathroom and thrilled with our experience throughout the process. We had never heard of Five Star Finish before this unexpected renovation, but you can bet that we'll be using them for every renovation we do in the future. read more

I had a few kitchen upgrades I was trying to do before the holidays and was having trouble finding someone that would take on the work at a fair price. I quickly came to realize that the "small" project i dreamed up would have required me to hire a plumber, electrician, handyman, and tile installer! I was delighted to find Billy from five star finish who came by the same day I called and gave me an estimate to do ALL the work at once. He came in with a small crew of him and two other guys. Everyone was very professional and clearly skilled at what they did. They installed a garbage disposal under my double sink. I knew the job was going to be a pain because of how the setup was previously installed and the fact that I wanted the biggest garbage disposal out there, but Billy and his team made light work of the situation. Next, I had a hood installed over the range that vented outside. I was a little nervous as any new homeowner would be having a hole cut in the side of my house, but Billy took me through all the options for venting and made me feel comfortable with the final outcome. After he installed the hood, he finished up the gap in the stone backsplash that was left from the removal of the microwave and matched it perfectly to the tile that was there. The install of both appliances and the tile work was super clean and was a massive upgrade to the functionality and look of my kitchen. When they were done with the work, they cleaned up as if they were never there. I would definitely consider these guys for my next job (full bathroom reno) and recommend them to anyone looking for quality work at a competitive price! read more

Billy and Billy at Five Star Finish are awesome! From the time I first reached out to them for an estimate, Billy has been very responsive and always quickly responds to texts and phone calls. He always answers his phone, which is a huge plus when it comes to communicating with contractors. We began updating our kitchen by ordering our own cabinets and thought we would contract each piece of work ourselves. After having Billy in for an estimate, we realized that we had no idea what we were doing, so we hired him to demo and install our cabinets, dishwasher, garbage disposal. We also hired him to do our tile backsplash. Billy's woodworking is amazing. The place where we ordered our cabinets did not deliver the fillers, which we didn't find out until Billy was installing the trim, and he was able to improvise using some of the extra trim. His tile work also looks awesome. We need to put some finishing touches on our kitchen and then we will post pictures so you can see for yourself!! While doing the kitchen, Billy brought his electrician, also named Billy, to do some electrical work and we ended up hiring him to replace most of our light fixtures and switches. He was so easy going and did everything we asked, even changing out some of the light fixtures that we asked him to replace because we decided to move a few of them around. He was very patient with us especially with some of the changes we made. Overall, these guys are super responsive, do amazing work, and are very patient and accommodating. Definitely recommend!! read more

Where do I even begin with how much we love Five Star Finish. We are over the moon with the final project of our kitchen renovation and have nothing but amazing things to say about Billy and his team. It turned out much better than we had ever expected, and these guys were truly fantastic. Billy's brother Eric worked so hard every day, kept in communication with us about the progress, and was the neatest worker I think I have ever met. He was respectful and trustworthy and surpassed my expectations about professionalism. I usually do not trust people working in my house alone when I am not there, but I trust Billy and his team to the fullest extent. If there was ever a problem, Billy and Eric were the first to pick up their phone and help. They treat their customers like family, and Billy truly cares about his customers and always put us first. He wants things to be right, and he makes that clear. They did not finish the job until everything we asked for was completed and all touch ups were to our liking. They were patient with us, kind, and most of all, made this process enjoyable...who can say that about a renovation! Eric made the long drive to our house each and every day, showed up with a smile, and worked diligently. We would 100% recommend Five Star Finish to any family member, friend, or stranger who was in need of hiring a contractor. We wish we lived closer because these are the only guys we would want for any renovation! Thank you Billy and Eric for making our house more of a home. read more

SMART & TALENTED: Billy and the Five Star Finish team are exactly that, Five Stars! My wife and I were fortunate to meet Billy about 4 years ago when he came highly recommended, as we were looking to renovate about 90% of our home. After meeting with him; learning more about his craft, his extensive knowledge and passion for making things look beautiful we knew he was our guy. ABOVE & BEYOND: Billy is a perfectionist. He looks at projects in a way that regular people don't.He combines his vision with yours and provides options that will achieve the look and feel you're going for, within the budget you're comfortable with. He pays attention to little details that make a big difference in the end. And most importantly, there is nothing he and his team cannot do. TRUSTWORTHY: My wife and I both work and the renovations were estimated to take about 30 days to complete. We immediately felt comfortable with Billy and his team and allowed them in our home unsupervised every, day all day for a month. He is respectful, trustworthy and someone I would trust with my kids. There isn't much more I can say; If you're looking for high-quality work and a team you know will accomplish your vision, call Five Start Finish. I promise you will get the results you expect and deserve. We continue to use Billy and his team and recommend you do the same. MM- read more

I don't even know where to begin! I was recommended Five Star Finish by a friend who had work done by them. My wife and I had new kitchen appliances and a washer and dryer that needed to be installed. Because of the way that things were previously installed, it turned out not to be such an easy job. They discovered that an electrical panel in the basement was not only against code, but it was a risk to my family and our home. They showed me the damage the panel had caused and how much of a ticking time bomb it could have been. Having a newborn baby, this meant a lot. This was obviously not part of the original plan but Billy and Team did not hesitate to run out to the store, get whatever they needed, and make the necessary repairs. They also showed me a few things that unfortunately our home inspector had missed, which I appreciated. I could go on in detail about the other issues they encountered during installation with the dishwasher, refrigerator and dryer but I won't. What I will tell anyone that reads this is that these guys take no shortcuts in their work. The work they do from running water lines, gas lines, and electric is top notch. And to top it off, they worked well past dark in what supposed to be an easy job. They're good guys and I can't wait to have them re-do our kitchen and bathroom! read more

My man Billy at Five star finish saved the day! We actually hired Billy to come in and fix another contractor's disaster! We had a small addition put on and kitchen renovation done. The other contractor only created a major nightmare for us. The new addition was done totally incorrect, literally sagging in the middle. It had to be completely ripped out and redone. He did an impeccable job!!! He did a complete mud job and tiled the entire first floor to perfection. We couldn't be happier! We also used him to redo our basement and bathroom. This young man does it all!! He is so skilled in carpentry, masonrey, electrical, plumbing, but his forte' is tile work. I've worked construction before and worked with alot of contractors through the years, Billy is second to none! i can't say enough good things about Billy. He is honest, dependable, trustworthy,clean, and super talented, and a super craftsman! He is everything you are looking for when you hire a contractor. As a side note, when we sold our house, everyone who came for a showing was blown away by his workmanship. So do yourself a favor, when you need to hire a contractor, give Billy at Five Star Finish a call. You won't be disappointed!! read more

We had a great experience with Five Star Finish! We hired them to update a guest bathroom and install a completely new master bathroom in our house. Our master bathroom is my favorite room in the house now! They were less expensive than the three other companies I got estimates from and they finished each stage quickly. From the initial estimate to the final inspection, they were attentive and easy to work with. They listened to our wish list, gave us a detailed estimate for all the work involved, and made our second floor bathrooms even better than we hoped. They recommended great places to pick out our fixtures and tile, and even helped us get a good deal on the beautiful slab for our shower bench. They were also really nice guys and so helpful. Billy and different members of his team were in our house doing work for weeks, and they were always on time, friendly and clean. Our job involved plumbing, electric, different tile, dry wall, moving some of our heat and installation of a lot of different features. They answered all our questions whether big or small so we knew exactly what was going on each step of the way. We can't wait to hire them for our next project! read more

I don't even know where to begin.. Billy and Gianna went above and beyond in every possible way, and we could not be happier with all of the work they did. My husband and I are both from New York and our families are in construction, so we were very picky when meeting contractors and reviewing their work. From the second Billy came to the house we knew he was a perfect fit. He has so much passion and is one of the hardest working people you will ever meet. Being far away in New York, he would go to the house in the middle of a rainy night just to make sure we didn't have any leaks. If there was a late night delivery of furniture or something that had nothing to do with him, he would go to the house and make sure it was delivered properly and to lock everything up. On top of all of that he is a true perfectionist when it comes to the quality of his work. Being perfectionists ourselves and analyzing detail of the work being done, we were blown away with every single thing Billy and has crew did. We can't thank Five Star enough for everything they did for us, and we can't wait to start our next project because we know they are the first phone call when we do! read more

We couldn't have had a better experience with Billy and his team, who demolished and rebuilt our kitchen with new floors, cabinets and more. Billy in particular went out of his way to get me the farm sink I wanted--even when it seemed impossible due to the configuration, he found a way. The guys were always punctual and respectful and Gianna was on top of everything. While Five Star did the job I was able to work from home with almost no disruption. They were also patient and kind with our dogs, who were on premise while they worked. The team left the kitchen spotless every day--they mopped the floor before they left and stored tools tidily. Eric, Billy and Mike finished not just on time, but early. And the workmanship is truly outstanding, down to the crown molding and the intricate backsplash that took all day to install. Moreover, Five Star went the extra mile, doing some minor work that had not been in the initial contract and even volunteering to carry some heavy furniture to the curb for us. I'll say this: They do not work cheap, but the value is well worth it. The old adage is true--you get what you pay for. read more

I recently had my kitchen and bathroom remodeled by Five Star Finish LLC. I have nothing but great things to say about Billy and his crew. From start to finish needless to say they were extremely professional. I have had some bad experiences with other contractors. It was extremely hard to find a reliable one. Five Star Finish LLC definitely came through with 5 stars! I was extremely pleased with how fast I received a reply from my initial message and scheduling an estimate. I did receive quotes from other contractors as well but knew right when I met Billy he was the only one I trusted. All the other contractors I had come to my house were either late, no showed, or were not professional or friendly. I was also worried about cleanliness in my house during the remodel. Billy and his crew left my place immaculate through the whole process. With our kitchen and bathroom it was a very fast turnover time, just about 2 months. I have heard some horror stories how people will get their kitchen or bathroom remodeled and it took 4-6 months. Billy was not the cheapest quote we received but I always say you pay for quality work. read more

I want to start this review by saying it's hard to find good help these days. Ive had experiences in the past where you call the electrician/contractor and it takes them weeks to show up, and then weeks (if not months) to finish a job. Today, Billy & Billy of Five-Star Finish came by and surprisingly after only ONE phone call! No calling back and forth, no waiting for weeks...just one phone call. Both guys were polite and super professional/detailed, citing the existing issues that were causing the problems and potentially cause new problems. At the same time they were honest with me...telling me about a problem that was simply resolved by a switch in the circuit breaker as opposed to telling me we have to rewire the whole house like some other shady contractors would. These guys came here, did the job well, and didn't charge me an arm & leg. Overall, I would recommend this company to even my closest friends and family! Five-Star Finish lives up to the name and gets five stars from me! Thanks guys read more

We hired Five Star to fully renovate our kitchen. These guys say what they are going to do and then do it. My wife and I were very pleased. Billy and Gianna sat with us during the consultation and gave us some great ideas we hadn't even thought about. They gave us a detailed quote days later. Others made us wait weeks and were not detailed. Their price was competitive with the two other quotes received but I had a good feeling that 5 Star should be our choice. Eric and his crew were always on time, clean, very responsive and with me being picky they always worked with a smile. We don't regret our decision. 5 stars for 5 Star!!! read more

Simply the best! If you are looking for two of the most amazing contractors, do not look any further! After seeing my friend's beautiful kitchen, she recommended Five Star Finish to me. As soon as I met Billy and Billy, I knew we were going to work well together. Not only did they bring my dream kitchen to life, but they both went above and beyond my expectations. They are both consummate professionals, got the job done in a timely manner and were an absolute pleasure to have in my home. I now consider both of them my friends and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to re-model! read more

I hired Billy to replace a water heater (which he referred to his contact Steve that he works with) and Billy made sure Steve came right away. They worked late into the evening to make sure my family had hot water before they left. Billy also ended up redoing some electrical that was out-dated and needed to be replaced in addition to installing a new chandelier. The quote they gave was a fair price and they did far beyond average work. The whole process was very easy and I recommend them to anyone looking for a nice, honest, hardworking guy to work with. read more

I've used Five Star Finish with my basement and kitchen renovation. He assisted us with choosing materials and gave us many design options. This is not my first time renovating a house. I used someone else,I wish I known Billy before i started that project. I had way better experience with Billy. He is honest, trustworthy and most important of all he shows up on time! I would highly recommend him. He is the best on the market. If you want to save yourself from headaches. You should definitely work with him. read more

Water leak from boiler on the coldest day of the year. Needed someone very urgently to come and fix it. These guys were the only ones to come immediately & made arrangements to contain the leak & even provide permanent fix on the same day. Had it not been for them , with the extreme temp that day & heating down, my hardwood floors would have cracked & pipes leaked. They saved me from a lot of damage & $$$. Very dependable , knowledgable & efficient crew. Already thinking of them for some of the other works read more
