This is a late review, but in fact, best done now to point out how excellent this contractor is. We…read moreknew as soon as we bought our home that we needed to re-do the kitchen. It was not functional; a large glass wall, making for an all-season room, cut off the space. Two oddly shaped islands were very dated, there was no functional microwave, and to make matters worse, the room had several "angles" to it, and a parquet floor just made the room busy. We met several contractors, but Dan quickly saw the problems with the room, and after I called past customers, I was sold. First, we wanted the work done in a short time frame during the holidays. He kept to his word and got the work done. He communicated with me on every choice; why we should make each change and what the options were. If I found something for less, but what we were thinking of doing, I bought it and he took it off his list. I could go on and on; I loved all his subcontractors. They were not just good at what they do, they were kind, respectful and friendly. Dan went out of his way to keep our cabinets intact so they could be donated to charity. Months later, when we had issues crop up, he came right over and addressed them. Good example? It is very cold here, so we knew there would be settling once we went through the winter. Dan came over, had his sheet rock and painters return, and it was done. No fuss. No charge. Before and after pictures speak for themselves. If you re lucky enough to have Dan work with you on your home, go for it.

Outstanding work. Wood floors from 1941 construction finished to new condition. No, not "like new."…read moreInstead these floors are new and you cannot tell the difference from new construction. Gone are all the marks of heavy use in the kitchen/dining area where generations of chairs sliding across the floor had removed the finish and left the floor heavily scored and darkened. And Justin was able to sand and finish right up to the very edges of the mop boards without removing the ¼ round molding. I still don't know how he did that.

The amazing thing about hardwood floors is that that almost any look can be achieved, they are a renewable resource, and they last forever!

After my post, I was contacted by Grady from Allstar. Grady came to my home and listened to my…read morecomplaints, he seem to really interested in my satisfaction (or lack thereof) with the project. They have since been out to correct the problems with the original roof replacement, everyone who came out were professional and friendly. Everything is back to looking as good as it did before the storm. Thank you Grady and Allstar for taking the steps to make sure I was happy with the look of my home when they were finished. I would consider Allstar for future projects and would encourage others to consider them as well.

I contacted All Star in Maple Plain in hopes of purchasing gutter covers. Billy contacted me a day…read moreor two later and told me he would be out the following week. Billy shows up , gives me a verbal quote and then tells me he won't have a chance to get to until that night. So I've been waiting 6 days for the quote; nothing! They obviously don't care a lot about getting business. If your serious about getting a job done, don't call All Star! Chuck C.
