Clients on working with Owen
Two recent renovation clients, in their own words.
We had the pleasure of having Owen complete some renovation work in our home, and have been very happy with his workmanship. Owen is friendly, polite, honest, hardworking, approachable, and takes a lot of pride in the finished result of his work. We really appreciated the effort he put in and his willingness to help bring our ideas to life, and also seeing/suggesting possibilities to make the end result even better. We would be very happy to recommend Owen to others looking for someone reliable to help with their building and renovation projects.
Taryn & Clint MarrisOwen has helped us complete a renovation project recently. Can’t thank him enough for being punctual, his communication was excellent and he did a great job. All his work was done to a high standard and completed on time. Would be happy to use him again on our next project.

Is Owen the person who does the work?
Yes. StarBuilders is owner-operated. Owen plans the job, is on the tools, and brings in his own subcontractors for plumbing, electrical and tiling where a job needs them.
