As much as my husband and I are very private people, I have concluded that not leaving this review would be a sin.
My husband and I hired Starlight Construction to build our new house in Greenwich. They demolished our old house and put up the new one. The project was $2,562,750.
The other builder was $2,875,400. So, Starlight saved us $312,650.
Prior to hiring Starlight, I read the reviews and was very confused because Starlight came highly recommended by a very good friend. So, I went and read the case files involving the company and found out that Jeanmarie Sondag's position was that neither she nor her husband read the contract before signing it, and as a matter of fact, that she didn't read the contract until Starlight brought the project to the 3rd draw stage and insisted on structured payment that Starlight, Jeanmarie and her husband all agreed to. Hard to believe the case even got to court, especially considering that she brought the charges against Starlight. She ended up paying Starlight to settle out of court for some undisclosed amount.
Shelton's case was similar. Shelton refused to pay, Starlight stopped work and filed a mechanics lien, Shelton sued Starlight and the judge sided with Starlight.
Case files, even including court transcripts are public records available for all to read. You can read them yourself. You will find Jeanmarie's case very comical.
All I can say is we are very glad we hired Starlight. Femi is a perfectionist and quite the craftsman who takes a lot of pride in his work. His employees are very kind, respectful, friendly, smart, neat, hardworking and professional. Workers on our house were mostly American Caucasian, Eastern European and Hispanic. We never asked to see their passports.
I don't expect to build another house in this lifetime but if I did, it would be Starlight ten times. Whoever passes up the opportunity to hire this company passes up a great thing.
