Stellar Remodeling and Design

I hired Stellar to remodel my bathroom. The staff were wonderful, they were sweet and worked hard. The management did not keep in touch. Every time I went by the building they were nowhere to be seen. Awful experience and would not recommend!

We hired Stellar to redo our master bath after a good experience several years ago when they redid our kitchen. They did an excellent job once again. They were extremely helpful in designing what we wanted and performed the work in a timely and professional manner. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. I recommend Stellar without reservation

My husband and I just completed a kitchen remodel with Stellar. I can not rate their team highly enough. Their partners (flooring, appliances, and contractors) are of the highest caliber and so professional. The quality of the products are excellent. Would definitely do this again (in a few years!)

Our bathroom remodel was the highest quality workmanship. Everyone from the office to the installers delivered the best quality workmanship that will be enjoyed for many years to come. We would use them again.

We are extremely pleased and happy with our primary bathroom which Stellar remodeled for us. Working on the re-design through the completed project was a satisfactory process. We were extremely pleased with the project manager and the team he had working on the bathroom. Their work is very high quality and results in many compliments of our bathroom.

Stellar Remodeling and Design has been wonderful! From the first time I walked into their office,they were willing to talk to me, and answer questions. Thinking that I would have the one kitchen in Charlottesville that was not going to be able to be renovated, they came up with a solution to make it the beautiful space that it is now. I fully enjoy it! The crew was just as wonderful. I had heard the horror stories of people trying to get a company to do some work but not show up. Stellar showed up and were honest and have been total joy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better crew. They explain the issues that come up and help to see what was going to work for the space. I would recommend them to anyone. Like in their commercials I have them working on a second project.

I couldn’t be happier with the final project. My screened porch looks beautiful and I will enjoy it for many years to come. However, there were a couple of bumps along the way. Communication between my expectations and what was planned could have been better. You should be very explicit when discussing finishes and clarifying the amount of time needed to complete the project. The Stellar personnel were wonderful to work with. When I had an issue the response was immediate and completed to my satisfaction. As I said earlier I am very happy with the final product.

We had a tub to walk in shower conversion. The construction crews were very professional and matriculate in their work. All materials are off top quality. I only wish I had done this 2 years ago , we love it.

I highly recommend Stellar Remodeling and Design. They took an itty bitty old-fashioned bathroom and transformed it into something truly beautiful, innovative, and much more functional. The workers were master craftsman who took obvious pride in their work. Stellar definitely has a commitment to excellence. I'm very pleased!

We had a primary suite - bedroom walk-in closet and bathroom added to the empty space in our 3-story garage. It was a 2-story high attached garage space with a bonus room on the third floor level. Design phase started in January 2021, construction started in June and was completed in October. The design phase was a haphazard shambles. Rodney could never seem to remember what he’d told us or seen or done and had to be reminded to send requested items. He was very nice, so I hope that this was not signs of early onset Alzheimer’s. It was quite frustrating and I’m glad Nathan was there to back him up. I was glad when we got through design as the project was then turned over to Ryan. We had used Stellar seven years earlier for a primary suite bathroom remodel and loved their work. Ryan had worked that project so I was hoping for the same experience. Nothing could have been farther from what we experienced. Ryan never showed up on time. This wouldn’t normally have been a problem as he had some reliable workers who needed no supervision. But, he hired a crew of two, whose work he did not know, to do the drywall. By 12:30 they had made the biggest mess I have ever seen. Lucky for us the work and mess were all in the garage behind a closed door. I came downstairs from my office for lunch and heard a radio blaring from behind that closed door. Ryan showed up a few minutes later and the radio was immediately turned down. I didn’t see the mess until after I finished working that day. Ryan was extremely apologetic and explained that he had never used these guys before but due to the pandemic he was short staffed and decided to give them a try. The drywall looked as if these guys had cut it with their teeth! There were gaps as much as an inch wide in what should have been seams. Of course that would be the only job they ever got from Ryan. His finishing guy was livid and had to do what was probably 2-3 times more work. Even so, once we moved in we noticed visible seams and even a crack. Jim came out to look at the crack and seams and said it is due to settling. Since the job includes one follow up visit within two years, he advised waiting another 18 months so that everything that needs fixing will have shown up for that one visit. The original due date was end of July. We ordered furniture from three different stores for a mid- to late August delivery. The first time the date slid, we rearranged those delivery dates. The second time the date slid we had already scheduled one for after that date and only had to deal with the other two. But they didn’t make that date either so we covered our new bed with plastic while they finished up the last couple items. I kept emphasizing that we were not in a rush for the project to be completed and we only wanted a realistic completion date so that we could arrange the deliveries. It became obvious that Ryan needed to have the project done because he needed his crew on other projects. I would have been fine with a much later completion date with the A-team working my project between other jobs. This was an addition for which there was no urgency. I just wanted the same quality that I received before. The quality is pretty good. The process definitely good have been better.

Committing to a significant size project during the heigh of Covid might have been challenging for some but not Stellar. They kept us informed of any delays weekly (if not daily). Their scope of work for our project required complete removal of a sunroom and then an addition to that same area. This along with a complete kitchen (gut) remodel. This project in basic terms was a complete rebuild of 1/2 of my home. Stellar was always professional and respected our needs during this project. Their team members became like family members to us, they worked hard and efficiently. We also had a laugh or two along the way. The end result of our project was nothing short of AMAZING. We love it as does everyone that has visited. Any future projects for us will certainly be done by Stellar!

The Stellar Team did an amazing job helping my family design a beautiful farmhouse kitchen. The Team was thorough and made sure all our dreams came true! My family is very ecstatic of the new kitchen! Thank you guys so much! We highly recommend Stellar to all of our friends!

Their work was well done with attention to detail and to our desires. It was fun to work with Rodney and the teams be to see our plans become reality.

My wife and I discovered that one of the outside corners of a cantilevered area off our third floor master bedroom (known as the treehouse as it protruded into a mature tree) was sagging. We contracted with Stellar to fix the problem. Once the work began it was quickly discovered that the defect (and therefore the fix) was significantly more complex than anticipated, and that there had been water intrusion resulting in black mold. As the work progressed we were kept fully informed of the problem, its causation, and the proposed cure. It took 7-8 weeks and a lot of steel, but in the end my wife and I couldn't have been more pleased. Communication was outstanding, the crew kept the work site clean, the impact on the tress and landscaped beds was minimal, and the end product exceeded our expectations.

I'm so glad I chose Stellar for my kitchen and bath remodeling projects. Jim had great suggestions for opening up the kitchen that I absolutely love! What a difference in flow and functionality. The bathroom, tiny as it is, also turned out great thanks to helpful input and guidance from the foreman and crew. Speaking of the crew, they were so pleasant to work with: their workmanship and collaborative ethic are just the qualities you want on a big remodel in your home! Thank you, Stellar! I have a long list of projects in the queue for you!

We couldn’t have asked for a more professional or better group to work with. From the initial consultation to the final walk through, Jim and his team listened, asked clarifying questions and made the construction process as easy as possible. Our start date was at the height of COVID and quarantine; the guys made us feel comfortable and safe. Since we lived there during construction they were always conscious of our time and activity; I was able to work froM home through the entire process. Thank you Jim, Ryan and all the other guys! Stellar will be our ONLY call for any future work!!

Stellar had done wonderful work in our kitchen 4 years ago, so it was an easy decision for us to go directly to Jim to discuss the renovation of a 21 year old (builder grade) bathroom. After an in-home visit, we discussed with Jim what we envisioned. Jim came back with a comprehensive design plan and it was clear he heard everything we discussed. Even during this very trying time, Jim and his team delivered a beautiful bathroom with professionalism, respect for our distancing and even Clorox wiped all doors and knobs each day touched during the project. The result is a beautiful new bathroom! Thank you Stellar! We look forward to our next project with you.

We recently had Stellar remodel our master bath, including a new stone tiled shower, ventilation, pocket door, plumbing and electrical. We LOVE our new shower!!! From the design to the finish painting our experience has been a delight. Jim, Nancy, Blakely and the team of craftsmen were professional, courteous and dedicated. Did I say we LOVE our shower?

Excellent company to do business with. Workmen were polite, courteous, and provided professional workmanship. Workmen arrived on the day and at the time promised. I highly recommend this company for your remodeling project.

Stellar Remodeling did a fantastic job with our home remodeling which included new hardwood floors, new marble kitchen counter-tops, new back-splash, closet design, and the addition of laundry room shelves. From a customer service perspective, the team (from ownership, field management, and professional trades), were professional and courteous. They were so professional to my wife and family. They also kept us informed through the entire process. From a quality perspective, the entire team was extremely knowledge and executed flawlessly. They know there stuff! We appreciated Ryan's field management expertise and he always kept the project on track, with great advise throughout the project. Many thanks Ryan! Overall, when we moved to Crozet, we knew we had a lot of work to do remodel our home, however, we couldn't be more pleased with Stellar Remodeling. I would highly recommend Stellar to have the work done with the highest quality, and on time.

We used Stellar for our kitchen remodel. This was our first remodeling project and we were so pleased at how well it went. The crew were very neat and polite and tried hard to ensure our home and kitchen-in-transition was useable to some degree throughout the project. They were also true craftsmen and their worked showed it. The finished project turned out better than expected. We would definitely recommend Stellar and plan to use them again for other home improvement projects.

Stellar is an excellent company to work with! We had a whole kitchen remodel which included knocking out a wall. From helping to make selections to the finished project, Stellar was there to answer questions, concerns and to collaborate with. The crew was generally the same group each day. We were able to get to know and trust them which is important when you are living a renovation. We cannot say enough about Stellar, as they truly are! We love our kitchen and are looking forward to having our bathrooms renovated next year. Thank you Jim, Nancy and Team!

Project: I had the existing counter top in my kitchen replaced, as well as new sink, faucet, and disposal installed. Jim and Nancy were a pleasure to work with during the design phase, and installation. The Stellar work crew were pleasant, efficient, cleaned after themselves. Most of all is their quality of work is most evident. I would recommend Stellar for you home project. Thank-you Nancy, Jim, and the Stellar work crew for bringing my kitchen back to life.

Stellar was recommended to me by a friend who just had her kitchen redone and it was amazing. I found Stellar and their redesign "craftsmen" highly professional and engaged in their work. They were perfectionists who worked until they knew things were done100+% right! It was obvious they took great pride in the quality of their work and final outcome of the kitchen. Our kitchen is amazing too!

My project was a total master bath remodel. I needed to reconfigure my bathroom to allow me to age in my home comfortably. I wanted a remodeler who could handle the project from start to finish. I found the perfect fit with Stellar Remodeling. They designed the space perfectly and took care of ordering everything to complete the job. I did not have to run all over town looking for materials. The tradesmen worked everyday and cleaned up after themselves everyday. They were very careful to keep my space as clean as possible during construction. Everyone who worked in my house conducted themselves professionally and they did a wonderful job!! The job was completed on time and I could not have been happier with the end result. I would highly recommend Stellar for any remodeling project.

Stellar was so fantastic to work with for our kitchen renovation! They made a very big project easy and super manageable! I had a basic idea what I wanted for the new kitchen, but Stellar used an amazing 3D program to show me more possibilities and the finished project was better than I could have imagined! I have two little boys and was worried about having a crew in my house with a mess for weeks. Not the case at all!! Stellar made the whole renovation absolutely painless and actually fun! They contained all the renovation mess and we barely knew they were there. Came in and out very quietly and kept very consistent hours so I could continue my life as usual. Stellar fixed any problems before I could even bring them up! The whole project was completed just as discussed with no surprises. The whole process was so easy and we liked Stellar so much we had them come back just a few weeks later to build a mudroom for us! I cannot recommend Stellar highly enough! Extremely honest and upfront and fun to work with.

My most recent home improvements were the third large project Jim and his creative and construction team have done for us, this time a laundry list of major repairs, a cedar pergola, and a new bathtub and shower. For creative informed design, quality materials and workmanship, determination to please the customer, and an ongoing commitment to stand behind the work Stellar is the only remodeling company I'd consider for myself or recommend to anyone else. They are professional and trustworthy in every regard. We have lived with work Jim did fifteen years ago and are as satisfied now as we were the day he finished. The recent projects, particularly the pergola and shower, are handsome improvements to the house. Stellar every time.

We had a wonderful experience with Stellar Remodeling and design! They were reliable and worked independently which was important as I work out of town. Questions and clarifications were handled electronically often when I was away. Because the staff was largely employed by Stellar, the individuals worked well together as a team and there we no delays. their work was impeccable and they were delightful to work with. I highly recommend them.

We enjoyed working with this professional design team, and their craftsmen's work was superior. No outside contractors were used, and all deadlines were met. Would high recommend this company for future design & remodel needs.

Beautiful job. They kept to the budget and there were no surprises. Loved the crew. They were professional, friendly, courteous, and on time. Kelly & Jim were so helpful in making choices. The app is wonderful & someone always responded quickly to messages. We will definitely use them again.

The folks at Stellar Remodeling & Design are knowledgeable, dedicated, customer service oriented and fun. Many clients rave about their work and how much they enjoy and appreciate all the great folks there. I commend them on their excellent work and service!

Kelly and Phylix were great to work with on a bathroom remodel recently. They have a great attention to detail, respond quickly to questions, and are very helpful.

Kelly was "Super" from day one when I called to make an appointment, answered all my questions and was prompt in responding to my emails. Showed me the different options there were in deciding colors and cabinets. I love the results of my kitchen.

I would highly recommend Stellar Remodeling and especially Kelly, their design professional. Stellar worked with us to design our dream bathroom. The workmanship and construction materials were high quality and the work was completed in a timely manner.

I love the French doors!! I can't say enough about Stellar Remodeling and their crew! My doors look like they were built with the original house. The job was competed in one day and the clean up left my house looking like no one had ever been here. I've had so any compliments on how beautiful they look! You guys are the most professional team I've ever worked with! Thanks again!!!!

Stellar Remodeling and Design did a complete kitchen remodel for us and we could not be happier with the results! We met with the owner, Jim Boskett; told him our budget ($25,000) and he created a beautiful kitchen for the agreed upon amount. Jim uses a great software program shown on a large, flat screen monitor, with the kitchen elevations shown from many angles so we knew exactly how the new kitchen would look. As we discussed the plans, we ended up adding two built in cabinets with upper glass door cabinets in our dining area, and we are so glad we did. It tied the whole area together and was worth the additional cost. Ryan and Jared, the craftsmen/installers, were a pleasure to have in our home. Respectful of our property, completely trustworthy and kept us informed of all work done or to be done. We appreciated their many years of experience and specifically, their attention to detail. If a problem arose, it was discussed with us thoroughly with a agreed upon decision. A specific problem was an area of ceiling, wall to wall, which was off (not level) by a significant amount. After discussing the options, it was decided to hang the cabinets as they had done at another job with a similar problem. Using this solution no one would ever know how off the ceiling is in this area. Eric and Bill completed the painting plus the drywall work. The ceiling over the old island and kitchen sink had a terrible patch job done by a previous owner. Bill cut out these areas, installed new drywall, mudded and sanded so now the entire ceiling looks as it should. The crew stayed on site each work day, never leaving to go to another job, which was very important to us. At the end of each day, they would clean up then discuss what was planned for the next day's work and what time they would arrive on the job. Because of the complete professionalism exemplified by all who work for Stellar Remodeling and Design, the inconvenience of this remodel job was made most pleasurable. We would definitely hire Stellar for our next project.

I was very pleased with the service I received on my house: structural repairs to all the floor joists on the upper necessitated removal of all the electrical, plumbing and gas pipes, and ductwork located between. Attention to detail was excellent; the two bathrooms upstairs got all new fixtures and accessories. Everyone in the company I worked with was professional, honest, courteous, and helpful in scoping out the structural problems, fixing them, and putting my house back together with the added changes that I wanted. They worked with me to accomplish the work beginning when I wanted and in a reasonable and reliable timeframe so I knew what to expect with schedule and costs.

We have hired this company for two jobs, one large and one medium-sized. We have been extremely pleased with the quality of their work. Jim particularly is very helpful and knowledgeable with design ideas. Both times the final price was exactly what the estimate was. When minor glitches occurred they made sure they were fixed promptly. We are very glad to give Jim and his team the very highest rating for quality work and integrity.

Stellar Remodeling and Design designed and installed a custom vanity for my small bathroom. I hired Stellar just for the vanity cabinet. Although they were doing a small part of the project, they gave it 100% of their attention. They had a great showroom with samples so I could see all finishes and styles in person. Their designer listened to my ideas and reviewed my Houzz photos to create a functional and beautiful cabinet to fit a narrow space. They also used current design software to create a realistic sketch of my design, which we tweaked several times until it was just right. I appreciated the benefit of a professional interior designer at no extra cost. The designer, owner and installer (their own employee--not a subcontractor) worked as a seamless team to complete the project on time and on budget. All three were knowledgable, professional, experienced, and super friendly. They replied quickly to all my questions. When a drawer did not fit (due to manufacturer's error), it was promptly replaced. They even offered tips on other aspects of the project (countertop, floor tile, hardware) to achieve the overall look I wanted. This was no easy task considering I had a modest budget, and needed to work around existing wall tile and fixtures. My Crystal cabinet is high quality and will last for many years--definitely a good value. Before I found Stellar, I shopped around at all the local cabinet shops. At the others, I felt as if I had stepped back in time 10+ years. At Stellar, I felt as if I were on The Property Brothers on HGTV! They offer the latest designs and technology combined with the best old-fashioned customer service. Jim, Kelly and their team put their customers first, and it really shows. They are the best in the business and I look forward to working with them again.

Jim and company are very easy to work with and always have thoughtful/helpful suggestions for the remodeling of our kitchen. The quality of the work was high at a very reasonable rate. When we had an issue, it was resolved quickly and professionally. When we began the project Jim asked several questions: what were things we really like about our current kitchen design and what did we want to change. He asked these questions because he wanted us to have ownership of the project. We would highly recommend Stellar Remodeling & Design for any remodeling job!
