After touring many homes, built by some of the top builders in the KC area, we decided to put our faith in Starr. Gerry and Bob have been delightful to work with and are making the process fun. They have some impressive builds and a great reputation. We cannot wait to see our final, customized new home. **Comment from Starr Homes:** > Thank you for the kind words! We can't wait to see your dream home come to life! **★★★★★ — Cathy Matlack, Nov. 2019** > We've started the process of building a new home with Starr Homes. Gerry and Bob were both attentive and knowledgable, answering all questions regarding the possibilities with the lot, the home design and the building contract. They came highly recommended so we look forward to working with them throughout this exciting project. **★★★★★ — Karen, Nov. 2019** > We’re currently in final design stages on what will likely be our “final” home. The process to date has been a real pleasure. Gerry, Bob and the team have been very professional, very responsive and sensitive to all general and detail issues important to us. We’re extremely excited about getting built and moved in next year!! **★★★★★ — Walter Wu, July 2019** > We're in the midst of a home building process with them. The process has been well thought through, understandable, on track and enjoyable to boot. We can't wait to see the finished product! The experience has been night and day compared to the build processes in the Bay Area. **★★★★★ — HU-868023821, April 2019** > We started with a custom build and the process with Starr Homes has been an enjoyable experience. I would highly recommend Starr Homes for new construction **★★★★★ — HU-393949245, Feb. 2019** > We purchased a house plan from Starr Homes since we live outside of their building area. They were so helpful with questions that we had and sent us interior design information for the home plan that we had purchased. I would recommend them above anyone else, they are wonderful! **★★★★★ — Kevin Fox, Nov. 2018** > Starr Homes, along with a few other builders, was recommended to us by a leading Kansas City area realtor as a builder who consistently delivers houses of the highest quality. In investigating which builder to hire, we looked at many new homes during the Parade of Homes and also had sit-down interviews with a number of top echelon builders. The striking difference between Starr and the others was that Starr encouraged us to tour their homes as well as the homes of all the other builders we were considering. Unlike the others, Starr never had a negative thing to say about the competition. They are confident in how their work stands up against the others in a head-to-head comparison. We have been impressed with their professionalism, knowledge, attention to detail, friendliness and commitment to excellence. As a result we decided to sign the contract to build our new home with Starr and we look forward to seeing our vision become a reality." **★★★★★ — Dwell Interiors, LLC, Nov. 2018** > I have worked with Starr Homes for years on many projects from model homes to custom build jobs. I am amazed at the level of detail and service that Gerry and his team provide. It's always a pleasure to sign onto a project with a quality custom home builder and Starr Homes is one of the best. > > Chelsey Becker > Dwell Interiors **★★★★★ — Danette Baker, Nov. 2018** > In my many years as a New Homes Community Manager, I have worked with a lot of builders but Starr Homes has been one of the best for my clients. I'm always impressed with Gerry’s ability to sit down with a client, listen to their needs and then design the perfect home for them. Their very experienced team walks homeowners seamlessly through the entire process from start to finish. They pay attention to every detail from designing the plans, to helping them make décor selections, to building an exceptional home – all to their client’s exact specifications. They are innovative and pay special attention to building a more efficient home while maintaining a unique and creative design. I can’t say enough about their responsiveness, professionalism and craftsmanship. More importantly, our clients are always thrilled with the results and absolutely love their new homes! **★★★★★ — Rebekah Schaaf, Nov. 2018** > Being a top Producer on the \#1 Real Estate team in Kansas City I need to be able to work with professional builders that have great reputations, are easy to work with and aim to please the clients I bring them. That is why I highly recommend Starr homes for any custom build job. Gerry & Bob are excellent to work with and they listen to their clients as well as provide excellent feedback and service during the build process. Gerry thinks outside the box and is full of creative ideas that help his clients put together a custom one of a kind dream home that suits their needs. They are truly a custom home builder and the quality of workmanship in their homes is excellent. **★★★★★ — ahammel, March 2018** > Jerry, Bob, and Tracy have been great to work with. We are glad to be working with the Starr team and look forward to the completion of our house! **★★★★★ — Kristi Glenn, March 2018** > I have been a longtime fan of Starr Homes and have followed their progress for many years. I have dreamt of someday being able to build my own home with them and finally have started our project. I can not say enough good things about the entire Starr Homes team and how thrilled I am to be on this journey with such an amazingly talented group of individuals. Looking forward to this building experience and highly recommend Starr Homes to anyone looking to build a quality built home with an extremely professional and friendly staff! **Comment from Starr Homes:** > Thanks, Kristi.
