I hired this company to remodel my kitchen, and I was very pleased with the entire experience. They were straightforward, professional, and very detailed throughout the project. Everything was handled efficiently and with great attention to detail. Russ was a great project manager and did an excellent job, especially when I made some changes in the middle of the project. I really appreciated his flexibility and professionalism. I would definitely recommend this company!

I don't often write reviews, but this company absolutely earned a 5-star review. We couldn't be happier with our new Azek TimberTech deck! From start to finish, the entire experience was outstanding. The crew was professional, courteous, and efficient throughout the project. They handled the demolition of our old deck quickly, kept the work area clean, and completed the installation on schedule. In addition to the beautiful new deck, they also installed a new white gutter and a custom gate with a metal frame, both of which turned out amazing. The craftsmanship and attention to detail on every aspect of the project exceeded our expectations. The finished deck has completely transformed our backyard, and the Azek TimberTech decking paired with the black railing gives it a clean, modern look that we're excited to enjoy for years to come. One thing that really set them apart from the other contractors we received bids from was their professionalism and transparency. Their pricing was straightforward, and their proposal and contract clearly outlined every detail of the project. There were no surprises or vague estimates. If any changes were needed, they would not perform additional work without first discussing it and providing a proper change order. They did require a down payment to begin the project, which is standard practice, and everything was handled professionally. A special thank you to Russ, our project manager, who was incredible to work with. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was done right. He consistently went above and beyond to answer our questions, keep us informed, and ensure we were completely satisfied with the final result. It's rare to find someone so committed to customer satisfaction. This is a company that takes pride in its work and stands behind it. I would absolutely trust them with future projects and won't hesitate to hire them again. If you're looking for exceptional craftsmanship, honest pricing, excellent communication, and a team that truly cares about doing the job right, I highly recommend them. Five stars all the way!

Star's explosive post-2015 growth means most of the city is one housing cohort — production two-story homes ready for builder-grade upgrades. The exception is the older Main Street pocket and a small fringe of custom Foothills builds.
2015 – 2022 build-out
Post-2015 master-planned community on the west side of Star along the Boise River. Two-story production homes on 5,000 to 10,000 sq ft lots with builder-grade shaker maple kitchens, quartz-look laminate or basic granite counters, and carpet through the main level. HOA architectural committee reviews exterior scope. Common projects: quartz kitchen refreshes, primary-bath tile shower rebuilds, basement finish-outs.
2012 – 2020
Established Star subdivision with larger lots and a mix of production and semi-custom builds. Kitchen and bathroom refreshes are the highest-volume scope. Some homes have moved into premium finish tiers as the neighborhood matures.
2010 – 2020
Family-oriented subdivision with two-story production stock. Builder-grade upgrade cycles are the leading remodel scope here — quartz counters, LVP flooring, tile shower rebuilds.
1950s – 1980s + original 1900s farmhouses
The older historic pocket around Main Street. Mixed housing stock including original farmhouses, mid-century ranches, and post-war infill. Different playbook from the newer subdivisions — closer to our North End Boise work.
2018 – 2024 custom builds
Newer custom builds on hillside parcels north of downtown. Larger lots, premium finish tier, view corridors. Some parcels remain on private wells or septic — verify utility of record before design.
2020 – 2024
The newest Star subdivisions filling in around the established communities. Modern construction, active HOAs, finish-tier upgrades still 3 to 5 years away from the typical remodel window.
Star operates its own city services but has historically used Ada County Development Services for building permits. As Star grows, some parcels are shifting to direct city permitting. We verify jurisdiction from the Ada County Assessor record before scoping anything permit-triggering — the wrong permit path costs 2 to 4 weeks and possibly an ACHD impact-fee surprise.

Star is above 10,000 residents, so Idaho Code § 67-6541 (SB 1354, cities must conform local code by 2027-02-01) applies. Owner-occupancy on ADUs is out; ADU height cannot be capped below the primary dwelling; one internal OR one detached ADU is by-right per lot. Star's specific implementation sits in the city zoning code — confirm the current rule before designing.

Before
After
Three factors change how a Star project runs relative to a same-name project in Boise or Meridian.
Post-2015 Star construction runs on PEX plumbing, 200-amp electrical service, engineered floor systems, and modern framing. Kitchen and bath remodels rarely surface the electrical-panel-and-water-line surprises that add $8,000 to $20,000 to a comparable North End Boise scope. That predictability is real — most Star projects land mid-band because of it.
Star has historically used Ada County Development Services for building permits; as the city grows, more parcels are shifting to direct city permitting. Assume nothing — check the Ada County Assessor record and confirm with the current permit path before design.
Heron River, Star River, Lakewood, and the newer Star subdivisions all run active HOA architectural committees for exterior scope. Interior kitchen and bath work is not HOA-reviewed. Plan an extra 1 to 4 weeks parallel review on any exterior project.

Real questions the Star homeowners we work with ask.
Yes. Star is 15 miles northwest of our Boise office — a 20 to 25 minute drive on Highway 44 at normal traffic. We do not currently have a published Iron Crest case study inside Star city limits, but nearby completed projects include the Eagle Banbury Meadows composite deck build and the Eagle kitchen island installation, both a short drive from Star. Every Star project is estimated by the same estimator, built by the same crew, and warrantied under the same 3-year workmanship warranty as our home-city Boise work.
Heron River, Star River, and Lakewood carry the majority of our Star project volume — those are the post-2015 subdivisions where the housing stock is new enough that discovery costs are low but old enough that the original builder finishes are ready for upgrades. Newer 2020-era Star subdivisions are just starting to enter the finish-tier upgrade cycle. Older stock in the historic downtown Star pocket around Main Street is smaller-volume for us but real.
Depends on the specific parcel. Star operates its own city services but has historically used Ada County Development Services for building permits — many Star parcels permit through adacounty.id.gov rather than a Star city portal. Some newer parcels shift into direct city permitting as Star grows. Ada County Highway District impact fees apply here as they do across Ada County. We verify jurisdiction from the Ada County Assessor record before scoping anything permit-triggering.
Builder-grade upgrade cycles are the highest-volume Star scope: quartz counters replacing original laminate, semi-custom shaker cabinetry replacing builder-grade oak, LVP or engineered hardwood replacing carpet, updated primary-bath tile shower rebuilds, and unfinished-basement build-outs on the two-story stock. Home additions are also strong — Star's newer construction means additions tie into modern PEX plumbing and 200-amp electrical rather than the older-stock discovery costs that push North End Boise budgets up.
Star has grown past 10,000 residents, so Idaho Code § 67-6541 (SB 1354) applies here. That overlay bars Star from imposing owner-occupancy on an ADU and from setting an ADU height cap below the primary dwelling; cities have until 2027-02-01 to conform their local codes. Star's specific ADU allowances — minimum lot area, exact setbacks, size caps — sit in the city's zoning code and change more often than a page like this can keep up with. Confirm the current rule with Star at (208) 286-7247 or Ada County Development Services before designing.
Yes. Composite and PVC decking over 24-inch frost footings, aluminum and cable rail systems, multi-level layouts on the Star River view lots. Same crew, same materials, same warranty as our Boise deck work. Star's newer subdivisions typically have flat or gently sloped lots that keep deck framing straightforward relative to the Eagle Foothills stepped-foundation scope.
Star has its own water utility for most inside-city parcels (City of Star Public Works). Consumer-confidence reports and hardness figures come from the city's own annual report. Some Star Foothills-adjacent parcels remain on private wells or septic. If a project touches water or sewer, we verify the utility of record for your specific parcel; Star's water infrastructure is different from Veolia Water Idaho's Boise / Meridian / Eagle service area.
Our published Boise-market ranges apply because the same crew, the same supplier network, and the same code requirements govern the project. Kitchens $22,000 to $145,000. Bathrooms $15,000 to $75,000+. Additions $60,000 to $400,000+. ADUs $95,000 to $320,000. Decks $18,000 to $95,000+. Star's newer housing stock generally lands mid-band because discovery costs are low.
Same crew, same estimator, same warranty across the Treasure Valley.
Kitchen, bathroom, deck, addition, ADU, siding or windows — Iron Crest Remodel runs Star as part of our core Ada County service area. Free, no-pressure estimates and honest scope on your parcel.
