Every job starts with a walkthrough and ends with a walkthrough. Here’s the shape of a typical visit — from the problem photo you send us to the finished result.
Rental unit with 18 picture holes, two doorknob dents, and a ceiling stain from a leak that had been fixed a year prior.
Patched, sanded, primed, and repainted to match existing eggshell finish. Unit passed the walkthrough with zero notes.
Three fence posts rotted at the ground line. Two contractors quoted a full fence replacement at $6,800.
Posts braced with repair spikes, panels reattached, six pickets replaced, gate rehung. Full fence saved for $420 — a 94% savings over the quotes.
Real projects. Every photo in this gallery was taken on a NorthStar job site in the Twin Cities within the last eighteen months. Captions show the actual city, scope, and date. Where a homeowner asked not to be identified, we’ve noted the neighborhood only.
Yes. If you tell us the kind of work you need when you book, we’ll send you 4–6 photos from similar jobs we’ve done. It’s a good way to see what the finish quality looks like before we start.
We photograph every job for our internal records — mostly to document the work and to have a reference if anything needs attention later. Homeowners who prefer not to have photos shared can opt out; we never include identifying details like house numbers or street names.
Heated driveway installs are multi-day projects and we typically have one or two running per season. We add new photos after each completed install. There are currently eight in the gallery, and more coming this spring.
Yes. For larger projects — heated driveways, deck rebuilds, multi-room drywall — we can connect you with a past customer who had a similar job done. We always ask permission first, and only share contact details with both parties’ agreement.
Sometimes. We always take before photos for larger jobs, but small repairs often go straight from problem to solution without documentation. If you want to see the “before” state of a specific type of job, ask us when you book — we’ll pull what we have.
Most people check reviews and pricing after seeing the work. Here’s where to look.
