Deck work — detailed praise for builds, sanding and staining
What does a remodeling project cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Starbuck Construction Services. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Active HIC registration — Massachusetts registry lists it current
Whole-room remodels — kitchens and baths rebuilt, not patched
Deep history — 92 accounts since 2019 across six sources
Recent one-star — July 2026 reviewer cited poor management, no specifics
Civic-praise review — a March 2026 five-star cites apartment projects, not a hire
Commercial workload — also building an 18-unit Hyannis apartment development
Ask around Hyannis about a deck and this name keeps surfacing. Starbuck Construction Services works out of 67 Willow Ave in Hyannis and carries 4.9 stars across 89 Google ratings, with the same 4.9 on Angi and on HomeAdvisor. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, held by Starbuck Construction Services, Inc.
The written history runs deep — 92 reviews since 2019 across six sources — and it is still growing, with 20 arriving in the last six months. What people hire them for splits three ways. Decks come up most: in a November 2024 review a homeowner counted a five-person crew that sanded and stained a deck spanning two sides of the house, benches included, over two days; a June 2024 customer walked through a Timbertech Vintage Mahogany replacement down to the picture-frame edge detail, with the nails cleaned out of the yard afterward. In October 2025 another described a custom outdoor shower built to match a garden shed the same crew had put up earlier, post caps tied to an existing Nantucket spindle fence.
Then the interiors, which tend to be whole-room jobs rather than single fixes. Recent reviewers describe a kitchen remodel with new flooring, several bathroom remodels handled in one go, and — in a February 2025 account — demo, all new flooring, painting, a full bathroom and new deck stairs. Painting runs as its own line: one customer hired what they called the company's "Painting Division" in March 2026, and a November 2023 reviewer noted the crew brushed stain on instead of spraying it and stayed off the house when the weather was wrong.
The through-line is a named human. Reviewers credit Dante, Robson and Vitor as project managers by name, and their accounts follow the same shape — a walkthrough before, regular contact during, a punch-list pass at the end. One customer writing in 2023 said they had used the company for over 15 years: painting inside and out twice, plus windows, a bulkhead door and AZEK trim.
Two things are worth raising before you call. A one-star review posted in July 2026 says only "poor management and terrible experience," with nothing about the job, so ask them directly what happened there. And not every five-star post is from a customer — one in March 2026 praises the company's apartment construction in Hyannis rather than a hire. On that: the Cape Cod Times reported in March 2025 that Starbuck was redeveloping the former 7-Eleven at 210 North St. into a four-story, 18-apartment building, so this is a firm running commercial development alongside homeowner work. Pin down who your project manager will be and what the schedule looks like.
For a deck, an exterior paint job, or a kitchen or bath taken apart and rebuilt on Cape Cod, they are a reasonable call. Confirm the registration and your crew lead's name at the estimate.

“Got a recommendation from my neighbor for house painting. They did a beautiful job and were as pleasant as can be. Great cleanup every day. Using them to install a new front door.”
Starbuck was great to work with. Our renovation process was smooth and they were able to adapt to changes in the project quickly. Would highly recommend!
Starbuck was amazing to work with from start to finish. They were super responsive from the first time I reached out for an estimate and throughout completion of our project. The employees were some of the most hardworking people I have ever met. They were professional, personable and did an incredible job on our house. I can't recommend Starbuck enough! Thank you for all of the hardwork. Our house looks brand new!
STARBUCK is a Star!! Workers start on time, work diligently, VERY competently with craftsmen results, quiet, and always polite and smiling if questions arise.
Supervisor provide detailed estimates, discuss any problem areas that arise during construction and provided estimates that were accurate. Starbuck will be my go-to contractor on Cape Cod for all the years/projects ahead!
Projects handled/contracted to date: re-shingling of rear of house, remove old deck and replace with new deck, steps and railings, and next on list: completely wash front and side exterior shingles, prep and paint all trim. I look forward to a transformed home as work to date has been outstanding!
Starbuck was amazing for our kitchen remodel and new floors. Vitor our project manager went above and beyond making sure there was clear communication throughout our project and treated our project like he was working on his own home. He made sure we understood each step of the process and was very responsive to our questions and concerns. Whatever they are paying him it’s not enough he deserves a raise! The workers were professional, polite, and always made sure to clean their work areas at the end of the day. Their work is top notch and exceeded our expectations. We would strongly recommend going with Starbuck for your next project!
