Frequently asked questions
Questions people ask before calling Kevin. If yours isn't here, call him directly at (330) 875-2007.
Getting started
Call or text (330) 875-2007. Kevin answers directly. If he is on a job site, he will call back the same day. There is no intake form or scheduling assistant between you and Kevin.
Kevin comes to your home, walks the space, and listens to what you want to accomplish. He asks questions, takes notes, and gives you an honest read on what is involved. There is no obligation and no sales pitch. The meet & greet is free.
No. Most clients contact Kevin before any drawings exist. He can help you think through the project and, if needed, connect you with the right architect or designer for your scope.
No. The initial call and the meet & greet are free. Kevin prepares a written proposal at no charge after the meet & greet. You are under no obligation until you approve the proposal.
The project
Yes. Kevin manages every Stellar project himself, from the first call through the final walkthrough. He does not hand projects off to a project manager after the proposal is signed. Past clients will confirm that Kevin is on their job site regularly.
Detailed enough that you know exactly what you're getting before any work starts. The proposal covers what will be done, what materials will be used, the timeline, and the cost. Kevin does not do ballpark estimates or verbal commitments.
Kevin calls you directly. Because he is on-site regularly, he catches problems early. When unexpected conditions arise, he explains what was found, what needs to happen, and what it costs before proceeding. No surprise invoices at the end.
It depends on scope. A kitchen remodel runs differently than a custom home build. Kevin discusses realistic timelines at the meet & greet and includes them in the written proposal. He does not overpromise on timing.
Experienced contractors Kevin has worked with for years, in many cases over a decade. He uses the same people consistently because he trusts their work. You will not have unfamiliar subcontractors showing up on your job site.
Service area & scope
Stark County, Portage County, and Summit County in Northeast Ohio. If you are just outside these areas, call Kevin — he can tell you quickly whether it is workable.
Custom home building, kitchen remodeling, bath remodeling, room additions, 3 & 4 season rooms, master suite relocation to the first floor, and home exterior makeovers. Stellar focuses on residential construction only.
No. Stellar focuses on larger residential construction projects. Kevin will tell you that directly when you call, rather than take on work that is not a good fit.
