10 Google reviews, word for word
We recently hired NJ Gold Star Construction for a complete deck refurbish, and they knocked it out of the park. Edgar, the owner, was easy to work with—professional and clear with communication. Donald was the lead on-site, managing a dedicated crew of 4 guys who showed up every single day ready to work. They completed this massive 7-day job ahead of schedule, and the attention to detail is exceptional. The quality of the Trex Clam Shell flooring with its custom "picture-frame" border, the crisp white vinyl railings with custom flat caps, and the clean finish on the stairs looks incredible. They even seamlessly replaced a rotting kitchen window overlooking the deck as part of the project. The team kept the workspace tidy, respected our property, and delivered master-level building. If you want a crew that takes genuine pride in their carpentry and delivers a premium result, look no further than Edgar, Donald, and the NJ Gold Star team!
Edgar and his staff did a fantastic job. From day one, the communication, the time line to complete the job was done. As well as handling multi- tasking did very well. His crew was very clean organized and respectful. They paid attention to detail. They clean up at the end of the day. Very satisfied with the outcome of the job.
We are so happy we chose NJ Gold Star for our new deck! After getting several quotes, they offered one of the best prices without sacrificing quality. The crew was friendly, hardworking and incredibly efficient. They showed up on time, worked quickly, and the finished product turned out better than we expected! The best part is that they got everything done so quick that we are able to enjoy what is left of summer with hosting family and friends on our new deck. It’s refreshing to work with a contractor who does exactly what they promised, take pride in their work, but also customer satisfaction! Overall a wonderful experience! Would definitely recommend them to anyone, and will be using them ourselves again in the future!
Great experience,the whole process was explained in depth before the job was started. The crew was professional,NO nonsense,straight to work,completed on time. The cost was below other contractors. Quality workmanship, a pleasure to do business with. Highly recommended
Edgar and the NJ GOLD STAR CONSTRUCTION team are absolutely outstanding. I hired them to reconstruct my deck, which was a complex project due to significant wood rot extending all the way to the foundation. Edgar’s team rose to the challenge, addressing every structural issue with precision and expertise. They didn’t just build a deck; they ensured the foundation was right and the construction was solid. Their attention to detail and dedication to quality gave me total peace of mind. I now have a beautiful, high-quality deck that is built to last for years to come. If you are looking for a professional, skilled, and reliable construction team, I highly recommend NJ GOLD STAR!
Gold Star and Edgar Lopez are my go to guys when I need anything done in my home . They are the best !!!!

NJ Gold Star, fixed part of my roof and rebuilt my Chimney as well. Fair price for both, the work was done on time and budget, no fuss and no mess. Edgar and his guys did a great job and will definitely will use them again and I highly recommended their Service. Thank you Edgar!!!!
NJ Gold Star did an excellent job at my home. Fast, reliable and professional.
I have been giving Edgar’s number out to everyone who mentions they have a roof problem! Honest, knowledgable, fair, kind, understanding. Some of those aren’t words you use to describe a company often and you certainly can with nj gold star! We have more issues that we plan on fixing around the house and he will be our first call!
What customers write about most: decks, roofs and communication
Three themes run through the reviews of NJ Gold Star Construction: deck projects, including a full refurbish, a new deck and a reconstruction; roof and chimney repair; and how the company communicates, with customers mentioning clear explanations, clean job sites and finished-on-time work. All 11 Google reviews are five stars as of September 15, 2026.
Sorted by what customers hired us for, the ten reviews with text fall into three groups.
- Decks: three reviews from customers who hired us for a deck refurbish, a new deck and a deck reconstruction. See new deck installation and deck repair.
- Roof and chimney work: reviews covering a skylight leak and roof repair, a roof problem and a roof repair with a chimney rebuild. See roof repair, roof replacement and chimney rebuilds.
- The experience itself: reviewers who mention clear communication, a clean and respectful crew, fair prices and work finished on time, without naming a specific trade.
The common thread is not a particular product or price. It is that the work was explained beforehand and the job site was left tidy, which matches how we try to run every job. Our About page explains the process in order.
How to read these reviews, and any contractor's
We quote every review that has text, exactly as the customer wrote it, with the reviewer’s first name and last initial and the service where the customer named one. Eleven reviews were on our Google Business Profile on September 15, 2026, and one of them is a star rating with no text. Check the profile yourself, and read any contractor’s reviews for dates, specifics and how the company responds.
Reviews are only useful when you can trust them, so here is exactly what is on this page.
- Source: our Google Business Profile, pulled on September 15, 2026. Reviews added since then are not shown here.
- Count: 11 reviews, all five stars. One has no text, so ten appear in full.
- Wording: unedited. We did not shorten, correct or combine anything.
- Names: first name and last initial only.
What to look for in any contractor’s reviews
- Specifics. A review that names the job, the problem and what the crew did is harder to fake than one that says “great service.”
- Dates. A steady stream over months is a better sign than a burst.
- Replies. How a company answers an unhappy customer says more than its five-star average.
- Verification. Reviews do not replace a license check. Look up the registration on the state license verification system; ours is NJ HIC #13VH13359900.
How the reviews line up with the way we run a job
Reviewers keep mentioning four things: explanations before the work, a clean and respectful crew, finished-on-time schedules, and prices described as fair. Each maps to a deliberate step in how we run a job: the in-person inspection and written estimate, our own crew, a schedule built around permits and weather, and itemized pricing.
A review is a customer describing what they noticed. These are the four things customers noticed, and the part of our process each one reflects.
- “Explained before the job started.” This is the hands-on inspection and the written, itemized estimate. We put the scope, the materials and what could change the price on paper before any work begins.
- A clean, respectful crew. We use our own crew, not rotating subcontractors, and we plan protection and daily cleanup into every job, from tarps over plantings to a magnetic sweep for nails.
- Finished on time. We schedule around permits, inspections and weather, and we start paperwork before materials are ordered so nothing waits on a form.
- Fair prices. An itemized estimate lets you compare what each contractor includes. Several customers said they compared quotes.
The About page walks through the process step by step, and each service page lists what is included.
Why these reviews are real, and how to leave one
The Federal Trade Commission’s rule on consumer reviews, effective October 21, 2024, prohibits fake or false reviews and paying for five-star reviews. Ours are quoted from our own Google profile and nothing on this page was written by us. If we worked on your home, you can leave a review on our Google profile through the link below.
The FTC’s Q&A on its consumer reviews rule explains the line plainly: fake or false reviews are prohibited, paying for five-star reviews is prohibited, and businesses cannot use intimidation or unfounded legal threats to keep reviews from being posted. We follow it by doing the simple thing: the reviews on this page are the ones customers posted themselves, copied exactly.
If we have worked on your home, honest feedback of any kind is welcome on our Google Business Profile. Specifics help the next homeowner most: what was done, how the crew behaved, and whether the job matched the estimate. If something went wrong, tell us first at (862) 271-1225 so we can make it right.
