Colin has handled three projects for me in the past three years: A 9-foot solid American cherry mantel built to my design (see photo); some general carpentry that included the challenging installation of a new kitchen vent and hood; and the renovation and reconstruction of a nondescript 20-year-old deck into a structure far more striking and useful.If you care about design and workmanship (and I do), Grey Star is a great option. Its not cheap, but worthwhile: Colin and his crew work deliberately and carefully to deliver an excellent result. And if theres a glitch, you can depend on Colins commitment to make it right.Ive recommended Grey Star to others, and I certainly recommend it to you.

I used Colin and his crew to repair some rot (more than anticipated) on the back of my house. I found the company through several recommendations from my neighborhood on Nextdoor.com. Great crew of people, keen to please and do a quality job, This was a way better personal experience than I am use to getting from the average contractor. I would gladly use again

I have known Colin for a very long time. His work is genuinely amazing, an artist as well as heavy weight renovator. An expert builder and excellent person.

We recently used Grey Star WoodWorks for a bathroom remodel, and I was incredibly pleased with every step of the process. The tile work was meticulous, and looks wonderful. They also did a great job of refurbishing the original vanity that we wanted to keep. I highly recommend and will use this company in the future.

Colin is an expert craftsman who knows his stuff! He has decades of experience and grew up with a local builder-contractor who continues to do fine work in the area. Having worked with him and knowing msome of his clients, I have found him to be of exceptional integrity and just a down right awesome person! If you need solid work done, Colin will do it right.

Grey Star did a kitchen remodel: new cabinets and appliances, including extending a soffit and electrical work installing an exhaust. Colin and all his crew are intelligent, easy to work with and attentive to detail. You will not worry that something is not going to be done right when Grey Star is performing the work. They are also very flexible with timing, our counters were delayed but they worked into their schedule so we did not get unduly delayed further. Beautiful, rock solid work! When we do our bathroom we will call them.

Grey Star Woodworks recently did a kitchen remodel for us. Colin and his crew exceeded our expectations with the high quality of their work, professionalism, and attention to detail. We will definitely use their services in the future. Highly recommended.

Ive had the opportunity to work with Colin on new construction sites so I can honestly say that he does an excellent job and will not hesitate to go above and beyond to maintain full customer satisfaction. I highly recommend Grey Star woodworks for any future projects you may have.-Shane E. BarclayOwner/operator @ Barclay Excavating

I have known Colin for a number of years. He has always been a very honest and dependable man. He is one of the few true craftsmen currently doing work in the triangle area. He has a very extensive, traditional background and brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to each of his customers. This allows him to provide solutions that other, less experienced contractors, would never be able to give. If you need some top notch, high quality custom work done, I couldnt recommend anyone else. No matter what you may need done, Colin and Grey Star Woodworks will get it done right the first time, every time.

Grey Star Woodworks built a wonderful huge deck, tore off old siding, insulated the walls, installed a new window, installed new siding, and installed some wood flooring at my house. They did a quality job and I am very pleased with the results.

Honest, reliable and hardworking. Colin is very talented and really knows his stuff. Highly recommend.

Colin has always been a stand up guy. Honest and up front. I would trust him to build just about anything for me.

I have dealt with other companies before but nothing compares to the level of serves I have received with Colin. I have been looking for someone with as much attention to detail like they have for a long long time!

Colin Starnes, of Grey Star Woodwork and Designs, is a gifted woodworker with a diverse set of interests and talents. Trustworthy and straightforward, he conducts his business with professionality and a great sense of urgency. He not only will build you a deck but he also crafts beautiful jewelry and brilliant cutting boards.

The passion, and attention to detail Colin and his family put into their work is few and far between. It was so rewarding to see the transformation of our kitchen by folks who execute their craft with such gladnesss and professionalism.

Colin and his team did an outstanding job with several odd jobs for our house involving deck lighting, baseboards, and windows. Great communication, fair pricing, and outstanding work.

Working with Grey Star Woodworks was an absolute pleasure. They were knowledgable, friendly, and really good at what they do. If youre in need of any home renovations, I highly recommend Colin and his team.

My dad built us a awesome fort! he’s awesome

Colin and Grey Star are a real anomaly these days - a combination of great talent and fair and honest pricing. Weve worked with them on both commercial and residential work and they excel at both.

Definitely my go to for custom building projects, great attention to detail and quality craftsmanship!

I had a very unique and detailed passive solar greenhouse project to handle. I had an idea written on a piece of paper when I showed it to Colin. He helped me make it a reality. His prices are fare, his work is top notch, he stayed on schedule, and it was nice to see his interest and excitement to be doing a project that was a little different then most. My wife and I we’re so impressed with his work that we have used greystar in all of our projects since. Colin and crew has replaced flooring in our home, and has redone our front porch and back deck. If he sees an issue he is honest about what needs to be done and has not under quoted price which is appreiciated. This is my first google review, but I have been so impressed with this small local company that I felt I had to write an honest review about a great company, good man, and awesome father. I highly recommend greystar for any project you have.

Solid crew and solid work. I would use them again.
