Five Starr Builders

Deeper source review / 2026-10-13

Thirteen responsibility checks.

Twelve are construction responsibilities; the thirteenth, geographic fit, records where the company says it works and is reported separately from the twelve.

Five Starr Builders is a post-frame metal-building company with a Plantersville office and a Montgomery production yard that sells barndominium shells for the Houston area. The slab, frame, sheeting and doors are in the base package. Insulation and windows are options and interior work is not described, so permits for the residence, mechanical trades, utilities and finishes need separate contractors. Company statements on these pages are not independent verification of completed work.

“Advertised” means the reviewed source names the service or responsibility. A field can name only part of a system: for example HVAC without plumbing or electrical. It does not mean the item is complete or included in every proposal. “Not established” is a research limit, not a finding that the company cannot do the work.

Post-frame metal buildings are the advertised system; barndominiums are sold as shells.

Published offer boundaries

Read the scope beside any price.

The pricing guide lists base prices for basic post-frame buildings with a slab and doors, for example $21,000–$22,200 for 30x40x10; insulation, windows and interior are extra. These are general building prices, not a barndominium package price.Source

Published examples are dated advertisements, not a quote for your property or measured local market prices.

Questions prompted by the deeper review

Resolve these before treating bids as comparable.

1. Where does your work stop: erected frame, dried-in shell or finished interior?

   The reviewed pages describe the structure more clearly than the residential completion point; fix the handoff in writing.

2. Who prepares the pad and pours the foundation or slab?

   Site and concrete responsibility changes both price and schedule; assign it before comparing bids.

3. Which permits and inspections will you obtain, and which stay with me?

   A building permit for the structure does not settle the residential trade permits.

4. Who installs and warrants insulation, mechanical trades and interior finishes?

   Those trades usually sit outside a structure price; name each contractor and warranty.

5. Can you show a completed home near my parcel with your delivered scope identified?

   A gallery photo does not show which work the company actually performed.
