    Design & Planning

    An in-person appointment is scheduled for product selections, design, and project planning.

  3. 03

    Estimate & Project Scope

    A meeting is made to review the estimate, agree upon the project scope & sign the contract.

  4. 04

    Construction

    Construction of the project begins; carried out with craftsmanship, clear communication, and respect for your home.

  5. 05

    Final Walkthrough

    Complete a final walkthrough with the client after construction is finished to ensure client satisfaction.

Meet the founder

Cory Wiggins

Inspired by Holmes on Homes and a belief that homeowners deserve a contractor they can genuinely trust, Cory Wiggins founded 5 Star Craftsmanship with a simple goal: to make quality workmanship and reliability the standard, not the exception.

We understand that inviting a contractor into your home is a significant investment, which is why we treat every project—and every home—with the care and respect we would expect ourselves.

From the first conversation to the final detail, we prioritize honest communication, thoughtful craftsmanship, and doing the job right.

We believe the best contractors don't just leave behind beautiful spaces; they leave their clients feeling confident, comfortable, and proud of the decision they made.
