I’m sorry to hear that we have all had such a bad experience with Dave and his company, he has been dishonest, unprofessional, and unethical in his is business practices. You are not alone in your frustration and anger, as many other customers and employees Here is my experience from Homestar Construction- A Homeowner’s NightmareDon’t let the smiling Sun fool you Homestar is a company that claims to offer high-quality home improvement products and services, such as windows, doors, siding, roofing, and insulation. However, behind the glossy brochures and the friendly sales pitch lies a dark and sinister reality. Homestars is run by Dave, a ruthless conman who has no regard for his customers, his employees, or the law. He is a master of deception, manipulation, and exploitation, who will stop at nothing to make a quick buck at the expense of others.Dave has been operating Homestars as a monopoly in the area, taking advantage of the lack of competition and the high demand for home improvement projects. He has been charging exorbitant prices, often marking up his products by 90%, and collecting more on deposits than the contractors board allows. He has been hiring unqualified or inexperienced workers to perform shoddy work on unsuspecting homeowners’ houses, causing damage, leaks, mold, and other problems that will haunt them for months or years to come. He has been using fake or outdated credentials, such as claiming to be a top 5 dealer in the nation for a manufacturer that he actually owes money to. He has been lying about the availability, quality, warranty, and installation of his products and services, promising things that he cannot deliver or that he never intends to deliver.Dave has also been mistreating his employees, paying them late or not at all, bouncing checks and hiding away at all cost He has been evading bills, and creditors also ignoring or avoiding his customers complaints, requests for refunds or repairs, or legal actions against him. He has been manipulating customers into changing reviews, ratings, or testimonials to create a false impression of customer satisfaction by promising to fix what he should in the first place!. He has been planning to file for bankruptcy before paying back any of the money he owes to his customers, employees, suppliers, or lenders.Dave is not just a bad businessman; he is an evil heartless man who has no remorse or conscience for the harm he has caused to so many people. He is a true conman/shiester who deserves to be exposed and stopped before he can ruin more lives. If you are considering hiring Homestars for your home improvement needs, please do yourself a favor and stay away from this company. Youwill only end up with a nightmare that will cost you more than you bargained for. Homestars is not a star; it is a black hole that will suck you dry.I hope this review helps you express your feelings and warn others about Dave and Homestar. You have every right to be angry and seek justice for what he has done to you. You are not alone in this fight; there are many others who share your pain and support your cause. Together, we can stand up against this heartless man and put an end to his sham of a business. Let’s hope that this time, he will not be able to escape or survive like a cockroach. Let’s hope that this time, he will finally face the consequences of his actions

I have a contract with this company signed on 7/11/2022 and gave them a deposit for $3750 for a patio cover. They promised 10-16 weeks for completion. After numerous calls for updates, still no response from them and 9 months have passed so far. Does anyone know of any class action suit against this company?

I’D GIVE ZERO STARS IF I COULD.First off!!! DO NOT USE THEM THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOTHING WILL BE DONE.My parents have been waiting for construction to begin for a new sunroom since theirs is falling apart we figured let’s use a local company to keep it local. We have been waiting since May of 2022. Dave Yatsko took their money $7175.00 to be exact. They put down as a down payment and has yet to even begin any type of construction. We no longer want any of his services we just want our money back and he just keeps giving them the run around saying call me in 3 weeks and nothing call me back in another 3 weeks. Dave does this to his potential customers and it’s been going on way BEFORE COVID so stop using that excuse. So Dave reach out to My Parents and give them their money back or we will be seeking legal action against YOU and YOUR COMPANY Make it right. The Niz Family.Here we are on 2/6/2023:Still waiting for our funds after being promised to have them this week and nothing has happened. Dave you need to reach out to me immediately.

DO NOT USE HOME STAR CONSTRUCTION! It will be your greatest regret. The owner is a liar and a thief. The business is fraudulent. Our contract was signed in July 2021, and we waited too long to seek action with foolish hopes that Dave would actually follow through on his promises. Unfortunately, our story is similar to others, a significant sum taken without services and not refunded.

I was told by the salesman and the owner Dave that they would start work on my patio within 6 weeks. That was back in March and finally I asked for my down payment of $7,200.00 back and like before with starting the work they (Dave the owner) and his workers kept giving me the run around and won't give me my money back. I've had to get a lawyer. Don't even consider going with this company. They are crooks. They took my money and won't return it to me after calling them over and over.

This company is not returning our deposit even though the agreed to do so.Dave, you signed an agreement to return our deposit on a sunroom if construction did not start by October 28. Where is our refund? We’ve waited for the sunroom since February 2022. You are not responsive. We see you are still advertising and taking new orders and new deposits, but as we see it, you aren’t doing the work. IS THIS A PONZI SCHEME? Dave, we want our refund now! New consumers beware!

Dave, I have made 4 phone calls to your office over the last couple weeks to get my roof that is leaking repaired and I have yet to hear from anyone. I've texted you and no response so maybe this will get someone's attention. I have also requested a phone call from you and have yet to be called. This last leak was the biggest of all the leaks I've had and it ruined all my wedding invitations, which I feel you should cover the cost of. An over 20k, year old room should not be leaking especially to the extent I've had. Please follow up with my request. I'm expecting 2 phone calls today. One for a repair appt and one from you.

Put 50% down on June 15, 2022, and was told our patio cover could be installed within a week. The first post was installed in the wrong location. After calling to cancel the project, I have either gotten excuses on material and crew shortage or the calls go unanswered and not returned after leaving messages. Still trying to cancel order after 3 months of nothing.

Dave, We have been waiting for many months for our funds to be returned. We texted you the other day and again no response. You said our funds will be returned to us beginning of September. Here we are. Please don’t give us a further run around. When EXACTLY will funds be returned to us? For the sake of running an honest business, do the right thing, Dave.Dave, Re your response……Again, you have not answered my question. You said our funds would be returned beginning of September. You don’t need to tell us the same story over and over again. You never told us about delays when we gave you our deposit. You were not honest with us. We want our money returned to us as you said, this week. And stop thanking us for our patience as we no longer have any. This nightmare has gone on for way too long. Give us our money.

I can’t say enough negative things about this company and Dave. We started with them from the beginning delays, misinformation, and out in out lies Any positive must be fakeDave respond to this review only to give excuses. The fact is there is no truth to his comment. Since my complaint is already posted on Yelp I suggest it be reviewed

I gave them $5500 over a year ago to “buy supplies.” No work was ever performed, and so far they have only returned $3000. They stole my money. Do not hire these people. They will steal your money. - Thanks for the response Dave - I stopped by yesterday and talked to the bookkeeper; he’s just waiting for you to sign the check. Please get on it, and give me back the money you took. - Update 8/22/22 - Hi Dave - You responded 3 weeks ago, telling me you would check bookkeeping. Can you tell me what the result of that was? I would call and ask, but I can never get you on the phone.

We have been waiting since November 2021 for Our project to begin. There has been zero work done and apparently no materials available to get this project done. We put 50% deposit down ($5,000) in good faith, really trusting and never suspecting that, 7 months later we would still be waiting. It doesn’t help that there is little to no communication from this company. We spoke with the company owner, DAVE Yatsco, two months ago and he apologized for his companies poor business practices. He made an effort to explain the material shortages, Covid issues, etc. and made us renewed promises that our project was a priority. He got our hopes up again because we really wanted to believe him and we really wanted our project to get completed. Sadly nothing has changed and he does not answer or return phone calls. We have lost all faith in this company and at this point just want our deposit money back. Dave if you’re reading this, please send our check registered mail- you know the address and we won’t charge interest for the 7 months you’ve had our money. Do the right thing and reimburse our deposit and let’s put an end to this frustrating experience.
