People Taking Care of People
Sand Star Services is a general contractor serving Galveston & Harris County — building and restoring homes and commercial properties with fair pricing, clear communication, and work done to engineering and windstorm code.
Who we are
Sand Star was founded by people who were tired of contractors who treated customers and workers like line items. We do it differently: efficient, quality craftsmanship at fair and reasonable rates, with the patience to help you understand exactly what you are paying for.
From full home renovations to commercial maintenance and storm recovery, every project is finished to the smallest detail — safe, compliant, and built to last in our coastal climate.
What we do
Tell us whether your project is for a home or a property you operate, and we'll guide you to the right options, timelines, and budget ranges.
What to expect
No surprises. Here is the path nearly every project follows, from your first call to a clean final walkthrough.
We listen to your goals and visit the site for a free, no-pressure walkthrough — including an optional 360° property assessment that flags what's in scope, what needs immediate attention, and what to plan for later.
You receive a clear, itemized proposal you understand — with planning ranges turned into firm numbers.
Permits, inspections, and daily clean-up, with progress updates so you always know where things stand.
Code and windstorm documentation, a final walkthrough, and a finished space we both stand behind.
Fair pricing, explained
It matters to us that you feel comfortable with the work you receive and understand where prices come from. That is why multiple Galveston-area properties rely on us — fair, equitable pricing, clearly explained.
Use these planning ranges to budget early. Every job ends with a firm quote after a free walkthrough.
