Goldstar Builders, Inc.

Goldstar Builders is a Worcester construction company that has operated since 2004 under owner Tony Nguyen, with a history rooted in new-home construction — BuildZoom's permit records show 38 permitted projects, mostly single- and two-family homes built in Worcester between 2005 and 2011 — and, more recently, kitchen and bath remodeling, renovations, and additions, according to its BBB listing. The record here is genuinely split. On one side, older reviews describe positive experiences buying a Goldstar-built home: one 2020 buyer called the company's work 'heaven' and said they never regretted the purchase, and a 2022 review praised Tony as knowledgeable and hardworking. On the other, a 2022 review from a different home buyer described crumbling bathroom-floor caulking, cracking bathroom walls, and water stains spreading across the living room ceiling within months of moving in, and called Tony unprofessional and hard to reach when problems came up. Four more reviews, all posted on the same day in June 2026, describe serious recent dissatisfaction, including one alleging that construction work fell apart within a year of completion. There's also a wrinkle in the licensing picture: BBB lists both a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and a construction supervisor license for the business, but BuildZoom's own 2018 check found that a license wasn't required for the kind of building this contractor does — the two records don't agree, and neither has been verified against a state registry here. Given the specificity and recency of the construction-defect complaints, and the unresolved licensing question, anyone considering Goldstar for a build or remodel should ask directly about current licensing, get a written scope of work, and check references from buyers whose projects were completed recently rather than relying on the company's earlier reputation alone.
