Cabin Staining

Was knowledgeable, responsible, professional, & friendly. Customer service, evaluation of problem, & responsiveness was excellent - even responding to a weekend call. Will definitely use again related to cabin maintenance, improvements, & repairs.

Thank you for your great service. Top notch quality. Great communication and timely and neat work. We appreciate you!

Hiring Ryan and his team was one of our best decisions. We live in Maryland, and worked with Ryan to get our TN cabin up and running. He and his team were professional in every aspect from fair quotes, timeliness, craftsmanship, and reliability. I will definitely use their services again!

Professional and reliable. We used them for a business remodel and would definitely use them again.

I had a great experience with Ryan on a partial remodel at a cabin in Wears Valley! Great communication, very organized, fair price and excellent work. 🙌🏻🎉. We are already using him again at our primary residence!

Starkey is the man. I have tasked him with numerous jobs since I bought my cabin in Gatlinburg, and he has not disappointed us in the least. Fair prices, outstanding craftsmanship and outcomes. This is one hard working, competent and quick to execute business.

Ryan Starkey is a lifesaver. He helps me with maintenance of my cabins due to me being out of the country and he always comes through!

Ryan has been an absolute pleasure to work with for our STR cabin. He’s helped us with both small fixes and larger ones, and every time his work has been top-notch. Everything is done with great attention to detail, very clean, and clearly high quality. He’s also incredibly responsive, reliable, and just an all-around great person to work with. It gives us real peace of mind knowing we can count on him. Highly recommend!

I don’t think we can express how impressed we were with Ryan and his crew at Starkey’s Home Improvement. Not only did they finish on time and on budget, Ryan went above and beyond to work with us on getting the details we needed to do the project while we were not in the area. He made time for any extra or unexpected work that needed to be done during the course of our remodel. And he is a genuinely nice person to work with, we feel so lucky to have found him. We fully plan to hire him again for any future work needed, and recommend him highly

Ryan has been absolutely amazing!! On top of all of the jobs we have thrown at him for our cabin, he fixed numerous items on our "new build" that were originally not up to par. If you need any maintenance or construction work done, Ryan should be your go to for all of your projects!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Starkeys Home Improvement and Cabin Maintenance for a major renovation project on our home, and I can't recommend them highly enough! Ryan and his team completely transformed our kitchen, bathroom, and outdoor decks, turning outdated spaces into beautiful, functional areas that we absolutely love. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the entire process was smooth, stress-free, and completed on time. What truly stood out was how polite and professional Ryan was every step of the way. He listened carefully to our ideas and preferences, offered thoughtful suggestions without ever being pushy, and always communicated clearly about timelines, costs, and any decisions that needed to be made. His crew was equally respectful—cleaning up thoroughly each day, arriving on schedule, and treating our home with care as if it were their own. The quality of the workmanship is exceptional: the kitchen now has a modern, open feel with perfect cabinetry and finishes; the bathroom is perfectly functional and modern; and the decks are sturdy, attractive, and ready for years of enjoyment. No shortcuts, no surprises—just top-notch results. If you're looking for a reliable, courteous contractor who delivers outstanding home improvements (especially kitchens, bathrooms, or deck work), Starkeys is the team to call. We're already planning our next project with them! 5 out of 5 stars – thank you, Starkey's, for making our home even better! I've attached before/after pictures of the kitchen as well as after pics of the decks for reference.

They did a fantastic job and a reasonable price. I definitely recommend them! We have some other repairs that we need done and they will be the first we call!

I highly recommend Starkeys to all cabin owners! They did carpenter bee damage repairs to our cabin and we ended up having a clogged sink while they were out there. They quickly repaired the sink with zero complaints. Finding help that’s dependable in the area is extremely difficult, but I’m so thankful that I have now found Starkeys. They will be my go-to for any and all needs!

Absolutely outstanding work from Starkey’s Home Improvement! Ryan built us a beautiful deck and truly went above and beyond from start to finish. He was incredibly flexible with scheduling, always respectful of our time, and brought a level of professionalism and craftsmanship that’s hard to find these days. What really stood out was how Ryan took the time to help me explore money-saving options without compromising on quality. His ideas were thoughtful, practical, and led to a deck that looks amazing. The work was also completed very quickly — he doesn’t waste time and delivers top-notch results. Highly recommend Starkey’s Home Improvement to anyone looking for quality, integrity, and great service. I’ll definitely be calling Ryan again for future projects!

Friendly service and good workmanship

Ryan did a fantastic job changing our cabin window to meet fire code. His communication sets him apart, he shows up when he says he will, follows through on his word, and sees the project all the way to completion delivering high quality finished work.

Very good work. Takes pride and takes care of the customer. I will use them in the future. Thanks Ryan

I recently hired Ryan and his crews to replace a deck and flooring in my screened porch. His team did an excellent job and quality work. It was done in a very timely way. Ryan showed up when he said he would, and was clear in his communications throughout the process. As they were here, there were other projects that I found I needed help with, and Ryan was willing to to accommodate those concerns also. i highly recommend Starkey and Sons Home Improvement.
