From front-porch friendly homes created to meet the needs of today’s families to luxurious executive retreats, Amstar has covered the entire spectrum. The homes and communities Amstar builds are the culmination of decades of experience on the part of Amstar president David R. McEntire and his team of building professionals. Their commitment to quality construction and customer service allows Amstar to offer homebuyers unparalleled value combined with superior service after the sale, which has also earned them a perfect five star rating from J.D.
