Starcom Design/Build Before & After Photos

Imagine the excitement of a loving family as they embarked on a transformative journey with Starcom Design Build to create the perfect In-Law Suite for their beloved grandparents. 

The journey began with a complete overhaul of the kitchen. Starcom Design Build used Sherwin Williams Pro Mar 400 Low VOC Latex Paint to give the kitchen a fresh, vibrant look. Both beautiful and functional the space was ensuring a welcoming environment for the two families to congregate in a focal point of the home. The Kitchen backsplash was a timeless design picked by the family with the help of our designer. Modern and a timeless look with the whites and dark blues made the large Kitchen stylish and easy to clean. 

The living room was next on the list. Starcom Design Build expanded the space, creating a larger, more inviting area for the family to gather other than the Kitchen. The open-concept design allowed natural light to flood in, highlighting the cozy areas that overlooked the backyard.  

The new bathroom for the In-Law Suite had a modern tub, beautiful double sink with custom picked tiling. Tiling also was picked out for the floor to ceiling in the shower walls which added a touch of luxury and personality. 

The Family were overjoyed with the results. The In-law Suite not only provided a beautiful, functional space for their Grandparents but also brought the entire family closer together. Thanks to Starcom's devotion in quality work and professional planning, the family can stay united in a beautiful home. 

Transforming this home from outdated and dingy, to new and contemporary. We added stonework to the front of the home to draw the eye in and give some visual interest. The porch was updated and redone, and the entire house was given all new siding in a new color to really change the whole look of the home. That's curb appeal!

A dark and uninviting kitchen needed a makeover. With increased cabinet space and a bright demeanor, this Ellicott City family was extremely pleased with their new space. The white cabinetry and light granite create a seamless look that will look beautiful for years to come. 

Updating a bathroom not only allows a better look and feel, but also the newer materials last longer, safer, and more friendly for the user both using and cleaning. This bathroom was a complete change from parts to style. Neutral colored shower tile that will be beautiful for years to come. 

With a nice change in style, the home owner has since enjoyed their new bathroom remodel. The tiling is good for a shower but also looks and works well as a back splash for kitchens too! 

The possibilities to update functionality while keeping a timeless look is possible. 

Family looking to remodel the rear of their home came to Starcom Design Build for a Screened in Porch to be more open and bigger and a rework of the Deck. 

The expansion of a screen porch with a double gable design to 355 sq ft, complemented by a new 144 sq ft open deck with steps, is a substantial home improvement project. The use of Fibercon Good Life composite decking ensures a durable and low-maintenance surface, while the black aluminum screen and white post covers add a modern aesthetic. The monumental white vinyl railing with black aluminum balusters will provide safety and a visually appealing contrast.

The installation of a new white screen door enhances accessibility and ventilation. For the ceiling, T111 paneling is chosen for its sturdy, textured appearance, and the white 5” clapboard vinyl siding will give the new screen porch back wall a classic finish. The creation of four exposed beams from unfinished 1x6 lumber will add a rustic touch to the design.

A white full-view screen/glass door on the side wall leading to the deck addresses the practical need to protect against pets, while the steel insulated full-view outswing door at the dining room's back wall offers a secure and energy-efficient exit. The addition of two fixed windows on either side of this door will allow natural light to flood the dining area.

The choice of Pella Encompass white vinyl windows with low e argon glass ensures energy efficiency without compromising on style, as they lack grids for a clean, modern look. The installation of four Velux 2x6 fixed skylights with low e argon glass will invite additional daylight into the space, enhancing the ambiance.

For lighting, eight pendant lights, controlled by four switches and a dimmer, will provide adjustable illumination. Five interior outlets and one outdoor outlet facing the deck offer convenience for electrical needs. The inclusion of two ceiling fans will aid in air circulation, and three double spotlights will accentuate key features of the porch.

This comprehensive plan combines functionality with aesthetics, creating an inviting outdoor living space that is both practical and stylish.
