Whole House Remodel in Silver Spring, MD

Before	After

This 89-year-old home had an awkward front entry and the kitchen was outdated and too small. They were interested in numerous projects and updates. We listened to what the homeowners were hoping to accomplish and our design team worked closely with them to create amazing results.

Even though they had their kitchen remodeled fifteen years prior, they wanted more space and style.  Using Norcraft cabinetry, Paradiso granite for countertops and tile flooring helped us reach our goal.  An under-mount sink was installed and Kohler products were used.  The new Pella windows add flare and allow abundant natural light.  Our customers bought their own appliances and that helped with budgeting.  While on vacation in Italy, they had purchased pendant light covers but we had to find fixtures to fit these covers.  Now the lights are a perfect accent.  We also needed a load-bearing solution but did not want a column right in the middle of the room.  A complex beam system eliminated that problem. 

The existing guest bath had a small bath with shower and a pedestal sink. Storage was non-existent.  We were able to expand the square footage of this room to make it less cramped.  The new guest bath now has a full-size bath, shower, an under-mount sink and a new vanity.  The customer now has ample counter and cabinet space.  Beautiful Travertine flooring was also installed. 

The homeowners wished to enlarge their foyer.  Whenever they had visitors, their 3 x 4 foyer landing was too crowded.  With a step down to the main floor, it also was unsafe.  We expanded their foyer area, installed slate flooring and built a much needed closet. 

 Our customers wanted a designated area for an office/work area but with the existing home, it was impossible.  We suggested a two-story addition.  The second-story would bump out their son’s bedroom and give him more space.  The entire first floor would be the home office they dreamed of.  The room is warm and inviting with Pella windows and Bruce Butterscotch hardwood flooring.  To make this addition not so traditional and to add distinction, we suggested a turret-shaped structure. 

To add “curb appeal” to the front of their home, we built a beautiful portico and front porch.  A Provia cherry wood grain front door with leaded glass is a classy focal point.  Our company did have to install a drywell system in the side yard to eliminate a runoff system in the yard. 

The design and craftsmanship of this project is exceptional.  With all the beautiful changes and upgrades, the value of this home has been enhanced.  The homeowners are very happy and delighted with the exquisite transformation!

Multiple Level Addition, Silver Spring, MD

Before	After

Expanding someone's home can be a challenging experience. With Starcom at work the planning, designing, and execution can come with ease. The Client was looking for an easy solution to their growing need for an Multiple Level Addition to their home. The Family needed more space for their elderly family moving back into town. The joining Families wanted to live close to each other while maintaining their own space. 

The Addition would be Multi Story and include two Bedrooms, Bathroom, and a fully furnished Kitchen. The Home's back was where the most visual changes were when adding the Addition. However, despite the most visual changes were to the back that left the front originally intact, the Family also wanted a New Roof, Siding, and Windows. 

The Multiple Story Addition was the perfect decision to help the two families support one each other while maintaining their own space. The elderly Family moving in felt comfortable moving in.  

Sunroom Addition, Silver Spring, MD

Before	After

Small addition that would feature as a functioning Sunroom Addition with a small Kitchen was what this family was looking for. They wanted the Addition to extend off of the home into the back yard and have windows.  Starcom Design & Build was on the scene in no time. After some design choices and planning, the work was underway in no time!

The Addition would seamlessly match the home down to even the same roof designs. Inside the Sunroom would be a furnished Kitchen and Family area with the view of the back yard. This view was not just a view but also an easy way to get onto the back deck! The Unique roofing style was not the only special design about this home but also the one big window looking out into the back yard. The window put in at a 45 horizontal latitude that gave the square home more unique style while utilizing how big the window could be. The windows offer natural light into the home and give a nice view of the backyard.  

 The finished result was a stunning small addition with a big personality. The Family loved that the design to match the original home while offering more space for family activities and making their deck fitting with their home.
