Additions Before & After Photos

Anticipating family members moving in within 4 months, an In-Law Suite was necessary to accommodate the expanding family in Ellicott City. Starcom Design Build constructed an In-Law Suite attached to the original home. The Addition has a good space for the Family Member moving in while also keeping the style of the original home. 

The solution was to add a 1200 sq foot addition with a new 250 sq foot screened porch. The new addition includes a full kitchen, full primary bath on the first floor and a full guest bath on the second floor, a study on the second floor, a primary bedroom and walk in closet on the first floor, a laundry room in the hallway, and an open front porch. 

The end result is a beautiful and cohesive addition that blends well with the original home yet is an independent and private space. The Homeowners were pleased with the end result and are able to care for their elderly Family Members. 

Family wanted to expand their home with a seamless addition to their home. Starcom was able to construct a space conscious addition to give more room for the home owners. 

An additional of 960 sq feet was added to this home for the purpose of an In-Law Suite. The Removal of the Mudroom, Deck, Railings, and Stairs were needed to convert this Deck into a livable In-Law Suite was needed. 12 Pella Encompass Energy Star Windows with Grids, Double Hung Windows, Patio Door with no Grids, and 1 Velux 2x6 Fixed Skylight for the Kitchen offer natural lighting and a great view of the backyard.

The cozy addition provides the extra space for an In-Law Suite without detracting from the main 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Transforming this home from outdated and dingy, to new and contemporary.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!

Our clients came to us looking to update the look of the front of their house. They decided that the addition of a portico would be just what their home needed to give it a fresh new look.

The family owned a traditional style home and wanted elements that were keeping with that particular style. Above the front door, at the top of the portico, they added a railing that fit right in with the style the home already had. The new railing framed the beautiful arched transom window they had above their front door. They also wanted large columns for a grand and opulent look. The portico was all white and really stood out amongst the brick exterior of the home.

For the porch below the portico and for the walkway we installed beautiful bluestone pavers that were keeping with the style of the home; and also offset the blue shutters the family already had. As the final touch the family switched out their old blue door for a beautiful wooden door with decorative glass. It was the perfect addition to this upgrade that punched up the look of the home.

Now that the family’s home has a ton of curb appeal they are in love with the look of their home. They said, “The front porch set our home off. We wish we did this project 15 years ago!”
