Additions Before & After Photos

Transforming this home from outdated and dingy, to new and contemporary.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!

Home Additions can offer many valuable opportunities for expanding a living space. Whether to enhance comfort, accommodate growing families or to meet specific lifestyle changes. The Homeowners required a dedicated space to provide specialized care for their daughter. Their home is already crowded and needing more space; they turned to Starcom Design & Build for answers. 

Our Team responded promptly initiating the project. With a comprehensive planning phase led by our experienced Designer & Project Manager, the project would be underway shortly after. Together, with the family, our Team developed a customized design that seamlessly blended with the original home's style. Every detail, including the Bathroom, was carefully selected based on the family's preferences. 

Features of the completed Addition was the bedroom, Bathroom with Bath/Shower, ample Storage space, and a small cozy Sunroom overlooking the backyard. With the final punch list completed, the family now enjoys the space peacefully. The space is not only for looks that work well matching with the original design of their home but also functionality of the space for the Family's needs. 

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.
