The 7 Steps of Your Remodel
You’ve been thinking about your remodeling project for a long time and you’re ready to begin. Excellent. It’s going to be great!
We pride ourselves on consistent, stand-out, and matchless work that you’ll be proud to show your family and friends. Here’s what you can expect regardless of the project:
1. Define your remodel needs. It is so important to clearly understand the underlying motive for the change so that the desired outcome is realized. Sometimes, if a good discussion with your contractor doesn’t happen in the beginning, what you get may be what the contractor heard you say, but may not be at all what you really meant to say or actually wanted. Clear, precise communication and understanding is the key to happiness for all.
2. Plan out your ideas. We will draw the design pictures with you, go with you to pick out materials, and offer guidance as to what will and won’t work for you.
3. Order the materials. We order, follow-up, and expedite shipping and delivery to coordinate with your job start-date. This is crucial and we are very good at it.
4. Demolition! This can be fun for the workers, but it’s only fun for you if we’ve coordinated the haulers and facilities to remove all the debris each day to leave your home as clean as possible. Again, we are very good at this.
5. Rough-in. We install the plumbing and electrical and anything else that might go behind the drywall. The excitement is building as you can begin to see the new project take shape.
6. Finish. Install drywall and apply the paint. Install fixtures such as lighting, sink or tub faucets, toilets, tile, or showers. This is F U N.
7. Completion. We do a final walk through together reviewing our initial discussion and looking for any last touch-up needs before cleaning up one last time and saying good-bye…until next time.

The Master Bath with Organic Flair
A small spaces does not mean that you have to feel cramped and smothered. The right design can bring light and a larger architectural foot print to even the smallest amount of square footage. Star Builders can help.
This bathroom was dated in many ways. The soffit over the shower had to go. The ceilings had to be raised. The shower and toilet area had to be redesigned to be more open and pleasing to the eye. Star Builders got to work.
As with all remodels it begins with demolition and can resemble swiss cheese as holes are cut to remove old plumbing and electrical units. The shower unit is cut out, carpet is pulled, dry-rotted boards are replaced, and the vent is moved from in front of the door to make better use of the house heating system.
The fun begins with the custom shower. We create an open space with a half-wall of 1/2″ glass and full door as well as walls of marble. Marble is a natural stone and is inconsistent ~ that is what makes it exciting to work with. The whole process slows down and there is a careful effort to let everything work together. It becomes organic as we let the product guide the installer. The result is absolutely stunning.
The new tile floor has an off-set brick pattern which opens up the entire bathroom space. We trimmed it in the same marble that was used in the shower which adds a splash of organic flair that is quite pleasing to the eye.
We have extremely happy clients – always the goal.
