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.

We’ve all heard the saying, “No matter where I serve my guests, they seem to like my kitchen best.” When this kitchen was originally built, that saying was not kept in mind. The dark colors and low soffited cupboards created a smothered-in feeling that was less than inviting. Friends and family might want to chat while meals are being prepared, but that just can’t happen in this small space. The chef might want to watch TV while cooking but the view is blocked. In addition to that, the appliances were inconveniently located and made kitchen use convoluted and frustrating.

This kitchen design just isn’t working – Star Builders can fix it.

First — demolition! Out with the old carpet, linoleum, soffit, cupboards, appliances, etc. Now the new cabinetry can be installed and appliances can be reinstalled and located properly for ease of use when working in the kitchen, as well as dry-wall, painting, and roughing in the electrical, plumbing, and mechanical.

The clients had so much fun watching the transformation of their kitchen take place. It went from a boring, drab old caterpillar to a brilliant and inviting butterfly. Seeing the new cabinetry, laminate floating floor, and 3cm quartz counter top was thrilling – just like Christmas morning.

This kitchen has a completely different feel. It’s open, airy, bright, cheerful and inviting. The newly installed bar and correctly installed appliances creates a much larger floor footprint. Conversations, TV watching, etc. can now easily take place.

Guests really will like this kitchen best!
