Silverton’s design-build remodeling team
Whole-home remodels, kitchens, baths, and additions for Silverton homeowners. Designed and built under one roof.
or call (503) 409-1975
Star Builders is a licensed Oregon general contractor (CCB# 182498), a NARI member, and an award-winning design-build remodeling contractor serving Silverton, Salem, and the Mid-Willamette Valley since 2008. We handle whole-home remodels, kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, and home additions across Silverton and the surrounding country properties.
Silverton’s housing stock is one of the oldest in the valley: nearly a quarter of the city’s homes were built before 1940. That means Victorian and Craftsman-era houses with the character everyone wants and the kitchens, bathrooms, and systems nobody does. Remodeling here is a balancing act: keep the trim, the proportions, and the soul of the house, and rebuild what is behind the walls to modern standards. That balance is exactly what a design-build team is for.
Opening up closed 1970s and 1980s layouts, with every finish coordinated in one visit at The Tile Gallery.
Primary suites and hall baths in homes where the original tile, tub, and plumbing are 40 or more years old.
Full interior updates on ranches and split-levels, and sensitive updates where the character is worth keeping.
Added square footage, including hillside lots where the addition is a structural and design problem.
Ground-up homes for families who want the design-build process from the first sketch.
Whoever you hire, look for three things: an active Oregon CCB license, a detailed fixed-price proposal instead of a rough estimate, and one person accountable for your schedule. Star Builders provides all three. The plan you approve is the plan our crews build, one project manager runs your job start to finish, and every finish is selected in one visit at The Tile Gallery, our showroom in Keizer.
In Silverton, experience with older homes matters more than almost anywhere in the valley. Exterior work in the historic district can require Historic Landmarks Commission review, and pre-1940 houses hide surprises: knob-and-tube wiring, undersized framing, and layers of past remodels. A contractor who works on these homes regularly plans for that up front, in the design and the budget, instead of discovering it mid-project.

Star Builders is part of the Star Team, a group of locally owned businesses that regularly work together to support residential projects from start to finish.
Each business operates independently, but together we share the same standards for professionalism, craftsmanship, and communication. This allows homeowners to work with teams who are already aligned and experienced collaborating when projects overlap.
This connection creates smoother timelines, clearer communication, and a more seamless experience for homeowners.

Every finish in these projects was selected at The Tile Gallery and installed by our own crews.

Hear from REAL homeowners
The questions Silverton homeowners ask us most before starting a remodel.
It depends on scope, the age of the home, and material selections. Rather than guessing, we develop your project first: an in-home consultation, showroom material selections, and a detailed fixed-price proposal built from real vendor pricing and labor. You know the actual number before construction begins, not after.
Yes. Star Builders is a licensed and bonded Oregon general contractor, CCB# 182498, a NARI member, and a Statesman Journal Mid-Willamette Gold Medal winner. We have served Silverton, Salem, and the Mid-Willamette Valley since 2008.
Yes, and it is some of our favorite work. Nearly a quarter of Silverton's homes were built before 1940, and those projects need period-appropriate detailing and a team that expects the surprises older houses hide. We keep the character worth keeping and bring everything else current. If your home is in the historic district, we also plan for any Historic Landmarks Commission review your project may need.
Kitchen and bath projects usually run several weeks of construction once materials are on site. Whole-home remodels and additions run longer. We build the full schedule into your proposal, so you know the timeline before construction starts.
The Tile Gallery, our 3,000 square foot design showroom, is a short drive from Silverton in Keizer. Every finish for your project, from tile to countertops to fixtures, is selected there in one guided visit instead of weeks of driving between vendors.
