At Starr Construction, we are experienced in commercial remodeling as well as all phases of residential remodeling.
 
Here is a sample of the work we completed on a client's reception area in their office.
They say, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression!"
The granite countertop and custom cherry trim we added makes a striking first impression!!

Need some extra space?  At Starr Construction, we can help you with that!  This is the home of one of our "repeat" customers (when you do great work, your customers come back!).  We removed the roof and attic over one end of their home to add another bedroom to the second floor.  We encountered some insulation and structural challanges, but our many years of experience helped the job run, smoothly!
This complete transfomation was completed in only 15 working days!!

 This customer owns a beautiful home on a lake.  When the time came that they needed a more space for their family, instead of building a new home away from their lake, they decided to remodel the entire house, adding more living space to the existing home.  We converted their two car garage into a master bedroom suite by utilizing a small attached bedroom to become a master bathroom.  We removed several wall inside the home to almost double the size of the original kitchen.  Finally, we added a new garage onto the front of the home.  Our customer was able to keep their beautiful views by expanding their horizons!

              The photos below show the old kitchen and dining room being demo'd.  Our knowledge and
            experience helped us to evaluate, create and implement a solution to the load bearing wall
        which were removed.  The new kitchen will be much larger, brighter and open than the original!
          Since our customers were living in the home during the remodeling process, we took great care
      to ensure the demolition debris and dust would be retained in the work area, not spread throughout
                the rest of their beautiful home.  At Starr, we always go the extra mile for our customers!!

     At Starr, we understand the difference between a house and a home!  This customer had
purchased a beautiful log home on a large, scenic piece of property just north of Kalamazoo.  As
their family grew, they needed more room.  So, instead of moving to a new house, and losing the
beautiful home they raised their small children in, they decided to convert their garage into two
bedrooms and a bathroom for two of their now teenaged children.  Now, they can continue to
raise their family in the home they have enjoyed over the years!
