New Builds & Custom Home Renovations
Founded by husband and wife team Eric and Rachel Starrett, Starrett Design Build (SDB) evolved out of the desire to deliver a better, more integrative renovation experience and quality end product in the residential construction industry. Licensed, bonded and insured in DE, PA and MD, SDB believes that the best results occur when all team members involved collaborate holistically from the project’s conception. So we brought the design and build processes under one roof, allowing for more efficiency, quality, cost-control, and attention to detail.
Our team consists of highly skilled tradespeople and industry professionals who are passionate about transforming your home into a stunning space with great care paid to the client experience throughout. From the design concept, through the end of construction, we aim to wow our clients with our care, our transparency, and our expertise.
A design build firm takes care of both the design and construction of a home project. Instead of juggling all design and construction professionals working in their own silos, you’ll have one integrated team (architect, designer and construction team) and one point of contact from start to finish, which allows for better cost-control, less wasted time and money, a better experience overall, and a better project end result. We are proud to say that we have many repeat clients.
We are serious about good kitchen design. A kitchen needs to not only be beautiful and timeless, so your investment stands the test of time, but the functionality needs have to be right for the way that your unique family lives and cooks. We have been designing kitchens since 2015, and leave no stone unturned when it comes to the questions we ask and the offerings we suggest, so your kitchen functions as beautifully as it looks.
Functionality needs are incredibly important in bathrooms as well as kitchens. We start and end our days in our bathrooms. We believe they should be a place of tranquility and inspiration, as well as perfectly functional for how you want to live. Our integrative process dives down into aesthetics, and functionality needs, during which we are providing cost-control and guidance, helping you make decisions based on how much you invest into your space.
We do many additions these days for families moving in an aging loved one, or families wanting more usable space, whether that means one story or two; for offices, bedrooms, gyms, sunrooms or bathrooms – even a few golf simulators. We take great care to design a tastefully done addition that looks as if it were always a part of your original home.
A new build is an exciting process to move through. Many don’t realize just how many decisions and selections there will be if they have not been through the process of building new before. We take pride in our efficient process that walks you through every step of the way and each selection, with tracked costing as we go. We put so much work into getting a new home exactly right for our clients, aesthetically, and most importantly, functionally for how they live. In the construction phase, our skilled, highly vetted tradespeople work to bring your home to reality. We do not believe in cutting corners.
