Where Every Project Begins

Phase 1: Architectural &
Interior Design Services

Before construction ever begins, every AK Renovations project goes through a complete design phase. We turn your vision into a precise, buildable plan — closing every material and layout decision before a single tool comes out.

Phase 2 — Our Renovation Specialties

Four Specialties.
Perfected Over 27 Years.

After Design Phase is complete, your project moves into construction — in one of our four areas of specialty. We don't do everything. We do four things at a level most contractors can't touch.

Most Requested

We Do Our Best Work for Homeowners Who...

Value quality of work over lowest price

You've seen cheap work. You know what it costs to fix it. You're investing in your home, and you want it done right the first time.

Have a project budget of $25,000 or more

Our projects typically range from $40,000 to $150,000. We work with homeowners who are serious about the outcome, not looking for a quick patch.

Want one person managing everything

Adam handles the design, the trades, the schedule, and the communication. You won't be coordinating a dozen subcontractors on your own.

Expect communication throughout the project

We send updates before you have to ask. If something changes, you hear about it the same day — not after the fact.

Are ready to start within the next 6 months

We book out in advance. Homeowners who are serious about their timeline get priority consideration and a faster path to a start date.

Care about a clean, respectful job site

Our crew treats your home the way you'd want a contractor to treat your home. Every day ends with a clean site. Always.


Not sure if you're a fit? Call Adam at (330) 942-4242 and ask. He'd rather have a 5-minute conversation than waste your time or his.

Our Approach

The Difference You'll
Feel From Day One

We've heard the horror stories. Contractors who disappear. Job sites left a mess. Timelines that blow out. Budgets that balloon. None of that happens here, and we mean that in every sense.

We Listen First

Every project starts with understanding how you actually live, not a template consultation. We learn your home, your family, and your vision before we ever draw a line.

Immaculate Job Sites

Your home is not a construction yard. We protect your floors, seal off dust, clean up every single day, and leave your home better than we found it, even in the middle of a project.

Proactive Communication

You'll never have to chase us down. We send updates before you have to ask. Every decision point is explained clearly so you're always confident and never guessing.

AI-Powered Efficiency

We use the most advanced project management and AI tools in the industry to keep your project on schedule and on budget, passing that efficiency directly back to you.

Community First

We live here. Our kids go to Woodridge schools. We're invested in these neighborhoods, not just as a business, but as neighbors who care about the homes and families we work for.

A Process Unlike Any Other

Built Different.
On Purpose.

Most contractors wing it. We’ve built an entire system — technology, communication protocols, and a dedicated client portal — so nothing falls through the cracks and you’re never left in the dark. This isn’t how most renovations go. That’s the point.

No Sales Pitch. Just Honesty.

We come to your home for a real conversation, not a pressure pitch. We walk the space with you, listen to your vision, and give you honest feedback about what’s realistic for your budget and timeline. You leave the first meeting with clarity — not a vague “we’ll get back to you.”

Fixed Prices. Full Transparency.

Every project gets a detailed written proposal with a fixed price and zero mystery costs. For selections like tile, countertops, and fixtures, we provide curated shopping lists with budget guidance before you ever set foot in a showroom. Compare our proposal against anyone. We want you to.

Technology That Eliminates Surprises.

We use AI-powered tools and a custom-built client portal that keeps you informed at every stage. Your portal is your project command center — scope, progress, selections, and communication, all in one place. No chasing down your contractor. No wondering what’s happening in your own home.

Expert-Guided Selection. Every Choice.

We don’t hand you a tile catalog and walk away. We guide every selection — tile, countertops, hardware, lighting, fixtures — with expert recommendations that keep your budget and design vision aligned. We’ll show you options at every price point and tell you honestly which upgrades are worth it.

Daily Updates. Spotless Job Sites.

During the build, you receive proactive daily updates. Our job sites are clean and organized — your home is treated with the same respect we’d give our own. You’re never left wondering what happened today or what’s coming tomorrow.

The Reveal — and a Relationship for Life.

Every project ends with a final walkthrough where we review every detail together. We don’t call it done until you’re completely thrilled. And through our sister company, Hometown Builders Club, we become your single point of contact for every home project and maintenance need — so you never have to search for a contractor again.

Meet Adam Kilgore

Built by Hand.
Rooted in Community.

I've been remodeling homes in Northeast Ohio since 1999. Not as a franchise. Not as a regional chain. As a local craftsman who knows these neighborhoods, knows these homeowners, and knows the standards that the most thoughtfully maintained homes in Summit County deserve.

My wife Erin and I raise our four kids here in Cuyahoga Falls. Our children go to Woodridge schools. We're part of this community, not just a contractor passing through it. When I take on a project in Hudson or Bath or Fairlawn, I'm working on the kind of home I want to be proud of for the next 40 years as I drive past it.

I've partnered with local trade school programs to bring high school students into real projects, because I believe this craft is worth passing on. Great remodeling isn't just about materials and technique, it's about caring enough to do it right.

If you're looking for someone who will listen to you, respect your home, and deliver work that genuinely exceeds your expectations, I'd love to meet you.

Common Questions

Straight answers about what it's like to work with us.

How much does a kitchen remodel cost in Summit County?

Kitchen transformations in Summit County typically range from $40,000 to $150,000 depending on the size, materials, and scope of work. We provide detailed, transparent pricing before any work begins with no surprises along the way. During your consultation Adam will walk you through a realistic range for your specific vision and home.

How long will construction take in my home?

Most of our projects run 4 to 6 weeks of actual in-home construction. That shorter timeline is possible because we complete all design decisions, material selections, and planning before a single tool comes out. When we start construction, we move efficiently and predictably with no costly mid-project changes or delays.

How do you keep job sites clean during an active remodel?

Daily cleanup is non-negotiable. We use dust containment barriers, floor protection throughout the home, and dedicated staging areas to keep the rest of your house livable. Every crew member cleans up completely at the end of each workday. Your home is not a construction yard to us. It is your family's living space and we treat it that way from day one through the final reveal.

Are you licensed and insured in Ohio?

Yes. AK Renovations is fully licensed and carries comprehensive general liability and workers compensation insurance in the state of Ohio. We are happy to provide certificates of insurance before any project begins.

Do I need to move out during construction?

For most kitchen and bathroom remodels, you can stay in your home. We use dust containment barriers, staged work schedules, and daily cleanup to keep disruption minimal. We'll be upfront during your consultation if your specific project requires any temporary relocation.

What does your process look like from first call to finished project?

It starts with a consultation and site visit, then we put together a detailed written proposal with transparent pricing. Once you approve, we finalize all design decisions and material selections before a single tool comes out. Construction runs 4 to 6 weeks on average. You'll have direct communication with Adam throughout — no middlemen, no surprises.

How do I get started?

Call or text us at (330) 942-4242 or fill out the contact form on this page. We'll schedule a no-pressure consultation at your home and take it from there.
