The first floor is where your family actually gathers. A well-planned transformation opens the layout, connects the spaces, and makes the whole home work the way it was meant to. We've been changing how Summit County homes live and flow for 27 years.
Phase 1 — Before Construction Begins
Every project starts with Architectural & Interior Design
We finalize every material, layout, and finish decision before a single tool comes out. No mid-project surprises, no rushed choices.
What We Do
A first floor remodel can change everything about how a home functions. We look at the whole level: how rooms connect, where light travels, how traffic flows. Then we build it right.
Remove walls and open the kitchen to the living and dining areas. We handle the structural work, permitting, and finish coordination so the result looks and feels intentional from day one.
Stone surrounds, coffered ceilings, and custom millwork built-ins that anchor the room. These are the details that give a first floor its character and hold their value for decades.
Hardwood floors installed or refinished throughout, coordinated with a lighting plan that covers every space on the level. Consistent floors and thoughtful lighting unify a first floor like nothing else.
How It Works
Adam comes to your home, walks every room on the first floor, and listens to how you actually use the space. He asks about what frustrates you now and what you've always wished the room could do. Structural possibilities get discussed honestly at this stage.
Before any demo happens, you see floor plan options, material selections, and a full finish coordination plan. Everything is decided together so that when work begins, there are no surprises about what the finished space will look like.
Structural work, finish carpentry, flooring, fireplace surround, built-ins, lighting — all trades coordinated by Adam. One point of contact, one crew, one schedule. The job site stays clean and your home stays livable throughout the process.
From the Job Site
Every first floor is different. Scope, structural complexity, and finish selections all drive the number. Here's how projects typically break down.
Focused Refresh
$50,000–$75,000
Flooring refinish or replacement, fireplace update, coordinated paint, and a new lighting plan. The room stays where it is but looks and feels entirely different.
Full Transformation
$75,000–$110,000
Open concept layout, new hardwood flooring, stone fireplace surround, and custom millwork built-ins. This is how most homeowners describe what they've been wanting for years.
Complete Redesign
$110,000–$150,000
Structural changes, coffered ceilings, full custom millwork throughout, premium stone and flooring finishes. A first floor that earns its place in the home.
Detailed written estimate before any work begins.
Questions
Scope drives the timeline. A focused refresh typically runs 3 to 4 weeks in-home. A full transformation with structural changes, new flooring, and custom millwork is usually 5 to 8 weeks. We plan everything before demo begins so there are no surprises once work starts.
Yes. We handle structural work including load-bearing wall removal with proper permitting. We've opened up dozens of first floors across Summit County and coordinate the structural, electrical, and finish work ourselves. You get one contractor, one conversation, one result.
Yes. Both are handled by our crew and trusted trades we've worked with for years. You won't be coordinating separate contractors or tracking down subs. Everything on the first floor runs through Adam, from the stone surround to the last board of flooring.
Whatever the space needs. That can mean flooring, layout changes, built-ins, fireplace surrounds, coffered ceilings, and lighting — or just a focused portion of that list. We talk through what will make the biggest difference in how your home functions before scoping the work.
We serve Summit County, including Hudson, Bath Township, Fairlawn, Richfield, Montrose-Ghent, and surrounding communities. Adam has been working in this area for 27 years and knows the home styles, the construction, and the standards these neighborhoods call for.
