What to expect in an older Akron house

Much of Akron was built during the rubber industry years, and neighborhoods like Goodyear Heights and Firestone Park were laid out as housing for the people who worked at those plants. Homes from that era have real character, along with small bathrooms, plaster walls, narrow stairways and kitchens sized for another time.

Opening walls in an older house means planning for what might be behind them: old wiring, past repairs and framing that is not quite square. We build that into the plan up front. Basements in older Akron homes are often block or stone, and any moisture needs sorting out before framing goes up.

Small Akron bathrooms reward careful planning. A floating vanity, a niche built into the shower wall instead of a hanging caddy and large format tile with fewer grout lines can make a tight room feel bigger without moving a wall. In the kitchen, running cabinets to the ceiling and adding an island where the floor allows gives you storage that older layouts never had.

Questions

Akron remodeling questions

Which parts of Akron do you work in?

All of it. We take on projects across the city, including neighborhoods like Ellet, Goodyear Heights, Highland Square, Kenmore and Firestone Park.

Can a small Akron bathroom get a walk in shower?

Often it can. It depends on where the drain sits and how the floor is framed. We look at both during the estimate and tell you plainly what will fit.

Do you take on remodels in very old houses?

Yes. We plan for uneven framing and older systems from the start, so the quote reflects the house you actually have.
