Project brief

What the client needed

A clear look at the goal and the starting condition before materials were selected or work began.

01 · Objective

The outcome to create

Modernize every major room, open up the living experience and bring the kitchen and bathrooms fully up to date while respecting the wooded setting.

02 · Starting point

The original condition

The home was structurally sound but its dated finishes, closed-in upper rooms and tired kitchen and bathrooms kept the property from feeling current.

Project journal

Inside the renovation

A complete top-to-bottom renovation of a Brecksville, Ohio home — new kitchen, two full bathrooms, vaulted upper-level bedrooms, and flooring, paint and lighting throughout — completed by one in-house crew.

The Challenge

This Brecksville home had solid structure and a great wooded lot, but a dated, tired interior that needed a full transformation. The goal was a complete, top-to-bottom renovation — modernizing every room, opening up the living spaces, and bringing the kitchen and bathrooms fully up to date — so the home would feel bright, current, and move-in ready.

What We Did

We renovated the entire home inside and out, with one accountable crew handling every trade:

  • Kitchen — new shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, undermount sink, and full stainless appliance package including a gas range.
  • Two full bathrooms — a walk-in glass shower, a tub, fresh tile, modern vanities, and updated lighting and fixtures.
  • Flooring throughout — refinished hardwood in the main living areas, new tile in the kitchen and dining room, and durable flooring in the bedrooms.
  • Vaulted upper-level bedrooms — opened-up ceilings with exposed beams and skylights, finished with statement lighting for a bright, airy feel.
  • Fresh paint & lighting — the whole interior repainted in clean, modern neutrals, with all-new fixtures, from flush mounts to pendants and chandeliers. See our lighting installation service.
  • Exterior & basement — refreshed exterior and a clean, dry, ready-to-use basement.

The Result

The finished home is bright, modern, and completely move-in ready — a true before-and-after transformation. From the updated kitchen to the vaulted, light-filled bedrooms, every room was brought up to date while keeping the home's character and its beautiful natural setting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a whole-home renovation take in Cleveland?

A full interior renovation of this scope typically runs 4-6 months, depending on material lead times and how many trades run in parallel. Individual rooms move faster — most bathrooms finish in 1–3 weeks and kitchens in 6–10.

How much does it cost to renovate an entire house in Cleveland?

It depends on how many rooms are in scope. As a guide, Cleveland kitchen remodels typically run $12,000–$22,000 and full bathrooms $12,000–$25,000, with flooring, paint and lighting priced by square footage. Every Manzil Renovation project is quoted after a free on-site visit.

Can we live in the house during a full renovation?

Sometimes, if the work is phased room by room — but whole-home projects like this one go faster and finish cleaner when the house is empty. We'll tell you honestly which one your project is before you commit.
