Project journal

Inside the renovation

A complete interior renovation of a Cleveland ranch home — kitchen rebuild, two full bathrooms, laundry room, flooring, paint and lighting throughout — completed in 10–14 weeks by one in-house crew, without altering the original layout.

The Challenge

This Cleveland ranch had great bones but a dated, tired interior — worn flooring, dark finishes, and a kitchen and bathrooms that hadn't been updated in years. The goal was a complete, top-to-bottom refresh that would make the home feel bright, modern, and move-in ready, without changing the layout that already worked.

What We Did

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

  • Flooring throughout — fresh, light-toned flooring across the living areas, bedrooms, and hallways, with rich hardwood in the main living room.
  • Fresh paint & trim — the entire interior repainted in clean, modern neutrals, with new trim and doors for a crisp finish.
  • Kitchen rebuild — new cabinetry, updated countertops with a butcher-block breakfast bar, a center island, and stainless appliances for a bright, open cook space. See what a kitchen remodel costs in Cleveland.
  • Two full bathrooms — marble-look porcelain tile, a walk-in glass shower, a tub with a floor-to-ceiling tiled surround, brushed-gold fixtures, new vanities, and designer mirrors and sconces.
  • Laundry room — new cabinetry, durable marble-look flooring, and a clean, functional layout.
  • All-new lighting — recessed lights, flush mounts, pendants, and vanity sconces throughout. See our lighting installation service and our guide to brightening a dark Cleveland home.

The Result

The finished home is bright, modern, and completely move-in ready — a full transformation that keeps the original ranch layout while bringing every surface up to date. From the curb to the kitchen to the spa-style baths, it's a home that shows beautifully and lives even better.

Project Details

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full interior renovation take?

This one ran 10–14 weeks for the whole house — kitchen, two bathrooms, laundry, and flooring, paint and lighting throughout. Industry guides put a comparable whole-home project at four to six months; keeping the original layout and running a single in-house crew is what pulls the schedule in.

Can you modernize a ranch home without changing the layout?

Yes. This project updated every surface — flooring, cabinetry, tile, fixtures, paint and lighting — while keeping the original ranch floor plan exactly as it was. Skipping structural changes keeps both the cost and the timeline down, which is one of the biggest factors in whether remodeling beats buying.

What does a bathroom remodel cost in Cleveland?

Full bathrooms typically run $12,000–$25,000, powder rooms $6,000–$12,000, and tub-to-shower conversions $8,000–$18,000, depending on tile, fixtures and whether the layout moves. Read the full cost breakdown.

How long does a kitchen remodel take?

Most Cleveland kitchen remodels take 6–10 weeks from demolition to final fixtures, with cabinetry lead times usually setting the schedule. Cabinets are also the biggest line item — typically 30–40% of the budget. More detail in our kitchen cost guide.
