Does Lemmon Homes Do Renovations?

Yes. We handle six categories of renovation work, using the same attention to detail we apply to our custom homes.

What we do

• Kitchen renovations. Custom cabinetry, high-end countertops and modern appliances. See what a kitchen renovation involves.
• Bathroom remodeling. Spa-like retreats with luxurious finishes and considered design.
• Whole-home renovations. Refreshing multiple spaces with new layouts, flooring and lighting.
• Basement finishing. Turning unfinished space into living, entertainment or work space. See finishing a basement.
• Exterior upgrades. Siding, roofing, windows and outdoor living areas.
• Additions and expansions. New space designed to look like it was always part of the house. See home additions.

How renovation differs from new construction

• You find things. Opening a wall in an existing house reveals what's actually behind it, which is not always what the plan assumed. A contingency matters more on renovation than on new construction, not less.
• You live in it, usually. Dust control, working hours, access, and which rooms stay usable all become part of the plan.
• Existing conditions constrain design. Structure, plumbing stacks, load-bearing walls and ceiling heights all shape what's possible.
• Code compliance can expand scope. Once work reaches a certain threshold, current code may apply to things you weren't planning to touch, like electrical, egress or insulation.
• Permits are still required for most structural, electrical, plumbing and mechanical work.

How to start

The same way a new build starts: a conversation about what you're trying to accomplish, your budget and your timeline. We'll tell you honestly if what you want isn't achievable in the space, or if the money would go further on a different approach. See renovate or build new?

We're based in Canton and work across the Akron-Canton area. See where we build.
