Deck or cabinet refresh—Chagrin Home Improvements can revitalization your home inside and out

By Mary Malik

Joe Jacobs, owner of Chagrin Home Improvements, knows that to be a successful small business, you need to focus on the services that benefit your customers the most. That sounds simple enough but finding that sweet spot between what your customers need and what you can offer while still guaranteeing the highest quality product and exceptional service can be tricky. After working in the trades for more than 20 years and owning his own business for more than 10, Joe has found that sweet spot—and Chagrin Home Improvements has proven itself to be the premier deck restoration and kitchen revitalization company in the area.

Decks

“We’ve made a name for ourselves with our meticulous process and we’re saving customers a lot of money in costly deck repairs and full replacements by preserving these spaces,” Joe says. “In Ohio, deck season is brief and precious. We need the deck to be ready.”

Joe’s crew will make small repairs, clean and stain your deck and restore it to like-new condition, usually in just two days. In Northeast Ohio, we know how the weather fluctuations can damage our decks. But every couple of years, if small repairs are made and the surface is properly cleaned and sealed, your deck will always be ready when it’s time to get outside.

“We first clean the deck thoroughly and get rid of any dirt and mold buildup,” says Joe. “We also make small repairs like replacing rotten wood pieces and securing raised screws and nails. Once your deck is cleaned and sealed, we recommend rinsing it off regularly to help with mold and mildew buildup. Every couple of years, however, only a professional cleaning and staining will protect it from rotting, warping and other costly issues.”

Once the process is complete, your beautiful deck should hold up for two or three years with minimal maintenance.

“And it’s not too late. Fall is a great time to have your deck serviced,” Joe says. “Putting it through one more Ohio winter when you know it needs some attention now could be a costly mistake. There’s still time to get on our fall schedule and preserve it before winter hits and does even more damage.”

Joe and his crew are in and out and get the job done right, so you can face the winter with confidence—and so can your deck.

Cabinet Painting and Revitalization
What if you could revitalize those tired- looking kitchen or laundry room cabinets and completely change the appearance and style for a fraction of the cost of new cabinets?

Chagrin Home Improvements can do this for you, just like it did for me. My cabinets were in good shape, but I was ready for a new, fresh and updated look. Chagrin Home Improvements not only made the cabinets look brand-new, but they also updated the whole space and saved me tens of thousands of dollars.

“Any renovation is a big project, not to mention messy, intrusive and expensive,” says Joe. “Often the costliest part is new cabinets. We take your current cabinets and revitalize them for a like-new, refreshed look for the whole room. New cabinets are not always necessary, and sometimes the quality is not as good as what you have. Our process will update the old ones and give you that new look for a lot less money and time.”

The process in my home couldn’t have been simpler, and I never lost use of the space.

“We first remove the cabinet doors and drawers, bring them to our facility in Chagrin Falls, and begin the critical prep process of filling any cracks or holes before sanding every inch to a smooth finish, cleaning them so there’s not a speck of dust or residue, then applying a premium primer and spraying two coats of paint for a flawless finish,” explains Joe. “While the doors are being painted off-site, a crew member is painting the cabinet boxes in your home using the same process for an identical finish.”

And new hardware will complete the new look and change the style of your whole space, just like it did for mine.

“Your kitchen will look new, and you have the use of it every day,” Joe says. “There’s minimal dust and we keep things neat.”
