The team at Impact Landscape & Home Remodeling is turning its attention back indoors to create stunning kitchens and baths
By Laura Briedis
It’s been said that a fallen leaf is nothing more than a summer’s wave goodbye.
For Impact Landscape & Home Remodeling, the emerging fall landscape also signals that it’s time to turn the focus back on the home’s interior.
As both a landscaping and home remodeling company, this local business is uniquely qualified to handle all aspects of your home—making your outdoor and indoor design seamless.
“While we have been spending time in our back yards and enjoying the extra space outdoor living affords, it is inevitable that we eventually will have to head indoors once the cooler weather sets in,” says Joe Chiera, who along with his wife Kristen owns Impact Landscape & Home Remodeling. “Fall is always our busiest time for home remodeling projects as homeowners are looking for ways to renew the interior of their home, whether adding space or just a better use of space.”
Since 1997, Impact has been helping homeowners in Northeast Ohio build dream kitchens, create spa bathrooms, finish basements or even build additions for both growing families and couples looking to downsize.
“Impact has done a phenomenal job remodeling our home,” says James Whitley, whose wife Brenda helped provide design inspiration for the new spaces. “I’m so impressed with Joe and his core team of plumbers, electricians, tile installers. Two years ago Impact remodeled our lower level, so we turned to them again this year to remodel our master bathroom, walk-in closet, laundry room and home office. Each and every time the work is the highest quality.”
Dream Bathrooms
Once built for convenience and necessity, the master bathroom now is more of a place where you can rest and relax.
“We have been working with homeowners to repurpose space from their master bedroom to make room for a larger bathroom and closet because it is more functional,” says Joe. “Many homeowners are opting for bathrooms that feature a curbless wet room, where the tub and shower are designed so the entire area can get wet. We only need about 60 square feet to add a wet room to any bathroom remodel. With a curbless shower and no walls, the space feels bigger than it really is.”
Bathroom designs are very personal, but most homeowners like to mix natural elements, including stone, marble and wood, to exude a spa vibe that is very calming and soothing.
Your Culinary Centerpiece
Considered the heart of the home, the kitchen is one of the best returns on investments when it comes to remodeling. “Homeowners can recoup up to 75 percent of their kitchen remodeling costs, so you can view it more as an investment than an expense,” Joe says.
“There are many design options we can show you or bring us your ideas and we will bring them to life,” he says. “We always like to blend on-trend décor items with classic elements to create a timeless design that you will enjoy for years to come.”
While the all-white kitchen will probably never go out of style, homeowners are now opting to mix in warm wood cabinetry and add pops of color, as well as embracing the return of white appliances, though with a more modern matte finish, and loving the vintage-designed stoves.
Basements Redefined
One of the easiest ways to add more usable space—sometimes even doubling square footage—to your home is to finish the basement.
Impact has been remodeling basements that are first-floor worthy, with beautiful flooring, lighting and design elements. So, whether you want to add a kid’s playroom or sports bar, Impact can transform your basement.
“A basement can be so versatile as we have been adding home gyms in basements, home offices and even second kitchens for those using the lower level for entertaining,” says Joe. “We can help add more space and a better flow anywhere in your home.”
