Our team includes NARI Certified Remodelers who understand the unique challenges and opportunities presented by Shaker Heights’ historic housing stock.

Our Remodeling Services in Shaker Heights
As a full-service design-build firm, Hurst provides Shaker Heights homeowners with seamless project delivery from initial concept through final walkthrough. Our integrated approach eliminates the coordination headaches and finger-pointing that plague traditional contractor relationships.
Kitchen Remodeling in Shaker Heights
Your Shaker Heights kitchen likely features solid construction and quality details that builders simply do not replicate today. Our kitchen remodeling services honor that heritage while delivering the open layouts, professional-grade appliances, and custom storage solutions that modern families require. From preserving original butler’s pantries to creating stunning great room connections, we transform dated kitchens into the heart of your home.
Bathroom Remodeling in Shaker Heights
The modest bathrooms typical of 1920s-1950s construction rarely meet today’s expectations for comfort and luxury. Hurst specializes in expanding and reimagining Shaker Heights bathrooms, whether creating spa-inspired master retreats, updating hall baths for growing families, or sensitively restoring vintage tile work and fixtures. Our designs maximize both functionality and aesthetic appeal within your home’s architectural context.
Basement Remodeling in Shaker Heights
Shaker Heights homes often feature generous basements with excellent ceiling heights – prime candidates for transformation into valuable living space. Whether you envision a family entertainment center, home office, exercise studio, or guest suite, our basement remodeling services address moisture management, egress requirements, and finish details that create comfortable, code-compliant spaces.
Home Additions in Shaker Heights
Adding square footage in Shaker Heights requires particular sensitivity to architectural context and neighborhood character.

From family room expansions to primary suite additions, we create seamless transitions between old and new.
Whole-House Remodeling in Shaker Heights

Whether updating throughout or completing a historic restoration, we manage every detail.
Laundry and Mudroom Remodeling in Shaker Heights
Historic Shaker Heights homes rarely include the dedicated mudrooms and efficient laundry spaces that today’s families expect. We specialize in carving out functional utility spaces from underutilized areas – converting back porches, reconfiguring service areas, or building smart additions that contain the chaos of daily life while complementing your home’s character.
Outdoor Living and Exterior Remodeling in Shaker Heights
Shaker Heights’ mature landscaping and generous lots create exceptional opportunities for outdoor living. From covered patios and outdoor kitchens to deck expansions and four-season rooms, we help you extend your living space while respecting neighborhood aesthetics.
