​Testimonials

Tim Franklin and his team are off to a great start on my project. I am adding a kitchen and have been pretty particular on many things; he's taken it all with aplomb. We're still in the project, but so far he has handled all details, and his team of professionals (trades) came in for the planning phases and really made me feel good about the details of the project. I'll update later at end of constructions, but so far: great!

Renovated Barn House 

The structure is the oldest bank barn in the area. It was built by German settlers and is 204 years old. The design objective was to convert this century structure into a residence. Both exterior and interior designs were to reflect both “old” and “new”. This blended approach to design shows respect for the original barn, yet at the same time, brings the structure into the present day.

 

Hoover Home Restoration 

The left crib of the farmhouse was built in 1818. The right crib was added in 1832 by John Hoover. A side note: The Hoover Vacuum Company is located in nearby Canton, Ohio. Family members owned the farmhouse and 167 acres of land until it was donated to the University Of Akron in 1970. The land was used for the new Wayne College. The farmhouse was left vacant and suffered severe damage do to exposure to the weather elements. In 2003, the University decided to save the farmhouse. The objective was to retain the historical character and uniqueness of the farmhouse, while addressing today’s needs for access, comfort and technology, so it can be used for classes and special functions.
