Rooms that really work

The team at Impact Home Remodeling takes the time to understand your unique vision for how your home should function—and then brings it to life.

As the holidays approach, wish lists tend to fill with the latest gadgets, kids’ sought-after toys and cozy sweaters. But what if the best gift you could give your family is a home that works better for everyone?


When family gathers for holiday dinners or overnight guests pack the house, homeowners often discover their spaces could use a little more room, better functionality or a fresh look. A cramped kitchen can make entertaining difficult, while limited gathering space and guest accommodations can make hosting family a challenge.


That’s where Impact Home Remodeling can help turn those holiday wish lists into spaces designed for easy living.


“Think big this year,” says Joe Chiera, who owns the local business with his wife Kristen. “Don’t limit yourself to small updates if what you really need is a more open kitchen, a bigger gathering space or an addition that gives your family room to grow. Your home should work for the way you live today and how you envision living in the future. We love helping homeowners see the possibilities and turn those ideas into spaces they’ll enjoy for years to come.”


For families who love to entertain, a kitchen remodel can make all the difference. 


Joe and Kristen know this firsthand. When they built their own home, they designed the kitchen around a 10-foot island where they could gather with their five children, bake cookies and make memories. That spirit of family connection inspires their work and their mission to help other families create homes that foster that same kind of warmth, comfort and togetherness.


As a husband-and-wife team, the couple brings a personal, hands-on approach to every remodeling project, guiding clients from the initial design consultation through to the final finishing touches.

With thoughtful planning, rooms become more inviting and functional. An expansive island gives guests a place to gather while dinner is prepared. Custom cabinetry keeps essentials organized and a hidden pantry adds storage without sacrificing style.


Together, these features create a kitchen that is as functional as it is beautiful—long after the holiday decorations come down.


The same thoughtful planning also extends to living spaces. Opening up a floor plan, reimagining a family room or finishing a basement can provide much-needed space for entertaining, relaxing and spending time together. A finished basement, for example, can become a game room, a home theater or a welcoming retreat for visiting family members. 


For homeowners who need even more room, a home addition can create the extra space that makes everyday living and holiday hosting more enjoyable.


The best remodeling projects do more than accommodate a houseful of guests. They make life better all year long. The right updates can improve the flow between rooms, provide smarter storage solutions and create spaces that reflect a family’s lifestyle while balancing current trends with timeless design.


Since it was founded in 1998 in Northeast Ohio, Impact Home Remodeling has helped homeowners transform their living spaces, from kitchens and bathrooms to basements and accessibility-focused renovations. 



The company understands that every home—and every homeowner’s wish list—is different.

“As you make plans for the holidays, take note of what works in your home and what could work better,” Kristen says. “Maybe it’s a kitchen designed for effortless entertaining, a basement that puts unused space to work or a spa bathroom creating a place just for you to relax and unwind. A home remodel is truly a gift that keeps on giving.”
