Akron's K and K Construction: Ohio Remodeling & Building

Kitchen Remodeling in Summit & Akron, OH

You know that feeling when you’re hosting a holiday dinner or just having a few friends over to watch the game? Everyone inevitably ends up in the kitchen.

It doesn’t matter if you have a massive living room with a comfortable sectional. Humans just gravitate toward the food and the warmth.

But if you’re living in one of the older Tudors in West Akron or a classic colonial in Hudson, you probably know the “Summit County Shuffle.” It’s that awkward dance you do when someone tries to open the refrigerator while you’re standing at the stove, and suddenly everyone is trapped.

You love your home. You love the neighborhood. But your kitchen? It’s stuck in a different era. Maybe you’re dealing with those soffits that make the ceiling feel low, or golden oak cabinets that have seen better days. Or honestly, maybe the layout just doesn’t make sense for how we live today.

We see this all the time across Summit County. We have beautiful, sturdy housing stock here, but the kitchens were built for a time when cooking was a solitary chore, not a social event.

At K&K Construction, we don’t just swap out cabinets. We rethink how the space works. We tear down the walls that are blocking your view of the backyard in Fairlawn or open up the floor plan in your Stow ranch so you can actually talk to your family while you cook.

How We Handle Your Kitchen Transformation

Remodeling a kitchen is a big deal. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It disrupts your life. You lose your sink, your stove, and your coffee maker for a little while. That’s stressful.

That is why our process is designed to minimize the chaos. We don’t like surprises, and we know you don’t either. Whether we are doing a cosmetic refresh or a full-gut expansion, we follow a path that keeps you in the loop.

Here is exactly how we move from “I hate this kitchen” to “I never want to leave”:

The “Real Talk” Consultation: We sit down in your current kitchen. We look at the load-bearing walls. We talk about how you actually cook. Do you bake? do you need a coffee station? We get all the cards on the table.
Design & Layout: This is where we solve the puzzle. We figure out how to maximize the “work triangle” so you aren’t running a marathon to make dinner.
Selections: We help you choose materials that stand up to Ohio life. We’re talking durable quartz that handles hot pots, and flooring that can survive a slushy winter boot.
Demolition & Prep: We seal off the rest of your house. We respect your air quality. We carefully remove the old stuff (and often donate what’s reusable).
Systems Check: We update the “guts.” That means bringing 1950s wiring up to modern code and moving plumbing lines to accommodate that island you’ve always wanted.
Installation: The cabinets go in level. The countertops are seamed perfectly. The backsplash is tiled with precision.
The Finish Line: We don’t just finish; we polish. We adjust every cabinet door hinge so it closes softly. We make sure the under-cabinet lighting is perfect.

We handle the heavy lifting of plumbing modifications and fixture installation internally or with trusted partners, so you aren’t juggling three different contractors. We act as the conductor of the orchestra.

And look, every house in Akron is different. A split-level in Tallmadge has different structural quirks than a century home in Highland Square. We know what to look for—from uneven subfloors to weird soffit ductwork—so we catch issues before they become expensive change orders.

Why "Good Enough" Isn't Good Enough for Your Kitchen

When you decide to remodel, you have two choices. You can just replace what’s there—new white cabinets where the old wood ones were—or you can actually improve your life.

We aim for the second one.

A truly great kitchen remodel pays you back in time and sanity. It’s about having a trash pull-out right next to the prep zone so you aren’t dripping tomato sauce across the floor. It’s about deep drawers for pots and pans instead of dark cabinets where you have to get on your hands and knees to find a lid.

Ready to Stop the "Kitchen Shuffle"?

Life is too short to cook in a kitchen that stresses you out. You deserve a space where you can roll out cookie dough with the kids without bumping elbows. You deserve drawers that glide shut and lighting that makes your home feel welcoming.

Whether you are in Stow, Green, or right here in Akron, we’re ready to help you build the kitchen you’ve been pinning on Pinterest.

Let’s grab a cup of coffee (maybe in your future breakfast nook) and talk about the possibilities.
