Home Repair Resource Center connects homeowners with myriad resources KATERYNA KOPYLCHAK kkopylchak@cjn.org

wning a home often means dealing with repairs, whether it is a leaking roof, broken front steps, plumbing problems or a project that requires tools a homeowner may not have. Home Repair Resource Center works to make those projects more manageable by connecting homeowners with grants, repair education, tools, housing counseling and other resources. Wesley Walker, financial programs coordinator at Home Repair Resource Center, said the organization provides a variety of programs designed to help Walker homeowners maintain and improve their homes. “We do the city grant programs for home repairs for the cities of Shaker and Cleveland Heights,” Walker told the Cleveland Jewish News. “We offer grants to homeowners who qualify under income guidelines. We offer grants for things like painting your house or getting something fixed, new front stairs, stuff like that.” The organization has served the community for more than 50 years and has offered home repair classes for about 30 years. “We’ve been teaching home repair classes for many years,” Walker said. “We have a series like the Women’s

Home How-To Series, which is a six-week series of classes on all stuff home repair, from tool usage to drywall, putting up ceramic tile, electrical repairs, plumbing repairs, little stuff like that.” For homeowners who want to take on projects themselves but do not have the necessary equipment, HRRC also operates a tool library with more than 1,000 tools. Residents can become members for $25 per year and reserve the tools they need online. “You go online, if you see a tool you need, you reserve it and come and pick it up and get it and use it, wipe it off and bring it back,” Walker said. “It’s just like a library. There’s no further cost beyond that $25 membership fee.” The library includes yard, plumbing, electrical and painting tools, ladders and specialized equipment such as ceramic tile saws. “Unless you’re a contractor who’s going to do ceramic tile every day, there’s no point in buying a ceramic tile saw when you can borrow one from our library,” Walker said. “We have yard tools, plumbing tools, electrical tools, any tools you can think of, ladders, painting stuff, any type of tool you can imagine is in the tool library.” HRRC is also a Department of Housing and Urban Development-approved housing counseling agency. Walker said its services include the Cleveland Heights down payment assistance program, first-time homebuyer assistance, foreclosure prevention and credit counseling. The organization also administers senior grant programs for Cleveland Heights and Shaker Heights. Those grants

can help pay for repairs that affect the health and safety of older residents and, unlike many of the organization’s other grants, can cover qualifying work inside a home. “They both have their own senior grant components that will help to pay for a repair that will positively impact upon the health and safety of a senior in their home,” Walker said. “I had a guy call me this morning. He needs to grab bars in his back hallway and get in and out of his house. Stuff like that certainly qualifies for the senior grant funding.” Other problems, such as a leaking roof or lack of hot water, may also qualify depending on the circumstances, Walker said. “It’s small, it’s not a really big grant, but it could help,” he said. “Some grant is better than no grant.” Beyond its formal programs, HRRC can help homeowners who simply do not know where to begin with a repair. Staff can answer questions, help people find contractors and connect homeowners with other organizations and financing resources. “If you need contractors or you need advice on some home repair or something like that, there’s always someone here who can help,” Walker said. “Through email, through calling, you can come in, stop in, say hi. We certainly provide a lot of information for homeowners when they’re looking for different resources.” Home Repair Resource Center is at 2520 Noble Road in Cleveland Heights. For more information, visit hhrc-ch.org or call 216-381-6683.

Cleveland Custom Contractors, Inc.

leveland Custom Contractors, founded in 1977 by two Vietnam Veteran University Heights Police Officers, took a big step to get ahead in life. Starting in the exterior building cleaning business, we quickly gained traction, especially with our focus on graffiti removal. Collaborating with Alside Manufacturing in the 1980s, the pioneers of aluminum siding, we developed a program for refinishing aluminum siding. Our partnership led to the creation of a system for completing these refinishing projects. Over the years, we have successfully refinished or painted over 5000 houses. In the early 90s, we expanded into EIFS (exterior insulation finish systems) used on many shopping centers and commercial buildings, completing over

300 structures. Sadly, my partner passed away in 2009, leaving me as the sole owner and operator of the company. Cleveland Custom Contractors, Inc. 6104 Maplewood Road Mentor, OH 44060 216-371-3030 cccr.biz ed@cccr.biz

Chagrin Home Improvements SPICE UP YOUR KITCHEN THIS FALL—WITHOUT THE DEMOLITION DUST As the crisp autumn air settles in and the holiday season approaches, many homeowners begin eyeing their kitchens with a sense of dread. The kitchen is the undisputed heart of the home, but if your cabinets look tired, outdated, or worn out, hosting family gatherings can feel less than festive. For decades, the only solution was a traditional remodel. But ripping out perfectly good cabinet boxes is no longer the smartest choice. Tearing out a kitchen costs tens of thousands of dollars and leaves your home in construction chaos for weeks—or even months. Between the demolition dust, plumbing complications, and losing access to your stove and sink, a full replacement is a massive disruption to your daily life. Fortunately, a modern alternative is rapidly transforming how local homeowners upgrade their spaces: professional cabinet refinishing. If you love your current kitchen layout but simply hate the color or finish, refinishing is the ultimate smart investment. Instead of paying for unnecessary demolition, homeowners can opt for a durable and beautifully smooth finish applied directly to their existing cabinetry. This isn’t a standard DIY brushing project; professional refinishing utilizes a high-tech spray application to deliver an exceptionally

resilient, showroom-worthy result that rivals brand-new custom cabinetry. The most significant advantage? Time and convenience. A specialized professional cabinet painting process takes just five days from start to finish. Because the doors and drawers are carefully removed and taken to a state-of-the-art painting facility, there is zero demolition, minimal mess, and no construction dust lingering in your home. Best of all, you retain access to your kitchen every single evening throughout the project. By choosing to refinish rather than replace, homeowners typically save 70% to 80% compared to the cost of a full remodel. This leaves thousands of dollars in the budget for other upgrades, like new countertops, appliances, or backsplashes. When making this investment, it is crucial to choose local experts who stand behind their work. Look for contractors who view you as a long-term relationship rather than a quick project, like the familyowned cabinet painters at Chagrin Home Improvements. Top-tier local companies even offer a Lifetime Touch-Up Guarantee, providing an annual courtesy visit to fix minor, everyday nicks and chips for free, ensuring your kitchen stays showroom-ready long after the holidays are over. This fall, don’t endure weeks of living in a construction zone just to

change your kitchen’s color. Refinish, refresh, and get the high-end, modern transformation you deserve while keeping your savings intact. Ready to update your space? Contact the team at Chagrin Home Improvements for a free estimate and be sure to ask about our 0% APR financing for qualified homeowners.

Glass is often viewed as a simple architectural material, but Crystal Illusions proves that it can be much more. In the hands of skilled artisans, glass becomes a statement of style, a source of natural beauty, and an essential part of a building’s character. From elegant residential features to large-scale commercial installations, the company creates custom glasswork designed to enhance the spaces where people live, work, and gather.

FURNITURE THAT FITS YOUR HOME — AND YOUR LIFE We’ve all been there. You find a sofa you love, then start wondering: Is it too big? Does it work with the rug? What goes on that empty wall? And why did this room seem so much easier to furnish in your head? At Fish Furniture, we believe creating a beautiful home should be fun, not frustrating. That’s why we offer complimentary design services to help you pull everything together. Our designers start by understanding how you live. How do you use the room? Do you entertain? Have kids or pets? Is this where everyone watches the game, or where you escape with a good book? Will the dining table handle everyday meals and homework – or mainly holiday gatherings? What do you already own and love? And, of course, how do you want the room to feel? From there, we help you shape the space – from furniture size and placement to colors, fabrics, rugs and accessories. And yes, we can come to your home. An in-home design consultation allows our team to see your space firsthand, understand its proportions and help you envision possibilities you may not have considered. We can help you add a few key pieces that work with furniture you already own – or rethink an entire room. Whatever the scope, the goal is the same: a space that feels comfortable, balanced and distinctly yours. Fish Furniture has been helping Northeast Ohio create beautiful homes since 1925. Over the years, we’ve learned that there is no single “right” style. Some customers love traditional style. Others want clean, contemporary spaces. Many want a mix. Our job isn’t to define your style. It’s to help

you bring it to life. And our showrooms give you something the internet can’t: the opportunity to sit on a sofa or chair, feel the fabric, see the colors, and experience the comfort and quality firsthand. So, bring us your measurements. Bring us your photos. Bring us that room you haven’t quite figured out. We’ll bring the ideas. Fish Furniture has showrooms in Mayfield Heights and North Olmsted and offers complimentary in-home design services. Call us at 440-461-1050 or visit FishFurniture.com to learn more.

Smylie One Heating, Cooling & Plumbing Company MORE THAN A NAME. A FAMILY LEGACY. In an industry filled with companies promising great service, Smylie One Heating, Cooling & Plumbing has something that can’t be manufactured, purchased, or copied: a family legacy more than 70 years in the making. Since 1955, Smylie One has been serving Northeast Ohio homes and families through bitter winters, sweltering summers, unexpected plumbing emergencies, and everything in between. Over the decades, equipment has changed, technology has advanced, and the company has grown, but the principles behind the Smylie One name have remained remarkably simple.

THAT PHILOSOPHY LIVES INSIDE THE COMPANY’S FAMILIAR PROMISE: “SERVICE WITH A SMYLIE.” It may be a clever play on the family name, but its meaning runs much deeper. It represents the idea that exceptional service begins with people. Customers want technicians who arrive when promised, explain what they are doing, respect their homes, provide honest solutions, and perform work they can depend on. When the furnace quits during a Cleveland winter, the air conditioner gives up in the middle of July, or a plumbing problem suddenly turns the day upside down, customers aren’t simply looking for equipment or replacement parts.

TREAT PEOPLE RIGHT. DO QUALITY WORK. STAND BEHIND WHAT YOU DO. AND NEVER FORGET THAT YOUR REPUTATION WALKS THROUGH THE CUSTOMER’S FRONT DOOR WITH YOU. Today, that tradition is carried forward by owners Steven Smylie and Gary Rosen, two men who understand that owning a family business means being responsible for something larger than themselves. They aren’t simply running a heating, cooling, and plumbing company. They are protecting a name, a reputation, and a relationship with the Northeast Ohio community that has been built one customer and one home at a time.

THEY’RE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE THEY CAN TRUST. That trust has allowed Smylie One to grow and evolve far beyond its beginnings. Today, the company provides comprehensive heating, cooling, plumbing, and indoor air quality services, combining generations of experience with the technology and expertise required for today’s homes. But perhaps the most exciting chapter of the Smylie One story isn’t about where the company has been. IT’S ABOUT WHO IS HELPING TAKE IT FORWARD. The next generation of the family is already

becoming part of that story. Steven’s son, Jordan Smylie; Gary’s son, Joey Rosen; and nephew, Justin Richman represent the continuation of something increasingly rare: a family business preparing another generation to carry its values into the future. For Jordan, Joey, and Justin, joining the family business means inheriting much more than a company name. It means inheriting responsibility. Every Smylie One truck on the road is a moving billboard for the family. Every technician wearing the logo represents decades of work that came before them. Every phone call, installation, service visit, and conversation with a customer is another opportunity to strengthen a reputation that took generations to build. And that is what makes Smylie One different. The company can embrace new technology without abandoning old-fashioned service. It can grow while remaining personal. It can introduce new services while holding tightly to the principles upon which the company was built. For Steven Smylie and Gary Rosen, the mission is to continue building a company worthy of its history. For Jordan Smylie, Joey Rosen, and Justin Richman, the opportunity is to take that foundation and build upon it for another generation. And for Smylie One customers, the promise remains the same one that has guided the company for more than 70 years: When you call Smylie One,

you aren’t simply calling a heating, cooling, and plumbing company. You’re calling a family whose name is on the work. That name mattered in 1955. It matters today. And if the next generation has anything to say about it, it will matter for decades to come.
