If it’s not on this list, call anyway. After thirty years there isn’t much in a house we haven’t fixed.

SVC-01 · THE SPECIALTY

Bathroom remodels

Full gut-and-rebuild baths, designed with you and built without a single subcontractor. The specialty, thirty years running.

How we quote →
SVC-02

Tub-to-shower conversions

Walk-in showers, safety tubs out, done in days. The same conversion the big-box stores sell. We’re the crew that installs them.

The two builds →
SVC-03

Plumbing

Repairs, fixtures, water heaters, the leak that’s been on the list all winter.

What we fix →
SVC-04

Electrical

Light fixtures, outlets, switches and fans: the electrical side of every remodel, and the small jobs between.

What we wire →
SVC-05

Appliance installation

Dishwashers, disposals, washers and dryers, installed right so they don’t leak into your new floor.

Installed right →
SVC-06

Handyman work

Doors, drywall, decks, the honey-do list. Save it up; one trip clears the whole thing.

No salesman. No mystery. A handshake, in writing.

A remodel shouldn’t start with a pitch at your kitchen table. Ours starts with a written estimate: what we’re building, what it costs, and when anything is due. The estimate you sign is the job you get.

Up front, jobs over $1,000half

Jobs over $1,000 take half up front, which buys your materials and holds your date. Under a thousand, nothing down. Either way the balance waits for your walk-through.

How a job runs. Same way since 1996.

Work order · four lines · no surprises

Around here a remodel quote usually means a salesman on your couch and a number that moves. Ours doesn’t work like that. Here’s the whole process, including exactly when money changes hands:

01

Call or text

(330) 621-5810. Tell us what needs done. If photos are enough to price it, we’ll say so and save you a visit.

No charge
02

Get the number

We look at the job and hand you a written estimate: one number, all in, labor and materials together. No pitch, no pressure, no expiration countdown.

Free · written · no pressure
03

We show up and work

Jobs over $1,000 take half up front. That buys your materials and holds your date on the schedule. Smaller work takes nothing down.

Half up front over $1,000

Walk-through, then the balance

You inspect everything. The final invoice waits until you’re satisfied, and the number on it matches the estimate you signed.

Balance at completion

The work.

Job photos · straight off the crew’s phones

4,924 jobs, and almost none of them photographed for the internet, because the internet isn’t where the work came from. That’s changing. Here are the first ones.

A father, a son, and thirty years of Wooster bathrooms.

Filed under · who shows up

Barnes Home Improvements started in 1996 and never left Wooster. Today it’s Al and Cody, father and son, and their team: no rotating crews, no subcontractors, no job handed off to somebody you’ve never met. The person who quotes your bathroom is the person who builds it.

The big remodel outfits advertise that their installers are background-checked employees. Ours are a man and his son who have been at this for thirty years. Check whatever you like: we’re insured, we’re local, and there’s a good chance someone on your street has our work in their house.

For years most of our work came through installer contracts and word of mouth: 4,924 jobs for your neighbors that never showed up on the internet. This site is us fixing that. The work was always here; now the proof is too.

What the neighbors said.

Left on Google · in their words

“They installed our new dishwasher and garbage disposal and did a great job. We were very happy.”

Rick R.

“Cody came on time, was very polite and professional. Got right to work and did a beautiful job of installing a new toilet. We are very pleased. Thank you!”

Michael K.

“Use for bathroom vanity tops. Feel comfortable using this vendor. On time and efficient.”

Rob V.

Wooster, and the towns around it.

Route board · where the truck goes

Thirty years of jobs puts an address in just about every one of these. Most of Wayne County is inside twenty-five minutes. Akron, Canton and Mansfield are about half an hour out. For a bigger job we will travel further, up to about an hour and twenty out. If your town is not here, call and ask.
