From the wooded acreage lots off Mayfield Road to the established colonials and ranches tucked into Geauga County's rolling terrain, Chesterland homes have room to grow — and a lot of kitchens and baths that are ready for it. TMAK Restoration is a small, owner-run remodeling crew that treats a Chesterland remodel the way you'd want your own house handled.
Chesterland sits just east of our Highland Heights shop, out into Geauga County where the lots get bigger and the homes have more square footage to work with. That's a good match for the kind of remodeling we like best — kitchens with real footprints to reconfigure, baths that can actually change shape, and whole-home projects that touch more than one room.
Owner Mike McCandless walks every job himself before we quote a number. The crew has worked together for over ten years, with 20+ years of combined remodeling experience, and we've built the company almost entirely on referrals and word of mouth from homeowners across Cleveland's east side.

Not every Chesterland home is the same. The older ranches ask for different work than the newer builds on the wooded lots. Here's how we approach it.
Our shop is in Highland Heights, minutes west of Chesterland along the Mayfield Road corridor. When you call, you reach Mike — the owner — not a call center. He runs the estimate, and the same small crew that quoted your job is the crew that shows up to do it.
TMAK Restoration is BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, and we've earned it the slow way: one honest Geauga County remodel at a time. There are no subcontractor handoffs and no revolving door of unfamiliar faces in your house.
Chesterland's housing runs from mid-century ranches and split-levels on generous Geauga County acreage to newer custom builds set back in the trees. What most of them share is space to work with — and a lot of original kitchens and baths that have never been reconfigured, only surface-updated. That's exactly the kind of project where a real remodel pays off: opening a closed-off kitchen, gaining a proper island, or turning a cramped bath into something that actually functions.
Our most common Chesterland work: full kitchen remodels and bathroom remodels, cabinet refinishing when the boxes are still good, and flooring that ties fresh rooms together. Whole-lower-level and multi-room renovations are a regular part of the mix too — the extra square footage in Chesterland homes makes bigger projects worth doing right.
One review put it best: "old school attention to detail and work ethic using contemporary skills and techniques." That's the standard on every Chesterland job.
A lot of Chesterland homeowners know they want to change something but aren't sure what's possible. That's where the design-build approach earns its keep. We help with the updated layout, walk you through cabinet options, and make sure the plan fits both the house and the budget before demo day — the same help our reviewers keep calling out by name.
One recent customer put it plainly: "Mike and Jim were a great help in planning the updated layout and ordering the cabinets. They went above and beyond." That planning stage is included — it's just how we work.
