Serving Hartville
Bathroom Remodeling for Hartville Homeowners
Hartville is the one incorporated village in Lake Township, and that changes one thing about your bathroom before we ever pick up a tool. The village runs its own certified building department. Permits for building, electrical and HVAC are filed at Village Hall on West Maple Street, and a village inspector, not a county one, signs off the work. We handle all of that. It just means Hartville is not a township, and we do not treat it like one.
The houses tell you the rest. The streets off Prospect and Maple in the middle of the village were built between about 1911 and 1931, on lots small enough that the bathroom was often squeezed in later, under a stair or off the back hall, with a drain run that goes the long way to the main. The rings around the village, Eloise Circle and the Market Avenue side, went up between 1959 and 1974. Those are the ranches and colonials with the one full bath everyone in the family shares, a fiberglass surround, and a floor that has been damp under the tile for years.
Joseph Evans does the work himself, from Uniontown, four miles west on 619. It starts with a fifteen to thirty minute phone call where you get a real range, and only then does he drive over.

"Joe with Redeemed Contracting recently completed a remodel of our very outdated master bath. We were very impressed from the start - Joe met with us to hear our ideas, formulated a plan and presented a very reasonable quote. He was very responsive to any questions and ideas and had great communication throughout the project. We are thrilled with Joe's work and the end result, and will use Redeemed again. We highly recommend Joe and his team at Redeemed Contracting!"

"I truly wish I could give this young man 100 stars. He is VERY dedicated to doing the job right. I could tell from day one that he treated this room in my home like it was in his own home. My husband and I have been do it ourself people for over twenty years. He is 100% disabled now but Joe took the time to listen and do exactly what I asked of him. My husband's smile when he saw the room finished was a true blessing. Thank you for the great job you did on this half bath that will now serve as bathroom and first floor laundry. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!!"

What a Hartville bathroom runs into
The village has public sewer, so the septic questions we ask everywhere else in Lake Township mostly do not come up inside the limits. What does come up is the well. A lot of Hartville homes are on village sewer and their own well at the same time, and hard well water is rough on a new faucet and a new shower valve. We say so before you spend money on fixtures. In the 1920s homes the cast iron drain is usually original, and if the layout moves, that pipe has to come out through the floor. In the 1960s ranches the tub is the decision: keep it if it is the only full bath, and if the master has a tub nobody has used since the kids left, that space is better as a bigger tile shower. Every tile shower we build sits on a Schluter waterproofing system, because a shower that moves is a shower that leaks, and these floors have moved.
Common Questions
Bathroom Remodeling Questions from Hartville Homeowners
Straightforward answers to what homeowners in the Hartville area ask us most often.
Four things move it: tile or a surround, a heated floor, a glass door, and the vanity. In the village core a fifth shows up, because the 1920s drain has to come out if the layout changes. You get a range on the phone before Joe comes over from Uniontown. The tiers are on our bathroom remodeling page.
Yes, and this is the thing that makes Hartville different. The village has its own building department at 202 West Maple Street and its own electrical and HVAC inspectors. Plumbing is inspected by the Stark County Health Department. We file with the village and meet its inspector, and licensed tradesmen do the plumbing, electrical and HVAC.
Plumbing, when it moves, and in the 1911 to 1931 houses off Prospect and Maple it usually has to, because the bathroom was added later and the drain runs the long way. In the Eloise Circle and Market Avenue ranches nothing moves and tile becomes the big line, and it is the line that lasts.
Stay if it is the only full bath, and many of the village-core houses have exactly one. Go if it is a master bath tub that has not been used since the kids left; a bigger tile shower with a bench is worth more to you and to the next owner.
The streets off Prospect and Maple date from the 1910s to 1930s on small lots. The bath was fitted in wherever it fit, often under the stair, the drain is cast iron, and the wiring has been added to for a century. We know that going in.
About a week for a tub-to-shower conversion, longer for a full remodel, with a schedule handed over before we start. Village inspections happen at set points, so the schedule is built around them. Everything is on hand before demo.
The call is. Fifteen to thirty minutes, and it ends with a range. If the range fits, we book a visit and tell you the consultation fee first. On a Hartville call we also ask whether you are on village sewer and a well, because most of the village is, and it changes the fixture conversation.
