Construction continues for this whole house, West Oakwood renovation. Kent Development Group has spent months weatherizing the exterior of this historical 1920’s Georgian style house. Exterior improvements include, new copper dormers, rebuilding the chimneys and renovating the decorative box gutter system. Once the house was dried in, we could focus on the interior renovations including a new kitchen and pantry room to go along with four new bathrooms. In addition, the hardwood floors were refinished to add to the homes charm.

Jessup Residence
Construction is complete for the facade improvements to the Washington Township Recreation Center. We started by removing the original, diagonal cedar siding and updating the front elevation to a more contemporary look. Stucco stone was added to the lower portions, standing seam metal roof was added to the overhang and Hardi lap siding was installed to the upper sections.

Starting on August 10th, the ARC (Architectural Reuse Company) will be deconstructing the two story, four unit stone apartment building located at 121 Salem Avenue. Our deconstruction efforts will include the removal by hand the stone veneer, slate roofing, historical interior trim including oak mantels and doors. Our goal is to pre-sale all the materials on site (available end of August).


Real Art Design Group
In June, 2009 Kent Development Group completed the construction of the 17,800 square foot building for the Real Art Design Group. Their new spaces consist of a large open design studio (addition over the existing CMU building, a new center lunch room area and a new three story residential tower to the west (towards Brixx). The exterior is clad with cement fiber panels, cor-ten steel and stucco. Interior cladding consists of bamboo paneling, MDF paneling and exposed framing.
For this McPherson Town couple, Kent Development Group, applied a new five color paint scheme to their historical residence. In addition to countless hours scraping and preparing the siding, our carpenters reworked/rebuilt the exterior trim, decking and porch railing. The results are a magnificent exterior transformation.
