For this family of seven, we transformed an existing bathroom and closet into two full bathrooms. The hall bath consisted of 48″x34″ shower, water closet, pedestal sink and built-in wall cabinet. For the new master bathroom, the homeowners asked us to provide them with a ‘nicer’ master bathroom. Therefore we responded with a custom slate tiled shower (7′x4′), painted wood paneled wainscot, custom vanity with granite countertop and undermounted sinks.

Recently we completed the historical renovation of the residence located at 520 Hickory Street in Historical South Park. Construction details include sustainable or green design principals for a truly energy efficient historical renovation. Numerous products were reused or recycled including the cabinetry, flooring, windows and door.
Recently Kent Development Group challenged their new interior decorator, Tracy to economically renovate their office’s bathroom. With an extremely limited budget and ample reusable supplies, Tracy transformed this space into an inviting and pleasant area which we all appreciate. In addition, KDG can now utilize this redeveloped bathroom as an example of their services.

The Smith residence was the unfortunate victim of an automobile accident where a truck smashed through their masonry front porch. The decorative precast concrete columns, newel posts, balustrade and railings were all severely damaged and unrepairable. Therefore, KDG re-designed the front porch utilizing new painted redwood elements. Now the new front porch and landscaped beds serve as an inviting new entrance to this East Dayton residence. 
In the effort to remain a sustainable & progressive company, Kent Development Group, has recently launched a new division, the Architectural Reclamation Company (ARC). Our goal is to reduce the debris we send to the land fills and offer to the public architecturally significant items. Our current inventory includes: stained glass windows, claw foot tubs, wood mantles, many different variety and species of interior and exterior doors, columns, hardware, iron fencing, and more.
Hours of operation:
10:00am to 2:00 pm the first Saturday of the Month with the grand opening being, November 3, 2007.
Location:
the ARC shop @ 243 Perrine Street in Historical South Park.
Hope to see you there….


520 Hickory is an 1885 home located in historical South Park which Kent Development Group has historically renovated. Utilizing energy efficient and sustainable construction techniques this historical transformation includes the charm of yesteryear with modern amenities. Exterior wise, KDG removed the aluminum and asphalt siding and then conditioned and repaired the original wood siding. Afterwards the house was primed and painted in a five color scheme. In addition, a new historically appropriate front porch was added including rebuilding the front doors. Inside we refinished the 5″ heartwood pine floors and includes granite counter tops over cream glazed cabinetry with stainless steel appliances. First floor layout consists of living, dining, kitchen, bedroom #3, half bath and laundry. Second floor includes two bedrooms, full bath and attic storage area. The house also includes a unfinished basement with new glass block windows. Renovations include new high efficient furnace, high efficient gas water heater, central air conditioning, new plumbing, new 200 amp service and new wiring, security system and attic insulation. This 1,700 square foot house with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths is offered @ $138,900. Please contact Tracy @ 222-0080 for more details.
For this newlywed couple we completed multiple tasks at their Oakwood residence. Our work included designing and building a couple of custom cabinets, installing a new wood front door,and transforming an upstairs bathroom. Within the kitchen we created a new maple peninsula cabinet with a granite top above. Dan and Xenia plan to use the new peninsula for casual dining and utilizing the open storage below. In the dining room, we transformed a closet into a new custom built-in hutch for china display. In addition, we added integral lighting with glass doors and shelving.
