Our Story
Why Creative Renovations?
Making dreams a reality, by allowing homeowners with special needs to live in a completely barrier-free environment, is our mission.
From those aging in place to wounded veterans, we have the handicap remodeling expertise to deliver critical accessibility solutions. Our team has decades of experience in constructing or remodeling handicap-accessible homes, rooms and environments in Columbus and Central Ohio.
Our Story
Creative Renovations was launched to address the growing need for a centralized expert resource that could deliver handicapped-accessible construction and renovation services that are safe, reliable, affordable and inspiring to families and individuals in Greater Columbus. Through our work with many families, we have learned that it is a very difficult decision for families to decide when the right time is to accept when their loved one may need handicapped renovations to their home safe and livable.
With the rising cost of long-term care facilities, the need for people to stay in their homes is a real fiscal issue affecting state and local governments. And sometimes, tragedy just happens, and families need to adapt quickly to their new realities. These are the reasons Creative Housing expanded and created Creative Renovations and why our services are so important to the community.

Our Difference
We make families and individuals feel comfortable while delivering critical handicapped-accessible construction solutions that just could not be developed by a traditional builder. No builder out there today understands how to fully automate or “voice activate” a home. We do! It is a direct result of over 30 years of providing adaptive housing for people with disabilities. We have seen the need firsthand, we have learned how to do it better than anyone else and we have listened to the community. Creative Renovations is the next generation of independence for people with disabilities.
