Experience the difference
Approaching designs with our exclusive Sanctuary Shift process, seeing
things from a different perspective.
What we create
Seven disciplines,
one Sanctuary Shift
Renovation is disruptive by nature. Our answer is a process that starts in your home, is drawn around how you actually live, and stays with one team through the final walkthrough. Open a discipline to see where yours begins.
Architects have famously never done the laundry. We reconfigure the floor plan around what really lands here — the signed permission slip, the cleats, the coats, the dog after a wet walk — so the room absorbs the day instead of adding to it.
- Custom cabinetry
- Message center
- Locker storage
- Dog wash station
Material board
- Honed slate
- Rift white oak
- Unlacquered brass
A wardrobe earns its keep in the eleven minutes before you leave the house. We design for the life event as much as the clothing — so you walk out professional, put together and certain of it.
- Walk-in wardrobes
- Dressing rooms
- Built-in storage
Material board
- Fumed walnut
- Linen panel
- Antique nickel
This is where the Sanctuary Shift is felt first. We guide you through the options that make a bath cohesive rather than merely new — calmer to stand in, simpler to keep, and built around the reset button you press twice a day.
- Soaking tubs
- Steam showers
- Heated floors
Material board
- Honed marble
- Soapstone
- Unlacquered brass
Interior design and construction under one roof, so the drawing and the build never argue. Most families stay home through a kitchen renovation; we plan for that too, with dust barriers, floor protection, a temporary coffee station and a heads-up the day before anything loud.
- Custom cabinetry
- Layout expansion
- Luxury appliances
Material board
- Quartzite
- Painted cabinetry
- Zellige tile
A vibrant extension of the living area rather than a room you apologise for. Whether that reads as a family room, a home office, a gym or somewhere to disappear on a Friday night, the level below can carry it.
- Home theatres
- Wine cellars
- In-law suites
- Cigar lounge
Material board
- Wide-plank oak
- Millwork in ink
- Leathered stone
Covered patios, outdoor kitchens, pergolas and curated hardscaping — detailed to the same standard as the rooms they open onto, and built for an Ohio winter as much as a July evening.
- Covered patios
- Outdoor kitchens
- Pergolas
Material board
- Bluestone paving
- Cedar timber
- Patinated copper
An entry ramp integrated into the landscape rather than bolted to the porch. Doorways widened, a shower made barrier-free, a first-floor living and dining room turned into a full suite. Accessibility handled as design work, which is the only way it ever looks like it belongs.
- Barrier-free baths
- Wider doorways
- Adaptive kitchens
- Aging in place
Material board
- Slip-resistant porcelain
- Comfort-height oak
- Integrated brass rail
Every specialty, delivered with the Harlequin standard.

Our Reputation
Built on Trust, Reviewed by Those We Serve
For three decades, our reputation has been earned one home and one relationship at a time. Here is what our clients across Northeast Ohio have to say about the journey.
29 June 2026
Master BathroomLindsey Jovanovic
Remodel of an original 1999 master bath that suffered from no storage, a very small shower, and a dated built-in tub. The reviewer collected three quotes and chose Harlequin as the most competitive — but says the real differentiator was that Tracy provided a visual layout of the space before any contract was signed, which none of the competitors would do. Describes the crew as respectful and timely. Notes that months after completion, when a pipe froze in the bathroom, Tracy sent a plumber out to check it, which the reviewer counted as going above and beyond. Posted before and after photos.
16 January 2026
Two BathroomsAaron Graham
Harlequin took over two bathroom projects from a previous contractor who had stalled. One bath used cabinets and fixtures sourced elsewhere; the second was done entirely by Harlequin. The reviewer's central point is communication — they contrast Harlequin's follow-up and responsiveness against other contractors who left them uninformed. Credits Frank with accommodating detailed requests and Tracy with running between suppliers. Addresses the management fee directly, arguing it becomes a non-issue once the project is moving and the work is getting done. Views the husband-and-wife ownership as a positive.

Full Bathroom RenovationDiane Zucco
Complete renovation of a bathroom in a 1958 home where nothing but the toilet and flooring had ever been updated. Finished on schedule. Notes that the team provided guidance on several issues that came up along the way and that Frank communicated at every stage. Calls the experience pleasant start to finish and recommends the company for kitchen or bath work.
31 July 2025
Tub-to-Shower ConversionBill
Short, positive review covering replacement of a bathtub with a walk-in shower. Describes Tracy, Frank, and the wider team as professional and great to work with, and recommends them.
28 January 2024
Two BathroomsSheila Swift
A long, detailed review of a two-bathroom renovation. Praises the balance of function and appearance, saying the team took time to understand the household's needs and preferences before designing. Highlights meticulous selection of fixtures and tile to produce a cohesive result. Emphasizes open communication and prompt handling of concerns throughout, and says the finished bathrooms exceeded expectations and added to the home's appeal and value.
5 January 2024
Master SuiteKaren Pach
Homeowners with an early-2000s Tuscan-style build wanted a change and remodeled their master suite. Interviewed five contractors and chose Harlequin decisively. Cites design ideas, thorough follow-through, and genuine courtesy. Notes the project manager gave daily updates. Says surprises were rare, and the few that surfaced were resolved with good alternative solutions. Plans to use the company again.

RenovationMatt Michaels
Enthusiastic review with before and after photos attached. The stated goal was hiring someone who would do the job right without needing constant supervision — and the reviewer says Harlequin delivered. Singles out Frank for keeping them informed and holding work to a high standard. Notes that the subcontracted trades were each specialists in their own craft and that all of them treated the home respectfully.

Brief review. Describes the people as very nice and excellent at their profession, with a strong recommendation.
3 April 2021
Laundry RoomTimothy Everett
Laundry room renovation that addressed poor lighting, no counter space, and a dark, hard-to-reach storage area. Danielle and Tracy designed a layout that expanded the room into an adjacent closet, adding a washer/dryer tower and broom closet, plus cabinetry, open shelving, and a new sink. Harlequin self-performed plumbing, electrical, carpentry, masonry, ductwork, drywall, and painting. Reviewer praises daily schedule updates, the effort to keep the old washer and dryer running mid-construction during COVID, and thorough end-of-day cleanup. Has since rehired the company for bathroom work.

Whole HomeMaryBeth Richmond
The most extensive project in the record — a near-gut renovation of a 2,000 sq ft late-1960s ranch for a large multigenerational family of ten. Walls removed, new rooms created, and a new kitchen, dining room, mud room, full bath, and bedroom suite with walk-in closet added; virtually no space untouched. The reviewer worked closely with Tracy on design and credits her with studying how the family actually functions before laying out the kitchen, resulting in a space where multiple people including six children can cook together without crowding. Notes Frank stopped by daily as project manager, tradespeople were meticulous and punctual, and the team resequenced the remodel during the pandemic so the household was never without a kitchen, bedroom, or living room.
11 March 2021
Major KitchenBarb Root
Major kitchen remodel completed on time in eight weeks. Reviewer was kept informed daily about what would happen next. Describes the team as incredible professionals who became like family, and the result as the dream kitchen, pantry, coffee bar, laundry room, and bathroom they had wanted for years. Intends to use them again.

Frames the review against the common expectation of contractor horror stories and says Harlequin is the opposite, recommending them for any home work.

One-line review citing good management and quality products.

KitchenCandice Michalski
Detailed account of design problem-solving. The team unified two rooms by removing a wall, reused existing cabinets by rearranging them, refreshing finishes and hardware, and adding new matching units; found a way to lower a microwave into reach; built a custom drawer that opens under tight clearance; and recommended the backsplash tile. Reviewer notes the team stayed conscious of the disruption a large project causes and kept things moving. No complaints.
11 January 2017
Kitchen DesignJim Bartholomew
Brief positive review noting friendly, helpful suggestions that improved the kitchen design, and contractors who were professional in meeting installation requirements.

Cabinets · Via BuilderNadine Wright
A mixed review. The reviewer found Tracy accommodating and easy to reach before the order was placed, but harder to reach afterward. A cabinet was bleached by acne medication; Tracy sourced a replacement door nearly a year later, which the reviewer called commendable, though the replacement had a flaw and the line had since been discontinued. The larger issue was pricing — working through a builder allowance, the reviewer believed their selection was within budget but the final price came in at roughly double what they expected, which they attribute to a misunderstanding. The builder absorbed part of the cost and the reviewer downgraded slightly. Advises future customers to confirm pricing very clearly up front. Still recommends the company, describing everyone as pleasant and saying she believes Tracy stands behind her work.
17 April 2014
Kitchen CabinetsAndrea Reedy
The reviewer was searching for entry-level cabinets for a home she was selling and had struggled for weeks with layout. Says Tracy assessed her plan and quickly produced a materially better layout, and navigated competing input from her mother and sister with grace. Reports bracing for a high quote and instead being floored by how low it was, with cabinets delivered in one week. Advises going to Harlequin first rather than shopping discount warehouses and big-box stores. Writing from Medina, Ohio.
