Kent, in Portage County, is about 29 road miles from our base in Brunswick. We paint commercial, institutional and multi-family buildings here, starting with a walkthrough at your building and a written scope and price.
Kent’s commercial buildings
- Kent State University’s Kent Campus covers 953 acres, with 128 academic, administrative, athletic and residence hall buildings and more than 25,000 students.
- Multifamily buildings make up about half of Kent’s housing, and about 60% of occupied units are rented, according to the city’s 2016 housing study.
- The Franklin Hotel on East Main Street downtown, a Classical Revival building, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Planning exterior work in Kent
Kent’s Downtown / West River overlay district has exterior design requirements, and the code calls for Architectural Review Board review of cosmetic exterior changes there, with some exceptions. If your building is downtown, check with the city before an exterior repaint.
