What we do

Full Kitchen Remodel

A full remodel is the version where the room is emptied and rebuilt: cabinets, countertops, flooring, lighting, and usually some movement of plumbing or electrical. It is also the version where every permit rule in your city applies at once.

What it involves

Design and product selection come first and take longer than most people expect, because cabinet dimensions fix everything downstream. Permits follow the drawings. Demolition is fast. Rough-in — plumbing, electrical, any framing change — is where inspections cluster and where whatever is inside the walls finally reveals itself. Finishes go last, and countertops cannot be templated until the cabinets are physically set.

Permits, and why the city matters

In Kansas City, Missouri this scope routes to an interior remodel permit supported by a written scope-of-work letter and existing and proposed floor plans, with separate permit applications for each trade involved. In Kansas City, Kansas, scaled drawings are required on every residential application, though the plot plan is waived when work stays inside the existing footprint. In Overland Park the cabinets themselves are exempt, but the electrical and plumbing that comes with them is not. Because a full remodel touches everything, assume permits and ask early.

What it costs

Published regional figures put a minor midrange kitchen remodel in Kansas City at about $27,800 and a major midrange remodel at about $82,300 — according to the Remodeling 2025 Cost vs. Value Report (www.costvsvalue.com).

Those are typical published figures for the market rather than an estimate for your kitchen. The gap between them is mostly scope and cabinet tier.
