At The Remodel Co., we see unfinished basements as opportunities. Whether you need extra living space, a home office, an entertainment zone or a rental suite, a thoughtfully executed basement remodel can turn under‑utilized square footage into a valuable extension of your home. We serve homeowners in Kansas City and surrounding areas, combining design creativity and technical know‑how to make basements functional, comfortable and attractive.
Finishing a basement is often more affordable than building an addition because the floors and walls are already in place. Homeowners choose this project not only for extra space but also for a strong return on investment, averaging around 70 %. Our team will help you define the scope, plan a realistic budget and deliver a space that enhances your home’s value and livability.
Every basement has unique potential. We offer a full suite of services and tailor each project to your vision, budget and timeline:
We frame walls, insulate and install drywall to create comfortable rooms. Our designers can help you plan open living areas or multi‑room layouts with bedrooms, playrooms, offices or gyms.
As a Wedi-certified installer, we ensure a seamless, mold-resistant, and long-lasting waterproofing solution for showers, bathrooms, and wet areas.
Adding insulation improves comfort and reduces drafts and can make your whole house more energy efficient.
We can add bathrooms or laundry rooms to basements. Projects that add plumbing typically fall at the longer end of the timeline (see timeline guidelines below).
Entertain with a custom bar or create a separate apartment by adding a kitchenette.
Choose from moisture‑resistant options like luxury vinyl plank (LVP), tile or engineered hardwood. Carpet tiles and cork flooring provide warmth and sound insulation.
We install drop ceilings, drywall ceilings or exposed‑beam designs, along with recessed lighting, sconces and LED fixtures to brighten the space.
For safety and code compliance, we install egress windows and exterior doors.
Built‑in shelving, closets and under‑stairs storage keep your basement organized.
While we now offer a full range of remodeling services, tile installation remains our specialty. Our meticulous tile work—on floors, shower surrounds, backsplashes and bar fronts—sets us apart. With decades of experience, we craft precise layouts, intricate patterns and flawless grout lines that stand up to moisture and heavy use.
We guide you through every step of the project. A typical basement remodel includes:
We discuss your goals, measure your basement and provide a detailed estimate. At this stage we also check for moisture issues or structural concerns that must be addressed.
Together we develop a layout and select materials. We recommend thorough planning to prevent delays—good planning is the #1 factor that impacts remodeling timelines.
We review costs and create a project schedule. Basements can be simple or complex, so timelines vary
We waterproof, insulate and frame walls, rough‑in electrical and plumbing, and remove any mold or damaged materials.
Our craftsmen install drywall, flooring and ceilings. This is where our tile expertise shines—whether laying intricate patterns on a bathroom floor or creating a custom backsplash for your basement bar.
We paint, install trim and add hardware, then complete a final inspection to ensure quality and code compliance.
A finished basement alleviates crowding on the main floors and can become a bedroom, home office, gym, playroom or media room.
Remodeling Magazine estimates that basement remodels return about 70 % of their cost on resale.
Insulating the basement reduces heat transfer and drafts, making your home more energy efficient
Addressing moisture, waterproofing and adding ventilation during remodeling reduces the risk of mold and mildew.
A basement with a separate entrance and amenities can become a rental apartment or Airbnb.
Improved lighting, ventilation and insulation create a comfortable space that can be enjoyed year‑round.
Define your scope and stick to it. Material and finish choices can vary widely; plan for contingencies.
Waterproofing and proper drainage are essential to protect your investment.
Use moisture‑resistant flooring and wall finishes. Avoid overspending on finishes that exceed the quality used in the rest of your home.
Changes after construction starts can add cost and time.
