Kitchen Remodeling in Kansas City, Designed by Our Own Team

5.0 from 88 Google reviews

Founded in 2020 by brothers Steven and Ben Ross, Renovating KC designs and builds kitchens, baths, basements and whole homes on both sides of the state line.

Designers and builders working from one Lenexa office

Renovating KC handles kitchen remodeling in Kansas City from concept to completion, with its own designers, project managers and construction managers on staff. The firm works from an office in Lenexa, Kansas, and takes on homes on both the Kansas and Missouri sides of the metro.

Every kitchen starts with a conversation about what matters most to you. The design team then builds floor plans, mood boards, curated design boards and 3-D renderings, so you see the room before demolition.

Licensed contractors and trusted subcontractors take it from there, and clients often thank their designer and construction manager by name in reviews.

Kitchen remodeling in Kansas City and the rooms around it

Kitchen Remodels and Renovations

Layout changes, removed walls and relocated plumbing or electrical, or a lighter renovation that swaps cabinets, counters, flooring and appliances in the same footprint. Renovating KC does both and helps you choose. Its kitchens won 2025 REMY Gold and Silver awards for Residential Kitchen Remodel.

Bathroom Remodels

Spa-style primary baths, guest baths and powder rooms, large or small. In-house interior designers help you pick fixtures, tile, lighting and paint colors, and a Renovating KC bath took 2024 REMY Gold for a Residential Bathroom Remodel Under $40,000.

Basement Finishing

Home theaters, playrooms, guest suites, gyms and custom bars that turn unfinished square footage into living space. Most families stay in the house during the work. Basements earned a 2025 REMY Silver, and one recent lower level added a climbing wall, ball pit and stage.

Whole-Home Remodels

Modernizing an older house, opening the floor plan or making room for a growing family. The team coordinates every room and system on one schedule, and a whole-home project won 2024 REMY Gold for Entire House Remodel in the $200,000 to $300,000 class.

Additions and Attic Build-Outs

Additions and attic conversions add space you can use every day. One Google reviewer had upstairs guest rooms and an unfinished attic turned into a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a large walk-in closet and a bath. A Renovating KC addition won 2025 REMY Gold and All-Star honors.

We highly recommend Renovating KC. Everything about our kitchen/first floor remodel was a positive experience. Their designers, contractors & our Construction Manager Nick kept our project on time, on budget & gave us a new Kitchen & living space we absolutely love. We will definitely have Renovating KC back for our second floor remodel.

Renovating KC completed a large project for us to transform our upstairs guest bedrooms and unfinished attic into a large master bedroom suite with vaulted ceilings, a huge custom walk-in closet, and bathroom.

We couldn’t be happier with the outcome of our basement renovation. We reached out to Renovating KC in February to discuss our basement, and after our consultation, we knew they were the perfect company to make it happen.

Kitchen remodel questions from Kansas City homeowners

What is the difference between a kitchen remodel and a renovation?

A renovation updates what is already there, such as cabinets, counters, flooring or appliances, without changing the layout. A remodel changes the layout itself by removing walls or moving plumbing and electrical. Renovating KC offers both and helps you pick the approach that fits your goals, budget and the way your family uses the room.

What budget should I plan for?

The kitchen and bathroom inquiry form starts at a $25,001 to $50,000 budget band, and the general consultation form starts at $50,001, with bands up to $500,000 and more for whole homes. Share your range when you reach out, and the team will build the scope of work and preliminary estimate around it.

Can we stay in the house during the work?

For basement finishing, yes: most homeowners keep living at home while the crew works efficiently and keeps the area clean. On bigger jobs it depends on scope. One client family lived in the house for the last couple of months of a near-complete gut remodel and said the crew was friendly and respectful the whole time.

What warranty comes with a project?

Every completed Renovating KC project includes a full 12-month warranty. It is the final step of the same process that starts with your consultation and runs through design and construction, and the company states plainly that it stands behind its work. Ask your project manager to walk you through what it covers.

Which areas do you serve?

Renovating KC works across the greater Kansas City metro from its Lenexa office, including Overland Park, Leawood, Olathe, Shawnee, Prairie Village and Mission Hills in Kansas and Brookside, Waldo, Lee's Summit, Liberty and Independence in Missouri. Call (913) 481-1236 if your town is not listed and the team will tell you.

Will I see the design before construction starts?

Yes. The design team builds floor plans, material selections, mood boards, curated design boards and 3-D renderings, and walks you through options until the space matches what you pictured. Construction begins once the design and schedule are approved.

Who manages my project day to day?

A dedicated project manager keeps you updated, checks quality and keeps the work efficient and clean, while in-house crews and trusted subcontractors do the building. Clients often thank their designer and construction manager by name in reviews.

When can I reach the office?

The Lenexa office at 14021 W 95th St answers (913) 481-1236 Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm. You can also request a free consultation online and the team will set up a time to talk.
