""Basement - Remodel" doesn't really cover it for our project. We added a great room, a bedroom, and a bathroom. In other words, about half a house. I can describe the Tarantola crew's knowledge and execution, both collectively and individually, in three words: "Attention to detail". I grew up in and around commercial and residential construction and I've done some of every one of the jobs required of Tarantola for our project. I was trained to be 'picky', so I am 'picky'. And, I can honestly say that I am not only happy with what they have done, but also proud of what they did and how they did it. Since the late 80's I've built and/or remodeled homes across several states around the country. And, over time, as those projects unwound, I became increasingly convinced that the work ethic that I grew up around was dying, if not dead. Well, I'm happy to report that we here in the KC area have at least one example to prove that there are still people in the business who care."

"Kings remodeled my master bath in 2024 and they just completed a new deck rebuild at back of my house. Once again, with the help of Renee and professional crew, my old crumbling deck is gone with a beautiful new one to replace it! I had an idea of what changes I wanted to make with the new build and Kings worked with me to accomplish that. I highly recommend Kings Collective Remodeling. "

"We hired JB Construction to remodel our master bathroom and bedroom, this project included building a new shower, tile, new fixtures, etc. Joe did such a great job we decided to have the whole second floor remodeled including the other 3 bedrooms, bathroom, laundry room. My wife and I have been very pleased with the work and the how professional Joe and his crew were. This is the second major remodel we have done with JB, he finished our basement 8 years ago. We will be hiring him in 2025 to remodel our first floor which will include the kitchen. Overall I highly recommend JB Construction and if you are looking for quality work, done on budget and on time you will very happy!!!"

"Average Joe was exceptional! They helped me design my dream home and were responsive and easy to work with throughout the project. They told me it would take 12 weeks and it took 11! The remodeling was so extensive that I moved out. The finished product far exceeded my expectations."

"Chris and George did an AMAZING job with our basement and bathroom remodel. They are very detail oriented with a great eye for the little things. They made suggestions that would work well for our project and were always making sure that we were happy with what they had done before moving on to the next aspect of the project. Very easy to work with and flexible when changes/additions occurred with the project. They were always looking out for us when it came to keeping costs down. They are very efficientâ and keep things very neat and tidy, which can be difficult during a big project. We thoroughly enjoyed having them work on our basement. The project was completed as quickly as the pandemic would allow. Chris and George were always making sure different parts of the project were done and ready even when waiting on materials and such. Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone for just about any project. Looking forward to working with them on our next project!! Thanks for excellent work! We love how everything turned out. You guys are awesome!!"

"Fonda and Steve run a fantastic company, excellent communication and quality of craftsmanship. We used them 1st to build decking over our back patio and a privacy wall, to enclose our hot tub. A few months later we had them remodel our kitchen which included adding new cabinets, painting existing cabinets, countertops, backsplash, lighting and plumbing. They were always prompt, dependable, cleaned up after each day’s work and extremely easy to communicate with. My husband and I very satisfied with their work and will most definitely hire them again!"

"Larry and his team are very easy to work with. They are a little on the slow side, but the quality of work is good. Larry had great ideas for a difficult situation with our basement stairway. I would recommend them for your project! Update: We had a problem with our pantry door and Larry came over without hesitation and completely changed the way the door opened. He didn't even charge us for doing so! Thanks Larry and John!"

"My yard has never looked better, a friend recommended Imagine Restorations to me a few weeks ago, I called them and I find out that they are owned by a Dad and 2 sons, River and Ryan, who is can't brag on enough, super professional, on time and superb workmanship, they went over and beyond for us, we ended up going for a cedar picket shadow box fence, they even out bid a close friend of mine, they did all this in 2 days practically, the wood was delivered a day in a half late so they had to improvise, if you need a fence or need a fence repaired, call Ryan or River over at Imagine Restorations. RIVER- (816)598-7860 and RYAN (573)289-9721... you won't regret doing business with these guys."

"I am very pleased with Carl and the work that he did in my home: window installation, wall board, repair, ceiling repair, and he milled a threshold for my entryway. I appreciated his kindness and his willingness to do a rather small, but complicated job. He understood he would only be responsible for the repairs and I could take it from there, because I like to do work like this and keep household repairs within my budget. Thank you, Carl."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Shawnee, KS

Finishing a basement turns unused square footage into livable space and returns up to 70% of what you spend when you sell your home. Beyond that resale boost, you gain a playroom, home office, or guest suite you can start enjoying right away. That mix of daily comfort and solid return on investment (ROI) makes basement finishing one of the smartest upgrades you can tackle.

In some parts of the country—especially lots on swamps, high water tables, or other wetlands—local codes prohibit basements. Saturated soil puts constant pressure on foundation walls and lets water seep in faster than any sump pump can handle. 

If your property sits on waterlogged ground, building on a slab or crawl space is often safer, more affordable, and code-compliant.

Most basements wrap up in four to eight weeks. Framing takes three to five days, with electrical and plumbing rough-ins following over the next week. Add five days for drywall, two to three for flooring, and another week for paint, trim, and punch-list items. 

Delays can happen if materials run late or your contractor’s calendar is packed, so build in a little cushion when you plan.

Whether a finished basement counts toward your home’s official square footage depends on local rules. Many areas only include below-grade space if it has code-approved egress, fully finished walls, ceilings, and floors, plus consistent heating. 

Check with your local assessor or building department before you start; meeting those standards can affect taxes, appraisals, and resale value.

Building codes require a checklist: dedicated heat and electrical service, a code-approved stairway, and at least one egress window or exterior door. Walls, ceilings, and floors must be fully finished and meet insulation, ventilation, and fire-separation standards. If you add a bedroom, you’ll also need a closet, proper clearances, and safe exits. If you change the layout later, be ready to update the space so every new room still meets today’s code.
