"Our project with Joe went absolutely spectacularly! From the planning, to the start date, to demo, to the painting and installs. Communication outstanding all along the way. We had some supply chain delay issues (vendor related), and Joe did a fine job mitigating any slowdowns. We are **** happy with our results and will use him again. I am almost hesitant to give him this glowing review because I am afraid y'all will steal him from us!? Really, you should use Joe. Your house will thank you."

"We've used B&R for a number of projects. He's highly skilled, creative, honest, and dependable. A bathroom remodel was the most extensive project. I'm listing it's details below to show the extent of Brandon's work and capabilities. It involved taking out a tub and constructing a walk-in shower with a seat, along with removing a vanity and replacing it with two smaller ones, medicine cabinets for each, lighting, a new toilet, and a fan/heater combo in the ceiling. It also involved removing existing tile, and extensive tile installation in the shower, on bathroom walls, and the bathroom floor. Brandon is especially gifted in his tile working ability. He also remodeled a bedroom for us into an art studio, and several smaller projects."

"I hired LeByrds to partially finish my basement (rough in, electrical, mechanical, drywall, and stairs). I am doing paint and flooring. Rob and Matt did a good job coordinating all their subcontractors and were very responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the project. The subcontractors?s quality was just okay. I would recommend for rough in and drywall. Probably not for millwork. The good, Rob and Matt were very responsive and kept me informed on the schedule. Overall good value and worked with me to coordinate what I wanted to do and what I wanted them to do."

"If you’re looking for someone who’s reliable, skilled, and genuinely cares about the quality of their work—hire Smart Home Remodeling. Pero, the company owner, is a true jack of all trades and incredibly easy to work with. From start to finish, Pero made sure I was completely satisfied with the results. He first rebuilt my fence and had it done in just three days—fast, efficient, and beautifully done. I was so impressed that I hired him again to take on a much bigger project: converting a half bath into a full bath. This involved moving plumbing and making structural changes, and Pero handled it flawlessly. His background as a home inspector shows—he knows how to do things right and up to code, with no corners cut. The end result? A stunning new bathroom and a smooth, stress-free renovation process. His pricing was very reasonable for both jobs, and the return on investment has been well worth it. I can’t recommend Pero highly enough!"

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. "

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Leawood, 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.
