"Kent did an amazing job with my custom basement project which included a intricate media wall, wet bar, fire place, custom built in safe , closets, full bathroom, office space and studio. His work is impeccable as is his attention to detail. Very easy to work with, communicates well and made several changes as the project developed to ensure the best possible outcome. This is now my favorite part of the house! Highly recommend Kent at KC Custom Shutters , you want this company to do your basement or other home improvements!"

"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."

""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 Bryan Casey Construction to finish our basement. They did quality work from the initial design and layout to the final touch ups. Each stage of the work was generally on time and the workers were professional and helpful. Julie was great to provide design consultation and kept us up to date on the project status. Bryan was on site to oversee pieces of the project, as needed. They were quick to fix any issues that were encountered along the way. We are very pleased with the end result and highly recommend the company!"

"Working with Omni was great. From the bid to the final inspection, everyone coming into my home was kind, personable, respectful, and most importantly good at their jobs. John gave me a full written scope and helped me to see the possibilities in our 1954 basement with asbestos tile. In 5 weeks they transformed it into the basement of my dreams. I didn’t know it could look this good. The foreman walked us through each part of the transformation as it happened, so I know how everything works and that it was done right. I would definitely recommend them and will call them for future jobs."

"John and his crew did an excellent job. They completed remodel in 6 weeks and on budget. They were all very professional and friendly. I have 2 toddlers and a dog and felt very safe and secure with the crew coming into house over the 6 weeks. The project turned out better than I had envisioned and we actually like spending our family time in the basement more than our main floor now. I highly recommend John and his crew and would work with them in the future if we have any more remodeling needs. Excellent company."

FAQs for basement remodeling projects in Lees Summit, MO

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.
