Kicking Off 2026: Two Remodels That Set the Tone for the Year

We’re excited to share progress on two projects we kicked off shortly after the start of 2026. Both sets of clients have been wonderful to work with, which always makes our job that much more enjoyable.

Our first project of the year is a two-bathroom remodel in Mission Hills, completed in collaboration with Marci Knoff Interiors. These bathrooms were ready for a refresh, and while the existing layouts didn’t require major structural changes, the updates were substantial. One of the key improvements included relocating the master shower to a corner previously occupied by a window. While we’re perfectly comfortable installing a window in a shower, it does require extra care to ensure long-term durability. To meet that need, we replaced the old unit with a Marvin Vivid window—an ideal choice for wet environments thanks to its composite interior. As an added bonus, Marvin’s Vivid line is manufactured right here in Kansas City.

We also installed new vanities from Parks Cabinets, added a heated tile floor, and refreshed the finishes throughout. The new layout creates a better flow and gives the homeowners a bathroom designed to last for years to come.

Just one week later, we kicked off our second project of 2026: a full kitchen, pantry, and hallway remodel in Prairie Village—again partnering with Marci Knoff Interiors. Though the rooms underwent a complete overhaul, none of the walls were moved. By working closely with Parks Cabinets, we finalized cabinet drawings and started production before demo day. This allowed us to streamline the construction timeline and deliver the finished spaces in about 10 weeks—faster than a typical kitchen remodel.

As we’ve moved through this project, I’ve been reflecting on how well it represents the experience we aim to provide. These clients have been out of Kansas City for nearly the entire duration of the remodel, yet communication has remained smooth and consistent. By focusing on selections and details during pre‑construction, the project has progressed efficiently, giving the owners confidence that their vision is being executed even while they’re away.

Stay tuned for more updates as we wrap up these exciting projects and begin several new ones in the near future!
