Need another place to relax, have friends over or watch the game? We finish and remodel basements across Johnson County, with a focus on Overland Park and Leawood, around how you want to use the space.
Seating and the fireplace give the living area a focus. The adjoining kitchen keeps food, drinks and conversation close by.
This finished basement brings living, food preparation and games into the same project. These are a few of its gathering spaces.
A nearly full kitchen makes preparation part of the downstairs space. The wine nook sits beside it, behind a custom glass door.
For your space: consider what you want to prepare downstairs and how much storage that calls for.
The dual-TV area has its own seating and a continuous run of illuminated cabinetry for the entertainment setup.
For your space: think about screen placement, seating, sound and the equipment you want to keep within reach.

Explore the Olathe projectTell us what you want to do downstairs and what’s there now. A few details about the space will help us talk through the work.
Permit requirements depend on the work and where your home is. They need to be checked for your project.
Identify the activities that matter most, the furniture or equipment involved and how people will move between them.
Describe finished areas, storage, stairs and access to existing equipment. Note what you want to keep and what needs to change.
Low areas, beams, ducts and utility locations are important to discuss before settling on a layout.
Share any known water entry, dampness or previous moisture problems. They need evaluation before the finishing scope can be settled.
No. The Olathe project shows one combination of uses. Start with what would make downstairs useful to you, whether that is a living area, a place to entertain or a different arrangement of existing rooms.
A half bath was part of the Olathe basement. For your home, discuss the existing utilities and proposed location as part of the complete remodel; that example does not establish what will work in every basement.
You can begin with how you want to use the space and any concerns about its current condition. Include your city or ZIP when you get in touch.
