If you’re tired of working around your bathroom, start with what gets in the way. We take on complete bathroom remodels in Overland Park, along with kitchens and basement finishing and remodeling.
Tarantola is a family-owned remodeling business led by Ross Tarantola. Here’s a look at our work and some decisions worth making before you choose the tile.
Replacing finishes can change the look of a bathroom. A complete remodel also gives you a chance to reconsider the shower, tub, vanity and the space between them. Tell us where you bump into a door, run out of counter space or wish you had another drawer.
The photographs here show two separate Overland Park bathrooms. They’re useful examples of tile and cabinetry details; the best arrangement for your room still starts with its measurements and how you use it.

Include entry doors, shower doors and drawers when you think about circulation. A layout needs to work with them open, too.
Separate everyday toiletries from towels and bulk supplies. That helps distinguish the drawers you need from shelving that would be nice to have.
A connected closet or laundry area may belong in the same conversation. Decide whether those spaces are part of the project or will stay as they are.
For an Overland Park kitchen remodel, walk us through a normal meal: where groceries land, where you prepare food and who else is in the room. Cabinet storage, appliances and seating all compete for space.
The kitchen pictured here uses tall cabinets beside the refrigerator and storage around the room’s corners. Think through what you need to put away before settling on a cabinet layout.
Kitchen remodeling detailsA basement can have several jobs, but it doesn’t need every feature. For finishing or remodeling in Overland Park, rank the uses that matter to you, then account for stairs, equipment access and existing utilities.
The documented Olathe basement connects a living area, nearly full kitchen and game space. Use it to consider how activities fit together, rather than as a list of things your basement must include.
Basement finishing & remodelingTour the Olathe basementIn our Stilwell bathroom and closet project, moving walls changed the bathroom arrangement. The connected closet received custom storage and stacked laundry. That’s an example of a broader scope to discuss if improving the bathroom alone won’t solve the problem.

Use Overland Park’s residential permit guidance to check the proposed work. Include fixture moves, wall changes and electrical work in that discussion, rather than describing a complete remodel only by its new finishes.
Consider who uses the tub, how often and what you would gain by changing it. Bring both options to the conversation. Available space, fixture locations and the rest of the layout need to be considered together.
Yes, it can be a separate scope decision. Identify the boundary clearly, especially if a proposed bathroom change affects a shared wall, doorway or laundry connection.
Ask which demolition, fixture changes, tile areas, cabinetry and adjacent-room work it includes. Also ask who will handle applicable permit applications and inspections, and how discoveries behind existing finishes will be addressed.

What changes the budget, what an allowance covers and how to compare estimates for the same work.
