01
Design + Concept
The Remodel Studio prioritizes visionary interior design, ensuring spaces are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical and budget-aligned. We go beyond mood boards to create detailed construction documents and renders that serve as a robust foundation for the entire project.
We do not markup finish material selections, and pass on all vendor discounts.
03
Construction
Tools hit the job site. Efficiency and precision define our construction management at The Remodel Studio. Our qualified project managers conduct daily inspections, ensuring that every trade adheres to our rigorous standards at each phase. Inspection reports are generated at every milestone. We prioritize cleanliness and strict adherence to timelines, guaranteeing a well-organized worksite and steady progress. Communicate with the entire team using our Basecamp Digital Portal and Company Cam.
02
42-Step-Preconstruction Plan
Our 42-step preconstruction process meticulously outlines the scope of work and aligns construction documents with the budget, eliminating unexpected change orders. This thorough approach ensures a smooth transition to construction with no hidden costs or surprises. Our project developement wraps up with a fixed priced contract and a no change orders guarantee.

Why Clients Love Us
"TRS gave great attention to detail every step of the way. We had the entire project completed on site, which was very helpful if any questions came up during the process.
Refinishing our cabinets took about a week, yet we had access to our kitchen almost the entire time.
The results are phenomenal---we will have the team back to work on our basement soon."
--Watkins Family
"This was my second time painting my kitchen. The first attempt was with larger paint company who completed multiple projects per week. Within a few years, my cabinets began to show wear.
TRS explained the products they were using and the importance of quality cabinet finishing---and not simply hiring a paint company. The difference is clear, and my kitchen is happy."
--Tan Family
"TRS crew were simply top notch. A kitchen renovation is an investment of time and money, and you need professionals with the same mindset. The design insight and responsiveness was so appreciated. TRS was honest in opinion and never grew tired of answering questions over the course of 6 months.
I trusted TRS knowledge and the process. Couldn’t be more please with our kitchen and know it was money well spent. Highly recommend! Thanks, Remodel Studio!"

FAQ

The Remodel Studio offers residential design + contracting + consulting services with an emphasis on full home remodels. Our services include lower levels, main level, kitchens, primary bathrooms and more.
The Remodel Studio works in in person in Missouri and Kansas.
I have never remodeled before, what does a project like this cost?
Don't worry---most of our clients are remodel newbies. It's something most of us only do once or twice. The investment amount is the most asked question and the most difficult to give a quick answer to!
We have remodeled homes for your neighbors starting at 60K and we have remodeled homes for your neighbor's starting at 250K.
An accurate quote must be based on accurate permitable plans, with specific material selections.
To translate---we need to deep dive into exact selections, design and make sure the plans are safe and to code. We pride ourself in a low percentage of change orders by taking time early in the project to build a specific scope paired with finish selections.
Entry level cabinet refacing projects with new countertops, tile and light electrical paired with light modifications are estimated to start between 35k - $50k.
New kitchen builds start around 70K for stock or entry level cabinetry, but many clients opt for semi or custom builds in the range of $100-160k.
Curious about your specific floor plan or options ---we always offer a complimentary design + budget concept after our initial phone or video consult, emailed to your inbox. The initial concept generally falls within 35% of the final quote, based on information discussed. Final quotes are created in two phases, during the design phase and the construction phase.
I am overwhelmed---I don't know what I need...
Let's chat--we are happy to answer you remodel questions. Set up a video call and we will deep dive into both design and contracting questions. It's complementary and you will receive an initial investment and design budget after we discuss your project. After you receive your concept package, we offer a site visit and measure meeting. An opportunity for our team to take a look at the project and chat with you in more detail.
Do you offer stand alone design?
Yes, you all have been asking for it. We will offer stand alone design package soon. This includes virtual. Almost all of our design clients move to the build |management phase with us. Our design process starts with a retainer and contract. All drawings, renders and design sourcing belong to you.
What does the design process look like?
The design phase relies heavily on our clients input, site measurements and final material selections. Material selections range from entry level/builder grade to luxury/high end. There are many variables we need final decisions on to give a final price. Just like a Kia is priced different than a Ferrari, same for kitchens!
At The Remodel Studio, work one-on-one with our clients through the entire design and scope creation process to ensure you get maximum value for your design investment. Someone from our design team will assist with all finish and color selections. This includes grout, cabinet style, floor stain, hardware, tile and more to ensure a cohesive design plan.
It is the most creative and fun part---besides the final reveal.
How long does the design and construction process take?
Design selections rely heavily on quick client communication and responsiveness. How quickly clients make final decisions and communicate with the team is VERY important. Construction is generally a minimum of 8-12 weeks based on scope and material availability--trades will NOT be in your home daily and you will have use of your home throughout most of the project.
During the remodel, you will communicate with the entire team using interactive project management software that can be accessed through your phone or desktop. All site documents, updates and communication tools, are right at your fingertips. This ensures your project is managed well---even with slight delays or unexpected surprises that may happen in construction.
