Basement, kitchen and bathroom remodeling in Johnson County and Basehor.
Gripka & Co. focuses on room-centered residential remodeling that improves how homeowners use their basements, kitchens and bathrooms. We plan each project around function, existing conditions, durable finishes and a clearly written scope.
Start with the room that needs to work better.

Define the project before construction begins.
We begin with the problems to solve, project location, desired timing and budget expectations. Planning identifies visible conditions, scope, selections, responsibilities, allowances and exclusions. Added work is documented before the approved scope changes. Larger remodels are considered selectively when the scope and schedule are a strong fit.
Basement finishing for the way you want to use the space.
A lower level can support family time, entertaining, exercise, work, guests or storage when the rooms and existing conditions are planned together.

Kitchen remodeling built around everyday function.
A strong kitchen plan connects layout, storage, lighting and finish decisions to the way the room is used. See our Leawood kitchen remodel and Olathe kitchen remodel, or explore our kitchen remodeling approach.
Bathroom remodeling with the details coordinated early.
Bathroom projects can involve tile, waterproofing, plumbing, electrical work, ventilation, storage and finish decisions in a compact space. We define the included work and selections before construction so responsibilities and exclusions are clear.

Clear planning before construction begins.
We start with the space, the problems to solve and the project priorities. A site review helps identify visible layout, structural, utility and access questions. The approved proposal then defines the included work, selections, allowances and exclusions.

![Blue kitchen remodel with large teal island, white cabinetry and cage pendant lights.]()
Blue Kitchen
This house had great space to work with and is nestled back on a gorgeous, treed lot. The kitchen was small, dark and not very functional with a small peninsula and only one window. The family was missing the centerpiece of their home, a space to host. We balanced out the layout with the addition of new windows and large, central island.

Pricing depends on the approved scope, selected materials, site conditions and any allowances. After a walkthrough and planning, we provide a written proposal that identifies what is included, excluded or still pending.
-
Permit requirements depend on the location and the work involved. When permits or inspections apply, responsibility should be identified in the written project scope before construction begins.
-
Often, yes, but access, dust, noise and temporary utility interruptions vary by project. We discuss affected rooms, protection and any times the area may be unavailable before work begins.
-
If concealed conditions or requested changes affect the approved scope, we document the added or deleted work, price and schedule impact before that work proceeds.
