The Stuff We Do
Here at Total Home, we don’t do MEDIOCRE. In order to properly show off our remodeling talent and skill, we rounded up the worthiest products our industry could offer. If you’re looking to buy a cheap-quality, cheap-warrantied, piece-of-poop product that could be just as easily found at your local hardware store, then please, leave this site immediately– best of luck to ya! But if you aim to install “The Good Stuff” by all means read-on:
We are an authorized Kansas City Marvin Window & Door dealer. This means that the big whig’s over at Marvin Windows Corporate actually trust us with the wheelings and dealings of their window & door product. That’s not too shabby in our book. Marvin likes to custom manufacture wood windows to your specifications (that means size, shape, color– you name it) and gives a slammin’ warranty to boot! Now, not all folks are into the tree-clad window look. For those of you who desire more of a synthetic appeal in your replacement window, Marvin’s Integrity Window line is something to take a look at. They can give you multiple color options for your fiberglass window replacement. And you can trust Total Home after over a decade of installing in the Kansas City area. More on Windows…
The Gerkin guys do it, and they do it well. They’ve been crankin’ out good-looking storm doors since 1932 (that’s around the time Pat was born). A few of the super-cool features we like about the doors include lifetime hinges, foam-insulated frames, concealed installation screws, aluminum clad kick panels, adjustable sill expanders and deep wool pile weatherstripping. All models include tempered glass for safety. And the neatest part– ordering your storm door is as easy as 1,2,3! You pick the model, color, hardware and options. We take it from there! Fun stuff, eh? More on Storm Doors…
Taking on the adventure of a home improvement or remodeling project— whether major or minor— can evoke a variety of emotions. Excitement, fear, confusion, insecurity, hostility, shame (well, to each his own)… The point is, home remodeling isn’t always a walk in the park. There are waiting periods, monies spent, multiple phone conversations. In very extreme cases of home remodeling chaos, husband will target wife, wife will target pet chihuahua and chihuahua will target carpet. Things can get pretty ugly. You may be asking yourself, “Why the hell would anybody in their right mind involve themselves in such an undertaking?” Clearly, those of us who remodel, and like to be remodeled, are not “right-minded”. But that’s okay. The result we “wrong-mindeds” get out of the deal is rewarding far beyond anything the “righties” could ever fathom. Knocking down walls, opening up new spaces, lighting up dark rooms… this is how you breathe new life into an old house. More on Remodeling…
We offer the sexiest, most glamorous Guttering in the KC Metro. That’s right, it’s just great. Our aluminum gutters are offered in either 5″ or 6″ sizes, and they are sleek and smooth and soft to the touch. (Come on, what do you expect us to say about them–they hang on your house, they keep water out of your flower gardens, and if you don’t have them, you’ll definitely be sorry!) More on Guttering…
Ah, siding. So often under-appreciated, yet so very, very important. Siding is the winter coat that keeps your house warm. It is the protective sheathing that resists lions and tigers and bears. It is the tortilla wrap that holds everything inside your burrito. A home’s siding carries many responsibilities. Not only does it have to perform well, it has to look good while doing it (sort of like us at Team Total Home). The products that we install are durable, beautiful, dimensionally stable and resist damage from extended exposure to humidity, rain, snow, salt, air, and termites- also known as the anti-siding coalition.

Our highly trained Roof Specialists will determine and evaluate all of your roofing concerns. We can offer everything from a detailed storm analysis to working with you through the insurance claims process (and we have handled more than a few of those un-cooperative insurance agents out there, don’t you worry) to installing customized high performing roof systems designed to meet your specific needs. We offer impact resistant roofing materials as well as energy saving balanced attic vent systems. And they look pretty sharp too! More on Roofing…
