We are a design/build interior remodeler.

What does that mean? Good question- that means we take visions of a new bathroom, kitchen or basement and turn them into realities.

Total Home KC History

Every good story has a beginning- ours starts in the summer of 1998 with a single bread truck, N’ Sync on the radio and a new piercing I’d rather not discuss. I had a passion, and by golly I was going to follow it, thus Total Home was born. My family had been in the gutter and window replacement business for years, so you could say it was part of my destiny, if you want to get emotional about it; but when I flipped my first house that summer- I was hooked. I dove in head first, learned from my mistakes, and became a sponge for all things construction and architecture.

Founded in 2007, Total Home KC began its journey by researching window companies that not only promised exceptional quality but also enhanced the architectural aesthetics of homes. Marvin emerged as the standout choice, prompting Total Home KC to undertake the rigorous process of becoming the only Marvin certified installer in Kansas City at the time. As the business grew and referrals increased, the company expanded its team in 2010 to manage the Marvin-related operations, allowing for a focused expansion into interior remodels. Since then, Total Home KC has doubled in size, with its growth driven almost entirely by past clients, repeat business, and referrals—a truly humbling experience. In that time, Total Home Remodeling has added a full-time Design Consultant to its team and has won numerous awards, including a Regional REMY, National CotY, and a spot in the top 50 Remodelers of 2015 by Remodeling Magazine. Total Home KC is immensely proud of these achievements.

The ending to this story isn’t “and they lived happily ever after”… It’s our hopes that our clients do.

Do you charge for estimates?

Our initial consultations are free, however, compiling a bid takes hours of work; so we do require a retainer that will be deducted from your total at the end of your project

Do you offer design services?

Yes! Design service is a big part of what we do. In fact it’s part of our bid process. In order to bid your job correctly a designer will need to measure, talk to you about your vision, draw up floor plans, and make preliminary selections.

How does all of this work? What's the process?

A consultation is done to discuss the project scope, budget and get an overall feel to see if we would be the right company for your needs. If we both agree a design agreement is signed during the consultation and a design retainer is collected. Shortly after our designer will come out, measure your space, talk to you about the vision you have, and take detailed notes about your likes and dislikes. Floor plans and selections will be made based on your discussions and budget then presented to you at your home. From there revisions can or will be made, a detailed bid will be drawn up and a final design and bid will be presented here at our office.
