Design-Build Contractors & Firms Near Independence

“We recently completed a major remodel of our historic home with Stumpff Homeworks, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we began the process to the final walk-through, they exceeded every expectation. The project included expanding our kitchen and turning a bedroom into a stunning primary suite with a luxurious bathroom. Despite the challenges of working with a house over 100 years old, the team delivered seamless results that blend perfectly with the home’s original character. The quality of the craftsmanship speaks for itself. Friends and family constantly rave about the transformation. The Stumpff team matched the existing trim and details so beautifully that you’d never guess where the old ends and the new begins—it’s simply breathtaking. What else sets this company apart is Tom’s integrity and high standards. Every step of the process felt thoughtful and intentional, starting with the design and bidding phase. Thanks to his meticulous planning, there were no unexpected surprises or cost overruns—a rarity in home renovations! Throughout the project, Tom and his team frequently went above and beyond to ensure every detail aligned with my dream while staying within budget. A special shoutout goes to Jennifer and Tony. Jennifer, the design assistant, whose creativity and dedication truly brought my vision to life. Tony personally checked in regularly, ensuring that subcontractors met his exacting standards and that the house was left clean and tidy each day. Their attention to detail and passion for the project were unmatched. And the final test was hosting family for Thanksgiving and it was everything we hoped it would be…the perfect marriage between beauty and function. I cannot recommend Stumpff Homeworks enough. Their expertise, care, and commitment to excellence are second to none.”

“We initially met with Anthony & designer Kennedy to create a new primary bath, closet, bedroom (within an existing space) and to modify a basement room into a bedroom. We really enjoyed working with Kennedy during the design process—she had great options for the primary suite floor plan design and was also very helpful suggesting details like wall sconces, mirrors, and cabinet pull options that worked nicely with the design. The entire KCBR team was professional and respectful in our house. They communicated who would be back the next day and they were always very kind to our dog. There were minimal subcontractors. Things will go wrong during a remodel, many of these issues were outside of KCBR’s control but the issues did delay our project and there was some time where work wasn’t being completed due to this. There were several delays with cabinets (cabinets arrived broken multiple times, wrong cabinet doors, 2 of 3 sets of cabinet doors lost in shipping—bigger delays due to the cabinet company be closed frequently and extended periods of time during holidays). Travis worked with us during these issues and we appreciated he wanted us to be happy with the end result. We used a Chevron tile in the shower, Leo is incredibly talented and exceeded our expectations with tiling. He also fixed broken tiles & placed quartz around the shower niche after issues with the quartz installers attempting to miter the corners & slope properly. We were happy KCBR worked with us on this as we were particular with the design as a whole and did not want to pick a different material for the niche. Gabe was particular with trim work and cabinet install, we appreciated his attention to detail. Although the job took longer, it was worth it in the end. The space functions so much better and has improved our daily life.”

“Schloegel Design and Remodel has won my respect over of the years. I knew that if I I referred them to one of my client's the project would run smoothly, professionally and every detail would be addressed. The weekly meetings between clients and contractors would keep the jobs running smoothly and the clients informed and all questions addressed. They are not the least expensive in the industry, but I do believe the best! I would recommend them without hesitation. Arlene Ladegaard Design Connection Inc. Interior Designer”
