MrImproveIt Remodeling LLC provides bathroom remodeling, kitchen renovations, basement finishing, concrete work, and siding installation for homeowners in Lenexa, KS. Every project is managed personally by owner Mike Salazar, a United States Marine Corps veteran and Kansas contractor based in Mission, KS with over 26 years in the trades and a consistent crew on every job.
Lenexa homeowners have no shortage of remodeling contractors competing for their business. What most of them offer is a salesperson at the front end and a crew you have never met doing the actual work. MrImproveIt works differently. Mike Salazar is a Marine Corps veteran contractor based in Mission, KS who has been remodeling homes across Johnson County since 2007. He is on every job personally with a consistent crew, which means the person who wrote your estimate is the same person managing your bathroom, kitchen, or basement from start to finish.
MrImproveIt is not a design-build firm with a showroom and a project manager between you and the work. Mike visits your home, writes the estimate, and manages the job personally from the first day through the final walkthrough. The business is licensed in Kansas and carries workman’s comp and liability insurance on every project. Most of the business comes from referrals from Lenexa homeowners who called once and kept coming back.
MrImproveIt provides five core remodeling services for Lenexa homeowners, all managed personally by Mike Salazar with no subcontractors on the core scope of work.
Full gut remodels, tub-to-shower conversions, custom tile showers, vanity replacements, and complete bathroom overhauls. We handle demolition, tile, fixtures, and finish work with our own crew and Mike on site managing every trade personally.
Cabinet installation, countertop replacement, layout redesigns, flooring, and full kitchen gut remodels. Mike installs cabinets and countertops himself and manages every phase from demolition through final trim. One estimate, one crew, every phase managed personally.
Framing, insulation, drywall, ceilings, flooring, trim, and egress windows. We convert unfinished Lenexa basements into livable square footage with every trade coordinated and managed by Mike personally under one written estimate and one timeline.
Driveway installation and replacement, standard and stamped concrete patios, sidewalk installation, and concrete repair. Mike pours and finishes concrete himself with his own crew. Most remodeling contractors refer concrete out. We handle it in-house.
Vinyl and composite siding installation, siding repair, and full siding replacement including removal and disposal of existing material. We inspect the sheathing underneath before new material goes on and install siding that is properly sealed at every seam and penetration.
Lenexa is one of the most diverse housing markets in Johnson County, and K-10 highway is the informal dividing line that tells the story. North of K-10, including Old Town Lenexa near Santa Fe Trail Drive and the Turkey Creek corridor, the housing stock is primarily from the 1960s through the 1980s. These homes have original kitchens with dated layouts, bathrooms that have not been touched since they were built, and unfinished basements sitting on clay-heavy soil that has been expanding and contracting for five or six decades. Mike Salazar has been remodeling homes in neighborhoods like these across Johnson County since 2007 and knows what they need before the first wall comes down.
South of K-10 the story changes. Lenexa’s southern neighborhoods and newer subdivisions near Kill Creek and the city’s western edge were developed primarily in the 1990s and 2000s. Those homes have larger footprints and more open layouts but builder-grade finishes from 25 to 30 years ago that are well past their useful life. Cultured marble, laminate countertops, and stock cabinetry from the late 1990s are ready for a proper renovation. Lenexa City Center near 87th Street represents some of the newest construction in the market, with modern layouts that have different remodeling needs entirely. MrImproveIt works across all of Lenexa and adjusts the scope and approach based on the specific home rather than applying one template to every job.
Lenexa homeowners are investing in a market where average home values sit near $427,000 and appreciation has tracked above average for the last decade. A remodeling project done correctly in Lenexa needs to hold up and reflect the value of the home it goes into. MrImproveIt Remodeling prices honestly, uses quality materials, and builds projects that perform for the long term. Every project is managed personally by owner Mike Salazar, a United States Marine Corps veteran with a written estimate, a consistent crew, workman’s comp and liability insurance, and no subcontractors on the core scope of work.
Mike Salazar is a United States Marine Corps veteran and Kansas native with 26 years in the trades. He manages every project personally which means the person who wrote your estimate is the same person on the job site and accountable for the result.
Bathroom, kitchen, basement, concrete, and siding. Most Lenexa contractors handle two or three of those. MrImproveIt handles all five under one roof with one estimate, one crew, and one point of contact for the full scope of work.
Bathroom tile, cabinet installation, countertop work, concrete pours, and siding installation are all handled by MrImproveIt’s own crew. Electrical and plumbing are coordinated through licensed tradespeople managed personally by Mike. You are never handed off to a company you have not met.
Every project starts with a written, itemized estimate that covers scope, cost, and timeline. If something changes once work is underway, you hear about it and approve it before work continues. No surprises on the invoice.
Every project in Lenexa follows the same three-step process regardless of service type or scope.

02
