Mission's Basement Finishing Contractor
Most Mission homes were built with an unfinished basement that has been used for storage, laundry, and nothing else for 50 years. That space is already inside the footprint of the home. Finishing it is the most cost-effective way to add livable square footage without an addition or a major structural project. Mike Salazar has been finishing basements across the Kansas City area since 2007 and understands what it takes to convert a raw concrete space into a room a family actually wants to spend time in.
MrImproveIt manages every phase of the basement finish and every trade involved in it. Framing, insulation, and drywall are handled by our own crew. Electrical is coordinated through licensed electricians Mike vets and manages personally. You have one point of contact for the entire project, one estimate that covers every scope item, and one person accountable for the timeline and the result.
Basement Finishing Services in Mission, KS
MrImproveIt handles the full scope of a basement finish from framing through final trim, coordinating every trade under one estimate and one timeline.
Framing, Insulation, and Drywall
Every basement finish starts with framing the walls, installing insulation to code, and hanging and finishing drywall. We frame around mechanical systems, work with existing structural elements, and lay out the space in a way that makes the finished rooms feel properly proportioned. Mission’s older homes frequently have basements with low ceilings, odd column placements, and mechanical runs that require real problem solving during the framing phase. We account for those conditions in the estimate rather than discovering them after work begins.
Ceiling Options for Mission Basements
We install both drop ceilings and drywall ceilings depending on the project and the homeowner’s priorities. Drop ceilings preserve access to mechanical systems, plumbing, and electrical runs above, which is a practical consideration in older Mission homes where those systems may need future service. Drywall ceilings give the finished basement a cleaner, more finished appearance and work well when ceiling height is adequate and access is less of a concern. We walk through both options during the consultation so homeowners can make an informed decision before framing begins.
Basement Flooring Installation in Mission, KS
Basement flooring requires materials that handle moisture and temperature variation better than what works on the main level. We install luxury vinyl plank, tile, and other hard surface materials suited to the below-grade environment. Flooring is coordinated with the rest of the basement finish timeline so the space comes together as a completed project, not a series of disconnected jobs.
Egress Window Installation in Mission, KS
Finishing a basement bedroom in Kansas requires an egress window that meets IRC code for size, sill height, and openable area. We handle the full egress window installation including the foundation cut, window well, and waterproofing. Egress windows are commonly required in Mission’s older homes where the existing basement openings do not meet current code requirements for a legal sleeping area. We pull the necessary permits and complete the installation to code so the finished bedroom counts as a legal habitable room.
