A finished basement from the 1980s or 90s is dated by definition. Dropped ceilings with fluorescent lights, wood-paneled walls, carpet that has seen better decades, and a layout that made sense when the home was built but does not reflect how families use the space today. Mike Salazar has been remodeling basements across the Kansas City area since 2007 and knows how to take an existing finished space and make it work correctly for the people living in it now.
MrImproveIt manages the full scope of a basement remodel and every trade it involves. Framing, drywall, flooring, and finish work are handled by our own crew. Plumbing for basement bathrooms and wet bars is coordinated through licensed plumbers Mike vets and manages personally. Electrical is coordinated through licensed electricians under the same arrangement. You have one point of contact, one written estimate covering every trade, and one person accountable for the finished result.
MrImproveIt handles the full scope of a basement remodel, coordinating every trade under one estimate and one timeline.
Reconfiguring an existing finished basement means removing walls, rerouting mechanical systems, and rebuilding the space in a layout that actually works. We handle full gut renovations of finished basements, partial reconfigurations, and targeted updates to specific rooms within the existing footprint. Every layout change is permitted and completed to local building code regardless of scope.
A wet bar is one of the most requested additions in a basement remodel and one of the more complex ones to execute correctly. It involves cabinetry, countertops, plumbing rough-in, electrical for refrigeration and lighting, and finish work that ties into the rest of the basement. We coordinate the plumbing and electrical through licensed tradespeople and handle the cabinetry, countertops, and finish work ourselves. The result is a wet bar that is built to last and integrated cleanly into the overall basement design.
Adding a bathroom to a finished basement requires plumbing rough-in, framing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures, and electrical, all coordinated in the right sequence and permitted correctly. We manage the full scope of a basement bathroom addition, coordinating licensed plumbers and electricians and handling the framing, tile, vanity, and finish work with our own crew. A basement bathroom significantly increases the usability of the space and adds measurable value to the home.
Converting a basement room into a dedicated home theater or media room involves acoustic considerations, specialized lighting, electrical for equipment, and finish details that make the space function the way it is supposed to. We handle the framing, drywall, flooring, and finish work and coordinate the electrical through licensed electricians. The result is a media room that is properly built out rather than a room with a television and some furniture in it.
Not every basement remodel is a full gut. Replacing dated carpet with luxury vinyl plank, updating ceiling tiles, repainting walls, and replacing trim and doors can transform how an existing finished basement looks and feels without tearing everything out. We handle targeted finish updates cleanly and coordinate them with any electrical or other trade work required so the project runs as one job, not several.

Every basement remodeling project at MrImproveIt follows the same process, whether it is a targeted finish update or a full gut renovation with a bathroom and wet bar.
01
Mike visits your basement, walks the existing space with you, and asks the right questions about what is not working and how you want the finished space to function. You leave the consultation with a clear picture of what the project involves, which trades are required, and what the full scope will cost.
02
You receive a written estimate covering every phase of the project and every trade involved, including any plumbing or electrical coordination. Every line item is explained. No verbal agreements, no allowances that balloon when selections are finalized.
03
Work starts on the agreed date. Mike coordinates the framing crew, licensed plumbers, and licensed electricians personally, keeping the project on schedule and on scope throughout. When the basement is complete he walks the finished space with you to confirm everything meets the estimate before the job is closed.
Mike Salazar is a veteran who has been remodeling basements across the Kansas City area since 2007. He manages every phase of the project personally, coordinating every trade and holding the timeline and scope accountable from the first day of work through the final walkthrough.
Dated finished basements in Mission’s older homes present specific challenges during renovation, including older mechanical systems, non-standard framing, and layouts that require real problem solving to reconfigure correctly. We account for those conditions in the estimate before work begins rather than presenting change orders after demolition starts.
Framing, drywall, flooring, finish work, plumbing, and electrical are all covered in a single written estimate. Mike coordinates every trade under one timeline. You are not managing a separate plumber, electrician, and contractor for the same project.
Every basement remodeling project starts with a detailed written estimate covering every phase of the work and every trade involved. If something unexpected comes up once walls are opened, you hear about it and approve any changes before work continues.
