The kitchens in Mission’s older homes were designed around a different way of living. Small footprints, closed-off layouts, dated cabinetry, and laminate countertops that have been there since the Johnson administration. Mike Salazar has been remodeling kitchens across the Kansas City area since 2007 and understands what it takes to modernize these spaces without gutting what makes the home worth living in.
MrImproveIt does not run a design-center showroom model where you meet a salesperson, pick finishes, and then hand everything off to a crew. Mike is on your job from the first consultation through the final walkthrough. Every kitchen remodel is scoped, estimated, and managed by him directly.
MrImproveIt handles every phase of the kitchen remodel in-house, from demolition through final finish, with no handoffs mid-project.
Cabinets define how a kitchen looks and how it functions. We remove existing cabinetry completely, handle any wall prep or structural adjustments the new layout requires, and install new cabinets that maximize storage and work with the dimensions of the specific kitchen. Mission’s older homes frequently have non-standard dimensions and layouts that require real problem solving during cabinet installation, not just pulling boxes off a truck and screwing them to the wall.
New countertops change how a kitchen looks and how it works every single day. We install quartz, granite, and other hard surface materials, handling the templating, cutouts for sinks and cooktops, and seaming correctly so the finished surface holds up without issues. Countertop replacement pairs cleanly with a cabinet installation or can be done independently if the existing cabinets are worth keeping.
Many kitchens in Mission’s mid-century homes are closed off from the rest of the living space by walls that made sense architecturally in the 1950s and 60s but do not reflect how families use their homes today. We remove non-load-bearing walls, open up sightlines between the kitchen and living areas, and redesign the layout so the space works the way you actually want it to. Every layout change is permitted and completed to code.
Kitchen floors take more abuse than any other surface in the home. We install luxury vinyl plank, tile, and other hard surface flooring that holds up to daily use, resists moisture, and transitions cleanly to the adjacent rooms. Flooring is coordinated with the cabinet and countertop timeline so the kitchen comes together as a finished project, not a series of separate jobs.

Contact us for a detailed, itemized estimate before any work begins.
Every kitchen project at MrImproveIt follows the same process, whether it is a countertop swap or a full gut remodel with layout changes.
01
Mike visits your kitchen, takes measurements, and asks the right questions about how you cook, how you entertain, and what is not working about the current layout. You leave the consultation with a clear picture of what the project involves and what it will cost.
02
You receive a written estimate covering demolition, cabinets, countertops, flooring, and any structural or layout work included in the project. Every line item is explained. No verbal agreements and no allowance line items that balloon when material selections are finalized.
03
Work starts on the agreed date. Mike manages the kitchen remodel personally from demolition through cabinet installation, countertop templating, flooring, and final trim. When the project is complete he walks the finished kitchen with you and confirms everything meets the scope.
Mike Salazar is a veteran who has been remodeling kitchens across the Kansas City area since 2007. He is on every job personally, which means the person who wrote your estimate is the same person managing the cabinet installation, countertop templating, and flooring from start to finish.
Kitchens in Mission’s mid-century homes have non-standard dimensions, outdated framing, and layouts that do not match modern cabinet sizing. We have worked in enough of them to anticipate those conditions and account for them in the estimate rather than presenting change orders mid-project.
Cabinet installation, countertop templating and installation, flooring, and finish work are all handled by MrImproveIt’s own crew. We do not hand your kitchen off to a third party at any point in the project. One crew, one point of accountability, start to finish.
Every kitchen remodel starts with a written, itemized estimate covering scope, materials, and timeline. If something changes once demolition starts, you hear about it and approve it before work continues. No surprises on the invoice.
