Your Home is the best place to put your money in tough economic times
Before you go shopping for the cheapest remodel you can find please consider what your decision means.
- Will you be happy with your decision to save a few dollars when your contractor has gone?
- Does your contractor provide a full one year warranty on his work?
- Does your contractor build his own custom cabinets or does he buy them from a big box store (restricting your choices and challenging your schedule)?
- Does your contractor provide customer references you can go see and ask questions of or does he show you a book of pictures?
- Does your contractor belong to the reputable NARI the National Association of the Remodeling Industry or was he paid by referral from a website?
Prepare for the Emotional Rollercoaster. The
thrill of getting something new quickly wears off when the daily
interruption of your daily routine causes tension
Remember that your home will soon become a worksite. We will work hard to respect your privacy and help minimize any inconvenience. Nonetheless, the train-station atmosphere may lead to remodeling fever. You may feel a loss of control because of disrupted routines and the impact on your personal space. The best approach is to...
a. prepare for inconvenience, and prepare well. Be sure to set aside a room in your home where you can escape from the chaos and commotion.
b. maintain a sense of humor. You may need it when the weather refuses to cooperate or a vendor postpones the delivery date for materials; and
c. enjoy the remodeling process. Tell the children you are "camping-in" and turn inconvenience into fun. Along the way, celebrate at completion of phases of the project, for example when drywall is finished order in your favorite take-out meal. With patience, consistent communication, and careful preparation, the process will go smoothly and you can enjoy the results for years. There is a light at the end of this tunnel.
Our residential business includes all phases of residential construction remodeling. The majority of our projects include traditional, kitchens, baths, basements. It is becoming increasingly popular to renovate the entire home or do a "whole house remodel". This typically involves relocating some walls and opening up spaces to reallocate livable space to meet today's busy lifestyles. Because this may require some structural changes to the building it is important you hire professionals to evaluate the feasibility of completing the project without possible structural failure. It's your home, you deserve the best. Hire House and Renner for your next remodel.

The majority of our residential work is in and around the Kansas City Metro primarily from Grain Valley on the East to Olathe on the West (although we do travel outside that area occasionally). It includes all aspects of tradition construction from framing, drywall, plumbing, electrical, HVAC to the finer details of painting, wallpaper, carpeting, trim and custom cabinets. We have experience in all phases of construction and while we do use subcontractors for some specialized trades, they are hand selected to meet our high standards and expectations. Everyone that works for House and Renner Construction carries Workman's Comp and Liability Insurance which protects you from risk of lawsuit if someone gets injured. Our residential construction projects range from the low $1,000's to full additions and whole house remodels in excess of $500,000. There just isn't a "typical" remodel. We're experts in custom solutions because every customer has his/her own idea of what he/she wants to improve.
