Renovating KC Design + Remodel is a family-owned Kansas City remodeling company founded in 2020 by brothers Steven and Ben Ross, both Kansas City natives with a passion for improving the way homeowners experience home renovations. What started with a simple belief that residential construction could be done with greater transparency, communication, and accountability has quickly evolved into one of the region’s fastest-growing home remodeling companies.
Since launching with just $300 and a vision for a more client-focused remodeling experience, Renovating KC has grown into a full-service design-build firm specializing in Kansas City kitchen remodels, bathroom renovations, basement finishes, home additions, and whole-home remodeling projects throughout the KC metro.
Today, the company is recognized as an award-winning KC remodeling contractor, earning multiple REMY Awards and recognition on the Inc. 5000 list as the 139th fastest-growing privately held company. While they have experienced rapid growth, the mission remains the same: delivering cutting-edge designs and high-quality home renovations rooted in clear communication, detailed project management, and a family-first approach.
Together, they bring over 30 years of combined experience in remodeling, construction, real estate, and home inspections. As the company continues to evolve, it remains committed to combining thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and technology-driven systems to create a better remodeling experience.
“We have built a remodeling process designed to remove the stress and uncertainty that many homeowners associate with renovations,” they noted. “Our process is highly structured, transparent, and collaborative from the very beginning.”
Every project begins with an in-depth consultation where they take the time to understand the client’s goals, lifestyle, budget, and long-term vision for their home. From there, their in-house design team develops floor plans, material selections, and realistic 3D renderings, allowing clients to fully visualize their Kansas City home renovation before construction even begins.
Once design plans are finalized, their project management and construction teams work closely together to create detailed timelines, procurement schedules, and communication plans. Each project has a dedicated designer and project manager, ensuring homeowners always have a clear point of contact throughout.
“What truly sets us apart from many remodeling companies is our design-build structure. Instead of homeowners managing multiple vendors, architects, and contractors separately, everything is handled under one roof,” they added. “This creates a smoother process from start to finish.”
Renovating KC is a full-service Kansas City design-build remodeling company, meaning they handle every phase of the renovation process internally from concept and design to construction and final installation.
“Whether it is a kitchen remodel in Leawood, a whole-home renovation in Brookside, a basement remodel in Overland Park, or a bathroom renovation in Prairie Village, our goal is to create a streamlined and enjoyable remodeling experience,” they continued.
They understand that many homeowners are choosing to renovate rather than move due to mortgage rates and limited housing inventory. As a result, they are helping families reimagine their existing homes through strategic home renovations that improve functionality, increase usable space, and better fit their evolving lifestyles.
“One of the biggest things that sets us apart is our emphasis on communication, accountability, and client experience. We understand that remodeling is deeply personal, and we have intentionally built systems and processes designed to make homeowners feel informed and supported throughout the journey,” they noted.
