Home Remodeling
Home Remodeling in Mission, KS
Whole-home renovations that update structure, systems, and finishes in Mission’s solidly built older homes, while keeping your family in the home.
Our Approach to Whole-Home Remodeling
A whole-home remodel in Mission, KS typically means updating a solidly built older house’s layout, systems, and finishes from front to back rather than tackling one room at a time — reworking a closed-off floor plan, replacing aging electrical and plumbing, and bringing insulation and mechanical systems up to a standard the original builder never designed for. Hickok Homes scopes every Mission home remodel against the home’s actual structure and systems, not a generic renovation checklist, because almost all of our work in this market is renovation, not new construction.
Homeowners searching for home remodeling near me in Mission are often comparing single-trade contractors against a design-build team that manages architecture, structure, mechanical systems, and finishes under one accountable scope and budget. That matters most on a whole-home project, where a plumbing change in one room can affect framing in another, and a single general contractor accountable for the whole sequence avoids the finger-pointing that happens when several separate trades are left to coordinate themselves.
Mission is one of the smallest and most centrally located cities in Johnson County, and its established, walkable neighborhoods near Broadmoor Park and downtown Mission are built on homes that are overwhelmingly older and structurally sound. That’s actually good news for a whole-home remodel: the structural remediation we sometimes see in markets with more varied construction eras is less common here, and our renovation work tends to focus on reconciling dated systems and layouts with a homeowner’s current vision rather than fixing a compromised foundation or framing.
Phasing a Whole-Home Remodel
Most of our whole-home remodel clients want to stay in the house during construction, and we sequence the work — room by room, or wing by wing — to make that realistic. A kitchen might be fully demolished while the rest of the home stays livable, followed by bathrooms, then bedrooms and shared living space, with mechanical and electrical upgrades threaded through each phase rather than requiring the whole house to be torn open at once.
Permitting & Setbacks in Mission
A whole-home remodel that touches structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems moves through the City of Mission’s building permit process, with standard Johnson County inspections along the way; we handle that submission and inspection scheduling directly rather than leaving it for you to navigate. If your remodel adds any square footage or changes the home’s exterior footprint, we also confirm setback requirements early, since many Mission lots sit closer to the street and to neighboring properties than in outer Johnson County suburbs. Some established Mission neighborhoods carry HOA covenants and some do not, and we confirm what applies to your specific property before finalizing plans.
Updating Systems in Older Homes
Our area’s genuine four-season climate puts real demands on a home’s systems and envelope: foundations need to account for Kansas frost depth, and mechanical equipment needs to be sized for a swing from humid summer heat to winter cold. Older homes near Broadmoor Park and the downtown core often need electrical service upgraded from an undersized original panel, plumbing supply and drain lines replaced, and insulation and air sealing brought up to a standard that didn’t exist when the home was built. We treat those system updates as part of the remodel’s core scope rather than an afterthought.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the typical cost of a whole-home remodel in Mission?
Cost varies enormously with square footage, scope, and finish level, so we don’t quote a flat number without reviewing your home. We provide a detailed, line-item budget once we’ve assessed your home’s structure and systems.
Is most renovation work in Mission this kind of whole-home project?
A significant share of it is. Mission’s housing stock is overwhelmingly older and structurally sound, so homeowners here often update the whole interior at once rather than one room in isolation.
Does a whole-home remodel require a permit in Mission?
Yes, work touching structural, electrical, plumbing, or mechanical systems requires a permit through the City of Mission’s building department, and we handle that submission and inspection process for you.
Can I stay in my home during a whole-home remodel?
Most of our whole-home remodel clients do stay in the home, and we phase construction room by room or wing by wing to keep as much of the house livable as possible throughout.
How do you phase a whole-home remodel?
We typically sequence one area at a time, such as the kitchen first, then bathrooms, then shared living space, threading mechanical and electrical upgrades through each phase rather than opening the whole house at once.
Will you need to update electrical and plumbing systems in an older home?
Often, yes. Homes near Broadmoor Park and the downtown core in particular frequently need an outdated electrical panel or old supply and drain lines replaced as part of a whole-home remodel, and we treat that system work as core scope, not an afterthought.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect?
Yes. We coordinate construction documents and permitting around a design already underway, in addition to offering full design-build service for homeowners who want one team managing the whole process.
Do you offer a warranty on remodeling work?
Yes, our remodeling work is backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on systems and materials installed. We review the specific terms with you before construction begins.
How long does a whole-home remodel take?
Timelines vary widely with scope, but most whole-home remodels in Mission run several months to a year from demolition to final walkthrough. We provide a project-specific schedule once scope is finalized.
Does my HOA need to approve a whole-home remodel?
Some established Mission neighborhoods carry HOA covenants and some do not; we confirm what applies to your specific property before finalizing the design. Purely interior remodels usually aren’t affected either way.
