Kitchen Remodeling
Kitchen Remodeling in Mission, KS
Open kitchens built for gathering, sequenced to reconcile Mission’s solidly built older homes with how families live today.
Our Approach to Kitchen Remodeling
A kitchen remodel in Mission, KS almost always means working inside a solidly built older home near Broadmoor Park or downtown Mission — one of the smallest and most centrally located cities in Johnson County, where the bones are good but the interior layout hasn’t kept pace with how people actually cook and gather. Hickok Homes scopes every Mission kitchen project against the home’s existing structure and systems from the first conversation, since that’s where nearly all of our work in this market lives.
Homeowners researching a kitchen remodel near me in Mission are often comparing general contractors against a design-build team that works in both this four-season market and our Scottsdale-area projects. That dual-market experience means we specify cabinetry, flooring, and finishes that hold up to Missouri-and-Kansas-style humidity swings and winter heating cycles, not just whatever looks good in a showroom photo taken somewhere drier, and we bring that lens into the very first design conversation rather than applying a generic playbook to every kitchen we touch.
Because Mission’s housing stock is overwhelmingly older and well-built, we start with a careful assessment of what’s structural and what can move before finalizing a design. Homes closer to Broadmoor Park and the downtown core often carry original electrical and plumbing systems that need to be brought up to current code as part of the scope, even when the surrounding structure itself is in excellent shape.
Design & Materials
Mission kitchens benefit from durable, low-maintenance surfaces that can handle a genuine four-season climate — engineered stone or quartz countertops, moisture-resistant cabinet boxes, and flooring rated for both summer humidity and dry winter heat. Open-concept layouts with larger islands remain the most requested change, often paired with upgraded lighting and a dedicated beverage or coffee station to match how families actually use the space day to day. Because many Mission lots are smaller and closer to neighboring properties than in outer suburbs, an island or layout change that pushes toward an exterior wall gets evaluated against setbacks early, so the design doesn’t run into a surprise once construction starts.
Permitting in Mission & Johnson County
Most kitchen remodels that touch electrical, plumbing, or gas lines require a permit through the City of Mission’s building department, and we handle that submission and inspection scheduling as part of the project rather than leaving it for the homeowner to navigate. Some established Mission neighborhoods carry HOA covenants and some do not; we confirm which apply to your specific property before finalizing plans, so any required review is built into the schedule rather than discovered partway through construction.
Process & Timeline
A fully custom kitchen remodel typically runs 10 to 16 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough, depending on scope and cabinetry lead times. We sequence demolition, rough-in, and finish work so the rest of the home stays as livable as possible throughout the project, and we keep you updated at every stage rather than leaving you to guess at progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
Most fully custom kitchen remodels take 10 to 16 weeks from demolition to final walkthrough.
Is most of your Mission work kitchen remodels on older homes?
Yes. Mission’s housing stock is overwhelmingly older and structurally sound, so a kitchen remodel here usually means updating layout, systems, and finishes inside a home that’s otherwise well-built.
Will my remodel need a permit?
Most interior kitchen remodels require a permit for electrical and plumbing work through the City of Mission; we handle that process for you.
What’s the typical cost of a kitchen remodel in Mission?
Cost depends heavily on scope, cabinetry, and material selections, so we don’t quote a flat number without reviewing your project. We provide a transparent, line-item budget before any contract is signed.
Can Hickok Homes work with my own architect or designer?
Yes. We coordinate construction documents and permitting around a design already underway, in addition to offering full design-build service.
Can I stay in my home during a kitchen remodel?
Many clients do stay in their home during a kitchen remodel, though it depends on the scope and whether other areas of the home are affected. We’ll walk through what to expect for your specific project before work begins.
Do you handle structural changes like removing walls for an open kitchen?
Yes, opening a kitchen to adjacent living space often involves removing or relocating a load-bearing wall, and we manage the structural engineering that requires. We assess your home’s structure as part of initial planning.
Do Mission’s smaller lots affect a kitchen addition or bump-out?
They can. Because many Mission lots sit closer to the street and to neighboring properties than in outer suburbs, we confirm setback requirements before finalizing any design that extends toward an exterior wall.
Do you offer a warranty on kitchen remodeling work?
Yes, our remodeling work is backed by a workmanship warranty in addition to manufacturer warranties on cabinetry, countertops, and appliances installed. We review the specific terms with you before work begins.
Does an HOA in my Mission neighborhood affect my kitchen remodel?
Some established Mission neighborhoods carry HOA covenants and some do not; we confirm what applies to your specific property before finalizing the design. Most interior-only remodels aren’t affected either way.
