Kitchen Remodeling in Overland Park, KS
A kitchen remodel is more than new cabinets and countertops. It’s making the room finally work the way your family actually lives. We design and build every kitchen ourselves, as one team, from the first sketch through the final walkthrough.
Timberhaus Studio is a Kansas City design-build studio, and Overland Park is part of our regular service area. Overland Park’s population has more than doubled since the 1970s, and the typical home here was built around 1988. A lot of kitchens are still running on original cabinetry and layouts from that era, built for a very different way of cooking and entertaining than most families want today. We take on kitchens ranging from a cosmetic update to a full layout reconfiguration: installing custom cabinetry, updating countertops and appliances, or reworking the whole footprint. The same team designing your kitchen is the team building it.

Three Ways We Scope a Kitchen
- Refresh. Same layout, new finishes: cabinet fronts, countertops, backsplash, hardware, lighting. The fastest path to a kitchen that looks and feels new.
- Full Remodel. New cabinetry, countertops, and fixtures throughout, still within your kitchen’s existing footprint. Everything changes except where the walls are.
- Reconfigured. Walls move. This is for kitchens where the layout itself is the problem, not the finishes.
Permits in Overland Park
Overland Park runs building permits through its online ePLACE system, with an initial completeness review in about 3 business days and a full plan review that typically takes 15 to 21 business days. Any kitchen remodel that adds square footage or changes structure needs a permit. We build that timeline into your project schedule from the start, so it’s never a surprise.
Common Questions
Do you work on kitchens in Overland Park?
Yes. Overland Park is part of our regular service area. The city spans a wide range of housing ages, from established mid-century neighborhoods in the north to newer construction further south, and the kitchen layouts that come with them are just as varied. We scope each one on its own terms.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Overland Park?
If the project adds square footage or changes the structure, yes. Overland Park requires a residential building permit through its ePLACE system, with review typically taking 15–21 business days. We pull and manage that permit as part of the project.
Can we live in the house while you work?
Usually yes. Your kitchen will be out of commission for the duration, so we plan the temporary setup during Design, before demo starts. Where the fridge goes, how you’ll manage meals. It’s a real disruption and we’d rather plan for it honestly than pretend it isn’t one.
How much should I budget for a kitchen remodel?
Scope drives it more than square footage does. A Refresh, a Full Remodel, and a Reconfigured layout are three very different numbers for the same room. Our Investment page walks through what actually moves the cost, and we give you a real figure during Design, before construction starts.
Who will actually be in my home?
James stays hands-on through every phase of the build, along with trade partners we’ve worked with for years. You’re not handed off to a rotating crew you’ve never met, and you’re not left guessing who’s in your house.
