Our History

Founded in 2007, CdE Contracting, LLC has grown from a small remodeling operation into a trusted leader in residential renovations across the Kansas City metro. Our roots reach back to 1985, beginning with lighting design for new construction and expanding into custom home construction, and ultimately the remodeling expertise we’re known for today. Over four decades, we’ve built a reputation for excellence, reliability, and client-focused craftsmanship—delivering projects with precision, transparency, and a commitment to quality that stands the test of time.

At CdE Contracting, we believe that every home deserves to be crafted with precision, integrity, and care. Our core values guide everything we do:

  • Craftsmanship

    Delivering quality work that lasts.

  • Transparency

    Keeping clients informed and involved every step of the way.

  • Integrity

    Honoring commitments and building trust.

  • Collaboration

    Working closely with clients and subcontractors to achieve the best results.

  • Innovation

    Embracing new techniques and materials to enhance our work.

Our Ethos

CdE stands for Calibre d’Excellence—a standard we hold ourselves to in every detail. Our ethos is grounded in three commitments:

  • Craftsmanship without compromise

    Quality is never an add on; it’s the foundation of everything we build.

  • Transparency at every step

    Clear communication, honest pricing, and predictable processes create trust and reduce stress.

  • Client-first decision-making

    We treat every home as if it were our own, ensuring the final result reflects the homeowner’s vision and long-term needs.

Our Values

These values shape our work and the relationships we build with clients, subcontractors, and partners:

  • Integrity

    We do what we say, follow through, and stand behind our work.

  • Precision

    Details matter. From framing to finishes, accuracy is non-negotiable.

  • Respect

    Homes are personal spaces. We protect them, communicate clearly, and minimize disruption.

  • Accountability

    We own the process, the schedule, and the outcome.

  • Continuous Improvement

    Decades of experience inform our work, but we never stop refining our methods and standards.

What We Bring to Every Project

A remodeling project is more than construction—it’s a full-service experience. We manage the entire lifecycle:

Consultation & Scoping

Understanding goals, constraints, and the existing structure.

Design Collaboration

Working with designers and engineers when needed.

Detailed Estimating & Bids

Transparent pricing, allowances, and options.

Project Management

Scheduling, subcontractor coordination, inspections, and quality control.

Communication

Regular updates, clear expectations, and documented changes.

Administration

Invoicing, progress billing, permits, and compliance.

Featured Projects

At CdE Contracting, every featured project is a testament to craftsmanship without compromise. From the sweeping whole-home renovation in Mission Hills that redefined luxury living, to the stunning kitchen transformations in North Kansas City and Overland Park, and the thoughtful aging-in-place upgrade in Leawood, each home tells a story of precision, transparency, and care. Guided by four decades of expertise and a client-first ethos, these transformations don’t just improve spaces; they elevate how families live, with integrity and excellence built into every detail.
