Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: We started Elevate because we realized how challenging it is for homeowners to find dependable and professional service with commitment to excellence and dedication to thoughtful and respectful customer relations. We manage all sizes of projects, but the majority of our work is in surface preparation which includes painting, drywall, texturing, flooring, tile work, and wall paper removal. We also have a resident master carpenter for framing, trim work (baseboard, crown molding, door and window trim, and cabinet customization and install) We provide design and color consultation if needed and only use the highest rated paints. We can also use any paint you provide. If you need kitchen cabinet or bathroom cabinets and vanities refinished, we can prep and spray paint your cabinets for a super smooth finish. If you need wallpaper removed, we can do that too. We remove the wall paper, scrape and clean up the paste, sand and seal the walls, repair all cracks and imperfections, skim coat, sand smooth, clean up and prime for painting. Our estimates are free and our project plan is accurate and realistic, which allows us to work around your schedule and plans, as well as minimize disruptions as much as possible. We believe in careful planning and preparation for excellent results, while protecting your house, furniture and health. We protect and cover all furniture and floors. We repair and sand all surfaces prior to painting. We caulk all gaps. We paint thoughtfully and with precision. We inspect our work twice and touch up all imperfections. It is an incredible feeling to see the look of excitement and relief on our customers faces at the end of every project.

We contacted Elevate to help us add a new addition to a new house we bought. They came up with a layout that was better than everything we thought off. Their estimate was pretty accurate and they stayed on budget and made sure they confirmed all work before the works started. They added 300 square feet to our house, installed new floors, moved some walls and changed the layout, textured interior and exterior to match. They repainted our kitchen cabinets and rearranged some of them and completely renovated the bathrooms. When we posted our house to sell, everyone asked us for their contact information. Anytime we need anything we usually contact Kawa. He has remodeled a number of investments properties since.

Kawa and his crew from Elevated Kansas City were very impressive! They were able to fit us in right away. Kawa came the same day walked the house with me and my husband, took some measurements, and gave us an estimate on the spot. He went through hours and timeline and offered to start right away. They filled all the holes and did some wall repairs on Thursday. Sanded and painted all 4 rooms on Friday and did the first walk through with me Friday afternoon, where he marked things I could have never noticed. One of his punters put some red stuff where the marks were and touched up everything Saturday morning. Kawa stoped by for a final inspection. He went over the invoice which was the same as the estimate. The house looks amazing and this happened in less than three days. Did I mention he fixed one of the bedroom doors that was not closing for free? Provided it was a very quick fix for him, but still, great service. Thank you Elevate Kansas City.

Details: Home • 3 rooms • Trim • Walls • Ceiling • 1,000 - 1,500 sq ft • 8 - 10 feet • Repainting - color change • Fair - minor holes and scratches • Yes, I will supply the paint to the professional • No, I will move the furniture or wall hangings myself

I've hired about a dozen different contractors to work on my house from thumbtack and other locations. Kawa and his crew are the best. I don't mean "really good", I mean "the best". His work was so positive and cost effective that I ended up awarding him much more scope than I planned to contract out this year. What's more important is that he made the money go further than what my competing professional quotes would have indicated (including retailers like home depot and lowes). To give you an idea of the scope, he initially was tasked with drywall repair/renovation and interior painting work. This quickly grew to replacing 18 large 3'x6' windows (including trim work and paint), replacing extensive exterior wood rot and lapboard siding, painting the exterior of the house (3 stories in back, 2 in front), refurbishing and repainting 20 doors, installing and painting ALL interior trim (baseboard, windows, doorways, etc), retexture/repaint all ceiling (including lofted ceilings), refurbishing/repainting banisters/railings, and framing and finishing a new doorway. I had budgeted all this work to be performed in the next 5-7 years for obvious financial reasons. Kawa worked with me to get all these tasks completed within my pre-set 2018 budget. I didn't think that was possible. When he was done, I kid you not, 4-6 random people off the street asked me if I was selling or renting the property because of how fantastic it looked (post reno). Kawa's crew did 80% of the work, and most of the eye catching stuff. In addition to providing exceptional value, Kawa demonstrated to me on numerous occasions that he was worthy of my trust. Bear in mind, my contractor will be in my house and there's no way to supervise him at all times. Trustworthiness and accountability is the most important attribute when I select a contractor FOLLOWED by price and quality. Kawa earned my trust be showing me he was honest... We set a target price for a certain job which he was providing building materials for. He informed me upfront that the materials cost was difficult to lock down because material costs fluctuate on the market, so I agreed to authorize him to spend up to something like 115% the target cost. At jobs end, he came in around 105% target, which I was happy to pay since I was prepared to pay out the 115% amount. Unprompted by me, he calls me two weeks later to inform me that there was an accounting issue, and he had overcharged me by $750. He had a check in hand to me within 1-2 business days that I never expected and never would have asked for. Not only did this put his final cost under the "best case" target by hundreds of dollars, but it demonstrated that he was willing to do the right thing when no one was watching. That's the kind of person I trust to work on my house and to be around my kids. My wife strongly agrees. The best proof of an excellent contractor is the one who earns your respect and continued business by the end of the job. I will be calling Kawa back out in the spring of 2019 for additional work. I am actively recommending him to my closest friends and family. I don't like writing recommendations, but Kawa definitely earned mine. I'm happy to vouch for his work.

Details: Home • 7 rooms • Trim • Walls • Doors • Ceiling • 1,500 - 2,000 sq ft • Repainting - same color • Repainting - color change • Decorative painting - texture coating • Fair - minor holes and scratches • No, I will move the furniture or wall hangings myself

Details: 1 - 10 cabinets • Wall cabinets • Paint • Excellent - very little grime • Touch ups of existing paint job
