Because designers and the construction team work together, clients receive guidance and professional insight while staying within the parameters of design style and budget. KC Home Solutions also handles building permits, orders materials and provides regular updates through its staff project manager.

The company is also an option for homeowners considering an addition or building a fully custom home.

“With a custom home, the options are endless — you are not buying a package. That can be overwhelming unless you have someone to guide you,” Shepard said.

Shepard began his career as a rough-in carpenter and later worked for a large builder, where he learned how trades interact to complete a finished product and the importance of customer service.

“Having the designers, estimator and contractor on the same team and under one roof simplifies the remodeling and building process,” he said. “We work to seamlessly integrate all project details in order to create the home you’ve always wanted in less time, for less money and with fewer surprises, ensuring you end up with the remodel of your dreams.”
