Services
Dave Schmidt and Mike Schwartz had a mutual dream of owning their own remodeling business. They decided to leave their corporate jobs behind and establish Built by Design, LLC in 2004.

Built by Design focused on residential remodeling, and Dave and Mike quickly earned a solid reputation from Olathe, Overland Park and Leawood to Kansas City, Independence and Gladstone - and everywhere in between - for quality craftsmanship, superior customer service and client satisfaction.Mike and Dave have taken construction project management to a new level based on their dedication to open, honest and on-going communication.
Award-winning remodeling services, that's what Built By Design offers. That's what you get when you enlist us to create a custom kitchen, unique bathroom, fully finished basement. We specialize in room addition projects, whole home remodels and garage additions for high-end homes in Johnson and Jackson county.
No one gets much private time today so it makes perfect sense to create a space that is relaxing and uniquely yours. So what if the bathroom happens to be the smallest room in the house? Behind every master bath or bathroom remodel is a more functional, beautiful design waiting to happen. Show us pictures.
Plain, you're not. Going for baroque or gravitating toward minimalism maybe, but ordinary? Never. Built by Design isn't an ordinary kitchen remodeling contractor either. A remodel is your chance to create the kitchen of a lifetime, and you want a contractor who won't stand in your way. This is your kitchen, your home, and your vision.
Built by Design, a full-service remodeling contractor firm, has years of award-winning basement finishing experience under our tool belts. What makes us the best choice for remodeling your basement is that we focus on communication. This open dialogue makes Built by Design different from other contractors.

We were extremely happy with Built by Design's work on our basement. They were professional from start to finish and provided a great final product. They were always responsive and worked with us when we changed our mind on some of the finishes. Their crew was top notch. The ability to map everything out and virtually see a final product really helped in the design. They also gave us a few ideas that we would have never come up with on our own. We highly recommend them and will use them again!

We could not be more happy with our new basement from Built by Design. Top notch quality and professional work. They were very detailed and organized and sent us a weekly status report each Friday with what was completed that week, and what we can expect the next week. We highly recommend them for your remodel work.

Dave and Mike did a fantastic job on our basement. We asked for a lot of extras and received those. Couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

The designing might be great, but the built by design truck drives extremely violently on the road and almost hit us. How is it possible for one to almost back into someone when they have a backup camera? Oh just ask them. #rip

From my very first phone call to contractors, Built by Design was the only one to give me some idea of what costs are to finish off my basement. At my first meeting Dave, we talked about ideas and what I was looking for and was offered suggestions that I didn't even think about. At our second meeting, Dave came in with a computer rendering of what he suggested and played out costs to do everything we were looking for. From there Kristen took over as project manager and I could not be happier with the way she handled the build. Step by step she laid out what was being done and the time frame for

We have known Dave and Mike for 12 years. They have remodeled two bathrooms, our kitchen, and added a sunroom onto our house. Very easy to work with these great guys. We highly recommend them for any project you need done. We are thinking of doing our living room next, so as you can see, we trust them completely.

We used Built By Design to finish our basement. After getting bids and plans from three different remodeling groups, it came down to Built By Design and one other remodeler. The prices were identical, but we loved working with Dave and felt he had the best vision for our project. The whole process went incredibly smooth, communication was excellent, and the contractors were all extremely professional and the work top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to use any of the contractors again in the future, the painters and tile folks did especially fabulous work. Project finished on time, and everyone we've

My basement remodel went as smooth as I could have hoped thanks to the guys at Built By Design. I thought it was one of the best decisions I ever made, and that was before everyone started complementing me about how awesome my man cave was!
