Why homeowners call Abide

One accountable person, from the first measurement to the last piece of trim.

Licensed & insured residential general contractor. Family-run, serving homeowners on both sides of the state line.

  1. You talk to the owner

    Seth is your contact from the first walk-through to the final punch list — not a sales rep who hands you off to a crew you’ve never met.

  2. Scope before demolition

    What’s included, what isn’t, and which choices are still yours — settled before anything is torn out.

  3. Finish is the standard

    Trim, paint lines, caulk, transitions. The last few percent of a job is where a remodel looks done or doesn’t.

What we build

01 Kitchens

From new counters to a full rebuild.

Not every kitchen needs a gut remodel. We’ll tell you when new quartz and tile will do it — and when the layout is the real problem.

Refresh
Countertops, backsplash, hardware. Cabinets stay.
Full remodel
Cabinetry, layout, flooring, lighting — down to the studs.

02 Bathrooms

What’s behind the tile matters most.

A shower gets wet every day for decades. We build it in the right order, so the tile is the last thing that goes in, not the only thing protecting the wall.

  1. 1Sloped shower floor so water reaches the drain
  2. 2Continuous waterproofing at the floor and walls
  3. 3Sealed seams, corners, niches, and valve penetrations
  4. 4Tile, grout, and glass — last, not first

03 Basements

Lower levels that feel like the rest of the house.

Framing, egress, moisture, and ceiling height come first. At Sumac in Olathe, an open, unfinished basement became a suite with its own kitchen, bath, and bedroom.

Meet Seth

Twenty years on job sites, and still the one you call.

Seth Roach has spent more than two decades doing hands-on construction and remodeling. That experience shows up in the parts of a project you don’t see on a mood board: how trades are sequenced, what gets fixed before it’s covered up, and when a finish is actually finished.

Abide is a family-run company. The person who walks your space and scopes the work is the person accountable for it.

In the details

The parts that decide whether a room looks finished.

Some finished, some mid-build — because how a room is put together matters as much as how it looks on day one.

How it works

How a project runs.

No mystery between the first call and the walkthrough.
  1. 01

    First conversation

    Call or send the estimate form. Tell us which room, roughly what you have in mind, and where the house is.

  2. 02

    Walk the space

    We look at the room and the conditions behind it — framing, plumbing, moisture, what’s original — and talk through how you use it.

  3. 03

    Define the scope

    Before anything is torn out, you know what’s included, what isn’t, and which selections are still yours to make.

  4. 04

    Build in sequence

    Demolition, framing, rough-ins, surfaces, fixtures. The trades land in the right order, and you have one accountable contact.

  5. 05

    Finish and walk through

    Trim, paint lines, hardware, caulk, cleanup — then we walk the finished space together before the job is called done.

Where we work

Both sides of the state line, across the metro.

Don’t see your city? Call — if it’s nearby, we likely cover it.
