KC Property Guys and KC Pier represent two Kansas City–based businesses that operate within different segments of the residential housing process, yet remain closely aligned through shared leadership and operational philosophy. According to Eric Scheele, President of KC Property Guys and President of KC Pier, the relationship between the two companies developed organically in response to practical needs encountered during residential rehabilitation projects.
KC Property Guys, which launched in 2015, focuses on purchasing, rehabbing, and selling residential properties within the Kansas City area. Scheele explains that the business emerged from an interest in housing investment paired with hands-on renovation experience. From his perspective, the work involves more than transactional real estate activity; it requires understanding how structural conditions, timelines, and renovation sequencing influence long-term outcomes for each property.
As KC Property Guys expanded its renovation efforts, Scheele notes that structural and foundation issues became a recurring consideration. Many of the homes acquired for rehabilitation required foundational assessment before cosmetic or interior work could responsibly move forward. From his viewpoint, addressing those issues early helped reduce delays later in the renovation process and allowed projects to move forward with greater clarity.
KC Pier was established to address that specific need. The company focuses on foundation and structural services, providing assessments and repair options for residential properties. Scheele explains that KC Pier’s role often begins before visible renovation work takes place, particularly in older homes where settling or structural wear may not be immediately apparent. From his perspective, foundation work functions as a prerequisite rather than a secondary step in many rehabilitation projects.
While the two companies operate independently, Scheele explains their relationship as complementary rather than transactional. KC Property Guys’ ongoing acquisition and renovation pipeline creates consistent opportunities for structural evaluation, while KC Pier’s services help ensure that properties can move forward through rehab without extended pauses related to foundational concerns. According to Scheele, this alignment contributes to steadier project flow for both teams across seasonal fluctuations.
Scheele explains that both businesses share a similar internal philosophy centered on working for the brand rather than individual agendas. From his perspective, that mindset influences how teams approach timelines, coordination, and accountability. He notes that when crews understand their role within a broader system, projects tend to move forward with fewer interruptions and clearer expectations.
Education also plays a role in how the businesses operate, particularly on the KC Pier side. Scheele explains that foundation and structural issues are often poorly understood by homeowners, which can create uncertainty during decision-making. From his perspective, walking homeowners through the condition of a property and outlining available options helps reduce confusion and allows them to make informed choices based on their individual circumstances.
That educational approach extends to KC Property Guys’ renovation process as well. Scheele notes that understanding a property holistically, rather than focusing on surface-level improvements alone, supports better long-term outcomes. From his viewpoint, transparency around property condition helps align expectations across buyers, sellers, contractors, and internal teams.
Looking ahead, Scheele explains that both businesses operate with long-term planning in mind. While day-to-day execution remains essential, he explains that building systems capable of functioning independently of constant oversight has been a priority. From his perspective, that focus supports eventual transition planning while maintaining operational continuity.
Together, KC Property Guys and KC Pier reflect an approach to residential property work that connects rehabilitation with structural awareness. According to Scheele, aligning those functions under shared leadership has allowed each business to remain focused on its core role while contributing to a broader, coordinated process, one shaped by experience, operational discipline, and a consistent commitment to doing the work thoughtfully.
