Most basements in Kansas City are going to be made of concrete, unless a wood subfloor has been constructed. Here is an overview of the different options you have when finishing off a basement.
As long as you are sure you don't have any moisture problems, carpet is a good choice. This is the most popular in the johnson county area. Even if you don't have any moisture issues it is a good idea to take a few steps to help fight moisture. Installing a rubber mat instead of foam, is a good idea when finishing your basement floor. You can also coat the concrete with urethane concrete sealer or concrete paint.
If moisture is a concern, Tile may be a better option. The only drawback to tile in a basement is a cold floor for the winter. Tile in a basement makes a great runner leading into the family room. If you are installing tile in another area at the same time, it is usually an inexpensive way to upgrade your basement.
