Remodeling and general contracting in Ballwin, Missouri

The housing in Ballwin

1960s to 1980s ranches, split-levels and two-stories.

Houses of this age in Ballwin frequently have 100-amp electrical service, aging drain lines and original ductwork. A whole-home renovation lets us renew all of it at once while opening the floor plan.

Basements and foundations

Older finished basements here typically have paneling on furring strips, asbestos-era floor tile that needs testing before removal, and low soffits. We plan for abatement where required.

Basements under the 1950s to 1970s homes of Ballwin are usually dry and full height, and many were finished decades ago with paneling, acoustic tile and nine-inch floor tile. Those materials need testing before they are disturbed. Once cleared, the big ranch footprints give generous lower levels.

Kitchens, baths and interiors

Galley and closed U-shaped kitchens, original tiled baths on mortar beds and less electrical capacity than modern life wants. We upgrade services alongside the remodel.

Mid-century kitchens in Ballwin are compact and walled off. In a ranch the fix is often straightforward, since interior partitions carry little load, and opening the kitchen to the living area transforms the house. Electrical service usually needs upgrading to support modern appliances.

Decks, additions and exteriors

Aluminum and wood siding, original windows and aging decks. Mature trees mean leaf-clogged gutters and rot at fascia and trim.

Mid-century lots in Ballwin are wide and level with mature trees, which makes them excellent for screened porches and low decks. Shade means damp, so composite decking and rot-proof trim earn their cost here.

Permits in Ballwin

The City of Ballwin issues permits for addresses in the city.

We prepare the drawings, submit the application, meet the inspectors and close the permit. If your subdivision has an architectural committee, we put together that package as well. Our permit guide and HOA approval guide explain both processes.
