Remodeling and general contracting in Bridgeton, Missouri

The housing in Bridgeton

1950s to 1970s brick ranches and two-stories.

Houses of this age in Bridgeton 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

Solid poured or block basements, many with original finishes. Moisture evaluation and material testing come first.

Basements under the 1950s to 1970s homes of Bridgeton 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

Small original kitchens, tiled bathrooms on mortar beds, plaster or early drywall. Electrical upgrades are usually part of the scope.

Mid-century kitchens in Bridgeton 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

Brick needs little, but wood trim, windows, porches and decks do.

Mid-century lots in Bridgeton 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 Bridgeton

The City of Bridgeton issues permits and inspects.

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.
