Remodeling and general contracting in Chesterfield, Missouri

The housing in Chesterfield

Large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and ranches in established subdivisions, with newer estate homes to the west.

A whole-home update in a Chesterfield house from this period is mostly about finishes and layout, since wiring and plumbing are modern. That keeps cost per square foot lower than in older homes, and the result feels like new construction.

Basements and foundations

Many Chesterfield basements were finished in the 1980s and are now on their second life. We strip them, fix insulation and wiring and rebuild to current taste. Walkouts are common on the rolling terrain.

Homes built in Chesterfield between the late 1970s and the 2000s nearly all have full poured basements, and a large share were finished once already by an owner or handyman, often without permits. We open a few walls before quoting, because what is behind them decides whether this is a refresh or a rebuild.

Kitchens, baths and interiors

These houses have good size and dated layouts: a closed kitchen, a sunken family room, a wet bar in a closet. Leveling floors, opening walls and re-planning the kitchen are routine.

The kitchens of Chesterfield's building-boom years follow a formula: oak cabinets, a soffit, a peninsula or small island, and a desk by the phone jack. The plumbing and structure are usually fine, so budget goes into layout improvement, cabinetry and surfaces.

Decks, additions and exteriors

Brick fronts with wood or early hardboard siding elsewhere often need siding replacement. Mature lots favor screened porches and composite decks. Subdivision trustees review exterior changes.

Builder decks in Chesterfield from these decades were minimal and are now at or past the end of their safe life. Replacement is a chance to correct ledger flashing, deepen footings and build something sized for how families use outdoor space today.

Permits in Chesterfield

Chesterfield addresses go through the city's planning department for zoning and, for building permits, through the St. Louis County process the city uses. We handle both steps.

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.
