Bathroom Remodeling in Chesterfield, Missouri

Chesterfield homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a bathroom remodel in Chesterfield is spent on the subfloor around the toilet and tub, where the fan exhausts and the age of the valve and piping, which tells us how large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and newer estate homes to the west were put together.

The housing stock here: large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and ranches in established subdivisions, with newer estate homes to the west.

Fiberglass tubs and tile over moisture-resistant drywall are what fail in boom-era baths.

What we find inside Chesterfield homes

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.

One-piece fiberglass tubs, cultured marble vanity tops and corner whirlpools define bathrooms in Chesterfield homes of this period. Tile was often set over moisture-resistant drywall, which has since failed. Everything wet gets rebuilt from the studs.

What is included

For Chesterfield bathrooms our standard gut scope includes demolition, subfloor and framing repair, new shower valve and supply stops, updated drain connections, a ducted quiet fan, GFCI circuits, membrane waterproofing, tile, vanity and top, toilet, glass, paint and accessories.

We take on bathroom remodel work across Chesterfield, from neighborhoods off Clarkson, Baxter and Olive to Chesterfield Valley commercial district and the Wild Horse Creek Road corridor.

What we watch for

Under Chesterfield toilets and along tub edges we often find subfloor that has been damp for years. We budget a subfloor allowance in every bath proposal so that repair is a line you expected.

Site logistics matter: Chesterfield has generous, rolling lots with mature trees, so we agree with you where a plumber, an electrician, a tile setter and carpenters will park, store material and carry out debris.

Permits and approvals in Chesterfield

Chesterfield's planning department together with the St. Louis County permit process is where we file for a bathroom remodel in Chesterfield, and the job will see plumbing and electrical inspections when lines or circuits change.

Interior work like this normally does not involve subdivision trustees, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a bathroom remodel in Chesterfield generally runs three to four weeks.

Chesterfield is down I-64 and over the Daniel Boone Bridge, just under half an hour from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

What moves the price in Chesterfield

We price bathroom remodeling in Chesterfield from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Condition of what is under the old floor and behind the old walls.
• Whether plumbing fixtures stay in place.
