Primary Bathroom & Suite Remodels in Chesterfield, Missouri

Chesterfield homes and this kind of project

Because Chesterfield is made up of large 1970s to 1990s two-stories and newer estate homes to the west, the first thing we check for a primary suite remodel here is the floor framing under the tub deck, plumbing routes and which walls between bath, closet and bedroom can move.

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

The corner whirlpool on a tiled deck is the feature we remove most in homes of this period.

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

A Chesterfield primary bath remodel from us covers design, engineering for any joist work, permits, full demolition, plumbing and electrical rework, a ducted fan, waterproofing, tile, custom or semi-custom vanities, stone tops, frameless glass, heated floors, paint and closet systems.

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

What we watch for

Those big tub decks in Chesterfield homes often hide an access panel, an abandoned pump and sometimes a slow leak. We expect to find some subfloor damage under them and carry an allowance for it.

Working on generous, rolling lots with mature trees, as we do in Chesterfield, we plan access for carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, tile setters, a glass installer and cabinetmakers before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Chesterfield

For a primary suite remodel at a Chesterfield address, the paperwork goes to Chesterfield's planning department together with the St. Louis County permit process. Expect framing, plumbing, electrical and final inspections.

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

Most Chesterfield clients see five to eight weeks of construction for a primary suite remodel.

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 primary bathroom & suite remodels in Chesterfield from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Closet build-out and any bedroom work included.
• Moving the toilet or tub drain versus working around them.
