Remodeling and general contracting in Clarkson Valley, Missouri

The housing in Clarkson Valley

Large 1970s and 1980s traditional homes on lots of about an acre.

A whole-home update in a Clarkson Valley 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

Large basements, often with a dated finish including a wet bar and paneling. They rebuild into excellent modern lower levels.

Homes built in Clarkson Valley 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

Formal layouts with separate living, dining and family rooms, and kitchens sized for a different era. Owners ask us to combine spaces and raise the finish level throughout.

The kitchens of Clarkson Valley'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 and wood exteriors needing trim repair and paint, original decks and patios ready for replacement with covered outdoor rooms.

Builder decks in Clarkson Valley 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 Clarkson Valley

The city reviews plans and works through St. Louis County for building permits and inspections.

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.
