Bathroom Remodeling in Clarkson Valley, Missouri

Clarkson Valley homes and this kind of project

A bathroom remodel in Clarkson Valley means working in large traditional homes from the 1970s and 1980s, so on our first visit we look at the subfloor around the toilet and tub, where the fan exhausts and the age of the valve and piping.

The housing stock here: large 1970s and 1980s traditional homes on lots of about an acre.

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

What we find inside Clarkson Valley homes

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.

One-piece fiberglass tubs, cultured marble vanity tops and corner whirlpools define bathrooms in Clarkson Valley 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 Clarkson Valley 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 Clarkson Valley, from Kehrs Mill Road estates to neighborhoods around Forest Hills Country Club.

What we watch for

Under Clarkson Valley 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.

Clarkson Valley properties tend to be lots of about an acre, and that affects how we stage materials, where a plumber, an electrician, a tile setter and carpenters park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Clarkson Valley

Clarkson Valley plan review with St. Louis County permits is where we file for a bathroom remodel in Clarkson Valley, and the job will see plumbing and electrical inspections when lines or circuits change.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from city architectural expectations for a uniformly traditional community, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Clarkson Valley clients see three to four weeks of construction for a bathroom remodel.

Clarkson Valley is I-64 to Clarkson Road, about thirty-five minutes 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 Clarkson Valley

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

• Tile quantity and complexity. Large format, mosaics and patterns all add labor.
• Condition of what is under the old floor and behind the old walls.
