Primary Bathroom & Suite Remodels in Des Peres, Missouri

Des Peres homes and this kind of project

Because Des Peres is made up of original ranches and the large new homes replacing them, 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: a mix of mid-century ranches and large homes built since 2000.

Mid-century primary baths are tiny, and the usual answer is taking a neighboring closet or bedroom.

What we find inside Des Peres homes

In original houses, whole-floor renovation is common. In new ones, work is personalization: built-ins, millwork and upgraded baths.

The pink, blue and green tile bathrooms of Des Peres's mid-century homes were set in mortar over wire lath, and they come out by the bucket. Underneath are cast iron and galvanized lines at the end of their service life. We replace piping, add a fan where none existed and rebuild.

What is included

For Des Peres suites we stage the work so your bedroom stays sleepable: a sealed dust wall at the bath door, negative air where we are cutting, and daily cleanup of the path through the house.

We take on primary suite remodel work in and around neighborhoods off Manchester, Ballas and Dougherty Ferry roads.

What we watch for

Those big tub decks in Des Peres 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.

Des Peres properties tend to be lots where coverage limits are a real constraint, and that affects how we stage materials, where carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, tile setters, a glass installer and cabinetmakers park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Des Peres

In Des Peres, a primary suite remodel is reviewed by the City of Des Peres. What follows is framing, plumbing, electrical and final inspections.

Interior work like this normally does not involve lot-coverage and height limits, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a primary suite remodel in Des Peres generally runs five to eight weeks.

Des Peres sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 to I-270 south, about forty minutes. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.

What moves the price in Des Peres

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

• Shower size, tile selection and amount of frameless glass.
• Custom vanity cabinetry and stone tops.
