Remodeling and general contracting in Ellisville, Missouri

The housing in Ellisville

1960s to 1980s ranches and two-stories with some newer construction.

Houses of this age in Ellisville frequently have 100-amp electrical service, aging drain lines and original ductwork. A whole-home renovation lets us renew all of it at once while opening the floor plan.

Basements and foundations

Basements are generally full height and dry, often with an older partial finish. Testing of old floor tile and mastic comes before demolition.

Basements under the 1950s to 1970s homes of Ellisville are usually dry and full height, and many were finished decades ago with paneling, acoustic tile and nine-inch floor tile. Those materials need testing before they are disturbed. Once cleared, the big ranch footprints give generous lower levels.

Kitchens, baths and interiors

Closed floor plans and original bathrooms are usual. Removing a kitchen wall typically calls for an engineered beam.

Mid-century kitchens in Ellisville are compact and walled off. In a ranch the fix is often straightforward, since interior partitions carry little load, and opening the kitchen to the living area transforms the house. Electrical service usually needs upgrading to support modern appliances.

Decks, additions and exteriors

Siding and window replacement, deck rebuilds and screened porches on shaded lots.

Mid-century lots in Ellisville are wide and level with mature trees, which makes them excellent for screened porches and low decks. Shade means damp, so composite decking and rot-proof trim earn their cost here.

Permits in Ellisville

The City of Ellisville handles permitting for its addresses.

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.
