Frontenac homes and this kind of project
A bathroom remodel in Frontenac means working in estate homes from mid-century to new, 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: estate homes on lots of an acre or more, from mid-century to new.
Secondary baths in large homes are finished to the same standard as the primary.
What we find inside Frontenac homes
Custom cabinetry, stone and extensive trim work. Older homes often need mechanical and electrical modernization behind the finishes.
Primary bathrooms in Frontenac are large, and owners want them to feel like a spa: steam showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, custom vanities and natural stone. Steam and stone each have technical requirements we design for from the beginning.
What is included
For Frontenac 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 in and around estates off Clayton, Geyer and Spoede roads.
What we watch for
Under Frontenac 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.
Frontenac properties tend to be acre-plus sites, 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 Frontenac
In Frontenac, a bathroom remodel is reviewed by the City of Frontenac. What follows is plumbing and electrical inspections when lines or circuits change.
Interior work like this normally does not involve the city's architectural review, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.
Schedule and getting to you
Most Frontenac clients see three to four weeks of construction for a bathroom remodel.
Frontenac sits toward the edge of our range: down I-64 to Lindbergh, around 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 our bathroom remodeling looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Frontenac; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Frontenac
We price bathroom remodeling in Frontenac from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Condition of what is under the old floor and behind the old walls.
- Whether plumbing fixtures stay in place.

Bathroom Remodeling in Frontenac: common questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Frontenac?
A hall bath gut remodel takes three to four weeks. For Frontenac we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Who will be working in my Frontenac home during a bathroom remodel?
A plumber, an electrician, a tile setter and carpenters, scheduled and supervised by one Henry Hill project lead who is your single point of contact. Licensed trades are used wherever the City of Frontenac requires them.
Why did my old shower fail?
Usually no real waterproofing behind the tile, a pan liner with no pre-slope, or movement at the curb. All three are avoidable with current methods.
