Home Additions in Frontenac, Missouri

Frontenac homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a home addition in Frontenac is spent on the plat, setbacks and easements, then floor heights, rooflines and HVAC capacity, which tells us how estate homes from mid-century to new were put together.

The housing stock here: estate homes on lots of an acre or more, from mid-century to new.

Matching brick, stone and custom windows is the hard part, and we source them first.

Lots, exteriors and approvals in Frontenac

Covered terraces, pavilions and additions with close attention to the city's site and tree rules.

Additions to Frontenac homes must match demanding originals: brick and stone, steep roofs, custom windows. We source matching materials early, because a poor brick match on a house of this caliber is not acceptable.

What is included

During Frontenac additions we keep the existing house weather-tight and secure, build temporary dust walls at the tie-in, and schedule the breakthrough late so your daily life is disrupted for weeks rather than months.

We take on home addition work in and around estates off Clayton, Geyer and Spoede roads.

What we watch for

Matching discontinued siding colors and weathered shingles on Frontenac homes takes planning. Sometimes re-siding or re-roofing one full elevation gives a better result than trying to blend.

Working on acre-plus sites, as we do in Frontenac, we plan access for an excavator, a foundation crew, framers, a roofer and every interior trade before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Frontenac

For a home addition at a Frontenac address, the paperwork goes to the City of Frontenac. Expect plan review plus footing, foundation, framing, trade, insulation and final inspections.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on the city's architectural review. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Schedule and getting to you

Plan on three to six months of site work for a home addition in Frontenac, once permits and materials are in hand.

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 moves the price in Frontenac

We price home additions in Frontenac from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• What the rooms are. A bedroom costs less per foot than a kitchen or bath.
• Complexity of the roof tie-in and exterior matching, especially brick.
