Frontenac homes and this kind of project
Because Frontenac is made up of estate homes from mid-century to new, 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: estate homes on lots of an acre or more, from mid-century to new.
Steam showers, stone slab walls and dressing-room closets are typical requests in larger homes.
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
A Frontenac primary bath remodel from us covers design, engineering for any joist work, permits, full demolition, plumbing and electrical rework, a ducted fan, waterproofing, tile, custom or semi-custom vanities, stone tops, frameless glass, heated floors, paint and closet systems.
We take on primary suite remodel work in and around estates off Clayton, Geyer and Spoede roads.
What we watch for
Those big tub decks in Frontenac 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.
Working on acre-plus sites, as we do in Frontenac, we plan access for carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, tile setters, a glass installer and cabinetmakers before the first delivery arrives.
Permits and approvals in Frontenac
For a primary suite remodel at a Frontenac address, the paperwork goes to the City of Frontenac. Expect framing, plumbing, electrical and final inspections.
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
On site, a primary suite remodel in Frontenac generally runs five to eight weeks.
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 primary bathroom & suite remodels 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 primary bathroom & suite remodels in Frontenac from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Closet build-out and any bedroom work included.
- Moving the toilet or tub drain versus working around them.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main primary bathroom & suite remodels page. More about the area is on our Frontenac page.
Primary Bathroom & Suite Remodels in Frontenac: common questions
How long does a primary suite remodel take in Frontenac?
Five to eight weeks on site. For Frontenac we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Who will be working in my Frontenac home during a primary suite remodel?
Carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, tile setters, a glass installer and cabinetmakers, 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.
Is a freestanding tub practical?
It is if you take baths. It needs a floor-mounted or wall-mounted filler, room to clean around it and adequate floor framing. If you do not take baths, put the money in the shower.
