Whole-Home Renovation in Harvester, MO

Harvester homes and this kind of project

Because Harvester is made up of 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories, the first thing we check for a whole-home renovation here is structure, wiring, plumbing, HVAC and the building envelope, before any finishes are discussed.

The housing stock here: 1970s to 1990s ranches and two-stories in established subdivisions, with some newer infill.

With modern wiring and plumbing already in place, the money goes to layout and finishes.

What we find inside Harvester homes

Closed kitchens with soffits, fluorescent box lighting and peninsula layouts are common. Removing soffits and opening a wall changes these homes a great deal.

A whole-home update in a Harvester house from this period is mostly about finishes and layout, since wiring and plumbing are modern. That keeps cost per square foot lower than in older homes, and the result feels like new construction.

What is included

A Harvester whole-home renovation with us covers assessment, master planning, design, engineering, permits, demolition, structural changes, mechanical system upgrades, insulation, drywall, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, trim, paint and exterior work as required.

We take on whole-home renovation work across Harvester, from neighborhoods along Harvester Road and Caulks Hill Road to the Highway 94 and Jungermann Road area.

What we watch for

Depending on when it was built, a Harvester home may have an undersized electrical service, aging supply piping or original ductwork that never balanced properly. We inspect all three before design begins.

Working on leafy, established subdivision lots, as we do in Harvester, we plan access for every trade, sequenced by one project lead before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Harvester

For a whole-home renovation at a Harvester address, the paperwork goes to St. Charles County, because Harvester is unincorporated. Expect full plan review and staged inspections.

Since this work shows from outside, also plan on subdivision trustees in some neighborhoods. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a whole-home renovation in Harvester generally runs three to eight months.

Harvester is a little under half an hour by I-70 or Highway 364 from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

Whole-Home Renovation in Harvester: common questions

How long does a whole-home renovation take in Harvester?

Three to eight months of construction following two to four months of design and permitting. In Harvester, permit review by St. Charles County, because Harvester is unincorporated and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.

Do I need approval beyond a permit for a whole-home renovation in Harvester?

Possibly. In Harvester you may be dealing with subdivision trustees in some neighborhoods. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.

Renovate or tear down and rebuild?

If the foundation and framing are sound and the layout can be adapted, renovation is usually less expensive and keeps your setbacks and mature lot. We give you an honest comparison.
