Aging-in-Place & Accessible Remodeling in Innsbrook, Missouri

Innsbrook homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for an accessibility remodel in Innsbrook is spent on the route from the car to the bedroom and bath, door widths and every step along the way, which tells us how A-frame chalets and newer lake homes were put together.

The housing stock here: a-frame chalets from the 1970s onward, newer custom lake homes and condominiums, nearly all on wooded lots.

Large homes have room for a residential elevator, and we frame and wire the shaft.

What we find inside Innsbrook homes

Chalet renovations involve vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, loft stairs, compact kitchens and baths, and often under-insulated walls. We update for year-round comfort while keeping the character.

Primary bathrooms in Innsbrook 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

We coordinate with occupational therapists and family members on Innsbrook projects and position every bar, seat and control with the actual user standing or sitting there.

We take on accessibility remodel work in and around lakefront chalets and homes throughout the Innsbrook resort.

What we watch for

Two-story homes in Innsbrook with no main-floor full bath are the hardest to adapt. We look at the powder room and adjacent closets first, since borrowing a few feet is cheaper than adding on.

Innsbrook properties tend to be steep, wooded lakefront sites with tight access, and that affects how we stage materials, where carpenters, a plumber, an electrician and a tile setter park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Innsbrook

The Village of Innsbrook and Warren County is where we file for an accessibility remodel in Innsbrook, and the job will see inspections for structural, plumbing and electrical changes.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from the resort's architectural control committee, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, an accessibility remodel in Innsbrook generally runs two to four weeks for a bathroom.

Innsbrook is west on I-70 to Wright City, then south, a little over twenty minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

What moves the price in Innsbrook

We price aging-in-place & accessible remodeling in Innsbrook from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Curbless shower construction, which depends on floor framing or slab.
• Number of doorways widened, particularly in bearing walls.
