Innsbrook homes and this kind of project
Our first visit for a home addition in Innsbrook is spent on the plat, setbacks and easements, then floor heights, rooflines and HVAC capacity, 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.
Matching brick, stone and custom windows is the hard part, and we source them first.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Innsbrook
Decks are the main living space here and take heavy weather under the trees. We replace many with composite or PVC on corrected framing. Screened porches are close to essential by the water.
Additions to Innsbrook 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 Innsbrook 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 lakefront chalets and homes throughout the Innsbrook resort.
What we watch for
Matching discontinued siding colors and weathered shingles on Innsbrook homes takes planning. Sometimes re-siding or re-roofing one full elevation gives a better result than trying to blend.
Innsbrook properties tend to be steep, wooded lakefront sites with tight access, and that affects how we stage materials, where an excavator, a foundation crew, framers, a roofer and every interior trade park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in Innsbrook
The Village of Innsbrook and Warren County is where we file for a home addition in Innsbrook, and the job will see plan review plus footing, foundation, framing, trade, insulation and final inspections.
Exterior work in Innsbrook can also involve the resort's architectural control committee, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
On site, a home addition in Innsbrook generally runs three to six months.
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 our home additions looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Innsbrook; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Innsbrook
We price home additions in Innsbrook from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Foundation type: slab, crawlspace or basement.
- What the rooms are. A bedroom costs less per foot than a kitchen or bath.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main home additions page. More about the area is on our Innsbrook page.
Home Additions in Innsbrook: common questions
How long does a home addition take in Innsbrook?
Design and permitting typically take two to four months. In Innsbrook, permit review by the Village of Innsbrook and Warren County and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a home addition in Innsbrook?
Possibly. In Innsbrook you may be dealing with the resort's architectural control committee. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Can we live in the house during construction?
In most cases. We build the shell first and break through the connecting wall near the end, which limits dust and disruption to a few weeks.
