Primary Bathroom & Suite Remodels in Ladue, Missouri

Ladue homes and this kind of project

A primary suite remodel in Ladue means working in architect-designed houses from the 1920s to 1950s and newer estates, so on our first visit we look at the floor framing under the tub deck, plumbing routes and which walls between bath, closet and bedroom can move.

The housing stock here: architect-designed homes from the 1920s to 1950s, mid-century ranches and new estates on large lots.

Old houses have no primary suite, so creating one means combining two bedrooms or adding on.

What we find inside Ladue homes

Plaster repair, matching historic trim profiles, integrating modern kitchens into traditional plans, and rewiring. It is slow, careful work and is priced accordingly.

Bathrooms in pre-war Ladue homes have cast iron drains, galvanized supplies and tile set in a thick mortar bed over sagging joists. Demolition is slow and heavy. We replace the old piping as far back as we can reach, reinforce the floor and rebuild with modern waterproofing behind a period-appropriate finish.

What is included

For Ladue suites we stage the work so your bedroom stays sleepable: a sealed dust wall at the bath door, negative air where we are cutting, and daily cleanup of the path through the house.

We take on primary suite remodel work in and around lanes off Ladue, Warson and Litzsinger roads.

What we watch for

Primary baths over garages, common in Ladue two-story plans, have cold floors and supply lines in an exterior-adjacent cavity. We add insulation from below or heat in the floor while it is open.

Ladue properties tend to be large lots on winding private lanes, and that affects how we stage materials, where carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, tile setters, a glass installer and cabinetmakers park and how debris leaves the site.

Permits and approvals in Ladue

Ladue's building department is where we file for a primary suite remodel in Ladue, and the job will see framing, plumbing, electrical and final inspections.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from a thorough architectural review board, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.

Schedule and getting to you

Plan on five to eight weeks of site work for a primary suite remodel in Ladue, once permits and materials are in hand.

Ladue sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 east past Lindbergh, a little over forty minutes in normal traffic. 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 Ladue

We price primary bathroom & suite remodels in Ladue from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Custom vanity cabinetry and stone tops.
• Closet build-out and any bedroom work included.
