Remodeling and general contracting in Manchester, Missouri

The housing in Manchester

1950s to 1980s ranches, split-levels and two-stories.

Houses of this age in Manchester frequently have 100-amp electrical service, aging drain lines and original ductwork. A whole-home renovation lets us renew all of it at once while opening the floor plan.

Basements and foundations

Older basements with period finishes. We plan for material testing and wall reconstruction.

Basements under the 1950s to 1970s homes of Manchester are usually dry and full height, and many were finished decades ago with paneling, acoustic tile and nine-inch floor tile. Those materials need testing before they are disturbed. Once cleared, the big ranch footprints give generous lower levels.

Kitchens, baths and interiors

Compact original kitchens and baths and aging electrical systems. Remodels include system updates.

Mid-century kitchens in Manchester are compact and walled off. In a ranch the fix is often straightforward, since interior partitions carry little load, and opening the kitchen to the living area transforms the house. Electrical service usually needs upgrading to support modern appliances.

Decks, additions and exteriors

Siding, windows, decks and porches on tree-shaded lots.

Mid-century lots in Manchester are wide and level with mature trees, which makes them excellent for screened porches and low decks. Shade means damp, so composite decking and rot-proof trim earn their cost here.

Permits in Manchester

The City of Manchester handles permits for its addresses.

We prepare the drawings, submit the application, meet the inspectors and close the permit. If your subdivision has an architectural committee, we put together that package as well. Our permit guide and HOA approval guide explain both processes.
