Maryland Heights homes and this kind of project
A whole-home renovation in Maryland Heights means working in 1960s and 1970s ranches and split-levels, so on our first visit we look at structure, wiring, plumbing, HVAC and the building envelope, before any finishes are discussed.
The housing stock here: 1960s and 1970s ranches, split-levels and two-stories, plus condominiums and apartments.
A 100-amp service, aging drains and original ducts are renewed while the plan is opened up.
What we find inside Maryland Heights homes
Original kitchens and bathrooms are common, and so is limited electrical capacity. Remodels usually include a panel evaluation.
Houses of this age in Maryland Heights 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.
What is included
For Maryland Heights clients who remain in the house, we build a phased plan with a protected clean zone, a temporary kitchen and a schedule showing which rooms are out of service and when.
We take on whole-home renovation work across Maryland Heights, from the Westport area to neighborhoods near Dorsett, McKelvey and Fee Fee roads.
What we watch for
Depending on when it was built, a Maryland Heights 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 modest, mature lots, as we do in Maryland Heights, we plan access for every trade, sequenced by one project lead before the first delivery arrives.

Schedule and getting to you
Most Maryland Heights clients see three to eight months of construction for a whole-home renovation.

Whole-Home Renovation in Maryland Heights: common questions
How long does a whole-home renovation take in Maryland Heights?
Three to eight months of construction following two to four months of design and permitting. For Maryland Heights we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a whole-home renovation in Maryland Heights?
Possibly. In Maryland Heights you may be dealing with city zoning and, for commercial space, landlord rules. 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.
