Primary Bathroom & Suite Remodels in O'Fallon, Missouri

O'Fallon homes and this kind of project

A primary suite remodel in O'Fallon means working in two-stories and atrium ranches from the 1985 to 2010 boom, 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: mostly 1985 to 2010 production two-stories, ranches and atrium ranches, with older ranches and bungalows near the original town center.

The corner whirlpool on a tiled deck is the feature we remove most in homes of this period.

What we find inside O'Fallon homes

The typical O'Fallon kitchen has honey oak cabinets, a peninsula and a breakfast nook, with a formal dining room on the other side of a wall. Homeowners commonly ask to remove that wall and build a large island. Hall baths have one-piece fiberglass tubs ready for conversion.

One-piece fiberglass tubs, cultured marble vanity tops and corner whirlpools define bathrooms in O'Fallon homes of this period. Tile was often set over moisture-resistant drywall, which has since failed. Everything wet gets rebuilt from the studs.

What is included

A O'Fallon primary bath remodel from us covers design, engineering for any joist work, permits, full demolition, plumbing and electrical rework, a ducted fan, waterproofing, tile, custom or semi-custom vanities, stone tops, frameless glass, heated floors, paint and closet systems.

We take on primary suite remodel work across O'Fallon, from Wyndgate to the Highway K corridor and old town O'Fallon.

What we watch for

Primary baths over garages, common in O'Fallon 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.

Working on established subdivision lots with fenced rear yards, as we do in O'Fallon, we plan access for carpenters, a plumber, an electrician, tile setters, a glass installer and cabinetmakers before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in O'Fallon

In O'Fallon, a primary suite remodel is reviewed by the City of O'Fallon building division. What follows is framing, plumbing, electrical and final inspections.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from neighborhood HOAs and, in WingHaven, a master association, 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 O'Fallon, once permits and materials are in hand.

From our Wentzville base, O'Fallon is fifteen minutes or so east on I-70 or I-64. That is close enough that your project lead can stop by most days.

What moves the price in O'Fallon

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

• Moving the toilet or tub drain versus working around them.
• Shower size, tile selection and amount of frameless glass.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main primary bathroom & suite remodels page. More about the area is on our O'Fallon page.
