St. Paul homes and this kind of project
Because St. Paul is made up of an older village core and newer acreage and subdivision homes, the first thing we check for a whole-home renovation here is structure, wiring, plumbing, HVAC and the building envelope, before any finishes are discussed.
The housing stock here: a small older village core with newer subdivision and acreage homes around it.
Infrastructure such as well equipment, septic and outbuildings is folded into one plan.
What we find inside St. Paul homes
Newer homes need finish updates. Older ones need systems brought up to date as part of any kitchen or bath remodel.
Whole-house work on rural property near St. Paul includes the infrastructure: well equipment, septic, propane, long electrical service runs and sometimes outbuildings. We fold those into a single plan.
What is included
A St. Paul whole-home renovation with us covers assessment, master planning, design, engineering, permits, demolition, structural changes, mechanical system upgrades, insulation, drywall, kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, trim, paint and exterior work as required.
We take on whole-home renovation work across St. Paul, from the village center to subdivisions off Highway 79.
What we watch for
Opening up floor plans in St. Paul two-story homes nearly always involves a bearing wall. Engineering, beam sizing and the load path to the foundation are built into our early budget figures.
St. Paul properties tend to be larger lots north of the O'Fallon growth line, and that affects how we stage materials, where every trade, sequenced by one project lead park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in St. Paul
In St. Paul, a whole-home renovation is reviewed by the City of St. Paul or St. Charles County. What follows is full plan review and staged inspections.
Since this work shows from outside, also plan on subdivision covenants where they exist. We prepare that submittal alongside the permit.
Schedule and getting to you
On site, a whole-home renovation in St. Paul generally runs three to eight months.
From our Wentzville base, St. Paul is a bit over fifteen minutes toward Highway 79. That is close enough that your project lead can stop by most days.
What our whole-home renovation looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near St. Paul; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in St. Paul
We price whole-home renovation in St. Paul from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Structural changes for open plans.
- Number of kitchens and bathrooms included.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main whole-home renovation page. More about the area is on our St. Paul page.
Whole-Home Renovation in St. Paul: common questions
How long does a whole-home renovation take in St. Paul?
Three to eight months of construction following two to four months of design and permitting. In St. Paul, permit review by the City of St. Paul or St. Charles County and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a whole-home renovation in St. Paul?
Possibly. In St. Paul you may be dealing with subdivision covenants where they exist. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
How do you handle surprises in old houses?
We investigate before pricing, carry a stated contingency and document any discovery with photos and a written change order before proceeding.
