Whole-Home Renovation in St. Peters, MO

St. Peters homes and this kind of project

Our first visit for a whole-home renovation in St. Peters is spent on structure, wiring, plumbing, HVAC and the building envelope, before any finishes are discussed, which tells us how ranches, split-foyers and two-stories from the 1970s to 1990s were put together.

The housing stock here: 1970s to 1990s ranches, split-foyers and two-stories, with brick fronts and siding on the other three sides.

With modern wiring and plumbing already in place, the money goes to layout and finishes.

What we find inside St. Peters homes

Split-foyer and older two-story plans have small, closed kitchens. Opening them to the living room is the most requested change and typically needs a beam. Bathrooms often have original cast iron tubs worth keeping and re-tiling around, or replacing with a shower.

A whole-home update in a St. Peters house from this period is mostly about finishes and layout, since wiring and plumbing are modern. That keeps cost per square foot lower than in older homes, and the result feels like new construction.

What is included

For St. Peters 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 St. Peters, from the Mid Rivers area to Spencer Creek neighborhoods and Old Town St. Peters.

What we watch for

Depending on when it was built, a St. Peters home may have an undersized electrical service, aging supply piping or original ductwork that never balanced properly. We inspect all three before design begins.

St. Peters properties tend to be mature, tree-shaded lots, 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. Peters

The City of St. Peters is where we file for a whole-home renovation in St. Peters, and the job will see full plan review and staged inspections.

Exterior work in St. Peters can also involve older subdivision indentures that are still in force, and we put that package together for you.

Schedule and getting to you

On site, a whole-home renovation in St. Peters generally runs three to eight months.

St. Peters is a little over twenty minutes east on I-70 from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.

Whole-Home Renovation in St. Peters: common questions

How long does a whole-home renovation take in St. Peters?

Three to eight months of construction following two to four months of design and permitting. In St. Peters, permit review by the City of St. Peters 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. Peters?

Possibly. In St. Peters you may be dealing with older subdivision indentures that are still in force. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.

Can we do it in phases over several years?

Yes. We build the master plan first so that early phases never have to be undone by later ones.
