Town and Country homes and this kind of project
A home addition in Town and Country means working in estate homes ranging from mid-century ranches to new custom builds, so on our first visit we look at the plat, setbacks and easements, then floor heights, rooflines and HVAC capacity.
The housing stock here: estate homes from mid-century ranches to new custom construction on lots of an acre or more.
Matching brick, stone and custom windows is the hard part, and we source them first.
Lots, exteriors and approvals in Town and Country
Pavilions, pool houses, screened porches and additions. Tree protection and stormwater rules are strict, and we plan site access with them in mind.
Additions to Town and Country homes must match demanding originals: brick and stone, steep roofs, custom windows. We source matching materials early, because a poor brick match on a house of this caliber is not acceptable.
What is included
A Town and Country addition with us includes feasibility review, design, structural engineering, permits, excavation, foundation, framing, roofing, windows, exterior finishes, all mechanical trades, insulation, drywall, flooring, trim and paint.
We take on home addition work in and around estates along Mason, Clayton and Conway roads.
What we watch for
Rear-yard easements and building lines in Town and Country subdivisions are often tighter than owners expect. We confirm the buildable area from the recorded plat before anyone gets attached to a floor plan.
Town and Country properties tend to be acre-plus lots with protected trees, and that affects how we stage materials, where an excavator, a foundation crew, framers, a roofer and every interior trade park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in Town and Country
The City of Town and Country, with permits coordinated through St. Louis County is where we file for a home addition in Town and Country, and the job will see plan review plus footing, foundation, framing, trade, insulation and final inspections.
Exterior work in Town and Country can also involve the city's architectural review and strict site rules, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
Most Town and Country clients see three to six months of construction for a home addition.
Town and Country is straight down I-64 to the I-270 area, about thirty-five minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.
What our home additions looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Town and Country; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Town and Country
We price home additions in Town and Country from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Complexity of the roof tie-in and exterior matching, especially brick.
- HVAC and electrical service upgrades.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main home additions page. More about the area is on our Town and Country page.
Home Additions in Town and Country: common questions
How long does a home addition take in Town and Country?
Design and permitting typically take two to four months. For Town and Country we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a home addition in Town and Country?
Possibly. In Town and Country you may be dealing with the city's architectural review and strict site rules. City or county approval and private approval are separate, and we prepare both submittals and wait for written approval before ordering materials.
Will the addition match?
That is the goal. Siding profiles and shingles can usually be matched closely. Brick is harder on older houses, and we show you samples against the wall before committing.
