Remodeling and general contracting in Troy, Missouri

The housing in Troy

A historic center, 1990s to current subdivisions, and rural property surrounding town.

A whole-home update in a Troy 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.

Basements and foundations

Full basements are standard in subdivision homes and many remain unfinished. Lots were sometimes graded quickly, so we look for negative slope toward the foundation.

Homes built in Troy between the late 1970s and the 2000s nearly all have full poured basements, and a large share were finished once already by an owner or handyman, often without permits. We open a few walls before quoting, because what is behind them decides whether this is a refresh or a rebuild.

Kitchens, baths and interiors

Builder-grade kitchens and baths from the early 2000s are due. Layouts are straightforward and respond well to new cabinetry, tops and flooring.

The kitchens of Troy's building-boom years follow a formula: oak cabinets, a soffit, a peninsula or small island, and a desk by the phone jack. The plumbing and structure are usually fine, so budget goes into layout improvement, cabinetry and surfaces.

Decks, additions and exteriors

Decks and patio covers are frequent requests. Many lots back to fields with full sun and wind exposure.

Builder decks in Troy from these decades were minimal and are now at or past the end of their safe life. Replacement is a chance to correct ledger flashing, deepen footings and build something sized for how families use outdoor space today.

Permits in Troy

The City of Troy handles permits in town, and Lincoln County handles unincorporated addresses.

We prepare the drawings, submit the application, meet the inspectors and close the permit. If your subdivision has an architectural committee, we put together that package as well. Our permit guide and HOA approval guide explain both processes.
