Troy homes and this kind of project
A bathroom remodel in Troy means working in a historic center ringed by 1990s-and-later subdivisions, so on our first visit we look at the subfloor around the toilet and tub, where the fan exhausts and the age of the valve and piping.
The housing stock here: a historic center, 1990s to current subdivisions, and rural property surrounding town.
Fiberglass tubs and tile over moisture-resistant drywall are what fail in boom-era baths.
What we find inside Troy homes
Builder-grade kitchens and baths from the early 2000s are due. Layouts are straightforward and respond well to new cabinetry, tops and flooring.
One-piece fiberglass tubs, cultured marble vanity tops and corner whirlpools define bathrooms in Troy 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
For Troy bathrooms our standard gut scope includes demolition, subfloor and framing repair, new shower valve and supply stops, updated drain connections, a ducted quiet fan, GFCI circuits, membrane waterproofing, tile, vanity and top, toilet, glass, paint and accessories.
We take on bathroom remodel work across Troy, from historic Main Street to subdivisions along Highway 47 and Highway 61.
What we watch for
Second-floor baths in Troy two-stories were frequently vented into the attic with flex duct lying in the insulation. We run the duct to a roof or gable termination as part of every remodel.
Troy properties tend to be subdivision lots that often back to open fields, and that affects how we stage materials, where a plumber, an electrician, a tile setter and carpenters park and how debris leaves the site.
Permits and approvals in Troy
In Troy, a bathroom remodel is reviewed by the City of Troy or Lincoln County. What follows is plumbing and electrical inspections when lines or circuits change.
Interior work like this normally does not involve subdivision covenants, though dumpsters and working hours sometimes do, and we check.
Schedule and getting to you
Most Troy clients see three to four weeks of construction for a bathroom remodel.
Troy is straight north on Highway 61, a little over twenty minutes from our Wentzville base. We plan crew days and deliveries around that drive so you get full working days on site.
What our bathroom remodeling looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Troy; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Troy
We price bathroom remodeling in Troy from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Condition of what is under the old floor and behind the old walls.
- Whether plumbing fixtures stay in place.

Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main bathroom remodeling page. More about the area is on our Troy page.
Bathroom Remodeling in Troy: common questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Troy?
A hall bath gut remodel takes three to four weeks. In Troy, permit review by the City of Troy or Lincoln County and material lead times affect the start date more than our calendar does.
Who will be working in my Troy home during a bathroom remodel?
A plumber, an electrician, a tile setter and carpenters, scheduled and supervised by one Henry Hill project lead who is your single point of contact. Licensed trades are used wherever the City of Troy or Lincoln County requires them.
Why did my old shower fail?
Usually no real waterproofing behind the tile, a pan liner with no pre-slope, or movement at the curb. All three are avoidable with current methods.
