Aging-in-Place & Accessible Remodeling in Weldon Spring, Missouri

Weldon Spring homes and this kind of project

Because Weldon Spring is made up of custom homes on an acre or more and the estates of Whitmoor, the first thing we check for an accessibility remodel here is the route from the car to the bedroom and bath, door widths and every step along the way.

The housing stock here: custom homes from the 1970s onward on large lots, golf community estates and recent luxury construction.

Large homes have room for a residential elevator, and we frame and wire the shaft.

What we find inside Weldon Spring homes

Homes from the 1980s and 1990s here were well built but are heavily dated: oak everything, brass, closed formal rooms. Whole-floor renovations that open the plan, replace the staircase balustrade and rework the kitchen are typical.

Primary bathrooms in Weldon Spring are large, and owners want them to feel like a spa: steam showers, freestanding tubs, heated floors, custom vanities and natural stone. Steam and stone each have technical requirements we design for from the beginning.

What is included

In Weldon Spring we build zero-threshold showers, install blocking and grab bars, widen doorways, flatten thresholds, build ramps and landings, convert main-floor rooms to bedrooms with accessible baths, improve lighting and swap hardware throughout.

We take on accessibility remodel work across Weldon Spring, from the Highway 94 and Wolfrum Road area to Whitmoor Country Club and Weldon Spring Heights.

What we watch for

Garage-to-house entries in Weldon Spring usually have two or three steps. A ramp inside the garage needs length, so we measure the rise before anyone counts on parking two cars afterward.

Working on rolling, wooded sites with real slope, as we do in Weldon Spring, we plan access for carpenters, a plumber, an electrician and a tile setter before the first delivery arrives.

Permits and approvals in Weldon Spring

In Weldon Spring, an accessibility remodel is reviewed by the City of Weldon Spring or St. Charles County, depending on the parcel. What follows is inspections for structural, plumbing and electrical changes.

Being inside the house, this project is unlikely to need sign-off from gated-community and subdivision architectural review, but we confirm any rules on containers and work hours.

Schedule and getting to you

Most Weldon Spring clients see two to four weeks for a bathroom of construction for an accessibility remodel.

Weldon Spring is down I-64 to Highway 94, 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 moves the price in Weldon Spring

We price aging-in-place & accessible remodeling in Weldon Spring from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.

• Ramp length. Code slope is one inch of rise per foot of run, so a twenty-four-inch rise needs twenty-four feet of ramp.
• Whether a main-floor bedroom suite is a conversion or an addition.
