Wildwood homes and this kind of project
Our first visit for a whole-home renovation in Wildwood is spent on structure, wiring, plumbing, HVAC and the building envelope, before any finishes are discussed, which tells us how custom homes on large wooded lots and rural estates were put together.
The housing stock here: 1980s to 2000s custom and semi-custom homes on large wooded lots, newer town-center development and rural estates.
Expect a long, decision-heavy project run with a decision log and weekly meetings.
What we find inside Wildwood homes
Expect spacious homes with two-story great rooms, extensive oak trim and dated kitchens. Millwork updates, stair balustrade replacement and kitchen redesign are typical.
Whole-home renovations in Wildwood are long projects with many decisions. We assign a dedicated lead, hold scheduled weekly meetings and keep a running decision log so the process stays orderly.
What is included
For Wildwood 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 Wildwood, from neighborhoods along Highway 109 and Manchester Road to estates near Babler State Park and Wildwood Town Center.
What we watch for
Depending on when it was built, a Wildwood home may have an undersized electrical service, aging supply piping or original ductwork that never balanced properly. We inspect all three before design begins.
Site logistics matter: Wildwood has steep, wooded acreage where tree and grading rules apply, so we agree with you where every trade, sequenced by one project lead will park, store material and carry out debris.
Permits and approvals in Wildwood
For a whole-home renovation at a Wildwood address, the paperwork goes to Wildwood's zoning review and the St. Louis County permit process. Expect full plan review and staged inspections.
Exterior work in Wildwood can also involve the city's tree preservation and grading rules, and we put that package together for you.
Schedule and getting to you
Plan on three to eight months of site work for a whole-home renovation in Wildwood, once permits and materials are in hand.
Wildwood sits toward the edge of our range: I-64 to Chesterfield and then south on Highway 109, around forty minutes. We group trade visits and deliveries carefully for projects at that distance, and we take them on when the scope justifies a dedicated crew.
What our whole-home renovation looks like
Photographs from jobs we have built. We do not label photographs by town, so these may or may not be near Wildwood; they are here so you can judge the standard of finish before we meet.
What moves the price in Wildwood
We price whole-home renovation in Wildwood from a site visit, not a square-foot figure. These are the items that change the number.
- Number of kitchens and bathrooms included.
- Finish level and the amount of custom millwork.
More detail
Our step-by-step method for this work, and the factors that move its price, are laid out on the main whole-home renovation page. More about the area is on our Wildwood page.
Whole-Home Renovation in Wildwood: common questions
How long does a whole-home renovation take in Wildwood?
Three to eight months of construction following two to four months of design and permitting. For Wildwood we group trade visits to keep that schedule tight despite the drive.
Do I need approval beyond a permit for a whole-home renovation in Wildwood?
Possibly. In Wildwood you may be dealing with the city's tree preservation and grading rules. 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.
