Remodeling contractor in Ladue, MO
Established homes and close review. Kitchens, baths and additions built to fit the house.
Ladue is established housing: 1920s to 1960s homes on generous lots, many of them architect-designed, with owners who expect the new work to look like it was always there.
The city reviews plans closely and holds a high bar on exterior work. About thirty-five minutes from Cottleville, so we take Ladue projects that justify the drive: kitchens, baths, additions and whole-level remodels.
What we do here
The work Ladue homes ask for

Questions Ladue homeowners ask
Do you take jobs in Ladue?
Yes. Ladue is about 35 minutes from our office on State Route N in Cottleville, well inside the area we work every week.
Who pulls the permit for a remodel in Ladue?
We do. Ladue issues its own building permits through the city. We submit the application, schedule each inspection and meet the inspector on site.
Do you charge for the first visit?
No. The walkthrough and the written quote are free. You only pay once you sign a contract and work is scheduled.
How soon can you start?
It depends on the season and the size of the job. Small projects such as a staircase or a deck can often start within a few weeks; kitchens and basements are scheduled once cabinets or materials are confirmed. We give you a real date, not a guess.
Who does the electrical on your jobs?
First Choice Electric, a licensed electrical contractor based minutes from our shop. When the job needs wiring, we bring them in and coordinate the schedule.
Are you licensed and insured?
We are insured, and we handle the permits on every job that needs one. Missouri has no statewide general contractor licence; a few cities license contractors, and we follow each city's rules. Ask and we will send the certificate of insurance.
Can I see work you have done near Ladue?
Yes. The project gallery on this site is all our own jobs, and we can point you to a nearby one that matches what you have in mind.
Does Ladue take longer to permit?
Additions and exterior changes get close review there. We plan that time into the schedule up front so it does not surprise you.

From our Google Business Profile and Facebook page, shown as written.
Sean and John came in and turned my abysmal bathroom into something amazing. Great service, professional, timely and excellent at communicating. They will be back to do many other projects for me.
Sean, from SC2 contracting just finished building my new deck. I couldn't be more pleased! Not only did Sean do a great job, but he made the project very pleasant by always communicating when he'd be at my house, if it was okay to work on weekends, and what was happening next. He clearly is a man of high integrity, taking pride in doing a good job and working hard every day to get the job done(even in the St Louis heat we had this summer).
I will definitely be in touch with him again to do other projects for me, and have no doubt I'll get the same wonderful results!!
Very professional to work with and outstanding quality.
