Remodeling contractor in Lake St. Louis, MO
Lakefront and golf-course homes where decks, covered porches and outdoor living get priority.
Lake St. Louis is built around its two lakes and the golf course, and the homes reflect that: 1970s and 1980s houses on the original lake lots, newer subdivisions toward Highway 40, and a premium on outdoor space with a view.
Decks, covered porches and screened rooms are a large part of what we do here, along with the kitchen and bath remodels those older lake houses are due for.

The work Lake St. Louis homes ask for
Every service we offer is available here. These are the ones we do most in this city, and what they look like locally.

Questions Lake St. Louis homeowners ask
Do you take jobs in Lake St. Louis?
Yes. Lake St. Louis is about 15 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 Lake St. Louis?
We do. Lake St. Louis 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 Lake St. Louis?
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 the community association need to approve my deck?
On association properties, exterior changes usually need association approval in addition to the city permit. We prepare the drawings for both.

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.
