Remodeling in Chesterfield, Updated for How You Live Now
Many Chesterfield homes were built a generation ago for the way families lived then. The bones are often good; the kitchens, baths and basements just haven't kept pace. Elite Pro Restoration is a family-owned, licensed and insured remodeling company, and we work directly with Chesterfield homeowners from the first walkthrough to the final look-around.
Remodeling in a Chesterfield home
Chesterfield's housing came of age in the late twentieth century. The median home was built in 1982, roughly seven in ten date from the 1970s through the 1990s, and only about one percent were built before 1940. About six in ten are single-family detached houses, roughly one in eight is an attached home such as a townhome, and nearly four in five homes are owner-occupied.
That puts a lot of Chesterfield homes at the age where original kitchens, bathrooms and finishes are ready for a refresh. We help you rethink layouts, open up rooms, and bring finishes up to date without starting over.
Why Homeowners Choose Elite Pro Restoration
Remodeling your home means letting someone into your daily life, and we don't take that lightly. As a local, family-owned company, we're not juggling a call center or subcontracting out your project to strangers. You'll work with the same team from your first walkthrough to the final coat of paint, and you'll always know what's happening next and why.
Our Process, Start to Finish
Every remodel starts with a free in-home consultation, where we walk your space, talk through your goals, and give you a clear, honest quote — no surprise change orders buried in fine print. From there, our design team helps you choose finishes, cabinetry, and materials that fit your home and your budget. Once work begins, you'll have a single point of contact for the entire project, from demo day to your final walkthrough.
What We Remodel in Chesterfield
Permits in Chesterfield: City and County
Chesterfield permits work in two steps. Before construction starts, the City of Chesterfield must approve a Municipal Zoning Approval (MZA) application. That approval then goes to St. Louis County, which issues the building permit, because the city contracts with the county for permitting and inspection services. Permits apply whether the work is interior or exterior.
For interior remodeling and finishing work, the city offers same-day review of the zoning approval. Chesterfield's code also has specific regulations for single-family additions. We handle both steps for you, so you're never the one carrying paperwork between offices.
Common Questions About Remodeling in Chesterfield
Who issues building permits in Chesterfield?
St. Louis County issues the permit, after the City of Chesterfield approves a Municipal Zoning Approval application. We take care of both.
Do I need a permit for an interior remodel?
Yes. Chesterfield's permitting covers interior as well as exterior work, and the city offers same-day zoning review for interior remodeling.
My home was built in the '80s or '90s. What's worth updating?
Kitchens and primary baths are common starting points, and an unfinished basement is often the biggest opportunity. We'll walk the house with you and help you set priorities.
Can you finish my basement?
Yes. Basement finishing is one of our core services, and we handle the zoning approval and county permit as part of the job.
How much will my project cost?
Every home and every wish list is different, so we don't guess from a distance. We walk your space, talk through your goals, and give you a clear written quote after a free in-home consultation.
