General Contractor in Pleasant Hill, MO

A room addition on a Pleasant Hill home is usually the answer for a family that does not want to move. The lot works, the neighborhood works, and the only problem is the house itself got too small. We plan an addition to tie in to the existing roof line and match the look of the home so the new work reads as part of the house, not a box bolted onto the side. On an addition the foundation has to meet the existing foundation, the roof has to tie in to the existing roof, and the exterior has to line up with the siding and the trim that are already there. We read all of that before we plan, so the seam disappears and the addition looks like it was always part of the house.

A family living in the house while the addition goes on is the norm around here, not the exception, so we plan the order of operations to keep the home livable through the build. We coordinate the trades, stage the work so the household can still function, and leave a clean site at the end of the day. A remodel on a house a family is living in is the same way. We keep the home livable, run the work in the right order, and leave a clean site when we finish, because a growing family has enough going on without a construction site that takes over the house.

Garages and shops show up behind a lot of Pleasant Hill homes because a growing household collects more than the house will hold. We build detached and attached garages planned around the doors, the driveway access and what the building will actually be used for down the road, whether that is parking, storage, a workshop or a place to keep the equipment a family on a bigger lot ends up with. We size the building to fit the lot instead of swallowing it, and on a lot where a full garage is too much, a smaller shop planned the same way gives the household the space it needs without eating the yard.

New builds go up on the lots opening around the edges of town as Pleasant Hill grows, and we run those start to finish too. A new build is where the one contractor advantage really shows, because the dirt work, the foundation, the framing and the finishes all come from the same point of contact instead of a list of trades you have to line up and hold together yourself. We manage the schedule, pull the permits, and keep one phone number for the whole job so the build comes together instead of turning into a juggling act.

The advantage of one contractor running the room addition, the garage, the deck or the new build is that the work gets planned for the same property at the same time. An addition and a garage on the same lot have to clear each other, and a new build sited without any thought for where the driveway meets the road fights the lot from day one. When we own the whole project, the pieces fit together, the schedule holds together, and you have one point of contact instead of a list of trades who never talk to each other. We bring 14 years of professional experience to the way we run a job, and we manage it start to finish.

Missouri law requires a utility locate through Missouri 811 before any excavation on your property, and on an addition, a garage foundation or a new build that covers the digging from the footings on out. We build the locate into the schedule and run the project start to finish with one point of contact, so you are not coordinating trades on your own while your family is living in the house.
