St. Louis City
RossBuilt Construction serves homeowners throughout St. Louis City, including Tower Grove, Southampton, Lafayette Square, Soulard, The Hill, Dogtown, Bevo Mill, Carondelet and the Central West End. We are a residential general contractor focused on doing the prep work right and standing behind every job.
St. Louis City is full of solid brick homes built 80 to 130 years ago. They have character worth keeping and quirks that come with age: plaster walls, old-growth wood floors with decades of patches, original windows, flat or low-slope roofs on many flats and rowhouses, and kitchens and baths that have been remodeled several times over the years.
Remodeling older city homes
Work on a century-old house takes patience. Floors are rarely level, walls are rarely square, and opening one up can reveal old knob-and-tube wiring or galvanized plumbing. We plan for that, explain what we find, and make updates that respect the original character while making the house work today. Homes built before 1978 may have lead paint, so we use lead-safe work practices on any work that disturbs painted surfaces.
Permits and historic districts
The City of St. Louis requires permits for most structural, roofing, deck, electrical and plumbing work, and homes in local historic districts may need exterior changes reviewed before work begins. We help you sort out what applies to your project.
