General Contractor + Home Remodeling in Des Peres
Most of our home remodeling projects begin with a sense that the house should be working better. The layout feels dated, the kitchen no longer fits the way your family cooks or gathers, or there’s a growing need for dedicated space to focus, relax, or host. 5stone approaches these projects with clear priorities and world-class execution. Our design-build team manages every detail, from layout changes to finish selections to the build itself, so you can plan budget and plan confidently, even in older or customized homes. When we are finished, you will enjoy a reimagined space that solves the problems you started with and holds up to everyday life. For a complimentary consultation regarding your home improvement project, please get in touch. We would be happy to speak with you.

Making a Difference in Your Quality of Life
Enjoy Your Kitchen More
We remodel kitchens with the goal of improving how they serve daily use. That might involve relocating appliances, expanding countertop space, or opening up sightlines to the dining or living areas. We often see Des Peres kitchens that look upgraded on the surface but don’t handle the demands of a busy household. Our team works with you to rethink work zones, increase storage without crowding, and introduce lighting that makes the space feel lighter and more usable.
Living Spaces That Flow
When the original layout no longer supports your daily routine, it may be time to reconsider the way the home is organized. We help rework floorplans to improve transitions, simplify traffic flow, and create better connections between rooms. Whether it means widening openings, shifting walls, or combining rooms that feel too small on their own, these changes give the home a more open and livable quality without losing structure or charm.
Use Your Basement Every Day
Unfinished or outdated basements often sit unused, even when space is at a premium. We help convert these areas into high-function zones tailored to your needs, whether that’s a quiet home office, a media room, a guest suite, or a mix of all three. In many Des Peres homes, the lower level offers a generous footprint that just needs the right systems, finishes, and layout to become valuable again.
Home Offices
More people are working from home at least part of the week, and trying to do that from a kitchen table or spare bedroom doesn’t always hold up. We help design and build offices with real privacy, light control, and custom storage. In some cases, we convert unused corners of the home into more focused areas. In others, we look at finishing attic spaces or detached structures that can serve as long-term work solutions.
Your Entry Sequence
In many homes, the entryway is an afterthought. We remodel front halls, mudrooms, and transitional zones to better handle the flow of daily life. That might include storage for shoes and bags, lighting improvements, or bench seating. These changes are small on paper but make a meaningful difference in how the house feels when you come and go each day.
Add Bedrooms
Growing families often outpace the number of bedrooms in older homes. We design and build upper-level additions or dormer expansions that add the space you need while matching the home’s exterior lines and finishes. These projects require careful planning to keep proportions right and avoid overwhelming the original structure. Our team helps you think through the long-term value and day-to-day function of the space before a single board is cut.
Custom Elements
Custom carpentry makes a noticeable difference in homes where architecture and detail already matter. We design and install built-ins, wall treatments, coffered ceilings, and other features that add both beauty and storage. In Des Peres homes, these upgrades often help unify newer renovations with the original structure. We match materials, finishes, and proportions so everything feels consistent and intentional.
We Study Your Layout and Goals
Every project we take on begins with careful study of your home and a clear understanding of your priorities. We look at the structure, systems, and layout as they are now, and explore how they can evolve without overbuilding. We talk through what you want to keep, what must change, and what would make the home function better for the long haul. That upfront clarity helps reduce changes later, shorten the construction phase, and build confidence in the process.
Our Portfolio
An Integrated and World-Class Approach in Des Peres
Various Styles and Materials
The homes in Des Peres range from midcentury ranches to newer construction on wide lots. Some have been updated frequently, while others are close to original. We’ve remodeled homes in neighborhoods near Harwood Road, Bopp Road, and Manchester, where zoning rules, elevation changes, and setbacks influence what’s possible. We understand how to adapt plans to suit the lot and how to build within the rhythm of the neighborhood without compromising privacy or quality.
Remodeling, Simplified
Our design-build model eliminates the gaps that often cause delays or confusion. You won’t be juggling separate architects, contractors, or project managers. Instead, you’ll have one cohesive team that shares the same goals from the start. We bring together layout planning, structural engineering, finish selections, and daily site management under one roof. This helps you make decisions more easily and keeps the project moving forward at a steady pace.
