Glendale, MO General Contractor and Home Remodeling
Remodeling gives you the freedom to stay in the home and neighborhood you love while improving how that space works for your life. Around here, that often means updating homes that were built decades ago. Many have solid bones but need a better layout, updated systems, or more space to keep up with modern living. At 5stone, we handle remodeling from design through construction with one integrated team. We listen carefully, manage every step, and help bring new function and comfort to homes across the St. Louis area.
We know the homes here well, from tight driveways and older plumbing to compact lots. We work with each client to find practical, lasting solutions. If your home needs more than a surface refresh, we’re the kind of contractor that digs into the details and delivers.

Our Capabilities
Whole Homes
Sometimes, a full renovation makes more sense than tackling one room at a time. If your home has seen too many mismatched updates or you’ve just purchased a fixer-upper, we can help you reimagine the entire layout. We take care of design, structural changes, and finishing work in-house, so your home feels cohesive when it’s done. With older homes in Glendale, we also evaluate foundations, HVAC systems, and electrical panels to make sure everything behind the walls supports the life you want to live inside them.
Kitchens
Many kitchens in Glendale were built at a time when homes were more segmented. Today, open layouts and practical storage matter more. We remodel kitchens to improve flow, add usable counter space, and increase natural light. Whether you want a space that supports family dinners or one that can handle weekend hosting, we’ll help shape the layout, materials, and appliances around your daily routines. Every kitchen is different. We take time to make sure it fits your goals and your home’s structure.
Garage Transformations
A converted garage can add livable square footage without the cost or zoning complications of a full addition. We’ve helped homeowners in Glendale turn attached and detached garages into guest suites, offices, gyms, and creative workspaces. We address everything from insulation and structural reinforcement to electrical upgrades and finishes. When done right, a converted garage adds flexibility and long-term value to your home.
Basement Remodels
Our local basements often offer untapped potential, but they come with some quirks. Low ceilings, moisture issues, and poor lighting can all limit their use. We help homeowners turn these spaces into functional, comfortable rooms. Whether it’s a playroom, home theater, or guest retreat, we manage layout, waterproofing, egress access, and finishes that match the tone of the home. The result is a space that feels intentional, not leftover.
Upgrade Your Bathroom
A bathroom should make the morning rush easier, not more frustrating. In many Glendale homes, these spaces are too small, too dark, or simply outdated. We remodel bathrooms to improve layout, storage, lighting, and durability. That might mean converting a tub into a walk-in shower or building a custom vanity that actually fits the room. We help you choose materials that hold up to daily use while keeping the design simple and comfortable.
Custom Woodworking
Built-in shelving, mudroom benches, accent walls, and window seating can turn an average space into something much more personal. We design custom carpentry features that match your home’s size and architectural style. This kind of work often solves everyday issues like clutter in tight areas or lack of functional storage. Whether your home leans traditional or modern, we create features that support how you actually live in the space.
Home Additions
When the square footage just doesn’t cut it anymore, an addition gives you room to grow. We design and build additions that feel like they were part of the original home. That includes matching exterior details, connecting floorplans cleanly, and avoiding awkward transitions. From second stories to small bump-outs, we work closely with Glendale homeowners to plan additions that meet today’s needs and still look good in ten years.
Design and Planning
Every good remodel starts with solid planning. We walk you through layout options, budget ranges, and material choices before construction ever begins. We also look closely at the home’s structure and systems to catch anything that might affect the timeline. When you have a clear plan from the start, the rest of the project feels more manageable. Our job is to guide that process and make sure you're never guessing what's coming next.

FAQs
Do You Handle Both Design and Construction?
Yes. At 5stone, design and construction happen under one roof. You’ll work with the same team from the first layout concept to the final punch list. This keeps communication clear and decisions aligned. There’s no disconnect between what you imagined and what gets built, because we manage the entire process, from structural planning to finish selections.
What Makes Remodeling in Glendale Homes Unique?
Many Glendale homes were built between the 1930s and 1970s. They have character, but often include compact rooms, outdated electrical systems, or older plumbing. We’re familiar with these quirks and take the time to understand what’s behind the walls. Whether it’s a tight kitchen or a closed-off layout, we approach each remodel with solutions that respect the structure while modernizing the space.
Can You Remodel a Basement With Low Ceilings?
Yes. Low ceilings are common in Glendale basements, but they don’t have to prevent a quality remodel. We look at ways to maximize headroom, such as adjusting HVAC ductwork, leveling the floor, or using recessed lighting. Moisture control and insulation are also key. The result is a basement that feels like a true extension of your home, not an afterthought.
How Much Does a Remodel Cost?
Project costs vary widely based on scope. A full kitchen remodel typically ranges from $50,000 to $170,000, depending on layout changes, material choices, and appliance upgrades. Bathroom renovations often start around $20,000 and can reach $60,000+ for high-end finishes or layout overhauls. Whole-home renovations or additions are priced individually. We’ll walk through all options and give you a clear quote before we begin.
Do Garage Conversions Need Special Permits?
Most garage conversions in Glendale will require a permit, especially if plumbing, HVAC, or major structural changes are involved. We handle all drawings and applications in-house and stay familiar with local code requirements. Our goal is to make the space fully functional while following zoning rules, setbacks, and building guidelines that apply in your neighborhood.
What Types of Custom Woodworking Do You Offer?
We design and build custom pieces that fit your space exactly. That includes built-in bookshelves, mudroom benches, accent walls, banquette seating, and integrated storage. These features are especially helpful in homes with limited square footage or tight entries. Our carpentry work is crafted with your layout and aesthetic in mind—never an afterthought or add-on.
Do You Help With Materials and Finish Selections?
Yes. We guide you through everything from flooring and tile to cabinets, countertops, and paint. Some clients come with inspiration boards; others need help starting from scratch. Either way, we walk through what makes sense for your home’s style, budget, and functionality. We also help you understand what’s worth splurging on and where you can save without compromising quality.
Will You Match the Existing Architecture?
We always consider the original design of your home when planning a remodel. Whether you live in a mid-century ranch or a brick two-story with Craftsman details, we match rooflines, trim styles, siding, and interior finishes so the new work feels consistent. The goal is to improve how the home functions while preserving what makes it feel like home.
Do You Take On Small Remodeling Jobs?
Yes, but it depends on scope and scheduling. If the job requires full design and construction support—like a bathroom update or finishing a basement—we’re a great fit. For small repairs or surface-level upgrades, another contractor may be a better match. The best way to know is to reach out and tell us about your goals. We’re happy to talk it through.

Whether you’re near Manchester Road, Berry Road, or tucked back on a quiet street, you’re within our regular service area.
