General Contractor + Home Remodeling in Webster Groves
From bungalows to brick colonials, each home is shaped by different lifestyles and preferences. But as your life shifts, so do the demands placed on your living space. Even if your house felt perfect at one point, it might now be off-balance, awkward, or outdated.
5stone helps bring those homes back into alignment. We handle both design and construction, so there’s no handoff between firms. That means you’re not chasing answers or coordinating a dozen voices. We plan carefully, build clearly, and carry your priorities through from the first walk-through to the final punch list. Whether the project touches one room or rewrites the floorplan, we bring consistency and excellence. For a complimentary inspection and estimate, get in touch. We would love to hear from you.

How We Can Help
Kitchen Closed Off?
A lot of older homes in Webster Groves were built with closed-in kitchens and narrow work zones. Some feel tight even when the square footage isn’t small. We help open those spaces up, not always by removing walls, but by improving flow, light, and function. We relocate appliances, rethink storage, and rework how the kitchen fits with the rest of the home. The result is a space that supports real life, not just a pretty photo.
Some Rooms Just Never Worked
Sometimes the problem isn’t one room. It’s the way the whole house moves, or doesn’t! Maybe there’s a front room you never use, or a back hallway that bottlenecks traffic. Whole-home remodeling lets us rethink those pieces in a cohesive way. We reshape the layout, update systems, and design for how people actually live. This approach helps older homes retain their character while gaining a more natural rhythm.
Unused Basement Space
A surprising number of basements in Webster Groves are partially finished (or finished long ago with materials that haven’t aged well). We take a clean-slate approach. That includes moisture protection, updated insulation, and lighting that lifts the space. Once the foundation is solid, we build basements that serve real purpose: guest space, recreation rooms, creative studios, or quiet offices that don’t sit at the kitchen table.
Welcome More Visitors
Entertaining feels different when your home is set up for it. We work with clients who want their house to host better. That could mean a new powder room off the living area, a more welcoming guest suite, or an entryway that gives people a place to pause and take their shoes off. These aren’t extravagant additions. They’re considered changes that make people feel comfortable—whether they live there or are just visiting for dinner.
Upgrade Your Garage
In a neighborhood with older homes, garages often serve as storage for stuff, not vehicles. But that footprint can be turned into something useful. We’ve helped clients turn detached garages into workshops, exercise rooms, or offices with real privacy. We also rework attached garages to include mudrooms or utility space that takes pressure off the main part of the house.
Add Missing Features
Some homes in Webster Groves were never quite finished in the way the owners hoped. Maybe there’s no primary suite, or the dining room feels disconnected. We handle additions that feel natural, not bolted on. That means matched materials, consistent rooflines, and floorplans that flow. From sunrooms to second-story expansions, we build new space that respects what was already there—and makes the whole home feel more complete.
Custom Built-Ins
When you live in a house long enough, you start to notice what it’s missing. Maybe there’s nowhere to drop your bags when you walk in. Maybe you need more shelves for books, or a breakfast bench for kids to gather. We build custom carpentry that solves small problems without cluttering the room. The work is tailored to your layout and style, not pulled from a catalog.
Careful Planning and Execution
Before any tools come out, we take a good look at the structure, systems, and layout. We check what’s hiding behind the walls and under the floors. We talk about what matters most to you and where flexibility makes sense. It’s a steady approach; not rushed, not sales-driven. Just honest feedback, clear drawings, and a shared plan for how to move forward. When the planning phase is thoughtful, the rest of the project moves with confidence.

We Live and Work Here
We’ve worked in neighborhoods all over Webster Groves, from Blackburn Park to the historic homes off Big Bend. Each project brings something different. Some homes need updates that honor original woodwork or tile. Others have hidden conditions that come with age: settling foundations, outdated wiring, plaster walls. We know what to look for, how to plan around it, and how to do the work with as little disruption as possible.
We Design and Build With Your Goals in Mind
Our clients want their homes to work better without turning them into something they were never meant to be. We’re not just builders. We’re the same people who design the layout, create the timeline, order the materials, and show up to install them. That unity matters. It keeps the quality consistent, the priorities intact, and the communication clear from start to finish.
