Clayton, MO General Contractor and Home Remodeling
Some homes deserve more than a quick update, and in Clayton, our remodeling projects often involve thoughtful design paired with historic integrity. Many properties in this area were built to last, with plaster walls, detailed trim, and layouts that made sense for their time. At 5stone, we help homeowners bring those homes forward without losing what makes them unique. Our design-build model keeps everything connected, from the earliest plans to the final walk-through.
From the brick homes near Wydown Boulevard to the Tudor-style houses in the Moorlands, we work throughout Clayton to create updates that hold up over time. Every project is carefully planned to reflect your style and meet your needs, all while preserving the character of your home.

Home Remodeling Services in Clayton
Kitchen Remodeling
Older kitchens often hide their age behind surface updates. We look deeper. In many Clayton homes, kitchens need better lighting, new layouts, and smarter storage. We work with clients who want to preserve arched openings, original millwork, or hardwood flooring while still improving function. That might mean adding custom cabinetry that matches the scale of the home or reworking a galley layout to make the space easier to navigate. Whether you cook every day or just want a better place to gather, we’ll build a kitchen that fits your life.
Custom Carpentry
Built-in features and trim work add lasting beauty and usefulness. We design custom carpentry for shelving, wall panels, benches, window seats, and more. Each project reflects the size and style of your home. In Clayton, many houses already have unique woodwork that deserves to be extended or matched. We also create pieces that solve real problems, like clutter in tight entryways or a lack of functional storage in living areas. Every detail is shaped around the home, and not the other way around.
Full Renovations
A full remodel can make the home feel complete again. If your space has been updated in stages or no longer supports your needs, we can help rework the entire layout. We look at how rooms connect, how traffic flows, and how natural light can be improved. In homes with original materials, we take steps to match door styles, trim profiles, and floor finishes. This type of work often requires both planning and creative thinking, and that’s exactly where our process shines.
Small and Large Bathrooms
Bathrooms are often tight and outdated in older homes. We help you reimagine the space, whether that means adding a walk-in shower, building a better vanity, or increasing natural light. We address layout, ventilation, and plumbing upgrades along the way. From compact hall baths to primary suites, we remodel bathrooms that are easier to clean, more comfortable to use, and more consistent with the rest of your home’s style.
Basement Remodeling
Basements in Clayton vary widely in condition and layout. Some have good ceiling height and natural light, while others need substantial work to become livable. We help you evaluate the space and determine what’s possible. That might include waterproofing, adding egress windows, framing new rooms, or finishing floors and ceilings. We’ve turned basements into guest suites, home offices, recreation areas, and more. Our goal is to make the space feel like part of the home, not a leftover zone.
Garage Renovation
Unused garages can offer more than just storage. If you need a home office, studio, gym, or extra bedroom, converting your garage may be the smartest move. We upgrade the structure, tie in heating and cooling, and finish the space so it feels intentional. Detached and attached garages can both be repurposed, depending on layout and zoning. We help you explore the options and deliver a space that feels complete—not like an afterthought.
Additions
When there’s no more room to rearrange, an addition can provide the space your household needs. We build additions that match the look and feel of the original home. That includes aligning rooflines, replicating window styles, and using materials that blend with the existing exterior. Inside, we make sure the new space ties in through flooring, trim, and layout flow. In Clayton, thoughtful design matters. Additions should look and feel like they were always part of the house.
Careful Inspections & Design
Older homes require smart planning before the first nail is driven. We take time at the beginning to look at structural issues, review the systems behind the walls, and talk through what might need updating as part of the remodel. We’ll help you map out priorities and stay grounded in what really matters to your project. That saves time and reduces surprises. With the right preparation, remodeling becomes a lot more straightforward and a lot less stressful.

Contractors in Clayton and Surrounding Suburbs
We’ve completed projects in neighborhoods throughout Clayton, including streets near DeMun Avenue, Hanley Road, and Northmoor Park.

We understand how to work within older structures and how to plan around features that newer homes don’t have. Our work respects what’s already there while updating it for long-term function.
What It’s Like to Work With Us
We don’t split your remodel between separate design and construction companies. At 5stone, we manage the process from start to finish. That keeps things consistent and eliminates the confusion that can happen when too many teams are involved. We take your ideas seriously and turn them into detailed plans. Then we carry those plans through to construction with attention to detail and open communication. You don’t have to wonder who’s doing what—we keep everything aligned.
