Bathroom renovation
in St. Louis, MO
A great bathroom does two things well: it works flawlessly for your daily routine, and it gives you a space to slow down and breathe. When yours can’t do either, a renovation can change the way every morning and evening feels.
Designed around how you actually live
Bathrooms are one of the most personal spaces in a home, and the best ones are designed around the specific habits and preferences of the people who use them. A primary suite for a couple who love long soaks looks very different from a hall bathroom shared by two teenagers.
Our design team takes the time to understand who uses the space, how they use it, and what frustrates them about the current setup. Every decision is grounded in how the room will actually be used, not just how it will look.
Because we’re a design-build firm, the people designing your bathroom are working alongside the people who will build it. One team, start to finish.
Every bathroom in your home, reimagined
Not every bathroom renovation is the same scope or budget. We work on every type of bathroom in the home.
Primary suites
Zero-entry showers, freestanding soaking tubs, heated flooring, custom double vanities, and thoughtful lighting that shifts from bright and functional in the morning to warm and relaxing in the evening.
Hall & guest baths
Durable materials, smart storage, and layouts that make the most of every square foot. The right tile, fixtures, and vanity can transform a dated hall bath into something fresh and intentional.
Powder rooms
A small space with an outsized impact. Bold tile, a statement vanity, dramatic lighting, or a vessel sink can turn a forgettable closet-sized space into one of the most talked-about rooms in your home.
What a bathroom renovation can include
The scope depends on your goals and your home, but here are the elements we work with most often:
Custom tile & stonework
Shower surrounds, floor tile, accent walls, niches in ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and glass
Vanities & countertops
Custom-built, semi-custom, or furniture-style with quartz, marble, or solid surface tops
Shower & tub installations
Walk-in showers, zero-entry, frameless glass, freestanding tubs, tub-to-shower conversions
Fixtures & hardware
Coordinated finishes in brushed nickel, matte black, polished chrome, gold, or oil-rubbed bronze
Lighting
Vanity lighting, recessed, shower lighting, and dimmable controls for function and atmosphere
Ventilation
Upgraded exhaust fans and humidity controls to protect from moisture damage
Plumbing reconfiguration
Moving drains, supply lines, and fixtures to accommodate new layouts
Heated flooring
Radiant floor heating under tile for year-round comfort
Bathroom renovation across St. Louis
The bathroom challenges homeowners face in St. Louis depend largely on when and where their home was built.
South City, Webster Groves & Maplewood
Small bathrooms with outdated plumbing, cast-iron drains, and limited ventilation. Many were built with a single bathroom for the entire house, making additions or conversions a common request.
Ladue, Clayton & Frontenac
Primary bathrooms from the 1960s and 1970s with oversized jetted tubs nobody uses, separate shower stalls with dated tile, and disconnected vanity areas. The most common request: replace the tub with a spacious walk-in shower and create a spa-like experience.
Chesterfield, Town and Country & western suburbs
Large primary bathrooms with the square footage but lacking design personality. Builder-grade tile, basic vanities, and standard fixtures that can all be elevated with thoughtful material selections.
What our clients are saying…
“Aleto Construction Group did an excellent job on our main floor bathroom. They were professional, knowledgeable, good work ethic, met deadlines and worked with us on the budget. The workers were professional and cleaned up after themselves at the end of each day. We would hire them again and they were all friendly too from the owner on down to all the workers!”

Frequently asked questions
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in St. Louis?
A hall bathroom refresh can start in the mid-four figures, while a full primary suite renovation with layout changes and premium materials typically ranges from mid-five figures into the low six figures. We provide detailed estimates before work begins.
How long does a bathroom renovation take?
Most bathroom renovations take four to eight weeks. Smaller projects may be quicker, while primary suites with plumbing reconfiguration or structural changes take longer.
Should I replace my bathtub with a walk-in shower?
This is one of our most common requests. A walk-in shower typically offers more usable space, easier maintenance, and a more modern look. If you enjoy baths, a freestanding soaking tub can be added elsewhere in the bathroom.
Can I use my other bathrooms during the renovation?
Yes. If you have additional bathrooms, you can continue using them while we work. For single-bathroom homes, we minimize disruption and keep the timeline as tight as possible.
Do I need permits for a bathroom renovation?
Yes, most likely. In St. Louis, if the renovation involves plumbing, electrical, or structural work (which most do), permits are required. Our team handles the permitting process as part of the project.
What’s the best tile for a bathroom?
Porcelain is the most popular choice for floors and showers because it’s durable and water-resistant. Natural stone adds luxury but requires more maintenance. We’ll help you choose materials that match your aesthetic, budget, and practical needs.
