Bathroom renovation in Town and Country, MO
Town and Country, Missouri homes are sprawling. The lots are measured in acres, the floor plans wander, and most homes built here from the 1980s onward have more than five bathrooms. The renovation question isn’t usually whether to fix one bathroom. It’s how to coordinate work across a primary suite, a his-and-hers pair, a pool bath, a guest wing, and a basement bath, in a way that doesn’t leave the home half-renovated for two years.
Why Town and Country homeowners trust Aleto with their bathroom
Town and Country zoning sets minimum lot sizes that produce homes on substantial acreage, which in turn produced an architectural style: large floor plans, multiple wings, multi-car garages with apartment space above, dedicated guest accommodations, pool houses, and bathrooms placed throughout. A typical Town and Country home from the 1990s or 2000s has a primary suite with separate his-and-hers vanities or sometimes separate primary baths entirely, three to four secondary bedrooms each with private or Jack-and-Jill baths, a pool or cabana bath, a basement bath connected to a finished entertainment space, and a guest suite bath in a dedicated wing. That’s seven to nine bathrooms, more than most primary residences anywhere outside this market.
The renovation challenge in Town and Country isn’t any one bathroom. It’s the coordination of multiple bathrooms in a way that respects the household’s daily life. We’ve developed an approach for these properties: phased renovations that take one bathroom or one wing offline at a time while the rest stay functional, finish-language consistency across the whole home so the renovations read as one project rather than a sequence of unrelated updates, and a project schedule that moves through the home in a logical order rather than chasing the highest-impact room first.
Aleto Construction Group has been working in Town and Country for decades, including primary suite renovations, pool and cabana bath rebuilds, full-wing renovations, and coordinated multi-bathroom projects. As a design-build firm rooted in St. Louis since 1955, we bring the project management capacity that estate-scale bathroom work requires.
What a bathroom renovation in Town and Country, MO can include
Every project is scoped to the home and the homeowner. Here are the areas we address most often in Town and Country bathroom renovations:
Coordinated whole-home bathroom renovation
Phased renovation across all the home’s bathrooms, with consistent finish language, sequenced so the household always has functional bathrooms during construction
Separate his and hers primary baths
Two distinct primary bathrooms (rather than a single shared one), each with its own shower, vanity layout, and dressing area, connected through a shared closet or vestibule
Pool and cabana baths
Pool baths and cabana facilities for properties with pools, sport courts, or detached entertaining spaces, often with direct outdoor access and durable wet-environment finishes
Guest suite bath renovations
Renovating dedicated guest wing bathrooms to the same finish standard as the primary, so visiting family and long-term guests have a comparable experience
Pool house and detached structure baths
Bathrooms in pool houses, guest cottages, garage apartments, and other detached structures, often with their own utility connections and standalone code considerations
Lower level entertainment baths
Bath build-outs in finished basements supporting home theaters, wine rooms, golf simulators, exercise facilities, and full secondary kitchens
Powder room transformations
Statement powder rooms in the main entry, the formal areas, and the guest wing, each designed for the context it lives in
Aging-in-place primary suite work
Curbless showers, integrated grab bars, wider doorways, lever hardware, and first-floor primary suite expansions for owners planning to stay through retirement
What a bathroom renovation looks like in Town and Country, MO
Town and Country bathroom renovations are shaped by the scale of the homes and the count of bathrooms in each one. Here are the scenarios we see most often.
Renovating six bathrooms without ruining a year
The most common Town and Country bathroom conversation isn’t about one bath, it’s about how to renovate all of them. The household has six or seven bathrooms, every one of them is dated to the same 1995 or 2003 build year, and trying to renovate them one at a time over five years means living through a perpetual construction project. The better approach is a phased plan: design every bathroom upfront with a consistent finish language, schedule the work in logical sequence (often primary first, then guest wing, then pool and lower level, with secondary bedroom baths interleaved), and complete the whole program in nine to fifteen months. The home is fully renovated when it’s done, the design intent is consistent across all the spaces, and the household is never without functional bathrooms because we sequence so that other baths are always available.
Two primary baths instead of one
A specifically Town and Country move: in homes with the floor plan to support it, the primary suite is renovated as two separate bathrooms rather than a shared bath with his-and-hers vanities. Each primary has its own walk-in shower (or one has a tub if the household uses one), its own vanity at the right height for the user, its own water closet, and its own approach to lighting and stone. The two baths typically connect through a shared dressing room or closet. The result is a primary suite where neither owner is waiting on the other, and each space is designed around the actual person using it.
The pool bath nobody talks about
Town and Country pool baths and cabana facilities are among the most-used bathrooms in the home in the summer and the most-neglected ones the rest of the year. A pool bath renovation typically involves durable wet-environment finishes (porcelain that handles wet feet and pool chemicals, marine-grade hardware, ventilation that prevents mildew), direct outdoor access with a proper transition, and often a separate changing area. We see these renovated either as part of a pool-house build-out or as standalone projects, and they’re often the highest-quality-of-life upgrade per dollar in a Town and Country renovation program.
Aging in for the long haul
Many Town and Country homeowners bought their homes in the 1990s or early 2000s, raised families in them, and now want to stay through retirement on their acreage rather than relocate. Bathroom renovations for aging in place include first-floor primary suite expansions or conversions, curbless showers with linear drains, wider doorways and hallways, integrated grab bars that look like millwork details, lever hardware throughout, and pool and pool-house baths designed for accessibility. The goal is a home that quietly accommodates the next 25 years without ever looking like it was modified for medical reasons.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a bathroom renovation cost in Town and Country?
Costs depend on the scope of the program. Single primary bathroom renovations in Town and Country typically run from the high five figures into the mid-six figures. Coordinated multi-bathroom programs across an estate-scale home (six to eight bathrooms) often run into the seven figures total when complete. Pool baths, secondary baths, and powder rooms are typically in the mid- to high-five figures. We provide a detailed estimate with a clear scope and a phasing plan before construction begins.
How long does a multi-bathroom renovation take?
Coordinated bathroom programs across a Town and Country home typically take nine to fifteen months from design completion through final walkthrough, depending on how many bathrooms are in scope and how aggressively they’re sequenced. Single-bathroom renovations are 8 to 16 weeks. The benefit of running multiple bathrooms as one program is that the design work, ordering, and trade scheduling all happen once rather than repeatedly across years.
Can we live in the home during the renovation?
In nearly all cases, yes. Town and Country homes have enough bathrooms that a phased renovation plan can always leave at least two bathrooms functional, including a primary or near-primary, throughout construction. We sequence the work specifically with this in mind, and we use dust containment and access protocols that limit the renovation’s footprint to the rooms actively under construction. The household typically continues normal daily life during the project.
Can you renovate the pool house bath as part of the program?
Yes, and it’s often a good time to do it. Pool house and cabana bathrooms tend to share materials and design language with the main home’s pool bath, so renovating them together produces a more coherent result. The construction is typically straightforward, but pool house baths sometimes have utility considerations (separate water meter or hot water supply, septic or sewer routing across the property) that benefit from being addressed during a planned renovation rather than as an emergency.
How do we keep the design consistent across multiple bathrooms?
By designing all of them at once, before any construction begins. We work through the full program in design (every bathroom, every finish, every fixture, every tile) and lock the schedule before breaking ground. That ensures the primary doesn’t accidentally clash with the guest wing, the powder rooms relate to the formal spaces they sit in, and the pool bath uses materials that make sense for the wet environment while still relating to the rest of the home. It also means orders go out together, lead times overlap rather than stack, and trades are scheduled efficiently across the whole program.
