Code isn't the ceiling, it's the floor. We start at the floor and build up.
First conversation: what does code require, what does the permit office want to see, and what's the difference between the minimum and the right answer. We give you both numbers. The degrees mean we've actually read the code book — voluntarily — which is its own kind of illness.
Renovation plumbing and electrical we handle in-house where the law allows; where St. Louis city or county requires a licensed master trade or an inspection, we bring in our licensed guys and pull real permits. Unpermitted electrical is how houses end up on the news. We prefer our work inspected, stamped, and boring.
PEX or copper supply runs with shutoffs at every fixture (future-you, mid-leak, will weep with gratitude), drains sloped at 1/4 inch per foot — too flat clogs, too steep leaves solids behind, yes really — and every fixture vented so your traps keep their water and your house keeps its dignity. Everything pressure-tested before walls close.
Kitchens get their required small-appliance circuits, bathrooms get GFCI, bedrooms get AFCI, and nothing gets daisy-chained off a 1962 circuit that's already carrying the burden of three generations. Boxes stay accessible, splices stay in boxes, and the panel gets labeled so precisely it reads like a museum exhibit.
Faucets, disposals, water heaters, lights, fans, dimmers, smart switches that survive their firmware updates. Ceiling fans mounted to fan-rated boxes — a fan on a regular box is a helicopter audition, and we don't book that gig.
Every circuit load-tested, every GFCI tripped and reset, every drain flushed, every supply checked for weeps at working pressure. Then the walkthrough where we show you the main shutoffs — water and electrical — because every homeowner should know where their off switches live.
Everything wet or energized that a renovation touches — handled, tested, labeled.
Free walkthrough, code-literate answers, and systems work that passes inspection like it studied. Because it did.
