Remodeling Clayton's pre-war homes

Clayton is defined by solid 1910s-1930s brick and limestone homes — Tudors, Georgians and Colonial Revivals with formal floor plans, butler's pantries and compact original kitchens. On tight, high-value lots, the smartest moves are often reconfiguring interiors and building up or to the rear rather than out, and our design-build team plans both together.

Neighborhoods we serve

We remodel homes across Clayton, including Claverach Park, DeMun, the Moorlands, Davis Place and the Wydown-Forsyth corridor.

Projects built for Clayton living

High-end kitchen and bath renovations, whole-home modernization of period homes, and third-floor or rear additions are our most common Clayton projects — executed to the finish level this neighborhood expects.

Reviews From Clayton

Aptitude Design and Build just finished a 3rd project in our home! Since 2020 they have been welcomed into our home to build us the kitchen/laundry room of my dreams, the kid’s bathroom and just they finished a luxury primary bathroom/walk in closet. The team at Aptitude really wants to give you the remodel you want. They are very responsive to problems and solutions when hiccups/unexpected surprises come up. I highly recommend you give them the opportunity on your next project.

Aptitude Design & Build did a fantastic job on our kitchen renovation! They helped us achieve our vision and maintained excellent communication throughout. Right from the bidding process, they had ideas for optimizing our layout that other companies hadn’t thought of. The designer they assigned us listened to what aesthetic we were looking for and helped us choose cabinets and finishes that were within our budget. Aptitude had, by far, the best communication of any contractors we’ve worked with. Overall, we love our kitchen and are grateful for the work Aptitude did! We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again on another project.

I would definitely recommend Aptitude Design and Build for your remodel project. Communication is very important to Aptitude. Our project was a major kitchen remodel besides new paint, flooring and upgrades in electrical all through out our 40 year old house. The workers in our house were very respectful of our family and belongings. I cannot say enough about how happy we are with our old house with a new facelift!

Clayton Remodeling FAQS

Do you handle Clayton permits and design review?

Yes. Clayton has strong municipal and historic-district design review, and we manage the full approval and permitting process so your project stays compliant and on schedule.

Can you add space to a home on a small Clayton lot?

Often, yes. On Clayton's compact lots we design additions that go up or to the rear, and reconfigure existing square footage, to add usable space without overbuilding the lot.

Do you work on condos and flats in Clayton?

Yes — we handle interior renovations of condos, flats and apartments in addition to single-family homes, coordinating with building requirements as needed.

What does design-build mean for my project?

Design and construction live under one roof, so your designer and your builder are the same accountable team — one contract, one schedule, one point of contact from concept to completion.
