Remodeling Ladue's estate homes

Ladue's wooded lots hold grand 1920s-1940s estates — Tudor, Georgian, Colonial Revival and French-eclectic — alongside mid-century ranches and new custom builds. These homes reward careful whole-home updates, kitchen and primary-suite expansions, and estate-scale additions that honor the original architecture and the generous grounds around them.

Areas we serve

We work throughout Ladue, including Briarcliff, Twin Springs, Fair Oaks and the neighborhoods near the city's country clubs and private schools.

Projects built for Ladue living

Our Ladue work centers on luxury kitchen and bath renovations, whole-home modernization, and large additions — all held to the finish, millwork and material standards estate homes demand.

Reviews From Ladue

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!

Ladue Remodeling FAQS

Do you handle Ladue's zoning and permitting requirements?

Yes. Ladue enforces large minimum lot sizes, significant setbacks and green-space requirements, and we manage the full design, approval and permitting process around them.

Do you take on estate-scale, whole-home renovations?

We do. Much of our Ladue work is large-format — whole-home updates, primary-suite and kitchen expansions, and additions — coordinated as a single design-build project.

Will the remodel match the quality of my home?

That's the point of design-build at this level: custom millwork, premium materials and detailing are designed and built by one team, so the result is consistent with the home's existing craftsmanship.

What does design-build mean for my project?

One team designs and builds your renovation, so there's a single point of accountability and no handoff between architect and contractor — important on complex, high-value projects.
