Remodeling the City's historic homes

The City of St. Louis is defined by its red-brick housing stock — late-1800s and early-1900s rowhouses, flats, Victorians and grand historic homes with original woodwork, high ceilings and detailed masonry. These homes reward careful rehabilitation: updating kitchens, baths and systems while preserving the brick, trim and character that make city living distinctive.


Neighborhoods we serve

We work throughout the city, including the Central West End, Lafayette Square, Compton Heights, Tower Grove, Shaw, Soulard and St. Louis Hills.


Projects built for city living

Historic home rehabs, kitchen and bath renovations, whole-home updates and finished lower levels are among our most common city projects — modernizing historic homes without erasing their past.

Reviews From St. Louis

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!

St. Louis Remodeling FAQS

Do you handle City of St. Louis permits and historic district review?

Yes. Many city neighborhoods are local historic districts with design-review standards through the city's preservation process, and we manage those approvals along with standard permitting.

Can you rehab a historic brick home?

Rehabbing the city's historic brick homes is central to our work — we update layouts, kitchens, baths and systems while preserving masonry, millwork and the home's historic character.

How long does a city home remodel take?

A kitchen or bath typically runs 8 to 12 weeks of construction; full historic rehabs take longer. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins.

What does design-build mean for my project?

Design and construction are handled by one accountable team, so there's no gap between plans and build — one point of contact from concept to completion.
