No stock photos — every shot below is from a recent Howe Renovations project.
We take on the work most contractors won't — rotted subfloors, custom mantels, stair rebuilds — and finish what we start.
Composite decks, structural rebuilds, picture-frame finishes, aluminum rails, lattice.
Open-up walls, custom butcher block, cabinetry refresh, electrical rework.
Full gut, proper venting, waterproofing, custom tile niches, recessed cabinets.
Custom staircases, stone mantels, hidden wiring, structural rework, finish carpentry.
We're a small shop in O'Fallon, Missouri, working across the St. Louis area. Our crew is small on purpose — every project gets one of us on site, every day. We pick up after ourselves. We answer the phone. And we treat your home the way we'd treat our own.
Straight answers from a contractor who's seen the inside of a lot of walls. No upsell.
Composite costs more upfront but lasts 25–30 years with zero maintenance. Wood is cheaper but needs sealing every 1–2 years.
A full gut: 2–4 weeks. A cosmetic refresh: 3–5 days. Here's what eats the calendar.
Five signals: bounce, dark stains, the screwdriver test, hollow thud, crumbling fibers. Two or more means call somebody.
If the joists, ledger, or posts are rotted: replace. If only surface boards or rails: repair can work. Here's the line.
Non-load-bearing: 1–2 days. Load-bearing: needs a beam and an engineer. Here's how to tell which is which.
Free, no-pressure estimates. We'll come look at the space, talk through what you want, and send you a fixed quote.
