5 Things Every St. Louis Homeowner Should Verify
Most contractor problems are preventable. These checks take under an hour and catch the most common hiring mistakes.
Ask for their MO contractor license number — then verify it yourself at the state licensing website before signing anything.
Request a certificate of insurance. Call the carrier directly to confirm general liability and workers' comp are active.
Get at least three written bids. Any quote more than 30% below average is a red flag, not a deal.
Ask specifically about permit requirements for home addition. A contractor who says "no permit needed" for structural work is a liability.
Read recent Google and BBB reviews for complaint patterns — not just star averages. One-star reviews reveal how disputes get resolved.
AboveBoardPros handles checks 1 and 2 for you.
Every contractor on this page has had their license cross-checked against the MO state database and insurance verified. You negotiate the contract — but you start from a verified shortlist.

Home Addition in St. Louis: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does home addition cost in St. Louis?
In St. Louis, home addition typically ranges from $40,000 to $150,000. Getting three written bids from licensed contractors is the most reliable way to calibrate your specific project.
How long does home addition typically take?
Timeline depends on project scope. Ask for a written schedule before work begins, and specifically ask about material lead times and permit inspection windows — these cause most delays.
Do I need a permit for home addition in St. Louis?
Home additions always require a building permit. The permit process covers structural plans, foundation, framing, electrical, and final inspections at multiple stages. No licensed contractor will begin an addition without pulling permits — and unpermitted additions must be disclosed in any home sale.
Are addition contractors in St. Louis required to be licensed?
Yes. St. Louis enforces active licensure and insurance. Ask any contractor for their license number and verify it at the MO state licensing website before signing a contract.
How does AboveBoardPros select addition contractors?
Four-point check: active license confirmed against the MO licensing authority, corporate standing reviewed, insurance validated, business reputation analyzed. We reject roughly 40% of applicants and monitor every listed contractor continuously. A license that lapses means removal.
