Kitchen & bath remodeling in Edwardsville, IL.
Edwardsville homeowners have plenty of designers to draw a pretty kitchen. What is harder to find is one company that will design it and then build it. Padgett Building & Remodeling does both, so a single family-owned contractor stands behind your whole kitchen or bath, from Swansea about 25 minutes south.
Do you remodel kitchens and baths in Edwardsville?
Padgett Building & Remodeling remodels kitchens and bathrooms in Edwardsville, IL, serving this Madison County college town from our Swansea shop about 25 minutes south. Family-owned since 1992, we design and build the whole project under one accountable contractor, so an Edwardsville kitchen or bath is handled start to finish by the same team.
What makes remodeling in Edwardsville different?
Edwardsville is an established SIUE college town with two kinds of housing under one zip code: older, character-rich homes near the historic downtown and Leclaire, and newer subdivisions that have filled in around Glen Carbon and the Route 159 corridor. An older home wants a kitchen or bath updated without fighting the way it was built. A newer one wants finishes that finally match the way the family lives. Either way, the plans have to survive real construction, which is where a builder, not just a drawing, earns its keep.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, most homes in Edwardsville are owner-occupied. That is the long-term owner who invests in doing a kitchen or bath right, once, rather than flipping and moving on, and it is exactly the homeowner Padgett has built for since 1992.
One company designs it and builds it.
Much of the Edwardsville remodeling field is design studios. They are good at drawing a space, then the actual build gets handed to whoever is available. That handoff is where timelines slip and where, when something goes wrong, the designer points at the installer and the installer points back.
Padgett Building & Remodeling is a full-service builder. The same family that plans your Edwardsville kitchen or bath also pulls the permits, moves the plumbing and electrical, sets the cabinetry and tile, and hands you the keys. One project manager stays on your job from the first measurement to the final walkthrough, so you always know who is in your home and who is accountable.
The Padgett Way →
Kitchens and baths first, and everything after.
We lead with the two rooms Edwardsville homeowners remodel most, and we handle the rest of the house too, all on the same family standard.
Kitchen Remodeling
Custom cabinetry, counters, islands, tile, and lighting, rebuilt around how your Edwardsville family actually cooks and gathers, not a showroom photo.
Bathroom Remodeling
Primary baths and guest baths, from walk-in tile showers to full layout changes, sealed and built to last by the same crews homeowners praise for their tile work.
Basement Finishing
Turn an unfinished Edwardsville basement into bedrooms, a family room, or a full bath, permitted and built to code with proper egress.
Home Additions
More room to live without moving away from your school district, built to look original to the house rather than bolted on.
Custom Homes
Ground-up custom homes on your Madison County lot, from a local builder who communicates like a partner, not a sales office.

What makes Padgett different from a kitchen design studio?

There is no handoff and no finger-pointing.
