The Versailles Standard

A Design That Looks Good in Photos and Lives Well at the Lake Are Not the Same Thing.

Versailles is our hometown — the Morgan County seat where our family has built since 1958. Lake Ozarks Remodeling Co was established here in 1996 by our owner, who has personally led every project since. We've built more projects for more Versailles neighbors than any contractor in the region across 65+ years of family operation. Design at the Lake of the Ozarks has to account for things most design firms never consider: seasonal use patterns, lake humidity, materials that survive without constant maintenance, and the visual relationship between a home and its waterfront setting. We are an in-house design-build team — our designers and tradespeople work together from your first concept meeting. There is no design handoff, no translation error between what was drawn and what gets built. What you approve is what you get.

Local Expertise

Versailles Is Home — and We Work Here Like Every Neighbor Is Watching, Because They Are.

Our headquarters is at 301 Fairground Rd in Versailles — the Morgan County seat — and this is where our family has lived, worked, and built since 1958. Our owner, Michael McGee, has worked the Lake personally since 1996. We know every street, every building inspector, every supplier, and a substantial portion of the neighborhood. When you hire us for a Versailles project, your project manager is 5 minutes away at all times. Our crews don't carry a drive premium in your bid. And our reputation in Versailles is built on four generations of neighbors recommending us to neighbors — which creates a standard of accountability that no out-of-town or out-of-state contractor will ever face. Lake design is about capturing views, managing light, orienting spaces toward the water, and choosing palettes that hold up in a high-UV, high-humidity, high-use environment. It also means understanding Ameren SMO setbacks, county building requirements, and the structural realities of hillside lots and lakefront terrain. Our in-house design team has been doing this specifically at the Lake of the Ozarks since 1996 — not adapting suburban design experience to a lake context.

  • Versailles is our hometown — family building here since 1958, 5 minutes from headquarters, Morgan County licensed, zero drive premium, 65+ years of neighbor references
  • In-house design and construction integration — no gap between what is designed and what is built
  • Lake-specific material and palette selection — beautiful in year one and still performing in year ten
  • Ameren SMO, county setback, and shoreline regulation built into the first design concept
  • 3D design and virtual walkthroughs so you see the outcome before anything is demolished
  • References available from Versailles homeowners and property managers — ask during your free consultation

FAQ

Common Questions, Honest Answers

Do you offer design-only services, or must I also use your construction team?

We specialize in integrated design-build delivery — our designers and construction team work as one. This eliminates the translation errors and cost surprises that separate design and construction arrangements create. We don't offer design-only services, but clients who initially consider that model typically find the integrated approach produces better results at lower total cost.

How does your design process work and how long does it take?

We begin with an in-home design consultation — typically 1–2 hours — where we capture your goals, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences. From there we develop concept designs, a finish board, and a 3D walkthrough for your approval. Most design phases run 3–6 weeks before we move into production drawings and permitting. The process is collaborative at every step.

Can you redesign and add onto an existing lake home?

Additions and whole-home renovations are a core part of our design practice. We work with the existing structure, integrate new and renovated spaces seamlessly, and handle all engineering, permitting, and construction from the same in-house team.

What's the real advantage of hiring a contractor based in Versailles for a Versailles project?

Your project manager is 5 minutes away. Material deliveries are faster. There's no travel markup embedded in your bid. And we've been accountable to this community for 25+ years — our neighbors can find us, talk to us, and reference our past work in ways that out-of-town contractors will never face. In Versailles, our reputation is on the line on every project in a way that matters to us personally.

Do you work on historic and older homes in Versailles?

Absolutely — many Versailles properties include homes dating back 60–100+ years, and updating these homes while preserving their character is one of our genuine specialties. We assess existing structural and mechanical conditions thoroughly before we commit to scope, we're honest about what's behind the walls before budgets are finalized, and we know the Morgan County building code requirements for work on older residential structures.
