Home Additions in Versailles
Seamless additions that look like they've always been there — primary suites, sunrooms, lake-view great rooms, and second stories.
A Home Addition Is the Highest-Stakes Construction Project on Your Property — Get It Right.
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. A structural addition — whether it's a bedroom over the garage, a sunroom that opens to the lake, or a second story — has to integrate with your existing foundation, framing, roof structure, and mechanical systems. Getting the structural engineering wrong produces cracks, leaks, and settlement. Getting the design wrong produces a space that doesn't match the home's flow. Getting the contractor wrong produces both. We bring licensed structural engineering, in-house design, and a trade team that builds from foundation through finish under one roof and one contract.

Home Addition Projects Across Versailles & the Lake
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. Additions at the Lake often involve building on hillside lots with variable soil, extending structures toward regulated shoreline setbacks, and working with older foundations that weren't built to carry additional loads. Ameren SMO restrictions apply to any modification that could affect your shoreline zone. We navigate all of this in design before we break ground — so your addition goes through permitting, SMO review, and structural inspection without surprises.

What Our Clients Say
"Our master bath looks like it belongs in a five-star resort. Marble, frameless glass, heated floors — and they finished early. We will use them for every project going forward."
"We hired them for a kitchen remodel and a new deck. The craftsmanship is on a different level. The project manager kept us informed every single day."
"Whole-home renovation done right. Single team, single contract, single point of contact. They re-engineered our flow and the result is stunning."
"From the first sketch to the final art-hang, everything was handled. We walked into a styled, finished home. Worth every dollar."
"We hired Lake Ozarks Remodeling Co for our full common area renovation — lobby, corridors, pool house, and clubhouse. They worked around our homeowners professionally, stayed on schedule, and delivered results our board and residents are extremely proud of. Property values have improved noticeably."

"We've contracted them for a restaurant remodel and a commercial office build-out. Professional from day one. They understand how to work in active commercial spaces, keep disruption minimal, and deliver on schedule. Highly recommended for any business owner at the lake."
Common Questions, Honest Answers
Does adding square footage to my lake home require a permit?
Yes — any structural addition requires building permits, inspections, and in lakefront locations, often Ameren SMO review as well. We manage all permitting from initial submission through certificate of occupancy. Unpermitted additions create significant problems at resale and in insurance claims.
How do you ensure an addition won't damage the existing foundation or structure?
We begin every addition project with a structural assessment of the existing foundation and framing system. We identify load-bearing elements, assess the foundation's capacity to carry additional load, and design the connection between existing and new construction to perform as a single integrated system. We don't start building until the engineering is confirmed.
What kinds of additions are most popular at the Lake of the Ozarks?
The most requested additions at the Lake are sunrooms and screened porches that extend living space toward the water, primary bedroom suites, garage conversions and expansions, and second-story additions to single-story ranch homes. Bunkhouse additions and guest wing expansions are also common for vacation properties with high seasonal guest volume.
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.
