Bathroom Remodeling

What We Renovate and Install

A bathroom is made up of many elements, and a proper renovation should clean them all up. We do more than just cosmetics - we update everything from the layout, utilities, and finishes so that the bathroom can last for decades.

What do we offer?

• Layout updates - optimize the layout for greater comfort.
• Shower renovation - replacing shower enclosures and finishes.
• Bathtub to shower conversion - convert bathtubs to comfortable showers.
• Vanities & storage - install vanities and storage systems.
• Tile & waterproofing - waterproofing and tiling with durable grout.
• Lighting & mirrors - install lighting and mirrors for visual expansion.
• Ventilation fans & ducting - install an extractor hood with exhaust to the outside.
• Heated floors - warm floors for a cozy feel.
• Fixtures (valves/faucets) - use modern faucets and valves.
• Accessibility - install handrails, benches and barrier-free devices.
• Minor framing/drywall - refinish partitions and walls.

Small Bathroom Redesign that Actually Works

Small bathrooms are a special challenge. When designing a small bathroom remodel, it is important to properly distribute the space so that it is both functional and visually light. This can be:

• a niche in the shower room for storage;
• a pocket or narrow door instead of a swinging door;
• a hanging cabinet for visual lightness;
• a glass partition instead of a curtain;
• large format light-colored tiles;
• backlit mirrors;
• thoughtful storage layout;
• underfloor heating for comfort.

This can all be applicable in small bathroom redesign.

Waterproofing, Ventilation, and Code Compliance

Every bathroom is exposed to moisture on a daily basis, so waterproofing and ventilation are essential to a quality renovation. To protect structures from damage and mold, we use the most modern materials and technologies. All work is performed strictly within building codes. The list of services includes:

• membrane installation and joint sealing;
• proper sump pitches;
• sealed niches and corners;
• ventilation with venting to the outside, not the attic;
• IRC, NEC and Illinois Plumbing Code compliance;
• Permits to relocate plumbing, electrical and ventilation.

We do the necessary permitting ourselves.

Bathtub to Shower Conversion

Increasingly, homeowners in Chicago and the suburbs are choosing a shower over a bathtub. It's practical, safe, and helps save space, especially in smaller bathrooms. We complete these turnkey projects with attention to detail, installing:

• low or barrier-free threshold;
• built-in seat or shelf;
• non-slip flooring;
• glass panels instead of curtains;
• drainage and slopes per code;
• new faucets and valves.

Renovation vs Refinish vs Reconstruction

Terms in bathroom remodeling are often confused, but each has its own purpose. We honestly explain the difference to our clients and offer possible justifiable options depending on the condition of the room.

• Bathroom refinishers - cosmetic and surface refinishing.
• Bathroom renovation - partial replacement of elements and light transfers.
• Bathroom reconstruction - a complete overhaul of walls, communications and the complete layout.

Materials and Finishes that Last

For a bathroom to last for decades, it's not only the design that matters, but also the materials. We use proven materials that are designed to last even in high humidity. These include:

• moisture-resistant substrates;
• tiles and porcelain tiles;
• anti-mold grout;
• quality plumbing fixtures;
• lighting with protection for wet areas.

Our Process

To ensure that the client understands what is happening at every stage, we have developed a transparent work process. 

1. Consultation & options - discuss tasks and options.
2. Design & estimate - create a design and estimate.
3. Permits & scheduling - obtain permits, agree on timelines.
4. Build - installation with floor protection and dust control.
5. Final walkthrough & care tips - hand over the job and give recommendations.

From the first consultation to final acceptance, we accompany the project with the utmost attention to every step of the process.

Pricing Guidance

There is no one-size-fits-all budget for bathroom remodeling. The final cost depends on many factors: 

• the square footage of the room;
• the relocation of plumbing or electrics;
• the level of finishing materials;
• installation of a bathtub or shower;
• glass or custom designs;
• permitting needs.

Three typical scenarios:

• Cosmetic refresh - light renovation.
• Mid-range renovation - mid-range renovation with carry-overs.
• Full gut & re-layout - major remodeling.

We explain what the price is so that the client understands what they are paying for.
