About Our Bathroom Remodeling in Chicago

Chicago is a city of bathrooms with character. The housing stock varies enormously from neighborhood to neighborhood — vintage greystones in Lincoln Park, mid-century walk-ups in Logan Square, gut-renovated lofts in West Loop, modern high-rises in Streeterville, and post-war single-family homes throughout the bungalow belt. Every bathroom we touch has its own quirks, and our crews have seen them all.

Our work spans the entire city. We have remodeled bathrooms in every neighborhood from Andersonville to Bucktown, Hyde Park to West Town, Pilsen to Edgewater. The one constant across all of these projects is craftsmanship — proper waterproofing in every wet zone, real tile work with consistent grout lines, plumbing that meets current Chicago code, and finish carpentry that holds up for decades.

A Chicago bathroom renovation is different from suburban work. Permits run through the Chicago Department of Buildings, which has its own application process and inspection schedule. Many homes are in landmark districts with extra design review. Condo and co-op buildings have their own renovation rules layered on top of city requirements. We navigate all of it as part of every project.

What our Chicago bathroom remodels typically include:

  • Full demolition with dust containment and floor protection from entry to work area
  • Plumbing reroutes including conversion of tub-shower combos to walk-in showers
  • Electrical service updates to current Chicago code with GFCI protection and dedicated circuits
  • Custom-tile shower and wet-room construction with proper waterproofing membrane
  • Heated floor tile installation with programmable thermostat
  • Custom or semi-custom vanities sized for the room and the home's style
  • Premium fixtures from Kohler, Brizo, Hansgrohe, Grohe, and Toto
  • Layered lighting design with recessed cans, vanity sconces, and decorative pendants
  • Anti-fog mirrors, recessed medicine cabinets, and quality hardware
  • Aging-in-place features including curbless showers, grab bars, and comfort-height fixtures

We pull every required permit through the Chicago Department of Buildings and handle all of the inspections — rough plumbing, rough electrical, framing, insulation, and final. We also handle the certificate-of-insurance requirements that condo buildings require, the freight elevator scheduling for high-rise work, and the contractor parking permits that street-level work in dense neighborhoods sometimes requires.

Pricing for a Chicago bathroom remodel varies widely. A clean refresh — new tile, fixtures, vanity, lighting, no plumbing changes — typically runs $20,000 to $35,000. A full gut renovation with custom tile, premium fixtures, and a walk-in shower or wet room runs $35,000 to $80,000. Primary suite renovations in larger homes with double vanities, freestanding tubs, and custom millwork can run $80,000 to $150,000+.

Every project starts with a free in-home consultation. We come out, measure the space, listen to your goals, and explain what is realistic for your budget and timeline. Within seven days you receive a written line-item estimate covering every part of the project. There are no surprise charges and no pressure — just an honest conversation about your bathroom and what it could be.

If you live in Chicago and you are thinking about a bathroom renovation, we would love to take a look. We have crews working in every part of the city and we would be glad to add your project to the schedule.
