Few Chicago neighborhoods have the architectural variety of Lincoln Park. Tree-lined blocks of historic greystones sit next to vintage three-flats, post-war brick walk-ups, and brand-new luxury single-family homes. Each style brings its own bathroom challenges, and our crews have worked on every one of them — from a 1908 greystone on Belden to a 2018 new construction on Larrabee.
Most Lincoln Park bathrooms we work on fall into one of three categories. The first is the original vintage bathroom in a greystone or three-flat — small footprint, cast-iron tub, original hex floor tile, single-pane window over the toilet. These rooms have history but rarely match how families actually live today. The second is the 1990s "developer special" remodel in a post-war condo or two-flat — beige tile, builder-grade vanity, cheap fixtures. The third is the primary bathroom in a newer single-family home that needs an upgrade after ten years of family use.
We tailor every project to the home. In a vintage greystone we work to preserve original architectural details where possible — restoring plaster walls, reusing original window casings, and matching tile patterns to the era. In a newer build we focus on creating a true spa space with curbless showers, freestanding tubs, and double vanities. In every case the work is done to current Chicago code with permits pulled through the Department of Buildings.
What our Lincoln Park bathroom remodels typically include:
We pull every required permit through the City of Chicago and schedule the inspections so you don't have to. Most full Lincoln Park bathroom renovations take four to six weeks once materials arrive. Smaller refreshes — new tile, new fixtures, new vanity, no plumbing changes — can be done in two to three weeks.
Pricing for a Lincoln Park bathroom remodel typically ranges from $25,000 to $60,000 depending on size, fixture grade, and tile selection. A primary suite renovation in a larger home with custom millwork and premium finishes can run $80,000 to $150,000. Every estimate is line-item written with material allowances and a real timeline you can plan around.
If you live in Lincoln Park and you are thinking about a bathroom renovation, we would love to come take a look. There is no pressure and no sales pitch — just an honest conversation about your space, your timeline, and what is realistic for your budget.
Recently Completed
We recently completed a full bathroom renovation in a 1920s Lincoln Park brownstone on Belden Avenue. The homeowners — a couple with two young kids — wanted to keep the historic character of the home but rip out a cramped, leaky bathroom that hadn't been touched since the 1980s.
Our crew gutted the space down to the studs, repaired water-damaged subfloor, and rerouted the original cast-iron drain to make room for a new walk-in shower. We installed a custom 36-inch double vanity in white oak with quartz counters, a rainfall shower with frameless glass, heated marble floor tile, and period-appropriate brass fixtures. The whole project ran four and a half weeks from demo to final walk-through.
The clients are using the bathroom every day now and just sent us a thank-you note saying it feels like a brand new home.
