Choose your city
Illinois winters can be harsh, but interior bathroom remodels continue year-round. In the Chicago area, older homes often have original plumbing that may need updating. This can affect the cost of your bathroom flooring project. We pay close attention to subfloor integrity and moisture barriers. Choosing the right flooring is essential for durability. Consider porcelain tile or luxury vinyl plank (LVP). These hold up well against moisture and foot traffic. We assess your home's specific needs.

Can I renovate a bathroom for $5000?
A $5000 budget usually allows for smaller bathroom updates. This might include new flooring, a vanity, and a fresh coat of paint. Major changes like moving plumbing or adding space will cost more. We can discuss options that fit your budget.
What is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel?
The most costly parts often involve plumbing and structural changes. Moving toilets, showers, or tubs costs more. Labor for these tasks is significant. High-quality tile and custom cabinetry also add to the price. We assess your project to provide accurate estimates.
What to avoid when renovating a bathroom?
Avoid skimping on waterproofing, as moisture damage can be costly. Poor ventilation can lead to mold and mildew. Using very cheap materials might save money upfront but cost more to replace later. Always budget for potential surprises in older Chicago homes.
What is a realistic budget for a bathroom renovation?
A realistic budget depends on your project goals. For a simple refresh, you might spend less. For a full gut and remodel, expect to invest more. Material choices and the scope of work are important. Get a free quote to understand your specific costs.
