Bathroom Remodeling in Darien, IL

Darien bathroom remodels

A bathroom remodel is plumbing, electrical, carpentry, waterproofing and tile in one room, and we run all of it with one crew. We tear out to sound framing, make the plumbing and wiring changes, build the shower, set the vanity and toilet, vent the fan outside and finish the walls. The plan and price are written before we start. Once the walls are open, anything we did not expect is written up with a price, and nothing happens until you approve it.

We get to Darien on I-55 and Route 83 and work from 75th Street and Cass Avenue into the neighborhoods on either side. If your Darien bathroom still has its original shower, the thing to watch for is tile set straight onto drywall with no membrane behind it. Grout lets water through a little at a time, and the board behind it softens long before the tile looks bad. We open those walls carefully, show you what we find, and rebuild the shower with a continuous membrane that gets tested before any tile goes back up.

What a Darien bathroom remodel covers

Careful demo

We protect the floors and the rest of the house, then take the room down to sound studs and subfloor.

Framing and subfloor repair

Soft subfloor or water-damaged studs get replaced, priced in writing first, so the new tile sits on a solid base.

Waterproof shower build

A continuous membrane covers the floor and walls, pitched to the drain and flood-tested before tile.

Tile and grout

Floor and wall tile is set flat and in line, with movement joints at the corners and changes of plane.

Toilet, vanity and fixtures

A new toilet, vanity, top, sink and faucet go in with new shutoffs and supply lines.

Vented fan and GFCI

The fan is ducted outdoors, and the outlets get GFCI protection, wired to code.

What happens after you call

We come out for a free estimate and look at the shower, the floor and the ceiling below if there is one. You get a written scope and price for the whole room, and we tell you which materials you are choosing and when we need them. We book the start once those materials are here. Because old showers hide things, we explain up front how a change works: we stop, show you, write the price, and wait for your answer. The job ends with a walkthrough and a clean room.

Do you remodel bathrooms in towns next to Darien?

Yes. Westmont, Woodridge, Willowbrook and Burr Ridge are on the same route.
