Find out whether your Frankfort bathroom needs a refresh or a full gut before you spend money on either. We write both options up and do whichever you choose with one crew.
Not every bathroom needs to come down to the studs. If the shower is sound and the layout works, a refresh can cover a new vanity and top, a toilet, faucets, a tile or plank floor, lighting, a vented fan and paint. If the shower is leaking, the subfloor is soft or you want a different layout, a full remodel takes the room apart and rebuilds it, with a continuous waterproofing membrane in the shower that is sloped and water tested before tile. We tell you which one your bathroom calls for and write it up so you can compare.
We cover Frankfort in Will County on Route 30, Route 45, LaGrange Road and I-80, along with the streets near the Old Plank Road Trail. During the estimate we check the things that decide refresh versus gut: whether the tile sounds hollow, whether the floor gives near the tub or toilet, where the fan vents and whether the shower valve can take a new trim kit. Where a Frankfort bathroom only needs a refresh, we leave the shower alone and say so. If it needs more, you see why in photos and in writing before you commit to anything.
A new vanity, top, faucet, toilet, mirror, lighting and paint, with the shower left as is when it is sound.
The old flooring comes up, the subfloor is checked, and tile or plank goes down with new base.
The room is taken to the studs, the plumbing and wiring are updated, and the layout changes if you want it to.
A continuous membrane goes over the walls and pan, sloped to the drain and water tested before tile.
An exhaust fan is ducted outside in either scope, replacing any fan that vents into the attic.
Protected receptacles and new vanity lighting are wired by our crew in the same job.
The estimate is free, and when it makes sense we write the refresh and the full remodel side by side so you can compare scope and schedule. After you choose, we order materials and set a start date once they are here. If something behind a wall changes the picture partway in, we stop, price it in writing and get your approval first. At the end we go through the room with you item by item against the written scope.
Call or text (815) 585-1750 and we will come look at the shower, the floor and the fan. If a refresh covers it, that is what we will write up.
