Bathroom Remodeling in Itasca, IL

Itasca bathrooms built for getting in and out safely

Climbing over a tub wall gets harder for most people at some point, and a remodel is the time to plan for it. We can take out the tub and build a walk-in shower with a low curb, add wood blocking in the walls so grab bars anchor where you need them, and set a taller toilet. The shower still gets a sloped pan and a continuous membrane we test before tile, because a safer shower still has to stay dry. Our crew does the plumbing, wiring, tile and finish work on one estimate.

Itasca is on our regular route, off I-290 and Route 53, with Irving Park Road and Thorndale Avenue running through the village. It is in DuPage County, with a Metra station close to its downtown. If the bathroom door is too narrow for a walker or a wheelchair, widening it is often part of the plan. When that door sits in a bearing wall, it needs a new header, so we check which wall it is before we price it.

What goes into an Itasca bathroom remodel

Tub out, walk-in shower in

We remove the tub and build a shower with a low curb or a single step-in, sloped to the drain.

Blocking for grab bars

Solid wood goes between the studs before the walls close, so grab bars can be anchored by the toilet, in the shower and at the entry.

Taller toilet

A comfort-height toilet is set on a new flange and checked so it sits solid with no rocking.

Floor tile with grip

We help you pick floor tile with traction, and mosaic tile in the shower pan for more grout lines underfoot.

Wider doorway where it fits

If the door is too narrow for a walker, we check the wall and price widening it, with a new header if the wall carries load.

Lighting you can see by

Brighter fixtures at the vanity and in the shower, GFCI-protected outlets and switches placed where you reach for them.

How we plan and build an Itasca bathroom

We start at the house, at no cost, with a look at how you or a relative moves through the room now. The written estimate lists the shower, the blocking locations, the fixtures and the finishes, so everyone involved can see the plan. If the old floor or walls hide damage, we price the repair in writing and get your approval before we do it. We book the work around the days we said, and the grab bars get a hard pull before we call the room done.

FAQ

Bathroom Remodeling in Itasca: questions

Can you put in grab bars that actually hold?

Yes. During the remodel we add solid blocking in the walls where the bars will go, so they anchor into wood instead of drywall.

Can a tub be converted to a walk-in shower in Itasca?

Yes. We remove the tub, rework the drain, build a sloped pan with a low curb and test the waterproofing before tile. A permit is pulled where Itasca requires one for the plumbing work.

How long does an Itasca bathroom remodel take?

A full bath usually takes two to three weeks once materials are in, and a half bath is often about a week. If this is the only shower in the house, tell us and we will plan the days around it.

Do you carry insurance?

We carry liability insurance and will give you the certificate before work starts. Call or text (815) 585-1750 if you want it sent ahead of the estimate.

Which towns around Itasca do you serve?

We remodel bathrooms in Roselle, Wood Dale and Addison as well.
