Willow Springs, Cook County

Bathroom Remodeling in Willow Springs

Get a Willow Springs bathroom that stays dry behind the tile and clears the steam after a shower, built by one crew from the drain to the paint.

Willow Springs bathroom remodeling built to stay dry

Water is the whole story in a bathroom, so that is where we start. Every shower we build has a continuous waterproofing membrane on the walls and floor, a floor sloped to the drain, and a water test before tile goes on. The same crew handles the demo, the plumbing and wiring changes, the vanity, toilet and lighting, and the drywall and paint. You get one written estimate for the whole room and one person to answer for it.

We cover Willow Springs, coming in on I-294, Archer Avenue and Willow Springs Road, along the Des Plaines River and the forest preserves beside it. It is a Cook County village next to Burr Ridge and Palos Park. If your house steps down a slope and has a bath on the lower level, that room tends to run cooler and damper than the rest of the house. In a room like that, the fan matters as much as the tile: we size it for the room, duct it to the outside, and put it on a timer so it keeps running after you leave. Behind the shower walls we use board made for wet areas, not standard drywall.

Bathroom Remodeling by ONIT Solutions

What goes into a Willow Springs bathroom remodel

Wet area wall board

Cement board or a foam board system behind the tile, with the membrane over it, in place of plain drywall.

Tested shower

A pre-sloped floor, a continuous membrane and a water test before tile, so the shower is proven dry before it is finished.

Timer fan to the outside

A fan sized for the room, ducted through the wall or roof, and wired to a timer so steam clears after you leave.

Fixtures

A new tub or shower valve, vanity, sink, faucet and toilet, set and connected by our crew.

Lighting and GFCI

Vanity lighting, a light in the shower where it fits, and GFCI protection on the outlets as code requires.

Paint for a damp room

Primer and a bathroom-rated paint on the walls and ceiling, so the finish holds up to steam.

What to expect, step by step

We visit, measure, and check the room for signs of old moisture: a soft floor near the toilet, peeling ceiling paint, a stained subfloor seen from below. You get a written estimate that covers every trade. If demo shows damage we could not see, you get a price on paper and decide before we go further. Work begins when your materials are in, and we finish with a walkthrough of every fixture and a clean room.

  • Moisture check on the first visit
  • Board made for wet areas behind tile
  • Shower water tested before tile
  • Fan on a timer, ducted outside
  • Your written approval for any change
  • Clean room and a final walkthrough
FAQ

Bathroom Remodeling in Willow Springs: questions

Our lower-level bathroom always feels damp. Can a remodel help?
It can do a lot. A properly sized fan ducted outside on a timer, wet-area board and a membrane behind the shower make a real difference. If the damp is coming through the foundation, we will tell you, since that is a separate problem to solve first.
Does a remodel need a permit in Willow Springs?
When drains move or wiring changes, we pull the permit the village requires and schedule the inspections.
How long does it take?
A half bath is often about a week. A full bath usually runs two to three weeks once materials are in.
What other towns do you cover around Willow Springs?
We remodel bathrooms in Burr Ridge, Western Springs, Lemont and Palos Park too.
