Bloomingdale sits in DuPage County with a population of 22,622 and a median household income of $102,928 (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons). That income level tells us something about what homeowners here expect: quality materials, clean work, and a contractor who shows up when they say they will. These aren't starter homes getting a quick flip. They're well-kept houses where the owners actually care about the finish work. We get that, and we price and perform accordingly.
The climate here is hard on bathrooms. Northwest suburban Chicago winters push moisture into grout lines, warp cabinet bases, and crack caulk around tubs. Bloomingdale's older neighborhoods near Medinah Road and the areas off Army Trail Road have homes that were built in the 1970s and 1980s. A lot of those original bathrooms are overdue. Tile that was popular in 1985 doesn't hold up forever, and neither does the waterproofing behind it. We've seen what happens when those bathrooms go too long without attention, and it's always more expensive to fix the damage than it would have been to remodel first.
