Forest Glen sits in the northwest Chicago area near Edgebrook and Sauganash, bordered by forest preserves and quiet tree-lined streets. The housing stock leans toward mid-century brick homes and solid bungalows, the kind of construction that holds up well but often has bathrooms that haven't been touched since the original build. Older tile, cramped layouts, and fixtures that belong in a different decade are common.
That's exactly the work we do. Chicago winters are hard on bathrooms. Freeze-thaw cycles cause grout to crack, caulk to lift, and moisture to work its way into places it shouldn't be. Forest Glen homes that sit close to the North Branch of the Chicago River corridor can see extra humidity issues in basements and lower-level baths.
We factor all of that in before we touch a single tile.
