Mount Prospect sits in the northwest suburbs of Chicago, and with a population of 55,460 and a median household income of $101,720, this is a community where homeowners invest seriously in their properties (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons). A lot of the housing stock here dates back to the 1950s through 1970s. Those homes have good bones, but bathrooms that are long overdue for an update. We see it constantly. Original tile, cramped layouts, vanities that have seen better decades. Our crew has walked through hundreds of these homes and knows exactly what to expect behind the walls.
The Chicago area climate puts real stress on bathrooms. Freeze-thaw cycles crack grout and loosen tile. Humid summers push moisture into subfloors. Winters push cold through exterior walls that border bathroom spaces. In Mount Prospect specifically, homes near Melas Park and along the older subdivisions off Central Road tend to have dated plumbing setups that need attention during a remodel. We factor all of that in before we swing a single hammer.
