Bathroom Remodeling Contractor in Palatine, Illinois

Palatine sits along the Union Pacific Northwest Metra line and grew fast through the 1970s and 80s, which means a big share of the housing stock is now 40 to 50 years old. Those ranch homes and split-levels on the north side near Deer Grove Forest Preserve, and the older colonials south of downtown near Twin Lakes Golf Club, were built with bathrooms that made sense in 1978. They don't always make sense now. We see a lot of tight single-vanity layouts, dated tile work, and original tub surrounds that are well past their life. The Chicago winters hit Palatine hard too. Freeze-thaw cycles work on grout lines and caulk seams every year, and by spring a lot of homeowners are dealing with water intrusion behind tile they didn't know was failing.

With a median household income of $97,819 and a median age of 40.7 across Palatine's 65,951 residents, this is a community full of established homeowners who have put down roots and want their homes to work better for them long-term. (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons.) That shows up in the projects we get called for here. People aren't flipping houses. They're updating a master bath they've looked at for 20 years, or converting a tub to a walk-in shower because their knees aren't what they used to be. We get that, and we price and plan our work accordingly.
