Libertyville sits along the Des Plaines River, with a walkable downtown on Milwaukee Avenue and older residential neighborhoods spreading out in every direction. The housing stock is a real mix: brick colonials from the 1950s and 60s near the historic core, plus larger builds from the 80s and 90s farther out toward the subdivision edges. Older homes especially tend to have bathrooms that haven't been touched in decades, and that's exactly where we do our best work. The median household income in 60048 is $165,667, which tells you homeowners here invest in their properties rather than patch things together (Data source: U.S. Census Bureau / Data Commons). With a median age of 42.1, a good portion of the 20,643 residents are at the stage of life where a bathroom remodel isn't just about looks, it's about making the home work better for the next 20 years.
Lake County winters hit 60048 hard. Freeze-thaw cycles through January and February do real damage to tile grout, caulk lines, and subfloor edges in bathrooms that back against exterior walls. By the time spring arrives, a lot of homeowners are looking at cracked floors or soft spots around the tub surround. We know what northern Illinois winters do to a bathroom, and we build our work to hold up through it.
