Palatine's 60067 zip covers a mix of established single-family neighborhoods and older ranch-style homes built through the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. A lot of those bathrooms haven't been touched since they were built. The tile is dated, the vanities are worn, and the layouts weren't designed with modern living in mind. Homeowners here tend to stay put for a long time, which means they invest in their homes. That's something we see on nearly every job we take in this zip.
The Chicago northwest suburban climate hits bathrooms hard. Winters here are cold and dry, and summers swing humid. That back-and-forth causes grout to crack, caulk to fail, and older flooring to shift over time. A lot of the calls we get from 60067 start with a small water issue that turns into a full bathroom gut. We've seen it enough times that we build our remodels to handle this climate from day one, with materials and installation methods that hold up through the freeze-thaw cycle year after year.
