Most people call me about a bathroom they have quietly hated for years. We gut those and rebuild them, all over the city and out to Evanston, Skokie, Berwyn, Cicero and Oak Lawn.
I like this trade. Tile that lands dead level, a drain that pulls a full tub down in seconds, a door that closes on the first try.
Picture the pink four by four from 1962, the tub with a rust stain under the spout, the fan that hums and moves nothing. Now picture a walk-in shower with a curbless entry, a niche sized to your actual shampoo bottle, and a vent that pulls the steam out before the mirror fogs.
One job last fall, the homeowner stood in the doorway and would not walk in for a minute. That happens more than you would think.
Smallest job we take is a vanity, faucet and light swap in a powder room. Largest is a full second-floor gut with new supply lines, waste rework, heated floors, custom glass and a linen closet built where the old chute used to be.
We are not the cheapest bid in your inbox, and the reason sits behind the tile. We set the pan properly, we pull the test before anything gets covered, and we do not tile over old drywall because it is faster. That one shortcut is what rots studs by year three.
Size, access, how old the plumbing stack is and what we find once the walls are open are the things that move your number.
