About Our Bathroom Reno Service
A bathroom is one of the most used rooms in your home, yet it is often the last to be updated. If you are still living with builder-grade tile, a worn fiberglass tub surround, or a vanity that lacks storage, a professional bathroom renovation can dramatically improve your daily routine and add measurable resale value. In Chicagoland's competitive real estate market, an updated master bath is consistently listed among the top three features buyers look for.

Honest Disclosure
What Can Go Wrong — and How We Prevent It
The honest answer most North Shore contractors won't tell you up front: bathroom renovation projects in Glencoe's 1910s-2020s prairie housing stock have predictable failure modes. Here's what we look for during the on-site walkthrough and how we handle each one with transparent change-order pricing if it appears.
02
Cast iron drain stack corrosion
Universal concern in pre-1960 Glencoe Prairie homes. We inspect the visible stack at demo. Full stack replacement runs $1,800-$4,500 and is best done while the wall is open anyway.
03
Vent stack improperly tied or absent
Roughly 1 in 6 North Shore bathrooms we open have plumbing vent code violations from prior amateur work. We re-vent to current code as part of any plumbing rough.
04
Wrong waterproofing under existing tile shower
Many pre-2010 showers used hot-mop or paper liner that's now failed. We always remove and rebuild with Schluter Kerdi or RedGard system — even if "just replacing tile."
05
Glencoe-specific permit timing
Glencoe typical permit issuance: 7-14 business days. We submit same-day upon contract signing.
06
Glencoe HOA approval (if applicable)
Most North Shore Tier-1 properties don't have HOAs, but condo boards in multi-unit buildings serve a similar function.

Brizo Levoir or Litze with rain head, hand-held, and body sprays
Multi-function spa-style showers are standard expectation in Tier-1 primary baths.
Category 03
Toilet
Recommended brands (Tier 1 (Premium))
Toto Drake or Aquia (comfort-height), Kohler Memoirs or Highline, or American Standard Champion
Comfort-height (17-19" seat) is now expected across all tiers. Toto Drake leads in flush performance.

After the Project
Care & Maintenance for Your New Bathroom Reno
We don't disappear at final walkthrough. Here's the maintenance schedule we recommend for the first 5 years — including the items we return for free under our 1-year workmanship warranty.
- 1
Week 1
Verify all valves, drains, and seals after first 72 hours of normal use. Adjust trim if any settles.
- 2
Month 1
Grout seal application (we apply at project completion; first re-seal at 12 months recommended).
- 3
Month 3
Exhaust fan check — ducting can develop condensation in Chicagoland winter. We adjust insulation around duct run if needed.
- 4
Year 1
Free warranty walkthrough. Re-grout any micro-cracks (common at floor-to-wall transitions).
- 5
Year 2-3
Re-seal grout (DIY or our paid maintenance visit). Replace shower silicone caulk if discolored.
- 6
Year 5
Re-caulk shower at floor-to-wall and door-to-floor seams. Check that drain still flows quickly.

What North Shore Homeowners Say About Our Bathroom Reno

“Our master bathroom went from cramped and dated to a spa-like retreat. Walk-in shower with frameless glass, heated floors, double vanity — everything we wanted. CrestLine's attention to detail on the tile work was incredible.”

“Had a hall bathroom gutted and redone. New tub, vanity, flooring, the works. They finished in about two weeks which was faster than I expected. Really professional crew.”
Tom R.Northbrook

“CrestLine installed engineered hardwood throughout our main floor — about 1,200 sq ft. The transitions between rooms are seamless and the stain matches our existing staircase. They moved all the furniture and put it back. First class.”
