Honest Disclosure
What Can Go Wrong — and How We Prevent It
The honest answer most Northwest Suburbs contractors won't tell you up front: bathroom renovation projects in Mount Prospect's 1950s-2000s ranch 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
Less concerning in newer 1950s-2000s construction but we still inspect at rough-in.
03
Vent stack improperly tied or absent
Roughly 1 in 6 Northwest Suburbs 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
Mount Prospect-specific permit timing
Mount Prospect typical permit issuance: 7-14 business days. We submit same-day upon contract signing.
06
Mount Prospect HOA approval (if applicable)
Many NW Suburbs subdivisions have HOAs requiring approval BEFORE municipal permit. Mount Prospect typical HOA cycle: 2-4 weeks. We coordinate paperwork as part of our service.

- 2
Month 1
Grout seal application (we apply at project completion; first re-seal at 12 months recommended).

Month 3

- 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.

“Water damage from a roof leak left a big section of our ceiling wrecked. They cut out the damaged drywall, replaced it, mudded, sanded, and painted. Looks like nothing ever happened. Really impressed.”
