Bathroom Remodeling in Geneva & the Fox Valley
Custom tiled showers, tub-to-shower conversions and guest baths, waterproofed behind the tile.
A bathroom is the smallest room in the house and the easiest one to build wrong. Water finds every shortcut you take. Bathroom remodeling in Geneva and Elburn often means pulling out a fiberglass surround from decades ago and finding the framing behind it damp. We open it up, dry it out, repair what has gone soft, and waterproof the shower properly before a single tile goes on the wall.
Tub-to-shower conversions are the thing we are asked for most. The tub comes out, the drain moves to the center of the new pan, and we build a curbed or curbless base depending on the joist direction and the floor height we have to work with. Niches get framed where you will actually reach them. Bench, slope, pitch to the drain, and a membrane turned up the wall behind the tile.
Primary suites and guest baths get the same sequence with different finishes. Vanities set level and sealed to the wall. Exhaust fans ducted out through the roof or the rim joist instead of dumped into the attic. Heated floor mats where a client wants them. A wider door or a lower curb is often possible once we can see how the room was framed, which is a conversation worth having early.

Why Fox Valley homeowners trust us with a bathroom remodel
Waterproofing you cannot see
The membrane, the pan slope and the corners behind the tile are what make a shower last. That part is invisible on a finished job, which is exactly why we refuse to rush it.
Small room, tight sequence
A bath has every trade in it. We stack plumbing, electrical, tile and trim so the room is not sitting idle for days waiting on one person to show up.
Straight tile, clean grout
Layout gets snapped before anything is set, so the cuts land where they should and the grout lines run true into the corners and up the face of the niche.
Planning around one bathroom
If the house has a single bath, we say so at the estimate and sequence the work tight. Knowing in advance which stretch has no shower beats discovering it midway.

Questions
Bathroom Remodeling questions
Ask us anything that is not covered here — call, text or send the form.
Is a curbless shower possible in an older house?
Sometimes. It depends which way the joists run and how much floor height there is to work with. If the joists run the right direction we can often drop the pan down between them. If not, a low curb gets you most of the same look with none of the structural work.
Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, it is one of the jobs we do most. The tub comes out, the drain relocates to the center of the new pan, and the walls get opened so we can check the framing behind the old surround. Most tub alcoves have the room for a full walk-in with a bench at one end.
Do you move plumbing for a new bathroom layout?
Often, yes. Moving a toilet is the biggest lift, because the waste line and the vent both have to pitch correctly from the new location. Sinks and shower valves are easier. Over a basement or crawlspace there is usually room to work. We look under the room before promising anything.
