What affects pricing

We do not publish flat prices, because the honest answer depends on the property. These are the factors that move the number on this type of work:

  • Bathroom size and whether it is a full or half bath
  • Tub-to-shower conversion or fixture relocation
  • Tile area, tile size and pattern complexity
  • Hidden damage found during demolition
  • Fixture and vanity selection level
  • Building access and floor level in condos and multi-unit buildings

Frequently asked questions

Can you convert a tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. It involves the drain position, waterproofing and often the valve, so it is scoped as a wet-area rebuild rather than a surface swap.
What if there is hidden damage behind the tile?
It happens often in older Chicagoland housing stock. We stop, photograph it, show you what we found and price the additional work before continuing — no silent add-ons.
How long is the bathroom out of service?
A full gut keeps the room out of use for the duration of the work, including tile and grout cure time. We give the schedule with the estimate.
Do you do accessibility upgrades?
Yes — curbless entries, grab-bar blocking, comfort-height fixtures and wider clearances can be built into the scope.
