A Local Bathroom Remodeler for Belmont Cragin
Belmont Cragin is on Chicago’s Northwest Side, just southeast of where our team is based. Riis Park, with its pond and walking paths along Fullerton Avenue, sits right in the middle of it.
Most homes here are brick bungalows and two-flats built between the 1920s and the 1950s. Many still have the first bathroom they were built with: small, tiled in pink or green, with old pipes behind the walls.

Bathroom Remodeling Around Riis Park
Belmont Cragin is a big neighborhood. Here is what we see most in each part of it.
Riis Park & Fullerton Avenue
Brick bungalows face the park on quiet side streets. The one main-floor bath is often the first room owners want to redo.
Near Steinmetz College Prep
Family blocks around the school. Busy homes here need a bathroom that is easy to clean and holds up to daily use.
The Brickyard & Diversey Avenue
Two-flats and newer homes near the shopping center. We often remodel the baths in both units, one after the other.
Belmont & Central Avenue
Older homes near the Belmont business strip. Walk-in showers replace old tubs that are hard to step into.
Hanson Park
South of Fullerton, near the stadium. Many owners add a basement bath here.
Montclare, to the West
Just past Narragansett Avenue, with the same bungalows and Georgians.

Home Remodeling in Belmont Cragin
Around Riis Park, many Belmont Cragin bungalows built between the 1920s and the 1950s still have closed-off rooms and unused basements. We open up main floors, finish basements and plan aging-in-place changes like wider doors and step-free showers, all under a City of Chicago permit.
Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Belmont Cragin
Many Belmont Cragin bungalows near Riis Park still have their first bathroom, tiled in pink or green with old pipes behind the walls. We replace the pipes while the walls are open, then build walk-in showers, new tile and vanities that make a small main-floor bath work harder.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Belmont Cragin
Busy family homes near Steinmetz College Prep need a kitchen that is easy to clean and holds up to daily use. We install new cabinets and counters, add a peninsula with seating where the room allows, and finish with a backsplash that wipes down quickly.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Belmont Cragin
Two-flats and bungalows around Riis Park often need more than one trade, from a wall that has to come out to a worn back porch or deck. We check load-bearing walls, plan the beam, file the City of Chicago permit and book the inspections.
Our general contracting services →Flooring in Belmont Cragin
Older bungalows on the side streets off Fullerton Avenue may still have original wood floors, while many basements sit on bare concrete. We refinish or replace hardwood, lay tile in baths and kitchens and put water-resistant LVP in basements, keeping transitions flat between rooms.
Our flooring services →Bathroom Projects We Build in Belmont Cragin

See more on our bathroom remodeling page.
Plans That Fit Bungalows and Two-Flats
- Bungalows: one bath on the main floor. A smart layout makes a small room feel bigger.
- Two-flats: stacked baths share pipes. We plan the work so the other unit keeps its water.
- Raised ranches: good space for a step-free shower on the main level.
- Attic bedrooms: sloped ceilings need careful shower and vent placement.
Old Pipes Behind Old Tile
In homes this age, the real work is often behind the walls. Before new tile goes up, we:
- Check drains and supply lines for rust and leaks
- Replace old pipes while the walls are open
- Add a vent fan that moves air outside
- Level the floor so new tile stays flat
Permits and Scheduling in Chicago
- Most remodels that move plumbing, wiring or walls need a City of Chicago building permit.
- We prepare the plans, file the permit and book the inspections.
- Two-flat owners: we plan work hours and water shut-offs so the other unit is not surprised.
- We plan street or alley space for the dumpster and deliveries before work starts.
