Bathroom Remodeling in Wheeling, IL
Wheeling is a village in the northwest suburbs, mostly in Cook County, with Milwaukee Avenue and the Des Plaines River on its east side. Heritage Park, run by the Wheeling Park District, sits on Wolf Road.
Many single-family homes here are ranches and split-levels from the 1950s and 1960s. Wheeling also has many condos and townhomes, built from the 1970s on, each with its own bathroom quirks.
This page is about bathroom remodeling in Wheeling. It covers tub-to-shower conversions, accessible and step-free showers, condo and townhome baths, vanities and basement bathrooms.
Tell us how you use your bathroom and what is not working. We will set up a free visit at your home at a time that suits you.
Bathroom Remodeling Across Wheeling
Different parts of Wheeling bring different bathroom projects.
Hollywood Ridge
A neighborhood of 1960s ranches. Many have one main bath with the first tub and tile, and owners often swap the tub for a walk-in shower.
Dunhurst
A subdivision of single-family homes. A second bath or a half bath often needs new fixtures, a vanity and a better fan.
Condos & Townhomes off Dundee Road
Many complexes, such as Lexington Commons, date from the 1970s and 1980s. We plan bath remodels around association rules, work hours and shared plumbing.
Milwaukee Avenue & the Des Plaines River
Homes near Restaurant Row and Potawatomi Woods. Basement bathrooms here call for a close look at drainage and the sump pump first.
Arlington Heights, to the Southwest
Just to the southwest, with many ranches and split-levels too.
Northbrook, to the East
East along Dundee Road past the river.
Remodeling Services in Wheeling
Everything we do for homes in Wheeling, from one room to the whole house.
Home Remodeling in Wheeling
One-floor ranches around Hollywood Ridge suit aging-in-place updates, from wider doorways to step-free entries. We also finish basements, open closed-off kitchens to the living room, and remodel condos and townhomes off Dundee Road within the association's rules.
Our home remodeling services →Bathroom Remodeling in Wheeling
We cover the full range of Wheeling bathrooms, from a quick vanity and toilet swap in a townhome powder room to a gutted primary bath with a new glass shower and tile floor.
Our bathroom remodeling services →Kitchen Remodeling in Wheeling
Condo kitchens in Wheeling can be narrow galley layouts, while ranch kitchens often feel closed off from the dining room. We install new cabinets or reface the old ones, add countertops and backsplash, and fit an island or peninsula where the space allows.
Our kitchen remodeling services →General Contracting in Wheeling
In some Wheeling ranches and split-levels the wall between the kitchen and living room carries weight, so we size a beam and file the Village of Wheeling permit before it comes out. We also build decks, patios and porches, and plan home additions.
Our general contracting services →Flooring in Wheeling
Some Wheeling condo associations require a sound underlayment under hard floors, so we check the rules before laying LVP or engineered wood. In houses we refinish or install hardwood, tile kitchens and baths, and put moisture-ready flooring in basements near the Des Plaines River.

Wheeling homeowners most often ask us for:
- Tub-to-shower conversions with a low curb or no curb
- Full remodels of the one main bath in a ranch
- Condo and townhome baths with new tile, vanity and glass
- New bathrooms in finished basements

Bathroom Plans for Wheeling Home Styles
- Ranches: one main bath off the hall. A shower you can walk into makes it easier to stay in the house for years.
- Split-levels: a bath on the upper level and room for another on the lower level.
- Condos: small baths with shared walls and drains, so tile, fans and water shut-offs are planned with the building in mind.
- Townhomes: a powder room downstairs and baths upstairs. Owners often update all of them together.
Step-Free and Accessible Bathrooms
Many Wheeling homes are one-floor ranches, a good fit for a bath that works at any age. When we plan an accessible bathroom, we:
- Replace the tub with a low-curb or curbless shower and a slip-resistant floor
- Add solid wood blocking in the walls so grab bars can go where you need them
- Put in a handheld shower, a bench and controls you can reach while seated
- Widen the doorway and leave clear floor space where the layout allows
Permits and Scheduling in Wheeling
- Most bathroom remodels need a building permit from the Village of Wheeling.
- We prepare the drawings, file with the village and book the inspections.
- For condos and townhomes, we get the association’s approval and rules in writing before we start.
- You get a written schedule, and we keep the work area closed off and clean.
