Bathroom Remodeling in Carol Stream, IL
Carol Stream is a village in DuPage County, incorporated in 1959. The Town Center on Lies Road, with its lawn and performing arts pavilion, is the heart of the village.
The village grew fast in the 1960s and 1970s, and many homes are ranches, bi-levels and split-levels from those years. Their bathrooms often still have the first tub, a small vanity and a weak fan.
This page is about bathroom remodeling in Carol Stream. It covers tub-to-shower conversions, walk-in showers, hall baths, powder rooms, condo baths and basement bathrooms.

Bathroom Remodeling Across Carol Stream
Bathrooms vary from one part of Carol Stream to the next. Here is what we tend to plan.
Lies Road & Kuhn Road
Some of the original developments of the village. Bi-levels and split-levels here often have a small upper bath where a tub can give way to a walk-in shower.
Gary Avenue & North Avenue
Another older part of town. A main bath and a second bath from the same era often both need new fixtures, tile and a fan that vents outside.
Newport Village
A subdivision built in the 1970s and early 1980s. Two-story homes here often have a hall bath and a primary bath that owners update together.
Carolshire & Elk Trail Condos
Condo buildings west of Gary Avenue. We plan bath work around association rules, shared drains and set work hours.
Armstrong Park Area
Homes near the park often have a finished lower level. It can hold a new bath, and we look at drain height and the sump pump first. For the rest of the house, see home remodeling in Wheaton.
Glendale Heights, to the South
Right next door, with many homes from the same period.

Bathroom Plans for Carol Stream Home Styles
- Ranches: bedrooms and bath on one floor. A low-curb shower and a wider door keep the bath easy to use.
- Bi-levels: the main bath sits half a flight up. We check the floor framing and where the drain runs before moving anything.
- Split-levels: the upper bath is often small. A wall-hung vanity, a glass door and good storage open it up.
- Condos: compact baths with shared walls. Tile, waterproofing and shut-offs are planned with the building in mind.
What We Check in a 1960s to 1980s Bathroom
Bathrooms from those decades hide problems behind the tile. When the walls and floor are open, we:
- Look at the supply lines and replace worn or corroded ones
- Check the drain and the shower base for slow leaks
- Repair soft subfloor around the toilet and tub
- Run a quiet, properly sized fan to the outside, not into the attic

Carol Stream Bathroom Remodeling FAQ

Often, yes. If the new drains sit below the main sewer line, the plan may need an ejector pump. We check the drain height at the visit.
