Bathroom Remodeling in Montclare

General Contracting in Montclare

Flooring in Montclare

Montclare's Georgians and raised ranches mix upstairs bedrooms, main-floor baths and basements, and each needs a different floor. We refinish or install hardwood upstairs, set tile in baths and kitchens and use LVP in basements, with level transitions between rooms.

Plans That Fit Montclare Home Styles

  • Bungalows: one small bath on the main floor. We plan storage and light so it feels bigger.
  • Georgians: baths upstairs. We check the floor framing before heavy tile or a tub goes in.
  • Raised ranches: easy access and room for a step-free shower.
  • Basements: many homes can add a second bath downstairs.

What We Check Before New Tile Goes In

Older Montclare homes often hide problems behind the tile. We:

  • Open the walls and check the pipes
  • Fix soft or uneven floors
  • Waterproof the shower before tiling
  • Add a quiet vent fan that vents outside

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.
