What a bathroom remodel with ADS covers
A full remodel takes the room down to the studs and rebuilds the plumbing, wiring, waterproofing, tile, shower or tub, vanity, toilet, floor, lighting and ventilation. Smaller jobs, like swapping a tub for a walk-in shower or retiling an old shower, follow the same steps on a smaller scale.
The people doing the work
The estimate visit is with Brian, the owner. After that it is our own crew, the same faces every day, from demolition to the last fixture. Tile and plumbing are not handed off to another company halfway through.
How the job runs
Protection and demo. Floors are covered from the entry to the bathroom, the room is closed off with plastic, and the old finishes come out.
What is behind the walls. Older bathrooms often hide something, like a soft subfloor around the toilet, corroded supply lines or a fan that vents into the attic. If we find a problem, we photograph it, tell you what it costs to fix, and wait for your written approval.
Rough-in and inspection. Plumbing and wiring are moved or replaced, then inspected before the walls close. We pull the permit and meet the inspector, so you do not have to.
Waterproofing. Every wet wall and the shower floor get a waterproofing membrane, and the shower is water-tested before tile. You will never see this layer, and it decides whether the bathroom lasts.
Tile, fixtures, finish. Tile is set by hand, then the vanity, glass, toilet, lighting and paint, and a final walkthrough with you.
Timeline and cost
Most bathrooms take 3 to 5 weeks and cost $18,000 to $45,000. If this is your only full bathroom, say so at the visit. We order the work so you are without a shower for as short a stretch as possible.
The price moves most with relocating the toilet, drain or vanity, turning a tub into a walk-in or curbless shower, which tile you choose and how much wall it covers, glass enclosures, heated floors, and anything that turns up behind the walls.
What the estimate and warranty mean
The written estimate is itemized, with the scope, the materials and a fixed price before work starts. Nothing is added without your written approval.
The 2-year workmanship warranty is in writing too. If something we built fails in that time, like a leak at a connection we made or tile coming loose, we come back and fix it at no charge.
Before we start
Empty the vanity, medicine cabinet and nearby storage, and clear a path to the bathroom. If you are buying your own tile or fixtures, order early, because one late special-order item can push the start date.
Bathrooms we have built
Modern Gray Master Bathroom, Chicago. This one came to us after another contractor’s tile work and inadequate waterproofing let water in behind the shower. We took it back to the studs, waterproofed every wet area and rebuilt it with a frameless walk-in shower, a tiled bench and a floating double vanity.
Modern Bathroom Transformation, Glen Ellyn. The old tub came out for a walk-in shower with a bench, plus a double vanity, a large-format porcelain floor, recessed lighting and upgraded ventilation.

Have a different question? Ask during your free estimate →-
How much does a typical kitchen or bathroom remodel cost?
Bathroom remodels in our area typically run $18,000–$45,000. Mid-range kitchens are usually $35,000–$80,000 - full custom kitchens can reach $120,000+. We give you a detailed estimate in writing after the in-home visit, so you see the numbers line by line before signing anything.
-
How long will my project take?
A bathroom is usually 3–5 weeks from demo to final walkthrough. A standard kitchen runs 6–8 weeks. Basement finishes are 5–8 weeks. We give you a written schedule before we start - and one project lead coordinates every trade, so the schedule doesn't stall between steps.
-
Do you handle the permits and inspections?
Yes - every time. We pull the permits, schedule the inspections, and meet with the inspectors. You don't deal with the village. We handle Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Lombard, Glen Ellyn, Wheaton, and the rest of our service area.
-
Can we live in the house during the remodel?
Almost always, yes. We seal off the work zone with plastic, set up a temporary kitchen if we're remodeling yours, vacuum daily, and do a deep clean at the end. Most clients stay in the home for the full project - we plan the sequence around your daily life.
-
How do payments work?
A small deposit at signing, then progress payments tied to milestones (rough-in complete, drywall complete, final walkthrough). You never pre-pay for work that hasn't started. Final payment is only released after you sign off on the final walkthrough - not before.
