Kitchen Remodeling, Bathroom Remodeling and Walk-In Showers in Western Springs
Western Springs is known for its historic water tower, a downtown on the BNSF line, and tree-lined streets of older homes. Western Springs homes are often older colonials and Tudors with small kitchens and original baths.
Kitchens in Western Springs
In Western Springs, kitchen remodels usually find space by removing a wall, relocating a back door or folding in a breakfast room. Our kitchen remodeling service in Western Springs covers the full job, including new cabinets and stone countertops.
Bathrooms in Western Springs
Western Springs bathrooms are often small and original, making a full gut and rebuild the most common project. See our bathroom remodeling page for Western Springs, or read about tub-to-shower conversions and walk-in showers.
Suburban remodels in Western Springs usually give us room to work — driveway space for deliveries and a garage or side yard for staging — which keeps the house cleaner and the schedule tighter.
We also work in nearby Hinsdale, La Grange, Clarendon Hills and Burr Ridge.
Remodeling homes in DuPage County and the west suburbs
Homes in DuPage County and the nearby west suburbs span more than a century of building. Near the historic downtowns of towns like Hinsdale, Glen Ellyn, Elmhurst, Wheaton, Western Springs and La Grange, many houses were built before 1940, with plaster walls, older wiring and kitchens at the back of the house. Postwar neighborhoods in Downers Grove, Darien and Clarendon Hills are full of ranches and split-levels. And much of Naperville, Oak Brook and Burr Ridge was built between the 1970s and the 2000s, with larger rooms and builder-grade finishes now ready for an update.
Each era brings its own remodeling questions. Older homes need careful work around plaster, trim and old plumbing. Mid-century homes often have walls between the kitchen and living areas that owners want gone. Newer homes usually have a good layout and finishes that simply look dated. We plan for whichever one you have.
Planning a kitchen remodel in Western Springs: countertops
Quartz is the most requested counter surface right now because it is consistent, low-maintenance and does not need sealing. Granite and quartzite are natural stones with more variation from slab to slab; quartzite in particular is hard and heat-resistant but should be sealed. Marble is beautiful and etches easily, so it suits owners who like a surface that shows its age. Solid-surface and laminate still have a place on a tighter budget.
Edge profile, sink mount (undermount is standard with stone), backsplash height and seam placement all get decided before fabrication. On an island, overhang depth decides whether stools are actually comfortable.
Planning a bathroom remodel in Western Springs: bathrooms for every stage of life
A growing number of owners remodel with the long term in mind. A walk-in shower with a low or no curb, a bench, a handheld sprayer, blocking in the walls for grab bars, a comfort-height toilet and good lighting make a bathroom easier to use for years without looking clinical.
For families with kids, the priorities are different: durable tile, a tub for bath time, easy-clean surfaces and storage that keeps the counter clear. Hall baths used by guests and kids often benefit from a double vanity if the wall is long enough.
Why Western Springs homeowners call us
- One plan for the whole room. Layout, cabinets, counters, tile, fixtures and lighting are planned together, not left to separate trades.
- Built from the inside out. Waterproofing, level cabinets, venting and wiring get the same attention as the finishes.
- Clear written scope. You see what is included, and what is not, before work starts.
- Hidden damage shown to you. If we find rot or water damage behind a wall, you see it before it is repaired.
