Bathroom Remodeling in Beverly: Primary Baths, Shower Remodeling, Tub-to-Shower Conversion, Vanity
Beverly on Chicago's far southwest side is known for large older homes, the Longwood Drive historic district and its Metra Rock Island stops. Beverly's big older homes often have original kitchens moved to the back of the house and baths that were updated decades ago.
Beverly bathrooms often need all-new plumbing behind classic finishes such as subway tile and hex floors. Guardian Surface Pros plans the whole bathroom with you — layout, materials, fixtures and lighting — and builds it in the right order so the finish work sits on a solid base.

Walk-in showers and tub-to-shower conversions
Walk-in showers are the most requested change in bathrooms right now. A large shower with a bench, a niche for bottles, a handheld sprayer on a slide bar and a frameless glass panel makes the room feel bigger and is easier to use as people get older. A linear drain lets the floor slope in one direction, which is what makes a curbless entry possible.
Converting an unused tub to a shower is one of the best uses of space in a hall bath or primary bath. The existing tub footprint is usually about 60 by 30 inches, which makes a comfortable shower; if the room allows, extending it gets you more.
Tile, flooring and heated floors
Porcelain tile is the workhorse of the bathroom — hard, water-resistant and available in almost any look, from marble patterns to wood-look planks. Large-format tile means fewer grout lines; small mosaic tile on a shower floor gives better grip and follows the slope to the drain.
Electric radiant floor heat is easy to add during a remodel, since the floor is already open. It sits under the tile, runs on a thermostat, and takes the chill off a tile floor on a Chicago winter morning.
Choosing the right scope for your Beverly bathroom
| Project size | What is usually included | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Powder room | Vanity, toilet, lighting, mirror, flooring and wall finish | Guest-facing rooms that need impact |
| Hall bath | Tub or shower, vanity, tile, fixtures and ventilation | Kids' and guest baths that are worn out |
| Primary bath | Walk-in shower, double vanity, freestanding tub, heated floors, layout changes | Owner's suites and full renovations |

Bathroom Remodeling in Beverly: questions
Do you do bathroom remodeling in Beverly?
Yes. Beverly is in our regular service area. Call or text (630) 888-2161 to set up a walkthrough.
What bathroom projects are most common in Beverly?
Beverly bathrooms often need all-new plumbing behind classic finishes such as subway tile and hex floors.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
A hall bath or powder room takes less time than a primary bathroom with layout changes. Tile work and waterproofing have cure times that cannot be rushed. Once the scope is set we give you a schedule with the estimate.
Can you turn my tub into a walk-in shower?
Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common bathroom projects. The tub comes out, the drain is moved to suit the shower, and a waterproof shower is built in its place.
What if you find water damage behind the walls?
It is common in older bathrooms. If we find rot, soft subfloor or mold when the walls come open, we show you before repairing it and explain what it adds to the job.
Is a curbless shower possible in my home?
Often, yes, but it depends on the floor structure. A curbless shower needs the floor recessed or sloped to the drain, which is easier over a basement or crawlspace than on a slab or in a condo. We check this at the walkthrough.
Should I keep a bathtub for resale?
In most homes it makes sense to keep at least one tub somewhere in the house, which is why many owners convert the primary bath to a large shower and keep a tub in a hall bath.
Can you add heated floors?
Yes. Electric radiant heat goes under the tile during the remodel and runs on its own thermostat.
Can you work in my condo building?
Yes. We plan around building rules for hours, elevator reservations, insurance paperwork and deliveries.
