Bathroom Remodeling in Clarendon Hills: Primary Baths, Shower Remodeling, Tub-to-Shower Conversion, Vanity
Clarendon Hills is a small village between Hinsdale and Westmont with a compact downtown around its Metra stop and a mix of older homes and newer builds. Older Clarendon Hills homes have smaller kitchens and one or two baths that were never meant for today's families.
In Clarendon Hills a common project is rebuilding the one main hall bath, or adding a real primary bath during a larger renovation. 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 Clarendon Hills bathroom

| 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 Clarendon Hills: questions
Do you do bathroom remodeling in Clarendon Hills?
Yes. Clarendon Hills is in our regular service area. Call or text (630) 888-2161 to set up a walkthrough.
What bathroom projects are most common in Clarendon Hills?
In Clarendon Hills a common project is rebuilding the one main hall bath, or adding a real primary bath during a larger renovation.
Do I need a permit for a bathroom remodel?
Most remodels that change plumbing or electrical need one. Requirements vary by town, so it is part of the planning conversation for your project.
Can you keep my bathroom usable during the remodel?
A full remodel takes the room out of service. If it is the only bathroom in the house, tell us early so we can plan the sequence around that.
What tile is best for a shower floor?
Small tile such as mosaic or penny tile follows the slope to the drain and gives better grip. With a linear drain, larger tile can work.
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.
