Bathroom remodeling in Fox River Grove, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Fox River Grove frequently involves modernizing spaces in both the compact cottage-era homes near the river and the more expansive residences of Foxmoor. In the older, smaller homes, we often reconfigure layouts to maximize every square foot, sometimes converting a half-bath to a full or creating a more efficient main bath. For two-story homes in Foxmoor, primary bathroom remodels are common, focusing on updated fixtures, larger showers, and improved storage. We routinely address aging plumbing and ventilation in these diverse properties, ensuring new bathrooms meet contemporary standards for comfort and function. Many projects involve removing outdated tile and fixtures, re-framing where necessary, and upgrading to more durable and aesthetically pleasing materials. Our work often transforms cramped or dated bathrooms into bright, spa-like retreats, tailored to the specific architecture of each Fox River Grove home.
What Fox River Grove homeowners ask for
Homeowners in Fox River Grove frequently request walk-in showers with bench seating and frameless glass enclosures, particularly in primary bathrooms. We also see strong demand for adding or expanding linen closets and integrating smart storage solutions in smaller bathrooms. Floating vanities are a popular choice for their modern aesthetic and ability to create a sense of spaciousness, especially in the more compact cottage homes.
About Fox River Grove
Fox River Grove began as a resort town, and that history still shapes the housing: compact cottage-era homes on the blocks near the river and the Metra station, and newer stock like Foxmoor off Algonquin Road, built from the late 1970s into the 1990s.
Fox River Grove began as a resort town — the old Picnic Grove drew Chicagoans by the trainload, and Czech families built cottages on the hills above the Fox River — and that history still shapes the housing: compact cottage-era homes on the blocks near the river and the Metra station, the Picnic Grove subdivision on the former resort grounds, and newer stock like Foxmoor off Algonquin Road, built from the late 1970s into the 1990s. District 3 schools, Cary-Grove High School, and the UP-NW Metra stop anchor daily life.
The cottage era homes near the river often feature compact bathrooms, necessitating creative solutions to fit full baths into tight footprints, sometimes involving reconfiguring existing small spaces. For homes built before the 2024 water main replacement program, older plumbing, including lead service lines, may be encountered during remodels touching supply lines. In Foxmoor-era two-story homes, primary bathroom updates are a common request, often involving more extensive reconfigurations or additions to accommodate modern preferences. Remodeling in these older homes frequently requires addressing the original drain and supply lines, which might be galvanized or cast-iron, given the age of the Village's utility infrastructure. When converting small bedrooms into primary suites, the floor structure under new tile will need careful assessment to ensure proper support for modern fixtures and finishes.
Bathroom remodeling in Fox River Grove often triggers plumbing and electrical inspections, especially with changes to drain and vent lines or adding new fixtures. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the entire permit process for your bathroom remodel, including application submission and scheduling all necessary inspections with the Village.

Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.
Having done a fairly large amount of “research” online I concluded that it was time to get an excellent contractor team and not second rate. GS is A + excellent. From bottom to top, their people care about doing the right thing, they are active listeners who ask for feedback, and have a very positive attitude in achieving excellence in the little matters which leads to big beautiful renovations. The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra, said a prominent fb coach, and its true in renovations. Greg Szady and Patryk Szady have high quality people and actively work with my selected and excellent designer Jenn Peterson to put my first floor into the 21st century and beyond my expectations. The designer selected very high quality materials and Patryk and Greg delivered excellent renovations installations and detail. Kudos especially to GS flooring experts because everything transformed beautifully. No one has paid me for this review or told me what to say.
