Bathroom remodeling in Lake Barrington, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Lake Barrington often addresses distinct characteristics across its varied housing stock. In Barrington Harbor Estates and older custom homes, we frequently encounter original mid-century bathrooms with smaller footprints, compartmentalized layouts, and aging cast iron plumbing. Lake Barrington Shores townhomes and condominiums, built from the 1970s to 1990s, typically feature more spacious bathrooms but with finishes and fixtures that feel dated, often incorporating jetted tubs that are now rarely used. Newer construction in The Enclave of Heritage Estates or Tallgrass usually involves cosmetic updates to primary or guest bathrooms, enhancing existing layouts rather than reconfiguring them. Our projects frequently involve re-imagining these spaces to improve flow, maximize storage, and introduce modern amenities while respecting the home's overall architectural style.
What Lake Barrington homeowners ask for
Lake Barrington homeowners frequently request the conversion of underutilized jetted tubs in 1970s–90s Shores units into large, walk-in showers with bench seating and multiple showerheads. In older single-family homes, clients often seek to reconfigure cramped primary bathrooms to create more open sightlines and better flow, sometimes incorporating a double vanity where space allows. There's also a strong demand for updating secondary and powder rooms with contemporary vanities, lighting, and tile to reflect a more modern aesthetic.
About Lake Barrington
Lake Barrington's housing reflects its wooded, large-lot character, protected since its 1959 incorporation. This diverse housing stock, from mid-century homes to newer custom builds and townhomes, offers unique remodeling opportunities.
Lake Barrington incorporated in 1959 to keep zoning in local hands, and the wooded, large-lot character it protected shows in every era of its housing. Barrington Harbor Estates off Kelsey Road dates to the late 1950s; Lake Barrington Shores added 1,317 gated townhomes and condominiums around a 96-acre private lake between 1974 and 1996; and newer subdivisions like the custom Enclave of Heritage Estates and Taylor Morrison's Tallgrass carried building through the 2010s into the 2020s. Families here are served by Barrington 220 schools, with Metra's UP-NW line in neighboring Barrington.
Bathroom remodeling in Barrington Harbor Estates and older custom homes often involves addressing original mid-century layouts with single bathrooms, requiring careful planning for primary suite additions from smaller bedrooms. In these older homes, cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines are common, necessitating full replacement for modern plumbing systems and proper venting upgrades. Lake Barrington Shores townhomes and condominiums, built between 1974 and 1996, typically feature more bathrooms, but their floor structures under tile may not be robust enough for modern, heavier materials without reinforcement. The absence of a village-wide water system means that any plumbing relocation or fixture additions in any era home must account for private well and septic system capacities and Lake County Health Department requirements.
Bathroom remodels in Lake Barrington require permits for changes involving plumbing, electrical, or structural alterations. This includes relocating fixtures, modifying drain and vent lines, or upgrading electrical circuits for new lighting or outlets, all of which trigger necessary inspections by the village's contracted building code firm. GS Construction & Remodeling manages these permit applications and schedules all required inspections, ensuring compliance with local codes.

Patryk and Greg were a pleasure to work with. Not only did they have wonderful communication, keeping us updated on daily progress, they were fast and reliable as well. When a problem arose with our tub, Patryk took the lead and dealt with the retailer and manufacturer so we didn't have to worry. They did amazing work and we are so pleased with our final bathroom! We will definitely use them again!
