Bathroom remodeling in Lincolnwood, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Lincolnwood often addresses the distinct characteristics of its mid-century housing stock. Many homes feature smaller, compartmentalized bathrooms common in 1950s and 60s ranches and split-levels, which frequently means reconfiguring the footprint to gain space or improve flow. Primary bathrooms, especially in larger Lincolnwood Towers residences, benefit from updated layouts that maximize existing square footage. Even a simple fixture upgrade or tile refresh in these homes can dramatically improve functionality and aesthetic, but most projects involve more comprehensive changes to plumbing, ventilation, and finishes to meet modern expectations for comfort and style. We often find ourselves modernizing spaces that haven't been touched since their original construction.
What Lincolnwood homeowners ask for
Lincolnwood homeowners frequently request expanding hall bathrooms by reallocating space from adjacent linen closets or small hallways, a common tactic to open up tighter 1950s footprints. Walk-in showers are a highly sought-after upgrade, especially for primary bathrooms, often replacing outdated tub-shower combos. We also see strong demand for dual vanities and increased storage solutions, essential for decluttering and enhancing daily utility in both compact and larger bathrooms.
About Lincolnwood
Lincolnwood's housing tells the story of its postwar boom: most streets still carry that era's brick ranches, bungalows, and split-levels, while Lincolnwood Towers runs larger. Remodeling here usually means opening up compartmentalized mid-century floor plans.
The village nearly quadrupled in population during the 1950s, and most streets still carry that era's brick ranches, bungalows, and split-levels, while Lincolnwood Towers — the custom-home enclave west of the Edens famous for its holiday light displays — runs larger. District 74 schools and Niles West High School serve local families, and the Edens keeps Loop commutes short.
The prevalence of 1950s brick ranches, bungalows, and split-levels often means original bathrooms were designed as single, compartmentalized spaces, requiring creative solutions for adding primary suites or expanding existing baths. These mid-century homes likely feature cast-iron drain lines and galvanized supply pipes, which often necessitate full replacement during comprehensive remodels to ensure modern plumbing standards and performance. Venting in these older layouts may not meet current code requirements, often needing upgrades when reconfiguring bathroom footprints. The floor structure under original tile in these 1950s homes may require reinforcement or leveling to support new, heavier finishes or reconfigured layouts. In Lincolnwood Towers, while homes are larger, primary suites may still be carved from existing bedrooms or smaller spaces, requiring careful planning to integrate modern amenities. The municipal Lake Michigan water system and the presence of lead service lines also highlight the importance of assessing supply lines during any plumbing-heavy bathroom renovation.
Bathroom remodels in Lincolnwood require specific inspections by the Village's Community Development Department, particularly for plumbing rough-ins, drain and vent modifications, and electrical work. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the complete permit application process and schedules all necessary inspections on your behalf.

We have used GS for two bathroom projects-the first a small update; the second a complete remodel. We were thrilled with both. Everything was as promised; the timeline, price, and what it would look like. We were able to buy our own tile and fixtures and were not tied to any company's showroom. We got what we wanted and likely saved money doing so. GS also installed interior doors. The workmanship was great. The only downside is that now the bathrooms are the two nicest rooms in the house! I would heartily recommend GS construction!
