Bathroom remodeling in Long Grove, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Long Grove often involves updating custom homes built from the 1970s through the 2000s, where original layouts frequently feature smaller, compartmentalized primary bathrooms or secondary baths that feel dated. Many of these residences, designed with more traditional aesthetics, present opportunities to transform cramped spaces into expansive, spa-like retreats. A typical project might involve reconfiguring a 1980s primary suite to incorporate a larger walk-in shower, freestanding tub, and double vanity, moving away from carpeted floors and avocado-colored fixtures common in earlier builds. For homes on acreage along Gilmer and Old McHenry Roads, these renovations elevate the interior to match the grandeur of their surroundings. Even for newer construction in areas like Sunset Grove, homeowners seek to personalize builder-grade finishes with custom tilework, modern fixtures, and enhanced functionality.
What Long Grove homeowners ask for
Long Grove homeowners frequently request expanded primary bathrooms that merge separate toilet rooms or small showers into a cohesive, luxurious space. Common asks include converting outdated tub/shower combos into large walk-in showers with bench seating and multiple showerheads, often alongside the addition of a freestanding soaking tub. We also see strong demand for relocating walls to create more spacious layouts, particularly in 1970s and 80s homes where bathrooms were typically smaller and more enclosed.
About Long Grove
Long Grove has spent seventy years deliberately not looking like a standard suburb, a character deeply ingrained in its homes and remodeling needs. This means its diverse housing stock offers unique opportunities and considerations for any remodeling project.
Incorporated in 1956 behind three-acre zoning, the village still prohibits sidewalks and residential streetlights, fostering a rural aesthetic that homeowners cherish. Its 1840s German-settled crossroads downtown, anchored by landmarks like the Robert Parker Coffin covered bridge and Long Grove Community Church, became Illinois' first local historic district in 1960.
The village’s housing stock came in waves, creating a diverse range of remodeling opportunities. Long Grove grew from about 1,200 residents in 1970 to more than 8,000 by 2010. This rapid growth meant an influx of custom houses primarily from the 1970s through the 2000s, often built on expansive, wooded lots. Many of these homes, whether in the upscale Royal Melbourne golf community or on acreage along Gilmer and Old McHenry Roads, were designed with more traditional layouts. Early 1970s and 80s homes might feature smaller, enclosed kitchens or less elaborate primary suites.
The rapid growth from 1970 to 2010, with an influx of custom houses, means many homes have multiple bathrooms, often with layouts reflecting the traditional designs of the era. Early 1970s and 80s homes with less elaborate primary suites suggest original bathrooms may have smaller footprints, possibly with cast-iron or galvanized plumbing, and less robust floor structures under original tile. The prevalence of private wells and septic fields outside the historic downtown and Sunset Grove dictates careful planning for drain and vent modifications, ensuring new bathroom layouts respect existing septic system capacities. For homes on expansive, wooded lots, new bathroom designs must consider proper venting to the exterior without impacting the rural aesthetic. As older homes from the initial growth spurts reach the end of their lifecycle, primary suites might be carved from small bedrooms or expanded into existing spaces, requiring structural modifications for new fixture placements and tile substrates.
Bathroom remodeling projects in Long Grove necessitate specific building permits covering plumbing, electrical, and structural changes. The Village's Building Department reviews plans for drain and vent modifications, new fixture installations, waterproofing, tile substrates, and exhaust ventilation systems to ensure compliance; GS Construction & Remodeling manages all permit applications and coordinates necessary inspections.

Your Neighbours in Long Grove Love Us
Real reviews from homeowners. Ask us for live phone references.
They did an outstanding job on our complete bathroom renovation! Our bathroom was an icebox due to poor insulation from the original build. They made excellent design recommendations to resolve the poor insulation and also installed heated floors. They converted an outdated tub/ shower combo into a beautiful walk-in shower and we are thrilled with the results . Their team was prompt, courteous and clean, taking off shoes and wiping down the area which with a toddler in the home was extra appreciated. They even helped us install a shower rod in another bathroom that was not part of the project. We are so happy they were recommended to us and we would definitely recommend them for your project.
