Bathroom remodeling in Melrose Park, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Melrose Park often means transforming compact, single-story layouts from the midcentury boom. Many homes, particularly the Ashley, Beverly, and Canterbury models in Winston Park, were built with small, functional bathrooms that now feel dated and cramped. A typical project involves reconfiguring these tight spaces, often relocating fixtures to improve flow and introducing modern amenities. We frequently address original cast iron plumbing, which can be prone to rust and blockages, upgrading it to contemporary PVC for reliability. Updating these essential rooms not only enhances daily living but also significantly boosts the overall value and appeal of these classic Melrose Park residences.
What Melrose Park homeowners ask for
Melrose Park homeowners frequently seek to expand the perceived space in their existing bathrooms, often by replacing bulky vanities with pedestal sinks or wall-mounted options. Converting original tub-shower combos into walk-in showers with frameless glass is another common request, especially in main-floor bathrooms. Many also prioritize better lighting and improved exhaust ventilation to combat moisture issues common in older homes.
About Melrose Park
Melrose Park is one of the west suburbs' oldest villages, but much of its housing dates to the boom after World War II. This midcentury stock offers opportunities for kitchen and bathroom renovations, basement build-outs, and additions.
Melrose Park is one of the west suburbs' oldest villages — incorporated in 1882 and renamed Melrose Park in 1893 — but much of its housing dates to the boom after World War II, when manufacturers like International Harvester and Zenith drew thousands of new residents and subdivisions like Winston Park filled former farm fields with Ashley, Beverly, and Canterbury model homes between 1952 and 1964. Three elementary districts (89, 88, and 83) serve different parts of town, teens head to Proviso East or West, and the Melrose Park Metra station reaches Ogilvie in under half an hour on the UP-W line.
The post-World War II housing boom, particularly in subdivisions like Winston Park (1952-1964), means many homes were built with only one or two compact bathrooms, often requiring the addition of a second bath or primary suite carved from existing small bedrooms. These midcentury homes likely feature original cast-iron drain lines and galvanized supply pipes, which are prone to corrosion and reduced water flow, necessitating upgrades for modern fixtures. Venting in these older layouts may be inadequate by current code, requiring improvements to prevent moisture issues common in homes from this era. The original floor structures under tiled bathrooms may require reinforcement or leveling to support contemporary tile choices and prevent future cracking. Given the village's own water system, we consider lead service line status when planning plumbing changes in these older homes.
Bathroom remodeling in Melrose Park triggers plumbing and electrical inspections from the Building Department, particularly with changes to drain and vent lines, or the relocation of fixtures. GS Construction & Remodeling manages all permit applications and coordinates every required inspection, ensuring your project complies with village regulations.

I am a designer in Chicago and worked with Greg and his team on two bathroom renovations. They were exceptional. Their communication was really impressive, they were on time, on budget and fantastic to work with. I really have nothing but good things to say. I really look forward to working with them again in the near future. A great contractor is hard to come by, but I would recommend GS to anyone!
