Palatine Bathroom Remodeling
GS CONSTRUCTION & REMODELING
GS Construction & Remodeling has remodeled bathrooms for Palatine homeowners since 2015. Gregory and Patryk are a father-son team with more than 40 years between them, and one of them is on your job personally.
A Palatine bathroom usually takes 3–5 weeks. The parts that matter are the ones you never see again once the walls close, so one of us is here while it happens and the village signs off before anything gets covered. You get the scope written out line by line up front, not one number you can't check.
- Free in-home estimate from an owner, not a salesperson
- Waterproofing and shower pans built to spec, not to schedule
- Plumbing and electrical permits pulled with Palatine
- Workmanship warranty on every bathroom — our commitment never expires
"Typically 3–5 weeks on site, with an owner there daily."

Bathroom remodeling in Palatine, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Palatine frequently addresses the evolution of the village's housing stock, from its 1920s bungalows to the extensive ranches and split-levels of the postwar boom. Many homes in Palatine, especially those from the 1950s through the 1980s, feature original bathrooms with smaller footprints, outdated fixtures, and inefficient layouts that no longer meet modern family needs. Our projects often involve reconfiguring these spaces to accommodate larger showers, dual vanities, or even dedicated linen closets, transforming a cramped original bath into a functional and aesthetically pleasing oasis. We frequently encounter original cast iron drain lines and older galvanized supply piping, which are typically upgraded to modern PVC and PEX during these remodels, improving water pressure and drainage efficiency. The challenge and reward lie in integrating contemporary design and functionality while respecting the structural integrity of these established Palatine homes.
What Palatine homeowners ask for
Palatine homeowners commonly request expanded shower enclosures, often converting tub-shower combos into spacious walk-in showers with bench seating and multiple showerheads. Another frequent request involves optimizing vanity space, transitioning from single-sink setups to double vanities, especially in primary bathrooms of 1960s and 70s ranches and two-stories. We also see strong demand for improved ventilation, particularly in second-floor bathrooms of older homes where original exhaust fans may be undersized or non-existent, leading to moisture issues.
About Palatine
Palatine's housing maps its growth rings with remarkable clarity, reflecting over a century and a half of expansion. Its varied housing stock, from its historic heart to its expansive suburban neighborhoods, offers continuous opportunities for thoughtful, value-adding remodeling.
The village's core was platted in 1855, centered around today's bustling downtown Metra station on the UP-NW line, and still features some of its earliest architecture. As the village expanded, 1920s subdivisions like Palatine Manor emerged, characterized by their charming, often two-story or bungalow-style homes. The true postwar boom, however, built the majority of Palatine, shaping its suburban character. Neighborhoods like Winston Park, platted from 1957, Reseda and Virginia Lake in the 1960s, and Peppertree from 1967 onward, are prime examples of this era. These areas are rich in the ranches, split-levels, and traditional two-stories that form the bedrock of our remodeling projects. The architectural diversity extends to later developments as well. While the core offers historic charm, with the Clayson House Museum standing as a testament to its past, newer sections of Palatine, even those from the 1970s and 80s, offer different remodeling challenges and opportunities, often with larger footprints or different construction methods.
The 1920s bungalows and two-story homes in Palatine Manor often feature original bathrooms with layouts that can be expanded by incorporating adjacent closet space or reconfiguring smaller bedrooms. Postwar ranches and split-levels in Winston Park, Reseda, Virginia Lake, and Peppertree frequently have bathrooms with original cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines, necessitating full replacement for modern performance. Venting in these older homes is often inadequate, requiring upgrades to meet current codes and prevent moisture issues in their original ceiling or wall cavities. The floor structures in these homes, especially those with original tile, may require reinforcement or leveling for new, heavier materials. Furthermore, the robust construction of many Palatine homes from the 1950s through 1980s allows for the creation of primary suites by combining smaller bedrooms or reallocating space from less-used areas.
Palatine bathroom remodels require specific inspections for drain, waste, and vent piping rough-ins, as well as electrical and plumbing final inspections to ensure compliance with current codes. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the complete permit application process through the Village's CSS portal, including all necessary drawings and scheduling of inspections.
