Bathroom remodeling in Park Ridge, IL
Bathroom remodeling in Park Ridge frequently addresses the compact, utilitarian layouts common in the town's brick bungalows and Tudor Revivals. These early 20th-century homes often feature small, compartmentalized bathrooms with original plumbing that requires updating. Later Georgians and post-war ranches, while offering slightly more space, still present opportunities for significant layout improvements and aesthetic overhauls. A typical project often involves reconfiguring the footprint to accommodate larger showers, double vanities, or even separate water closets. We frequently encounter original cast-iron drain lines and outdated vent systems that necessitate careful planning and replacement to meet modern codes and homeowner expectations.
What Park Ridge homeowners ask for
Park Ridge homeowners frequently request the conversion of original tub/shower combinations into spacious, walk-in showers, particularly in primary bathrooms. In smaller bungalow bathrooms, maximizing storage through built-in niches and custom vanities is a common priority. We also see strong demand for heated flooring and advanced ventilation systems to enhance comfort and prevent moisture issues in these often-tight spaces.
About Park Ridge
Park Ridge's housing tells the story of its development, from early 20th-century commuter homes to postwar ranches, and remodeling often involves opening up compartmentalized floor plans behind solid masonry.
Park Ridge began as Brickton, the clay-pit town that supplied Chicago's builders, and its housing still tells that story: the 1910s–'20s commuter boom filled the blocks around Uptown and the 1928 Pickwick Theatre with brick bungalows and Tudor Revivals, wartime Georgians followed (many built for Douglas Aircraft plant workers), and 1950s–'60s ranches and split-levels rounded out the postwar edges. Metra's UP-NW stops at Uptown and Dee Road keep the Loop close.
The 1910s–'20s brick bungalows and Tudor Revivals often feature single, compact bathrooms, likely with original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains, requiring comprehensive plumbing updates and careful consideration of venting within solid masonry walls. Wartime Georgians, built for Douglas Aircraft plant workers, may present similar plumbing challenges but potentially offer slightly more space for reconfigurations. Postwar 1950s–'60s ranches and split-levels, rounding out the edges, introduced more varied layouts, sometimes including a second bathroom, but still benefit from modernizing supply and drainage. The common practice of opening up compartmentalized floor plans in these homes for wider kitchens and updated bathrooms suggests a need to address floor structure under existing tile when reconfiguring layouts. Creating primary suites from smaller bedrooms in these older homes often involves integrating new bathroom spaces where none existed, requiring careful planning for drainage, supply, and venting. Even with the city's own water system, internal plumbing updates are crucial when touching water service.
Park Ridge's Community Preservation and Development department requires permits for all plumbing, electrical, and structural changes involved in a bathroom remodel. This includes any alterations to drain and vent lines, electrical outlets, or load-bearing elements. GS Construction & Remodeling manages the entire permit process, from application submission through scheduling all necessary inspections, ensuring compliance with city requirements.

We found G&S on Houzz.com and couldn’t be happier. They created a full basement bathroom and did drywall work to enclose a section of the basement to create a small 4th bedroom. Not only was the price reasonable but their communication and quality of work were outstanding. They did a weekly walk through during the project which was helpful to gage the progress of the project and to make any change requests. This was our first large house project and they guided us through the entire process. I would definitely recommend them and we plan to use them in the future.
