South Barrington Bathroom Remodeling — What We Actually See in These Homes

South Barrington has a median home value of $1,100,000 and most of the housing stock was built 1994. South Barrington primary bathrooms were built to an estate standard — 200 to 400 square feet is common, with separate tub and shower areas, double vanities, and high-end fixtures that were premium in the 1990s and early 2000s. These homes are now 25 to 35 years old. The original luxury finishes — cultured marble, soaker tubs, original custom tile — are at the age where they look dated relative to the value of the home. A full gut renovation of a South Barrington primary bath is a substantial project, and it should be.

Every shower surround we build starts with demo to studs, cement backer board throughout, and a full waterproof membrane at every seam and penetration — GoBoard or Schluter Kerdi depending on the application. This is the work that makes tile last 20 or more years instead of five. It adds time and cost compared to shortcuts, and it is the only way to build a bathroom that does not need to be redone a decade from now.

Our pricing includes both labor and mid-range finish materials. Your written estimate lists every line item before a single tile is pulled.

In South Barrington homes built before 1990, the original bathroom tile was almost always installed directly over standard drywall without any waterproof membrane — standard practice at the time. After 30 to 50 years that substrate has typically failed behind the surface without any visible sign from the front. Tiling over the existing tile seals in that damage. A full gut remodel lets us see exactly what is behind the walls, address any water damage, and install cement backer and waterproof membrane correctly before new tile goes up.
