Why Remodel Your Bathroom

Turn Your Riverwoods Bathroom Into a Private Spa Retreat

Riverwoods homes sit on wooded, oversized lots along the Des Plaines River—but many of their bathrooms haven't kept pace with the rest of the property. Outdated vanities, worn tile, inefficient layouts, and aging plumbing are common across the village's ranch homes, colonials, and custom-built estates.

Whether you're upgrading a guest bath or designing a resort-style master suite, a thoughtfully planned bathroom renovation adds daily comfort and significant resale value to your Riverwoods home.

  • High ROI: Bathroom remodels return 60-70% of cost at resale—one of the strongest returns in home improvement
  • Daily Impact: You use your bathroom every day—make it a space you actually enjoy
  • Solve Hidden Issues: Address outdated plumbing, water damage, and mold before they escalate
  • Water Efficiency: Modern low-flow fixtures reduce water usage 20-60% without sacrificing performance

Planning Guide

What to Consider for Your Riverwoods Remodel

Key decisions and challenges specific to Riverwoods bathroom renovations.

Design Decisions

  • Layout: Keep existing layout ($$$) vs. move plumbing ($$$$)
  • Shower vs. Tub: Walk-in showers add value; keep a tub if you have young children
  • Vanity Style: Single vs. double sink, floating vs. furniture-style
  • Storage: Medicine cabinet, linen closet, under-vanity, recessed niches
  • Lighting: Sconces at mirror height, recessed overhead, dimmer switches

Riverwoods-Specific Challenges

  • Well & Septic Systems: Many Riverwoods homes use private wells and septic—plumbing must account for this
  • Mature Tree Root Intrusion: Wooded lots mean drain lines are susceptible to root damage
  • Older Home Plumbing: 1960s-80s ranch homes often have copper or galvanized pipes that need updating
  • Village Permits: Riverwoods requires building permits for plumbing and electrical work
  • Good News: We've renovated hundreds of North Shore bathrooms—including many in Riverwoods!

What North Shore Homeowners Say

Hear from neighbors who transformed their bathrooms with Assembly Squad.

"Our master bathroom in Riverwoods was straight out of the 1980s—brass fixtures, pink tile, a fiberglass tub insert. Assembly Squad transformed it into a stunning spa with a curbless shower, heated floors, and a floating double vanity. They even rerouted our old copper plumbing without tearing up the whole house. Absolutely incredible work."

"We renovated both bathrooms in our Riverwoods ranch—Assembly Squad handled the village permits, worked around our well system, and finished both rooms in under five weeks. The hall bath has beautiful marble-look porcelain and the master has a gorgeous walk-in shower with a rain head. Our neighbors keep asking who did the work!"

Common Questions

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs — Riverwoods IL

Answers to frequently asked questions about bathroom renovation in Riverwoods.

Riverwoods bathroom remodels typically range from $30,000 to $55,000 for a standard full bathroom gut renovation. Master bathrooms with dual vanities, separate tub and shower, and premium finishes run $55,000 to $90,000 or more. Powder rooms cost $10,000 to $18,000. North Shore pricing reflects the higher quality finishes expected in the area, potential well and septic considerations, and the craftsmanship required for Riverwoods homes.
Most Riverwoods bathroom remodels take 3-5 weeks. A typical timeline includes Week 1 for demo and plumbing/electrical rough-in, Weeks 2-3 for waterproofing and tile installation, and Weeks 4-5 for fixtures, vanity, paint, and final details. Powder rooms take 1-2 weeks. Master baths may take 5-6 weeks. Village permit approval typically takes 1-2 weeks before construction begins.
Yes, the Village of Riverwoods requires building permits for bathroom renovations involving plumbing changes, electrical work, or structural modifications. Moving fixtures, adding new plumbing lines, or upgrading electrical panels all require permits and inspections. Assembly Squad handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections with the village on your behalf.
Absolutely. Many Riverwoods homes rely on private wells and septic systems rather than municipal water and sewer. Our team is experienced with these systems and ensures all plumbing updates are compatible. We coordinate with licensed septic professionals when needed and ensure your bathroom renovation doesn't overload your existing system. We'll evaluate your setup during the initial consultation.
It depends on your household and resale plans. Walk-in showers are preferred by most buyers—they're spacious, accessible, and luxurious. However, if you have young children or only one full bathroom, keeping a tub is practical. Our recommendation: if you have 2+ full baths, convert the master to a walk-in shower and keep a tub in the hall bath for flexibility.
Riverwoods homeowners tend to favor timeless, natural-feeling finishes that complement the wooded surroundings. Large-format porcelain (24x24 or 12x24) in neutral tones creates a clean, modern look. Marble-look porcelain is popular for elegance without the maintenance. Natural stone accents work well in this setting. For floors, we recommend porcelain for durability. Heated floors are increasingly expected in the $45K+ range.
Yes, we specialize in renovating homes built in the 1960s through 1980s—the era when most Riverwoods homes were constructed. We commonly replace aging copper supply lines, update corroded drain fittings, and modernize outdated plumbing configurations. Our experience with North Shore properties means fewer surprises and more accurate estimates from day one.
We provide a 2-year workmanship warranty covering all labor, installation, and waterproofing. This includes tile work, plumbing connections, electrical, and general construction. Manufacturer warranties on fixtures, faucets, and toilets are passed through to you (typically 1-5 years). Our Schluter waterproofing system comes with a manufacturer lifetime warranty when installed by a certified contractor—which we are.
