Why Remodel Your Bathroom

Transform Your Roscoe Village Bathroom Into a Personal Retreat

Roscoe Village's 1920s bungalows and greystones have incredible character—but their bathrooms often tell a different story. Compact layouts, original cast-iron plumbing, outdated tile, and zero storage are common complaints. The good news? A well-executed bathroom renovation delivers one of the highest returns on investment of any home improvement project.

Whether you're updating a single hall bath or creating a spa-worthy master suite, the right renovation can transform your daily routine and add serious value to your home.

  • High ROI: Bathroom remodels return 60-70% of cost at resale—top-tier for home improvements
  • Daily Impact: You use your bathroom multiple times daily—why not love it?
  • Solve Problems: Address cast-iron plumbing, balloon framing issues, and water damage before they worsen
  • Modern Efficiency: Low-flow fixtures cut water usage 20-60% without sacrificing performance

Planning Guide

What to Consider for Your Remodel

Key decisions and common challenges specific to Roscoe Village bathroom renovations.

Design Decisions

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

Roscoe Village Challenges

  • Cast-Iron Plumbing: Original 1920s drain lines often need replacement (budget $2K-$5K)
  • Compact Footprints: Bungalow baths are often under 45 sq ft—space planning is critical
  • Balloon Framing: 1920s construction requires careful structural assessment
  • Lead Paint/Asbestos: Pre-1978 homes may require testing and abatement
  • No Landmark District: Standard Chicago permits only—no historic review needed

Client Reviews

What Roscoe Village Homeowners Say

Hear from neighbors who transformed their bathrooms with Assembly Squad.

"Our 1920s bungalow bathroom was a disaster—tiny, moldy, and falling apart. Cast-iron plumbing, balloon framing, the works. Assembly Squad gutted it and created this incredible spa-like space with a walk-in shower, heated floors, and custom vanity. They knew exactly how to handle the old construction. Couldn't be happier!"

MR
Michelle R.
Roscoe Village — Bungalow

"We converted our two-flat and needed both bathrooms completely redone. Assembly Squad handled the structural work, moved the plumbing stack, and finished both in under 5 weeks. The master bath has gorgeous marble tile and a frameless shower that fits the 1920s doorway heights perfectly. Our neighbors keep asking who did the work!"

Common Questions

Bathroom Remodeling FAQs

Answers to frequently asked questions about bathroom renovation in Roscoe Village.

Roscoe Village bathroom remodels typically cost $500-$1,000 per square foot, or $25,000-$40,000 for a standard 40-50 sq ft bungalow bathroom gut renovation. Master bathrooms with dual vanities, separate tub and shower run $45,000-$75,000+. Powder rooms cost $8,000-$15,000. Roscoe Village's 1920s homes often have cast-iron plumbing and balloon framing that add 10-15% to standard costs.
Most Roscoe Village bathroom remodels take 3-6 weeks. Timeline: Week 1 for demo and plumbing/electrical rough-in; Weeks 2-3 for waterproofing, tile installation, and vanity; Weeks 4-5 for fixtures, paint, and accessories; Week 6 for punch list and final details. Powder rooms take 1-2 weeks. Master baths may take 6-8 weeks. Permit approval typically takes 1-3 weeks before construction starts.
Yes, Chicago requires permits for bathroom renovations involving plumbing changes, electrical work, or structural modifications. Roscoe Village is not a landmark district, so standard Chicago permits apply—no historic commission review needed. Assembly Squad handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections. Cosmetic updates like paint, mirrors, and accessories typically don't require permits.
Yes, we specialize in 1920s Chicago homes. Many Roscoe Village bungalows and greystones have original cast-iron drain lines (prone to cracks), galvanized supply pipes (prone to corrosion), and balloon framing that requires careful structural assessment. We commonly replace old supply lines with PEX, update corroded drain fittings, and work around vintage plumbing configurations. Our 13+ years of experience means fewer surprises and accurate estimates.
It depends on your household and resale plans. Walk-in showers are preferred by most buyers—they're spacious, accessible, and luxurious. In Roscoe Village's compact bungalow bathrooms, a walk-in shower can make a small space feel much larger. 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.
Roscoe Village buyers appreciate timeless over trendy. Large-format porcelain (24x24 or 12x24) in neutral colors creates a clean, modern look. Marble-look porcelain is popular for elegance without marble's maintenance. Subway tile remains classic for shower walls. For floors, we recommend porcelain over natural stone for durability. Heated floors are increasingly expected in the $40K+ range.
Two-flat conversions are one of our specialties in Roscoe Village. Whether you're converting to single-family or updating both units, we handle the unique plumbing stack configurations, structural considerations with balloon framing, and layout challenges of 1920s two-flats. We can relocate plumbing stacks, combine spaces, and design bathrooms that work with the existing structure—saving you time and money compared to contractors unfamiliar with this building type.
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.
