Every home is different. So is every family.
After twenty-two years of remodeling, I can tell you that no two kitchens, bathrooms or basements are ever the same. Every house has its own plumbing, its own structure and its own surprises. And every family is at a different stage of life. A young couple, a family with kids and a couple in retirement each want something different from the same room.
So we start by listening. We look at what you have, ask how you will really use the space, and show you finished projects, ours or ones you have saved on Pinterest, until we find what feels like you. Bold or traditional, a gym or a TV room, the design, the layout and the style should fit your personality, not a template. Then we build it.
Basements
Kitchens
Bathrooms
After a long day it’s the one door you can close. We build bathrooms that are modern, dry and calm — a personal retreat to unwind in at night and start the day right.
Drag the handle to see the change →
A freestanding tub, warm light and quiet surfaces turn the bathroom from a pit stop into a retreat. It’s the room where you reset — after work, after the kids, after the day.
We plan the tub, the floor and the lighting together so the room feels calm from the doorway: soft light, uncluttered surfaces and a place to set down a candle.
Furniture-style vanities in rich wood with warm brass hardware are everywhere right now, and for good reason: they look like part of the home, not part of the plumbing.
Pair one with framed mirrors and sconces at face height, and the morning routine happens in flattering light — no shadows under the eyes.
A great bathroom isn’t only beautiful, it’s dry. A properly sized exhaust fan, vented outside, clears the steam so mirrors stay clear and mold never gets a start — and models with a built-in LED light add a soft glow at night.
Pair it with a backlit mirror, a frameless glass enclosure and a waterproof membrane behind every tile, and the room stays fresh for decades — not just until the first winter.
“The best luxury isn’t more. It’s calm.
More homeowners are choosing a roomy walk-in shower over a tub. A black herringbone feature wall, marble-look tile and a hex mosaic floor turn the shower into the showpiece of the room.
A built-in niche keeps bottles off the floor, large tile means fewer grout lines, and the step-free entry makes it comfortable at any age.
Dark, textured walls with warm gold sconces and black fixtures are one of the most dramatic looks in bathrooms right now. Against a white vanity and clean quartz, the contrast looks custom.
The key is in the details: a moisture-rated wallcovering, a quiet exhaust fan to keep the room dry, and lighting at face height so the room feels glamorous instead of gloomy.
The room where every day begins — and every memory is made.
Starting at $27,500 →It’s where mornings start, homework gets done and the best conversations happen. We design a kitchen that works beautifully every day and turns heads when guests walk in.
Drag the handle to see the change →
Walk in and the room should make you say “wow.” Today’s showpiece kitchens do it with restraint: clean cabinetry, one beautiful stone, a dramatic range hood and lighting that makes everything glow.
In a Houzz survey of more than 7,500 homeowners remodeling kitchens, 79% said an improved look and feel was a top reason. People remodel to be proud of the room they live in.
The island has become the center of the party. In that same Houzz survey, 61% of remodels included an island and 77% opened the kitchen to the rooms around it.
A well-planned island seats your guests, hides the prep and keeps the cook in the conversation — with enough room around it that two people can pass without a collision.
Breakfast, homework, the “how was your day” talk — this is where a family actually lives. Window light, a durable counter and comfortable seating decide whether you linger or dash.
We plan landing spots for coffee, backpacks and mail so the daily chaos has a place to go, and choose finishes that shrug off spills and elbows.
“The best kitchens aren’t remembered for the appliances. They’re remembered for who was standing around the island.
Great cooking spaces are designed in zones: prep, cook, clean and store, each with what you need within reach. A gas cooktop under a real hood, a deep sink and counter space on both sides changes the whole rhythm of making dinner.
Under-cabinet lighting that shows exactly what you’re chopping, deep drawers instead of low doors and a tile backsplash that wipes clean. Small decisions you feel on day one.
Deep navy cabinets, a marble-look quartz island, brass stools and LED accent lighting: color is how kitchens express personality now, while the finishes underneath stay timeless.
Quartz resists stains and needs almost no upkeep, and well-built cabinets don’t go out of style. You choose the finishes once and enjoy them for years — and the next buyer notices.
Picture a space made for the way your family wants to play, gather and unwind — right under your own roof. No move, no new address, just a whole new level of living.

One feature families love in a finished basement is the media wall. A big screen set into a stone-clad wall, flanked by lit niches and a linear fireplace, gives the whole room a focal point — and a reason for everyone to gather.
We build it into the plan from day one: wiring for the TV, sound and fireplace runs inside the wall, so no cables show and all you see is the picture. Accent lighting in the niches does the rest.
A projector screen, surround sound and a row of recliners turn Friday night into an event — no tickets, no parking and no sharing the armrest with a stranger.
The difference between a TV room and a theater is in what you can’t see: speaker wire run before the drywall goes up, a ceiling that keeps the sound from traveling upstairs and lighting you can drop to near-dark with one button.
No commute, no membership, no waiting for the treadmill. A basement gym gets used because it’s twenty steps from the kitchen.
A concrete slab is hard on joints and equipment, so we plan for it: sport flooring where you lift, a mirror wall, bright even lighting and a deep accent color that makes it feel like a studio instead of a storage room.
“A finished basement isn’t a bigger house. It’s a better one.
Air hockey, foosball, ping-pong — the basement is where the noisy fun belongs. The kids get room to run and shout, and the living room upstairs stays calm.
Durable, wipe-clean flooring and plenty of built-in storage keep the mess contained, so clean-up takes minutes, not an afternoon.
Every family has a spot where the good stories happen. In a lot of homes it’s a bar with stools, soft light and a counter wide enough for the snacks — where birthdays, game days and holidays naturally collect.
A wet bar or kitchenette also means no more trips upstairs for ice and drinks. Add a small fridge, a sink and a few pendants over the counter, and your basement becomes the house everyone wants to host at.
A finished basement is the most affordable way to add real living space — but only if the unseen work is done right. Here is exactly what happens, in order, so you always know what comes next.
Everything decided on paper before a hammer swings.
We come to your home, measure the space, and look at the things that decide a basement project: ceiling height, stairs, windows and egress, the furnace and water heater, plumbing drains, and any signs of past moisture.
Your partShow us the whole basement, and tell us what you dream of using it for.
We draw your basement in 3D so you can see it before it exists — where the walls go, how the rooms flow, where the bathroom, bar or theater sits, and where lights and outlets belong.
Your partWalk through the design with us. Moving a wall now costs nothing; moving it later costs real money.
You choose flooring, paint, doors, trim, lighting and fixtures. We put everything into a clear written proposal with scope, price and schedule.
Your partPick finishes early so materials can be ordered ahead of the work.
The part nobody sees — and the part that protects your investment.
We handle the permit paperwork where it is required. Before demolition we set up dust barriers, protect floors and stairs, and plan a clean path in and out of your home.
Your partTell us the best entrance for crews and where materials can be stored.
Basements fail from water, not from bad paint. We check walls and floors, deal with any leaks or cracks, and use the right moisture control and insulation so the new space stays dry and warm.
Your partLet us know about any past leaks, even small ones. It is better to know now.
Walls go up, systems go in, and it starts to feel like rooms.
Walls are framed to your 3D plan, with soffits for ducts, space for plumbing and wiring, and any egress window or bedroom requirements built in.
Your partCome see your rooms take shape — this is a great day for a walkthrough.
Drains and water lines for a bathroom or bar, new circuits, outlets, recessed lights, TV and data wiring, and heating and cooling runs are all installed inside the open walls.
Your partLast chance to add outlets, switches or lighting without opening drywall.
Where required, the rough work is inspected before the walls are closed. We schedule it and make sure it passes.
Your partNothing needed from you.
Insulation goes in, then drywall is hung, taped and sanded smooth. Ceilings, soffits and stairs are finished so the lines look clean.
Your partExpect some dust and noise — we contain it and clean up daily.
The visible details that make it feel like part of your home.
Walls and ceilings are primed and painted, doors are hung, and baseboards and casing are installed and finished.
Your partConfirm paint colors on the wall sample before the final coats.
Flooring goes down, bathroom tile is set and grouted, and bars, kitchenettes, shelving or media walls are installed.
Your partKeep pets and kids out of finished floors while they cure.
Light fixtures, switches, plumbing fixtures, vanities, hardware and accessories are installed, tested and adjusted.
Your partNothing needed from you.
You walk through, we make it perfect.
We walk the whole space together, note anything you want touched up, and fix it. Final inspections are completed where required, and the space is cleaned top to bottom.
Your partTake your time and point out anything at all — that is what the walkthrough is for.
Often yes, but the water has to be dealt with first. We look at where moisture is coming from and fix it before anything is built over it.
Most basement remodels do. We handle the paperwork and the inspections for you.
Yes. The work happens downstairs, we protect your floors and stairs, and we clean up every day.
Yes. That is part of the design stage — we show you where each one fits in 3D before you commit.
Your first visit is free, and so is the 3D design when you build with us.
Get a free estimateSee starting pricesA kitchen touches almost every trade in a house, which is why it needs one team and one plan. Here is the whole process in order, including the waiting periods most people never hear about until they are in the middle of one.
Layout and selections first, so every trade works from one plan.
We visit your home, measure the room, note where plumbing, gas, venting and electrical are now, and listen to how you actually cook, entertain and use the space.
Your partTell us what drives you crazy about your kitchen today — that is the most useful thing we can hear.
We draw your new kitchen in 3D: where the range, sink and refrigerator go, how the island works, how many people can move around it, and how it connects to the rest of the house.
Your partReview the design with us and change anything. Layout changes are free on paper and expensive once cabinets are ordered.
You choose cabinets, countertops, backsplash, flooring, lighting, faucet and hardware. Appliance models are confirmed now so cutouts and utilities are exact.
Your partSelections are the longest part for most homeowners — start early.
Everything goes into a clear written proposal. Once you approve it, we order cabinets and materials. Cabinets and stone often take several weeks, so we line up the schedule around them.
Your partApprove the proposal and confirm the start date.
Protect the house and set up a kitchen you can live with.
We handle permit paperwork where required, set up dust barriers and floor protection, and plan the route in and out of your home.
Your partPack up the contents of the kitchen. We will tell you what to set aside for your temporary kitchen.
Old cabinets, counters, flooring and backsplash come out. Appliances are disconnected and plumbing and electrical are capped safely. Debris is hauled away.
Your partSet up a temporary kitchen with a microwave, coffee maker and cooler or small fridge in another room.
Walls, wiring and plumbing — the layers behind the beauty.
If your design removes or opens a wall, the structural work is done to plan, with proper support. New soffits, pantry walls and openings are framed.
Your partNothing needed from you.
New water and drain lines, dedicated circuits for appliances, outlets, under-cabinet and recessed lighting, and range hood venting are installed while the walls are open.
Your partLast chance to add outlets, lighting or a pot filler before the walls close.
Where required, the rough work is inspected before it is covered.
Your partNothing needed from you.
Walls and ceilings are insulated where needed, drywall is repaired or hung, taped and finished, then primed. Flooring is installed or prepared.
Your partConfirm paint color on the wall before the final coats.
Cabinets, counters and the details you notice every day.
Cabinets are set level and plumb, secured and aligned so doors and drawers line up. Crown, toe-kicks and trim follow.
Your partWalk through the cabinet layout once the boxes are in — you will see the kitchen for the first time.
Once the cabinets are set, the stone fabricator measures exact templates. The counters are cut to fit, then installed a short time later.
Your partYou cannot use the sink during this window, so plan a short stretch of simple meals.
Tile or backsplash goes in around the counters, then plumbing fixtures, outlets, switches, lighting and hardware are installed.
Your partNothing needed from you.
Appliances are set, connected and tested. Hood, dishwasher, range and refrigerator are checked to make sure everything works as it should.
Your partHave your appliances delivered on the date we give you.
Final inspection, punch list, and your first dinner.
We walk the kitchen with you, adjust doors and drawers, touch up paint and caulk, and fix anything on your list. Final inspections are completed where required and the home is cleaned.
Your partTest everything. Run the faucet, open every drawer, turn on every light.
Yes. Most families do. We contain dust, protect your floors and clean up every day. Many people set up a small temporary kitchen in another room.
The kitchen is fully out of use during demolition and most of construction. Your schedule will tell you the exact weeks. Ordering time for cabinets and counters happens before demolition, so it does not add to the time without a kitchen.
Often yes. Moving plumbing, gas or venting changes the scope, so we plan it in the design stage and price it clearly in the proposal.
No. We coordinate every trade under one contract, so you deal with one team.
Your first visit is free, and so is the 3D design when you build with us.
Get a free estimateSee starting pricesA bathroom is small, but it has more trades per square foot than any other room. The difference between a bathroom that looks good for a year and one that lasts for decades is what happens behind the tile. Here is the process, step by step.
Every decision made before demolition starts.
We measure the room, look at the existing plumbing, ventilation and electrical, and talk about how you use the bathroom — who uses it, how you shower, and what is not working.
Your partTell us what you want more of: storage, space, light, a bigger shower.
We draw your new bathroom in 3D. You choose tile, vanity, tub or shower, glass, fixtures, lighting and accessories, so you can see how everything works together.
Your partBring pictures of bathrooms you like. They help more than descriptions.
Everything goes into a clear written proposal with scope, price and schedule. Once you approve, we order tile, vanity, fixtures and any special items.
Your partApprove the proposal and confirm the start date.
Open it up and find out what is really behind the walls.
We protect floors and the path through your home, then remove the old tub or shower, tile, vanity, toilet and flooring down to the framing.
Your partPlan where to shower for a few weeks — a second bathroom, a gym membership, or a quick plan with a neighbor.
With everything open, we check the subfloor and walls for water damage or rot and repair them. Surprises are handled before we build anything new.
Your partNothing needed from you.
New shower valve and drain, supply lines, outlets, lighting circuits and the exhaust fan are installed, then inspected where required.
Your partLast chance to move a light, add an outlet, or add a recessed niche.
The most important step of the whole project.
Cement board goes on the walls and floor, then a waterproof membrane system, such as Schluter, is installed over every surface that will get wet. Corners, niches and the drain are sealed.
Your partNothing needed from you — but ask to see it. It is the one step that will be buried forever.
The shower pan is filled with water and monitored to prove it holds before any tile is set.
Your partNothing needed from you.
Heated floor cable goes in if you chose it. Tile is laid out so the lines look right, then set on the walls, floor and niche, and grouted and sealed.
Your partLook at the layout before grouting. This is when small adjustments are easy.
Paint, fixtures and glass bring it all together.
Walls and ceiling are finished, primed and painted. Doors and trim are installed.
Your partConfirm the paint color.
The vanity and top are set, the toilet is installed, and faucets, shower trim, lights, mirrors and accessories are all installed and tested.
Your partNothing needed from you.
Custom glass is measured after the tile is finished and installed a short time later. Hardware and seals are adjusted so it closes properly.
Your partYou may need to wait a few days before the first full shower while the glass is made.
Walk it, test it, enjoy it.
We walk the finished bathroom together, test every fixture, and fix anything on your list. Final inspections are completed where required and everything is cleaned.
Your partRun the shower, flush the toilet, turn on every light and fan.
For most of the project. Your schedule will show the exact weeks. If you only have one bathroom, tell us at the first visit and we will plan around it.
Yes. It is one of our most popular projects, and we show it in 3D before you commit.
A shower with no step up, so the floor flows from the bathroom into the shower. It looks clean, and it is easier to use.
Many bathroom remodels need one, especially when plumbing or electrical is changed. We handle the paperwork and inspections.

HSC HomeServe Construction was founded by Jerry Jankowski, who started in construction in 2004 and opened Jerry’s Remodeling as a solo handyman, learning the trade hands-on through kitchens and bathrooms. In 2013 the business became HSC HomeServe Construction, taking on commercial projects along the way. Over time we made a deliberate choice to focus on what we do best: kitchens, bathrooms, and basements.
Every project starts with a plan. Remodeling a home is like a road trip: you know the destination, but there are many routes to get there. That is why 3D design is part of every project — it grew out of necessity, so you can see the vision clearly before anything is built, avoiding confusion and keeping the path simple. It is also why we treat every customer as a partner, working together to turn your vision into something real.
Start your projectA clear, guided path from your first phone call to the day we hand you the keys to your new space.
We learn about your project, goals, and budget to see if we're the right fit, then schedule your design consultation.
Your designer visits your home to understand your space, your style, and how you want to live in it.
We take precise measurements and photos, then begin developing initial layout and design concepts.
See your project come to life in 3D renderings, and work with your designer to refine every detail.
Choose cabinetry, countertops, tile, and fixtures with your designer, guided by your 3D design, to complete your finished look.
Your project manager walks the space with you, confirms every detail, and locks in your schedule.
Our crews handle permits, materials, and daily cleanup while you get regular updates on progress.
We complete a final inspection together, and every project is backed by our workmanship warranty.

Kitchen remodels start at $27,500 for a same-layout kitchen (70–100 sq ft), $32,500 when the layout changes, and $42,500 when walls are opened and everything is custom. Larger kitchens cost more, and your final number comes from your 3D drawings and your finishes. Appliances are not included. The Pricing page lists every level and size.
Bathroom remodels start at $14,999 for a 3-fixture hall bathroom with the same layout, $22,500 when we take it down to the studs, and $27,500 for a new layout with premium finishes. Larger bathrooms and primary suites cost more. The Pricing page shows each size.
Basement finishing starts at $47,500 for 500–700 sq ft with a bathroom, and goes up with size and with extras like a media wall, wet bar, theater or bedroom suite. The Pricing page lists the Bronze, Silver and Gold levels for every size.
Starting prices include labor, rough materials and a finish allowance for the tile, fixtures and finishes you pick with us. They do not include permits and architect fees, appliances, structural changes, code corrections to existing systems, mold or asbestos remediation, or moving plumbing or electrical beyond what the level lists. Anything we find behind the walls is priced separately and never started without your OK.
The first visit and estimate are free. The 3D design, a full Chief Architect design with renderings, floor plan and elevations, is free when you build with us.
Yes, through Acorn Finance, a lending marketplace where you can compare offers from several lenders. Loans go up to $100,000 with terms up to 20 years. Pre-qualifying takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check. Your rate and term are set by the lender.
On site, a bathroom takes about 3–5 weeks, a kitchen about 6–10 weeks, and a basement about 8–12 weeks, depending on size and scope. Cabinets, stone, tile and glass are ordered ahead, so ordering time comes before the start date.
Yes. Most families do. We protect your floors and stairs, contain dust and clean up every day. For a kitchen, most people set up a small temporary kitchen in another room. If you have only one bathroom, tell us at the first visit and we will plan around it.
It runs in eight steps: a discovery call, a design consultation at your home, measuring and a first concept, a 3D design review, material selections, a pre-construction walk, construction, and a final walkthrough with your warranty. You get one point of contact from the first call to the last.
The same crew is on site from demolition through the final walkthrough. Plumbing and electrical are done by licensed plumbers and electricians, and everything is handled under one contract.
Before anything is built, we draw your room in Chief Architect: 3D renderings, a floor plan and elevations. You see the layout, finishes and lighting and can change anything on paper, where changes are free.
Many remodels do, especially when plumbing, electrical or structure changes. We handle the permit paperwork and schedule the inspections where they are required. Permit fees are not included in starting prices.
Yes. HSC HomeServe Construction is licensed and insured, plumbing and electrical are done by licensed plumbers and electricians on every job, and a certificate of insurance is available on request.
Every project is backed by a 5-year workmanship warranty.
Often yes. Moving plumbing, gas or venting changes the scope, so we plan it in the design stage and price it clearly in your written proposal.
The kitchen is out of use during demolition and most of construction, and your schedule shows the exact weeks. Ordering time for cabinets and counters happens before demolition, so it does not add to the time without a kitchen.
No. We coordinate every trade under one contract, so you deal with one team.
Cabinets are usually the biggest single line in a kitchen, often around a third of the total. The grade you pick (stock, semi-custom or custom) moves the number the most. We show the options side by side in your proposal.
Stock cabinets come in set sizes and finishes, semi-custom let you change sizes and details, and custom cabinets are built to your room. Stock is the lowest price and custom the highest. Semi-custom is a common middle choice, and lead times are longer as you move up.
Refacing can make sense when your layout stays the same and the cabinet boxes are in good shape. If the layout changes or the boxes are damaged, new cabinets are usually the better value. We look at yours at the free estimate and tell you honestly.
Quartz is engineered, non-porous and does not need sealing. Granite is natural, handles heat well and may need sealing from time to time. Both are durable, so it usually comes down to look and budget. We can bring samples to your home.
Stone counters are measured after the cabinets are installed, then fabricated and installed. That step takes time, so we build it into your schedule. Your sink and cooktop choices need to be final before the measurement.
About 42 inches of clear walkway on each working side is a common target, and about 48 inches if two people cook at once. We test this in your 3D design before anything is ordered.
An island needs room to walk all the way around it. A peninsula attaches to a wall or cabinet run and fits smaller or narrower kitchens. Your room size and layout decide, and your 3D design shows both.
Often yes. First we find out whether the wall is load-bearing. If it is, it needs a properly sized beam and usually a permit, which changes the scope and price. This is the kind of job in our $42,500 starting tier, where walls are opened.
When the layout allows, the hood should vent to the outside rather than recirculate air back into the kitchen. The duct route is part of the design stage, because it affects cabinets, walls and ceilings.
Yes. An electric or induction range needs its own 240-volt circuit, and the gas line is capped safely if it is no longer used. We plan this at the design stage and put it in your written proposal.
Yes, if they fit the new layout. Tell us at the first visit so we design around their exact sizes. Appliances are not included in our starting prices, whether you keep yours or buy new ones.
Early. Cabinets and counters are built around the exact size of your appliances, so we want the model numbers before ordering the cabinets. We will tell you when in the schedule to buy.
New electrical work is done to current code and inspected where required. Fixing existing wiring that is not part of the work is priced separately, and we tell you before anything is started.
The common layouts are L-shaped, U-shaped, galley and island kitchens. The room, the windows and doors, and how you cook decide which works best. We draw your options in 3D so you can compare before committing.
Most kitchens work best with three layers: general lighting from the ceiling, task lighting under the cabinets, and accent or pendant lights over an island. Planning the wiring early is much cheaper than adding it later.
Pull-out trays, deep drawers for pots, a trash pull-out, a tall pantry and soft-close hardware are the upgrades people use every day. We show where they fit when we draw your cabinets.
The standard is the counter to the bottom of the upper cabinets. Running tile to the ceiling behind a range or hood is a popular look. We price each option when we go over selections.
It happens in older homes: old wiring, plumbing or water damage. We stop, show you, and price the fix separately. Nothing extra is started without your OK.
Changes are free on paper during the 3D design stage. After construction starts, a change is written up with its price before the work is done, so you always know the cost first.
Start with the free estimate at your home. Then we draw your 3D design, pick materials together and put everything in a written proposal. Starting prices on the Pricing page are a guide, and the final number comes from your design and finishes.
Yes. It is one of our most popular projects, and we show it in 3D before you commit.
A shower with no step up, so the floor flows from the bathroom into the shower. It looks clean and is easier to use at any age.
We install cement board and a waterproof membrane system, such as Schluter, over every surface that gets wet. Corners, niches and the drain are sealed, and the shower pan is flood-tested before any tile is set.
Plan on about 3–5 weeks on site for a typical bathroom, plus ordering time for tile, vanity and glass before we start. If it is your only bathroom, tell us at the first visit and we will plan around it.
A walk-in shower is easier to use and looks more open. If it is your only tub in the house, or you have young kids, keeping a tub can matter for resale and daily life. We can draw both in 3D.
A built-in shelf recessed into the shower wall so bottles do not sit on the floor or hang from a rack. It needs to be framed and waterproofed carefully because it has many corners. We choose the size and position with you in the design.
Frameless glass has no metal around the panels and looks cleaner. Framed glass costs less and is more forgiving of small wall differences. Custom glass is measured after the tile is done, so we plan that step in the schedule.
Large tiles mean fewer grout lines, so the surface looks cleaner and is easier to wipe down. They need a flat surface, and the layout has to be planned so you avoid thin cuts at walls. We plan the layout before tile is set.
Yes. An electric heating mat goes under the tile and needs its own circuit and a thermostat. It is easiest to add during a remodel while the floor is open.
Almost always a good idea. Bathrooms need a fan that vents outside, not into the attic, to control humidity and prevent mold. We size it for the room and put it in your proposal.
If the room is wide enough, yes. A double vanity also needs both drains and supply lines. We check the space in 3D first, and you will see whether a double fits comfortably.
Standard vanities are lower, and comfort-height vanities are closer to kitchen counter height. Tall adults often prefer the taller one. We help you choose with your height and your family in mind.
If you want the option now or later, yes. Solid blocking inside the wall lets bars be installed anywhere, and it is much easier to add while the walls are open. It costs little at the framing stage.
Look for tile with a textured finish, and smaller tiles with more grout lines grip better on a wet shower floor. We will help you balance safety and look when we go through selections.
Cement grout is the standard choice and should be sealed. Epoxy grout resists stains and moisture better and costs more to install. For a shower we will go over which suits your budget and use.
When the wall is open, replacing an old valve is a smart move because it is cheap now and expensive later. We look at your pipes during demolition and recommend what to change.
Comfort-height toilets sit higher and are easier to use. Elongated bowls are more comfortable than round. We check clearances in the design so the toilet fits the space properly.
Sometimes, by borrowing space from a closet or neighboring room. Moving walls affects plumbing, electrical and sometimes structure, so we look at it during the design stage. That is the work in our $27,500 new-layout level.
Yes, with licensed plumbers and electricians on every job, all under one contract with us. You do not have to hire them separately.
Light at the mirror from both sides, or a lit mirror, avoids shadows on your face. A light inside the shower is common for walk-in showers. Everything near water has to be rated for it. We plan this with your design.
They are removed during demolition and taken out of your home. Your project schedule shows the day demolition starts.
Moving fixtures changes the plumbing and sometimes the floor framing, so the price goes up. Keeping fixtures where they are is the lowest-cost option. We show both choices in your written proposal.
It is a larger bathroom, often with a double vanity, a bigger shower, a soaking tub and sometimes a closet or dressing area. Pricing starts with larger sizes on our Pricing page, and the design decides the final number.
Often yes, but the water has to be dealt with first. We look at where moisture is coming from and fix it before anything is built over it.
Most do. We handle the paperwork, and the rough work is inspected before the walls are closed where required.
Yes. That is part of the design stage, and we show you where each one fits in 3D before you commit. A basement bedroom needs a proper egress window, which is easiest to plan from day one.
Building codes set a minimum finished ceiling height, commonly around 7 feet, and your village's rule decides. We measure at the free estimate and tell you if ducts or beams are an issue.
Yes. Radon is common in northern Illinois homes, and the test is inexpensive. If the level is high, a mitigation system is much easier to install before the walls are finished.
We find where moisture comes in and fix that first. After that, the walls and floor are built with materials that handle moisture, such as moisture-resistant subfloor products. Nothing should be built over an active water problem.
Luxury vinyl plank and tile handle moisture well and are the most common choices. Solid hardwood glued directly to concrete is not a good idea. We pick the right floor system with you based on the conditions.
The pump stays accessible. We build around it so it can be serviced and checked. We also plan access to the main shutoff and cleanouts.
Yes. Mechanical equipment is kept accessible with access panels or doors, and enough clearance is left around it. It also has to meet code, so we plan it into the design.
A drywall ceiling looks cleaner and more finished. A drop ceiling makes access to pipes, valves and wiring easier. Some basements use a drywall ceiling with access panels in the right spots. We show both in your design.
Soffits and boxed-in sections hide them, and the layout is planned so they land in places you will not notice, such as along walls or over a closet. We measure and draw this before building.
The walls are insulated to keep the room from feeling cold, and heating and cooling supply is extended into the new space. Your design shows where vents and returns go.
Yes. If the drain is below the main sewer line, an ejector pump lifts waste up. Otherwise we cut the concrete and run new drain lines to the existing line. Our $47,500 starting price for 500–700 sq ft includes a bathroom.
Yes. A bar with a sink needs water supply and a drain, so it is planned with the plumbing. Without a sink, it is simpler and costs less. A wet bar is one of the extras listed on the Pricing page.
We plan seating, screen position and wiring early. Insulation in the ceiling and walls helps with sound, and dark finishes help the picture. Your design shows where speakers, outlets and the screen go.
A feature wall that holds the TV, often with built-in lighting, an electric fireplace or shelving. It is planned with the electrical so the cords are hidden.
Often yes, but not always. A finished basement adds lights, outlets and sometimes a bar, bathroom or theater. A licensed electrician checks your panel and tells us if it needs work.
Code requires working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms, and a finished basement usually needs them added. We include them in the electrical plan and the inspector checks them.
Stairs and railings have to meet code for rise, run, handrails and headroom. We check yours at the free estimate and tell you if anything needs to change.
Yes. Many homeowners finish a family room and bathroom and leave a storage or laundry area unfinished. We plan the finished space and keep mechanicals accessible.
It adds usable living space, and many buyers like it. The return depends on your market and the quality of the work. We cannot promise a number, and it is worth asking a local real estate agent.
Any basement bedroom needs an egress window or door, and many areas require one for a finished basement with living space. We check the code with your village and plan the window opening in the design.

Get a free estimateA dated bathroom with an almond tub and oak vanity, taken down to the framing and rebuilt.
This Gurnee bathroom started with an almond tub and shower surround, an oak vanity and a toilet nook with a tile floor.
We opened the walls down to the framing, set a new tub and ran new supply lines. Then we framed a niche, waterproofed the shower walls and tiled the floor.
The finished room has a tiled tub wall with a lit stainless niche, a matching toilet nook and a navy double vanity with backlit mirrors.

Get a free estimateA complete master bedroom remodel: ceiling and walls taken out and rebuilt, new insulation, recessed lighting and a custom closet with four-panel sliding doors.
This Hanover Park master bedroom was a complete remodel. We took out the entire ceiling and the walls, so the room was open down to the framing.
With everything open, we re-insulated the ceiling and the walls, then rebuilt them. New recessed lights went into the ceiling, and the room got wood-look plank flooring and fresh paint, including a blue accent wall.
Then we built a custom closet with shelving and hanging space, and covered the whole wall with four-panel sliding doors so everything stays easy to reach.

Get a free estimateThe old bathroom comes out, the walls open up and new supply lines go in.
On this Gurnee bathroom we removed the old tub surround, vanity and finishes and took the toilet nook down to the subfloor. With the walls open, we ran new supply lines before anything was closed back up.
Opening the walls is the first real look at what is behind them: old pipes, past leaks, rot or wiring that is not up to code. It is far cheaper to find and fix those things now than after new tile is on the wall.
If we find something that was not in the plan, we tell you and price it separately. Nothing extra is started without your OK.

Get a free estimateThe new tub goes in level and supported before the walls are closed.
The new tub is set and the framing around it is ready. The blue film on the tub is a protective cover that stays on until the work around it is finished. The insulation in the walls is visible before the wall surface goes up.
A tub has to sit level and fully supported, or it will flex, crack caulk lines and eventually leak. Setting it while the walls are open lets us check level, connect the drain and confirm everything is tight before it is covered up.

Get a free estimateNew wall board, a framed niche and a waterproofing layer behind the tile.
New wall board went up and the shower niche was framed in. The shower walls were then covered with an orange waterproofing membrane, including the seams and the niche, before any tile was set.
Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own. Water gets through grout lines, so the layer behind the tile is what protects the wall. Most shower failures start with water behind the tile, not with the tile itself.
Niches are the weakest spot in a shower because they have many corners and seams. That is why we seal them carefully before tiling.

Large-format floor tile went in over the prepared floor. The yellow pieces in the photo are leveling clips that hold neighboring tiles flush while the setting material cures.
Large tiles show every dip in the floor. A flat floor, a planned layout and a leveling system keep the edges even, so you do not catch a toe on a raised corner. Planning the layout first also avoids thin sliver cuts along the walls and at the tub.
The finished tub wall and the lit niche came after the floor. You can see the finished room on the project page.

Why put your plans on hold for years? Financing lets you start your new kitchen, bathroom, or basement now, enjoy it sooner, and pay for it over time.
We finance the things that matter most to us without hesitating: the car, the lifestyle, the house. Few matter more than the space your family lives in every day. Your kitchen, bathroom, and basement are where your family gathers, grows, and makes memories.
Checking your options takes about a minute and does not affect your credit score.
