Schedule Your Free Bathroom ConsultationKitchens get remodeled because families use them all day. Basements get finished because families need the space. Bathrooms get pushed off because they still "work." The faucet runs. The toilet flushes. The shower drains. So the project stays on the someday list, even when the tile is cracked, the vanity is too small, the lighting makes the room feel dark, and the layout wastes space that a better design would reclaim.
In Elmhurst, where the median home was built in 1964, most bathrooms have had minimal updates in decades. The original layouts were designed for a different era: small single vanities, combination tub/showers with tile surrounds that are showing their age, basic overhead lighting, and no thought given to features like heated floors, frameless glass, or proper ventilation. Even bathrooms that were partially updated in the 1990s or 2000s are starting to feel dated again.
A bathroom remodel in Elmhurst is one of the highest-return projects you can do. In a market where homes regularly sell above $450,000, an updated primary bathroom is one of the first things buyers look for. More importantly, it is a room you use every single day. Getting it right means better function, better storage, better lighting, and a space that actually feels like it belongs in the home you are paying for.
LuxeLine Remodeling builds bathrooms at that level. Jason Neu, the owner and licensed general contractor, leads every bathroom project personally from consultation through final walkthrough.
Many Elmhurst bathrooms have layouts that waste square footage or prioritize a tub/shower combo that would function better as a standalone walk-in shower with a separate soaking tub (or no tub at all). Reconfiguring the layout to add a double vanity, expand the shower footprint, or create a dedicated water closet can change the room entirely. Layout changes typically require plumbing relocation and sometimes structural modifications, both of which LuxeLine coordinates as part of the project.
Walk-in showers have replaced tub/shower combos as the centerpiece of most primary bathroom renovations. We build curbless and curbed walk-in showers with frameless glass enclosures, built-in niches, bench seating, rain showerheads, handheld sprayers, and body jets. Proper waterproofing is the most critical element of any shower build, and we use liquid membrane systems and pre-formed shower pans on every installation.
Single vanities in primary bathrooms are one of the most common frustrations in Elmhurst homes. We install double vanities with natural stone or engineered quartz countertops, undermount sinks, and custom or semi-custom cabinetry. Drawer organizers, pullout trays, and built-in electrical outlets inside drawers make the vanity functional, not just attractive.
The tile defines the visual tone of the bathroom. We install floor tile, wall tile, shower wall and floor tile, accent tile, and stone surfaces. Options include porcelain, ceramic, natural marble, travertine, and large-format panels. Proper substrate preparation, waterproofing in wet areas, and precise layout are essential for results that hold up over time.
Radiant floor heating is one of the most requested features in Elmhurst bathroom remodels, especially given Chicago's winters. We install electric radiant heat mats under tile flooring with dedicated thermostats. The system adds minimal thickness to the floor and operates efficiently.
Most older Elmhurst bathrooms have a single overhead fixture and a noisy exhaust fan. A well-designed bathroom uses layered lighting: recessed ceiling lights for general illumination, vanity sconces or backlit mirrors for task lighting, and accent lighting in shower niches or under floating vanities. Ventilation is upgraded to a properly sized, quiet exhaust fan that prevents moisture buildup and protects finishes.
Bathroom remodels frequently involve moving drain lines, water supply lines, and vent stacks. If you are relocating the shower, switching from single to double vanity, or adding a freestanding tub, the plumbing changes are significant. We coordinate all plumbing before finish materials go in, with pressure testing and inspection before walls close up.
GFCI outlets at all required locations, dedicated circuits for heated floors, wiring for vanity lighting and shower lighting, and pre-wiring for heated towel bars or smart mirrors. Older Elmhurst homes sometimes need electrical panel evaluation to support the additional load.
Jason visits your Elmhurst home, walks your bathroom, measures the space, and listens to what you want to change. You leave with a written scope outline, a ballpark budget range, a proposed timeline, and Jason's direct phone number. He follows up within 24 hours with everything in writing.
We finalize the layout, fixture selections, tile and stone choices, vanity specifications, lighting plan, and hardware. You approve every material and design decision before demolition begins.
We pull permits through the Village of Elmhurst, order materials, confirm lead times, and build a detailed construction schedule.
Jason manages every trade on your job site: demolition, rough plumbing, electrical, waterproofing, backer board, tile and stone installation, vanity and countertop installation, fixture setting, lighting, painting, and hardware. We protect the rest of your home and clean up daily.
At each major phase (rough-in, waterproofing, tile layout, fixture placement, final finishes) we walk you through the work and get your approval before proceeding.
We inspect every surface, every grout line, every fixture, and every finish with you. If anything needs adjustment, we handle it before the project is complete. Your 24-month workmanship guarantee begins at this point.

A bathroom that looks beautiful but leaks behind the walls or under the floor is a failure regardless of how expensive the tile is. We use liquid membrane waterproofing systems, pre-formed shower pans, and proper drain assemblies on every wet-area installation. We pressure-test plumbing connections before walls close up. These are the details that separate a bathroom that lasts 20 years from one that develops mold in two.
Jason Neu leads every LuxeLine bathroom project. He is the licensed general contractor managing the trades, inspecting the waterproofing, checking the tile layout, and verifying that every fixture is set correctly. In a room where precision matters at every stage, owner involvement is not a luxury. It is a requirement.

In most Elmhurst primary bathroom remodels, a walk-in shower is the better choice. Tub/shower combos were standard when these homes were built, but most homeowners rarely use the tub for bathing. A walk-in shower with frameless glass, bench seat, and multiple showerheads is used daily and is the feature most in demand among current buyers. If you want a soaking tub, a freestanding model positioned separately is a more effective use of space.
Yes. In a bathroom with tile or stone flooring, radiant heat transforms the experience of the room during Chicago winters. The system adds minimal cost relative to the total project budget, operates efficiently, and is controlled by a dedicated thermostat. It is one of the most requested upgrades in Elmhurst bathroom remodels.
In most cases, yes. If your home has more than one bathroom, you use an alternate bathroom while the remodel is in progress. We protect adjacent areas from dust and debris and clean up daily. Jason will discuss logistics during your consultation.
Waterproofing. A bathroom that looks great but leaks behind the walls or under the floor will develop mold, damage framing, and require costly repairs. LuxeLine uses liquid membrane waterproofing systems, pre-formed shower pans, and proper drain assemblies on every project. We do not take shortcuts on the elements you cannot see after the tile is installed.
Yes. Bathroom remodels involving plumbing, electrical, or structural changes require permits through the Village of Elmhurst Building Department. LuxeLine handles all permitting and coordinates with the village's inspection schedule as part of your project.
