Darien, Illinois
For a Darien family, a basement bathroom is usually about function: kids in the rec room, guests on the pull-out, one less line for the upstairs shower. Much of the town's 70s through 90s housing stock has no rough-in, so an ejector system typically carries the plumbing.
We keep these builds practical. A clean three-piece bath with a tiled shower, sensible fixtures, and an itemized quote with no vague allowances. Permits handled, licensed and insured, and most bathroom projects fold into a 6 to 12 week basement build.
It starts with a free in-home design consultation. We measure your basement, check moisture and mechanicals, and talk through how you want the space to live. You get a design and an itemized quote, we handle permits and inspections, and one team runs the build from the first cut to the final walkthrough. Most projects take 6 to 12 weeks of construction.
Yes. Ejector pumps are standard equipment across older Darien homes and are built for daily toilet, shower, and sink use. We install sealed, vented basins with quality pumps, and the work is inspected under permit. Like any pump it eventually wears, and replacement is a straightforward service call years down the road.
That is the point of an itemized quote. You see the plumbing, tile, fixtures, and ventilation as separate lines, so trimming scope is a real option, a standard shower instead of custom tile, for example. We also flag where cutting would hurt, like waterproofing and exhaust, which are not negotiable.
Often. Plenty of Darien basements have a cramped bath from the 80s with a plastic shower stall and no real ventilation. We rebuild them with waterproofed tile, better layouts, and proper exhaust, reusing sound drainage where possible. Many families pair the bath remodel with refreshing the rest of the basement.
