Orland Park, Illinois
Plenty of Orland Park basements already have a bathroom. The problem is that it was built in 1988. The paneling-and-drop-ceiling lower levels common in Orland Park's huge stock of 80s and 90s homes often include cramped baths with plastic shower inserts and builder-grade everything, and they date the whole floor. We gut and rebuild those bathrooms as part of larger basement remodels, and we also add first-time bathrooms to basements that never had one, using existing drain lines wherever they exist.
Because most of this work changes plumbing and electrical, the Village of Orland Park requires permits, and unpermitted bathroom work is one of the most common problems we uncover in older finished basements here. We pull the permit, build to code, and walk the inspections. The rebuilt bathroom gets a tiled walk-in shower, a modern vanity, real exterior ventilation instead of a fan blowing into the joists, and heated floors if you want them. Free in-home consultations, itemized quotes, and 6 to 10 week typical builds. Call (815) 217-9050.
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 10 weeks of construction.
Usually, yes. If the original builder ran drains and supply lines in the 80s or 90s, that plumbing infrastructure is the expensive part and it is already there. We typically keep the locations, replace everything visible and most of what is not, and bring ventilation and electrical up to current code. Your itemized quote shows the comparison plainly.
It matters at resale and it can matter for insurance. We see this often in Orland Park. During a remodel we bring the work up to current code and take it through village permits and inspections properly, which resolves the history. It is one of the stronger arguments for remodeling a dated basement bathroom rather than leaving it alone.
Yes, whenever plumbing or electrical changes, which covers essentially every bathroom remodel or addition. The Village of Orland Park reviews the plans and inspects at rough-in and final. We handle the submittal, the scheduling, and the inspection visits on every project, so the permit process runs in the background while the build moves forward.
