Overview
What a bathroom remodel in Evanston includes
Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling is a Lake Forest-based design-build firm serving the North Shore and nearby Chicagoland. In Evanston we remodel bathrooms in Victorian homes, with bathroom investment from $18,000 to $45,000.
Good bathroom design in Evanston starts with the architecture and the existing room. Local projects often start with this condition: Original Victorian and Craftsman-era bathrooms alongside basic post-war layouts in smaller homes. We decide what to keep, what to rebuild, and where to add light, storage, waterproofing, and material weight that fits the rest of the house.

Evanston specifics
What makes bathroom remodeling in Evanston different
Mix of single-family homes, multi-unit buildings, condos, and historic mansions
Local condition
Condo kitchen and bathroom remodeling
Evanston's condo market is active, and unit owners want modern kitchens and bathrooms within the constraints of condo association rules and shared walls.
Local condition
Maximizing small bathroom spaces
Many Evanston homes, especially bungalows and two-flats, have very small bathrooms that need creative design to feel larger and more functional.
Worth planning for
The bathroom is too small for the household
Compact bathrooms in Evanston condos and townhomes need every inch of vanity, shower, and storage planned precisely. If there is no room to open the door without hitting the vanity, layout is the first problem.
Worth planning for
Ventilation and waterproofing are failing
Smaller enclosed bathrooms in Evanston are especially vulnerable to moisture buildup. Persistent mildew or grout failure means a full rebuild of the substrate and ventilation. New tile over a failing substrate fails again within a few years.
Delta has designed and built across the North Shore since 1987. See everything we build in this city on the Evanston service area page.

FAQ
Bathroom Remodeling in Evanston: common questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Evanston?
The current planning range for bathroom remodeling in Evanston is 3–6 weeks for construction and 5–12 weeks from design through completion. Waterproofing, tile installation, plumbing changes, and existing conditions shape the schedule. The project schedule is confirmed after design, selections, and scope are defined.
What does a bathroom remodel in Evanston typically cost?
Evanston bathroom remodels typically fall between $18,000 and $45,000. Pricing is shaped by tile coverage, plumbing relocation, shower design, custom storage, and finish level. Every project is priced after an in-home visit.
Do you handle permits for bathroom work in Evanston?
Yes. City of Evanston Permit Desk at the Morton Civic Center, 909 Davis Street, 1st floor. The City operates an online Citizen Portal for residential permits and typically processes them within two to three weeks. All contractors working in Evanston must be registered with the City before pulling a permit. We submit the permit set, coordinate inspections, and close out the project so homeowners never deal with the building department directly.
Can you preserve original details in a Evanston bathroom?
When original tile, millwork, or fixtures in a 1890s-1950s Evanston home still belong in the room, we plan the remodel around them. When they do not, we source period-appropriate replacements that read as part of the house rather than a generic upgrade.

What a difference! Our kitchen feels brand new, and the design is perfect for our needs. Highly recommend!
I can not say enough positive things about the experience working with Kasia and Sebastian. They are top notch! Knowledgeable , professional, hard working, honest and fairly priced. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a job done. Also, I should mention they are timely and when they say they will be there, they really mean it. Our kitchen turned out beautiful and I am thrilled with the quality as well.
Rebuild of chimney from the roof line up. From all that I can tell / inspect, they have done an excellent quality job, complete with new concrete topper. Yes, I recommend Delta Remodeling for masonry / Tuck-pointing work. Rick.
Delta helped us gut and restore our dated master bathroom. They were extremely helpful in rolling with the various changes that we had to make along the way and being patient as we took a break to figure out some last minute changes to our design. If there was one thing they could have done better, it would be forcing us to be more organized so we wouldn't have had to take a break when things didn't go as planned. If you're looking for flexibility and a make anything work attitude, Delta is the company for your project.
