I am very satisfied with the work that Delta did for my primary bathroom renovation. The contractors were very efficient and I was impressed with the care they took to protect my home while they worked, such as placing tarps over surfaces that they would be working around. Communication with them was great, I was able to get questions answered fast over text message or phone call. My project was completed in a timely manner and I have been enjoying the work they did very much! I would definitely be open to working with them again for additional for projects.

Overview
What a bathroom remodel in Highwood includes
Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling is a Lake Forest-based design-build firm serving the North Shore and nearby Chicagoland. In Highwood we remodel bathrooms in Bungalow homes, scoping each project to the home and finish level after an in-home visit.
Good bathroom design in Highwood starts with the architecture and the existing room. Local projects often start with this condition: Smaller bathrooms often need full-scope planning around shower/tub choice, vanity storage, ventilation, and easy-clean surfaces. 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.

Highwood specifics
What makes bathroom remodeling in Highwood different
Compact single-family homes, attached homes, and infill housing near Highland Park and Lake Michigan
Local condition
Bathroom storage and ventilation
Smaller baths need better vanities, medicine storage, shower planning, and ventilation to stay durable.
Worth planning for
The hall bathroom serves too many people
1920s-1980s homes in Highwood were often built with one or two bathrooms for the whole household. Expanding the vanity plan, improving the shower, or adding storage addresses the daily-use bottleneck.
Worth planning for
Tile and fixtures are from the original build
Post-war bathrooms in Highwood from the 1920s-1980s era often retain original tile colors, tub-shower combinations, and medicine cabinets. A full renovation resets the room from substrate to finishes.
Worth planning for
Moisture and ventilation issues keep returning
Persistent mildew, failing grout, or condensation in a compact Highwood bathroom usually means the waterproofing, substrate, or exhaust fan needs a structural fix. Surface repairs in that situation buy a year or two at best.
Delta has designed and built across the North Shore since 1987. See everything we build in this city on the Highwood service area page.

FAQ
Bathroom Remodeling in Highwood: common questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Highwood?
The current planning range for bathroom remodeling in Highwood 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 Highwood typically cost?
Highwood bathroom remodels are priced after an in-home visit. Cost depends on tile coverage, plumbing relocation, shower design, and finish level.
Do you handle permits for bathroom work in Highwood?
Yes. City of Highwood Building and Zoning Department, 17 Highwood Avenue, second floor, Highwood, IL 60040 (847-432-1924). Office hours Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. 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 Highwood bathroom?
When original tile, millwork, or fixtures in a 1920s-1980s Highwood 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.

Delta remodeled our master bathroom. The project was complex and involved moving the toilet, shower, removing a soaking tub, and replacing all the surfaces and cabinets. Delta did a fantastic job in an unusual room with lots of custom work. The project was completed a year ago and still looks great. Even better, Delta stands by their work. Several months after our bathroom project was completed, we had leaking in another area of our home which we thought could be connected to the bathroom work. The plumbing issue ended up being unrelated. However, when the leaking started, we called Delta for help. Two Delta folks were at our house within the hour to figure out what the problem was and help us get it solved. I was very impressed that they were so concerned in making sure their work was lasting and that we were happy with the new bathroom. We ended up hiring them to fix the additional plumbing issue because we knew they would do a good job.
Super impressed with their work! Our living space feels brand new. The crew was efficient, respectful, and paid attention to every detail. Highly recommend for any remodeling needs.
