The masonary repairs to our chimney were excellent. The guys that did our project were first class. You could just tell that they took a lot of pride in their work and it showed on the finished job. I would highly recommend Delta Tuckpointing.

Overview
What a bathroom remodel in Wilmette includes
Delta - Bathroom and Kitchen Remodeling is a Lake Forest-based design-build firm serving the North Shore and nearby Chicagoland. In Wilmette we remodel bathrooms in Colonial Revival homes, with bathroom investment from $20,000 to $55,000.
Good bathroom design in Wilmette starts with the architecture and the existing room. Local projects often start with this condition: Hex tile floors, pedestal sinks, and cast-iron tubs typical of pre-war construction. 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.

Wilmette specifics
What makes bathroom remodeling in Wilmette different
Single-family homes, many 2-story Colonials and Cape Cods
Local condition
Updating pre-war bathrooms
Original bathrooms with dated tile, poor ventilation, and cramped layouts need full renovation while respecting the home's architectural character.
Local condition
Adding a second bathroom
Many older Wilmette homes have only one full bathroom. Growing families need a second bath or a primary suite addition.
Worth planning for
The hall bathroom serves too many people
1920s-1950s homes in Wilmette 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 Wilmette from the 1920s-1950s era often retain original tile colors, tub-shower combinations, and medicine cabinets. A full renovation resets the room from substrate to finishes.
Delta has designed and built across the North Shore since 1987. See everything we build in this city on the Wilmette service area page.

FAQ
Bathroom Remodeling in Wilmette: common questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take in Wilmette?
The current planning range for bathroom remodeling in Wilmette 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 Wilmette typically cost?
Wilmette bathroom remodels typically fall between $20,000 and $55,000. 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 Wilmette?
Yes. Village of Wilmette Community Development Department, which issues roughly 3,000 permits a year and also operates an Appearance Review Commission for exterior-facing changes. 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 Wilmette bathroom?
When original tile, millwork, or fixtures in a 1920s-1950s Wilmette 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.

Excellent job, Delta! Guys were efficient and good quality in their work. Also, I also got a quote from a different company and Delta was a couple thousand less. Way to go, Delta!

When hiring remodeling contractors, we chose a stellar team who converted our attic into a cozy, functional office space with incredible attention to detail and efficiency.
Delta Remodeling is hands down the best! They recently finished three bathrooms for our family. From the initial meeting with Kasia and Sebastian through the entire project with Robert and Irek completely remodeling the master bathroom, the kids bathroom and the powder room, they all worked with us to create three beautiful bathrooms. They are exactly what we wanted. We love it all. Kasia was always available to keep us up to date with what was happening and quickly answer any questins we had. Robert is a master craftsman who made sure everything was exactly how we liked it. We can confidently say that you could not find a better company to work with; we know that they only want us to feel good about the job they do. The are personal and professional in every sense of the word. That is why we did not hesitate to contract them to remodel our kitchen as well. We look forward to another positive experience with Delta Remodeling and Kasia, Sebastian, Robert and Irek. Thank you.
