Bathroom Remodeling in the Geneva, IL Area

Most bathroom remodels with Hogan Design & Construction start at $30,000, and our 2026 Bathroom Pricing Guide breaks that into three remodeling levels so you can see where your project fits before you commit to anything. Once construction begins, most bathroom remodels take 3 to 8 weeks from demolition to final walk-through, and a typical full main bathroom runs about 5 to 7 weeks. Plan on several weeks of design and selections before demolition starts, and you will have a fixed price in hand before you sign a construction contract.

Hogan Design & Construction is a design-build remodeling firm founded in Geneva, Illinois, by Brian Hogan in 2000, serving Geneva, St. Charles, Batavia, and the western suburbs of Chicago from our office at 21 N. 6th St. Design-build means one team handles your architectural drawings, budgeting, and construction, so the price you approve on paper is the price your project is built to.

What Goes Into a Bathroom Remodel

A bathroom remodel is one of the most complex projects in a home. Tile, plumbing, electrical, ventilation, and finish carpentry all come together in a small footprint. Our designers and production team handle that complexity for you.

Initial Consultation

Every project starts with a free in-home visit. We listen to what isn’t working and what you want to change. We assess your plumbing, ventilation, and natural light to give you a realistic picture of what’s possible. You’ll have a ballpark estimate by the end of the visit, with no commitment.

Design and Planning

Our in-house designers lay out fixtures, vanities, and tilework in 3D so you can see the space before demo begins. We walk you through the cost difference between keeping your current plumbing footprint and relocating fixtures for a better layout.

Fixed-Price Proposal

Once your selections are complete, we lock in a fixed price before any work begins. If demo uncovers something unexpected, our Change Order process documents the issue, the solution, and the cost in writing for your approval before we proceed.

Construction

Your project manager coordinates the build and is your single point of contact. We install dust barriers, protect adjacent rooms, and post daily progress to BuilderTrend, our project management system.

Every bathroom we build is backed by our Limited Lifetime Warranty, well beyond the industry standard of one year.

Bathroom Projects We Handle

Not every bathroom remodel is the same scope. We work across the full spectrum, from surface refreshes to complete gut-and-rebuild projects.

Master Bath Renovation

The largest bathroom project a homeowner usually takes on. Often involves replacing a builder-grade tub-and-shower with a custom walk-in shower, expanding the vanity for dual sinks, and adding amenities like heated floors.

Hall and Guest Bath Update

A smaller refresh that updates the look and function without changing the layout. New vanity, fixtures, tilework, lighting, and paint.

Walk-In Shower and Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Common for homeowners staying in their homes long-term. We remove the tub, reframe the plumbing, and build a custom tile shower with a low curb or no curb at all. If you want accessibility features like a built-in bench or grab bars, our designers integrate them into the tile so they look like part of the original design.

Aging-in-place Bathrooms

Designed for comfortable daily use over many years. Wider doorways, ADA-height vanities, comfort-height toilets, and barrier-free showers. Our Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) works with you to balance accessibility with the look you want.

Common Bathroom Remodeling Questions

How Long Does A Bathroom Remodel Take?

Most bathroom remodels take 3 to 8 weeks of active construction, and a typical full main bathroom runs about 5 to 7 weeks from demolition to final walk-through. Before that, design, selections, permits, and scheduling take a few months, which is where we lock in the plan so construction moves without surprises. We give you a detailed schedule with step-by-step timeframes before demolition starts.

How Much Does A Bathroom Remodel Cost In The Geneva, Illinois Area?

Most of our bathroom remodels start at $30,000. Our 2026 Bathroom Pricing Guide lays out three remodeling levels based on local building costs and more than 25 years of our own project experience, so you can match a budget to the scope you have in mind. Because we estimate throughout the design phase, you will see a fixed price before you sign a construction contract, not a rough guess that grows later.

How Will We Shower During Construction?

Most families use a second bath in the home during the project. If you don’t have one, we plan options together at the initial consultation — a temporary shower setup or a phased schedule that keeps your shower usable for most of the project.

Do I Need A Permit For A Bathroom Remodel In Illinois?

Yes, in most cases. Any project that moves plumbing, gas, or electrical needs a permit in DuPage, Kane, and Cook counties. Paint and accessory swaps typically don’t. We handle the permit paperwork.

Can You Convert My Tub Into A Walk-In Shower?

Yes. This is one of our most-requested projects. We remove the tub, reframe the plumbing, install a complete waterproofing system, and tile a custom shower with the drainage slope and curb detail that make a curbless or low-curb shower last. Built-in benches, niches, and integrated grab bars are all options.

How Do You Handle Ventilation And Moisture?

Long-term moisture management is one of the most important parts of a bathroom remodel. We size exhaust fans properly for the room and install a complete waterproofing system behind the tile. These details aren’t visible after the project, but they’re why our bathrooms continue to perform well over many years.

Can We Stay In Our Home During The Remodel?

Yes, most of our clients live at home for the entire project. We contain the work area, protect the floors along the path to it, and keep the rest of your home fully usable throughout construction. Your project schedule tells you which days bring noise, water shutoffs, or trade crews, so there are no surprises on a school morning.

What Happens If You Find Problems Behind The Walls Of An Older Home?

Many of the homes we remodel in Geneva, St. Charles, and Batavia are older, so we plan for what the walls might hide. Outdated plumbing or wiring, past water damage, and similar issues get identified as early as possible during the design phase. On the rare occasion where unforeseen circumstances do come up, we price the fix, explain the options, and get your approval before the work continues.

Should We Keep Our Current Layout Or Change It?

If your layout already works, keeping the tub, toilet, and vanity where they are is the most budget-friendly path, because moving plumbing is one of the bigger line items in any bathroom. That said, some of our favorite projects came from moving fixtures, where a new layout made the whole room work better for the people who live there. During design we can price both directions side by side, so you decide with real numbers instead of guesswork.
