Snap Reno provides full-service bathroom remodeling in Niles, IL, for homeowners across Cook County and the Northwest Chicago suburbs. Whether you’re dealing with an outdated 1970s bathroom that needs a complete gut renovation, a cramped layout that wastes space, or a tub you want converted to a walk-in shower, our in-house crew handles every stage, design, permits, demolition, construction, and finishing, with no subcontractors and no handoffs to third parties.
Our bathroom remodeling services cover every scope and budget. Here’s what we handle in-house on every project:
Complete gut renovations including demolition, framing, waterproofing, plumbing rough-in, electrical updates, tile, flooring, vanity, fixtures, and all finish work. Ideal for bathrooms that haven’t been updated in 15+ years or spaces where the layout no longer works for how you live.
We also handle interior and exterior painting as part of complete bathroom renovations, where walls need repainting after tile work.
One of the most requested bathroom remodeling projects in Niles, removing an unused bathtub and replacing it with a walk-in shower. We handle the plumbing reconfiguration, waterproofing membrane, tile surround, glass enclosure, and all fixtures in one continuous project.
Improper waterproofing is the single most common cause of long-term bathroom damage in older Niles homes. We install a full waterproofing membrane behind all wet areas before any tile goes up, floor tile, wall tile, and shower surrounds, ensuring the structure behind the surface is protected for the long term. Tile selection, layout, grouting, and sealing are all handled by our in-house crew.

We install semi-custom and full-custom vanities sized to your bathroom’s exact dimensions, with storage configurations designed around how you actually use the space. Double vanities, floating vanities, built-in linen storage, and medicine cabinet installations are all within scope.
Most Niles homes built between the 1960s and 1980s have smaller bathrooms, typically 5×8 or less, where every inch of layout matters. We specialize in small bathroom remodeling that uses space-expanding layouts, recessed storage, and properly scaled fixtures to make compact bathrooms feel significantly larger and more functional.
When your current layout doesn’t work, toilet placement, door swing conflicts, poor natural light, inadequate storage, we redesign the floor plan within your existing footprint or with minor structural changes. We handle all necessary plumbing relocations and wall modifications in-house.
Vanity lighting, recessed ceiling fixtures, exhaust fan replacement, and mirror lighting all get addressed in a proper bathroom remodel. Lighting in bathrooms affects both function and how the space feels. We work with your electrician or coordinate the work ourselves, depending on the project scope.
For Niles homeowners planning for aging-in-place or accessibility needs, we install barrier-free walk-in showers, grab bars, comfort-height toilets, and non-slip flooring. These projects follow ADA-compliant specifications and are increasingly common in the ranch and split-level homes throughout Niles and Morton Grove.

Yes, a bathroom remodel is consistently one of the highest-return home improvement investments in the Chicagoland market. Mid-range bathroom remodels typically return 60–70% of their cost as added resale value in Cook County. Full master bathroom renovations in Niles homes priced between $350,000 and $500,000 often return even higher percentages because updated bathrooms are a primary deciding factor for buyers in that price range.
Beyond resale, a properly remodeled bathroom eliminates ongoing maintenance costs from aging plumbing, cracked tile, and deteriorating waterproofing, issues common in Niles homes of a certain age.
