Investing in Your Western Springs Bathroom: A Pricing Overview
Homes in Western Springs, with a median value around $685,000 and an average age of 70 years, often feature bathrooms that are well-preserved but ready for a modern touch. Our bathroom update service is specifically tailored for these scenarios, ranging from $7,500 to $20,000. This price point reflects a cosmetic refresh rather than a full structural bathroom remodel, which can quickly escalate in cost and complexity. For many Western Springs homeowners, this focused approach is ideal for updating an original bathroom or giving a secondary bath a much-needed facelift without moving walls or relocating plumbing. It's about smart, impactful improvements that respect both your home's character and your budget.

Recent Project Spotlight: A Fresh Look in Forest Hills
Just last quarter, we completed a charming main-floor powder room update for a client in Western Springs' Forest Hills neighborhood. The home, a beautiful 1920s Colonial, had an original bathroom that felt dated but still had good bones. Our client wanted to brighten the space and add a touch of modern elegance without sacrificing the home's historic integrity. We began by carefully removing the old pedestal sink, tired wallpaper, and cracked mosaic floor tiles. Our trade specialists then installed new hexagon floor tiles, a custom vanity with a marble top, and updated brass fixtures that perfectly complemented the home's era. Fresh paint in a warm gray tone and new baseboards completed the look. The entire project, managed with precision by Lake & Oak Co., was wrapped up in just eight days, leaving the homeowner delighted with a refreshed, functional, and historically sensitive space.

"We needed a quick bathroom remodel for our guest bath in Old Town before family visited, and Lake & Oak Co. delivered.

Highly recommend for Western Springs homeowners." — Michael Chen, Old Town
