The family of three on our Arlington Heights job liked the size of their bungalow. The layout was the problem, so we re-planned it instead of expanding it: a full bath added for their son, the primary bath redrawn around a new walk-in closet, and an upstairs full bath turned into a half bath so the space it released could hold storage.
What We See in Arlington Heights Houses
Of the 1,971 houses here, 567 went up in the 1920s and 434 in the 1930s, and the middle one measures 1,508 square feet. A house that size has no spare room to give a bathroom. Underfoot, over a third of the neighborhood sits on a soil complex where limestone can be as little as a foot down. The rest of our Fort Worth work is on clay that moves; here it is rock, and rock is an excavation cost rather than a foundation worry.
The Bathrooms Arlington Heights Asks Us For
Small bathrooms are what we are asked about most here. Hall and kids baths are that same room with more people in it. A primary bath usually gets re-planned along with the closet beside it, which is what our Arlington Heights job did.

Why Arlington Heights Homeowners Choose Us
Over limestone, moving a drain is rock work, so the cheaper plan is usually the one that leaves the drain where it is. That is why our Arlington Heights job added a bathroom inside the existing footprint and turned an upstairs full bath into a half bath, instead of running new plumbing across the house. We would rather redraw the room than trench under it.
FAQ
Bathroom Remodel Questions in Arlington Heights

Schedule a Free ConsultationIs Arlington Heights a historic district?
Not as a neighborhood. A stretch of Tremont Avenue is designated, as Historic Hillcrest, and the rest carries no city overlay. Either way it does not reach a bathroom, because the city's certificate of appropriateness is triggered by exterior work.
Why would moving the shower cost more here than across town?
Because of the rock. Over a third of the neighborhood sits where limestone can be as little as a foot down, so a drain that moves has to be cut in rather than dug. We find out what is under your floor before we quote, not after.
