Bathroom Remodeling in Crestline

Two kinds of house share these streets, and a bathroom in each is a different job.

A Crestline bathroom starts with which house you own: a cottage, Tudor or bungalow built around the golf course from 1911 on, or one built in the 1980s or since. This page covers both. We haven't finished a bathroom inside Crestline's boundary yet. The white primary bath shown below is east of it, in Arlington Heights: gutted, then brought back in white subway tile and marble around a glass shower.

How Crestline Houses Are Built

Crestline is two neighborhoods wearing one name. Cottages, Tudors, and bungalows were laid out around the golf course from 1911, and nearly a third of what stands on those same streets was built since 2000. The front elevation will not tell you which one you own, and it changes the job completely. In the older houses a primary bath is a fitting problem, with two sinks, a real shower, and a closet to place inside a plan drawn in the twenties around plaster, cast iron, and a staircase that is not moving. In a 1980s original it is a builder-grade room with space to take back.

The Bathrooms These Houses Need

The primary bath is the biggest job in these houses. Small bathrooms are their own problem in the interwar houses, which were built with baths sized for one, and hall and kids baths matter wherever a family is sharing a room that was plumbed for a single bathroom and no upstairs laundry.

How We'd Start a Crestline Bathroom

The first useful thing we would do on a Crestline house is work out which decade you actually own, because that answer sets the budget more than any selection does. A 1990s renovation often left the supply lines fine and the venting improvised, or moved a wall without moving what runs inside it. We look before we quote.

Have you remodeled a bathroom in Crestline?

Not inside the neighborhood's boundary so far. The primary bath we used to list under Crestline sits east of it, in Arlington Heights, and it is labeled that way now. What we know about Crestline's two eras of house, and what a primary or hall bath costs here, is on this page.

Is Crestline a historic district?

No, and several individual houses are landmarked anyway, so it is an address question rather than a neighborhood one. We check yours before we plan anything that touches the outside.

What will you find behind the walls?

It depends entirely on which era your house belongs to. In the interwar houses we plan for plaster and cast iron. In an eighties house we are more often undoing a nineties renovation that moved a wall without moving the plumbing inside it.
