Illinois bathrooms live a prairie life: flat ground, clay soil, and winters that freeze and thaw and freeze again. In the south suburbs of Chicago, where Being Sauna launched the state, the housing is mid-century brick — bungalows, ranches and two-flats built in the 1950s and 1960s, with cast-iron drains, basement bathrooms and plumbing that has served for sixty years and more. Further out, the same story repeats in different brick: post-war subdivisions, farm towns turned commuter towns, and river towns along the Calumet and the Illinois. What the whole state shares is the freeze-thaw cycle: pipes and walls that must be insulated properly, drains that must be renewed before new tile seals them in, and flat-ground drainage that must be understood before a basement bath is rebuilt. Being Sauna launched Illinois in Riverdale first — a south-suburban village the big companies treat as a drive-through — and is expanding town by town as local specialists confirm coverage.

Bathroom remodeling in PaxtonOpening next in Illinois: more towns follow in the research and specialist-assignment batch. A town opens only when a vetted local specialist is confirmed for it — call (833) 334-4470 to ask about yours, because routes sometimes cover a town before its page does.
We are the only bath service in this niche that publishes planning ranges on every page. No “call for price”, no games — you budget before anyone visits.
The price you sign is the price you pay. Quotes are written, itemised and valid beyond the day of the visit — take your time deciding.
Installers are independent local contractors checked for licensing, insurance and wet-area specialisation before they take a single Being Sauna job.
The biggest complaint in this industry is the same-day pressure close. Our specialists are instructed the opposite way: measure, explain, quote in writing, leave.
Tell a specialist what's going on with your bathroom — two minutes, no obligation, no script-reading call center.
A local specialist measures, checks the plumbing and subfloor, and leaves you an exact written quote that doesn't expire when they walk out.
Most wet-area projects finish in one to three days, the work area left clean and old materials hauled away.

Most Illinois projects follow national planning ranges: tub-to-shower conversions $8,500–$17,000, shower replacements $7,500–$15,000, walk-in showers $9,000–$18,000, bathtub replacements $6,500–$13,000, shower-to-tub conversions $7,500–$14,000 and full bathroom remodels $15,000–$35,000+, installed. Illinois-specific conditions move local budgets around those ranges: mid-century plumbing and cast-iron drains that should be renewed before new fixtures go in, basement bathrooms and flat prairie drainage, and freeze-thaw winters that punish any wall or pipe left uninsulated. Your exact written quote follows a free in-home assessment.
Because the towns the big companies drive past are exactly the underserved communities we exist to reach. Riverdale is a south-suburban village of 1950s and 1960s brick homes whose bathrooms have mostly never been rebuilt, served by corridors the big firms treat as a drive-through. We launch in careful batches, town by town, so every page reflects a real, assigned local specialist — and more Illinois towns open next on the same principle.
How Being Sauna works (transparency note): Being Sauna is a free homeowner service that connects you with independent, vetted local bathroom remodeling contractors — we do not install bathrooms ourselves. Our cost figures are planning ranges drawn from published national installer pricing and reviewed for accuracy; see our cost guide methodology. This page was last reviewed in October 2026.
