Full Bathroom Remodels in Naperville Homes

About $8,000–$18,000 for a hall bath, $20,000–$45,000 for a mid-range remodel and $30,000–$60,000+ for a primary bath. Five companies working in and around Naperville publish prices on their own websites; their tiers don't line up exactly, but together they look like this:

• Small or hall bathroom: $8,000–$15,000 for a simple remodel and $8,000–$18,000 for a standard hall bath; other lists start hall baths at $15,000–$30,000 or basic updates at around $15,000–$25,000.
• Mid-range remodel: $20,000–$35,000 on one list, $25,000–$45,000 on another.
• Master or primary bathroom: $20,000–$45,000 with a custom shower and heated floors, up to $30,000–$60,000+ for a primary bath.
• Upscale: $50,000+ or over $60,000.
• Full remodel keeping the layout: $45,000+ from a Chicagoland-wide firm.

Every company behind these numbers is listed under Sources below. The Naperville bathroom cost guide puts them side by side and ranks what moves a quote.

A lot: one Chicagoland firm starts a remodel that keeps the layout at $45,000 and a custom primary bath with a full layout change at $80,000. That remodeler describes its first tier as a room where the layout stays put and everything else is rebuilt: porcelain flooring, all major fixtures replaced, a new tub with a porcelain tile surround, premium cabinetry, a quartz vanity top and new lights, starting at $45,000. A custom primary bath with a full layout change starts at $80,000 in the same price list. A Naperville remodeler gives the same advice from the other direction: keep the existing layout to hold down labor costs.

Usually 2–3 weeks for a hall bath and 3–5 weeks for a larger master bath. A full hall bath remodel takes 2–3 weeks, and a larger master bath with a custom shower and a lot of tile typically runs 3–5 weeks. For a powder room, expect 1–2 weeks; a full bathroom, 3–4 weeks; a master suite, 5–6 weeks. Permit review comes before any of that and can add a few weeks depending on the suburb. If this is your only full bath, the homeowner questions page covers the cost of staying elsewhere.

Usually fewer surprises than in the older towns nearby. Naperville's median home was built in 1990; 14,959 of its housing units date from the 1990s and 14,239 from the 1980s, according to Census data. A Chicagoland remodeler says much of the 1990s construction in Naperville and Plainfield generally has serviceable systems behind the walls, which keeps the work closer to aesthetic than structural. Compare that with Elmhurst, where the median home dates from 1966, or Glen Ellyn and Downers Grove, where the 1970s were the busiest building decade.
