Settle the layout before you apply: for a bathroom remodel, Wheaton asks for architectural plans with the existing and proposed layouts, a floor plan and, where it applies, a cross-section wall detail. The Naperville permit guide covers the licensed-trade parts of the same kind of job.

Expect the permit to add alarm work to the job. Under the 2024 International Residential Code as Wheaton applies it, smoke alarms are required when alterations requiring a permit occur, placed not less than 3 feet horizontally from the door of a bathroom that contains a bathtub or shower, and carbon monoxide alarms are required in homes with a fuel-fired appliance or an attached garage. Ask whether the quote includes them.

Wheaton keeps its own register of contractors, and trades that need licences put them on file with the city when they register. Ask the remodeler to confirm it is on Wheaton's list before you sign; the Building Department answers questions at (630) 260-2050.
