What happens when you call
No forms, no waiting for an email. It's a short phone conversation, and then you're talking to someone who can actually do the work.
- You describe the project. Tell us what you're hoping to change, roughly how big the room is, your address or ZIP code and when you'd like to start. If you're not sure what you want, say that. It's a common starting point.
- We connect you with a local provider. Based on what you've told us, we put you through to an independent bathroom remodeling provider who may be able to take on the job.
- They take it from there. The provider asks their own questions, explains how they work and usually arranges to see the bathroom. Prices, contracts, schedules and warranties are between you and them.
That's the whole referral model. We aren't a remodeler, and we say so on every page. You can read more on our about page, or see the contact page for what to have ready.

Most people who call us fall into one of three groups. Some have a specific problem: a tub that's too hard to climb into, a shower that leaks, a vanity that fell apart. Others are updating a bathroom that works but looks like it came from another decade. And some are redoing the whole room. Knowing which group you're in changes how you plan.
Repair, refresh or full remodel
A repair fixes a defined problem, like a leaking valve or failing grout. A refresh swaps surfaces and fixtures (new vanity, lighting, paint, flooring) without changing the plumbing layout. A full remodel takes the room down to the studs and rebuilds it. Providers price these very differently, and you'll get better quotes if you say which you want. If you're not sure, a good provider will tell you which one the room needs.
Layout first, finishes second
Where the toilet, shower, tub and sink sit determines the plumbing, and the plumbing determines a surprising share of the cost. Keeping fixtures where they are usually keeps the project simpler. If the layout really is the problem, for instance a corner tub nobody uses or a cramped door swing, moving things can be worth it. Our pages on small bathroom remodeling and master bathroom remodeling show how layout choices play out at either end of the size range.
Roughly how a remodel unfolds
- Plan and measure. A provider visits, discusses the project and measures. You settle on layout and major fixtures.
- Select and order. You choose tile, vanity, fixtures and glass. Anything special-order can have long lead times, so this step often sets the calendar.
- Permit, if needed. Projects that touch plumbing or electrical systems require a city permit, and drawings go with the application.
- Demolish and rough in. Old materials come out. Plumbing, electrical and framing are adjusted, and inspections happen before walls close.
- Waterproof, tile and finish. The shower is waterproofed and tested, tile goes up, and the vanity, toilet, lighting and trim follow.
- Glass and final walk-through. Custom glass is measured after tile and installed last. You inspect everything before final payment.
What's behind the walls
The part nobody can price in advance is hidden damage. Slow leaks around a tub, a shower pan that's been failing for years or old plumbing that won't survive being disturbed all turn up when walls open. That's why any honest quote has room for unknowns and why we suggest holding a cushion. Our shower remodeling and bathtub replacement pages explain what providers look for.
The Naperville and Illinois rules worth knowing
These come from the City of Naperville's guidance and the state's consumer law. Rules change, so confirm current requirements with the city or your provider.
Permits in Naperville
- A residential alteration permit is required when a bathroom project changes plumbing, electrical or structure. Painting, carpeting or flooring on their own are treated as cosmetic.
- The city asks for drawings that show the scope of work, a signed application from the homeowner and contact information for all contractors.
- Plumbing contractors submit their State of Illinois plumbing license. Electricians must be licensed and registered in Naperville.
- Inspections are requested by the applicant; the city asks for at least 72 hours' notice.
Full details are in the City of Naperville residential alteration guidance.
Contracts in Illinois
- Under the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act, work over $1,000 needs a written contract signed before work begins, listing the total cost.
- The contractor must give you a consumer-rights pamphlet before you sign.
- The contract must state the payment schedule, including any down payment.
- Contractors generally must carry liability and property-damage insurance. Ask to see it.
We're not lawyers, and this is a summary, not legal advice.
What drives the cost of a bathroom remodel
We don't quote prices because the providers you speak with set their own, and projects vary too much to put a fair number on a web page. These are the factors that move the total most.
| Cost driver | Why it matters | Where to read more |
|---|---|---|
| Moving plumbing | Relocating a drain, toilet or valve means opening floors or walls and often inspections. | Shower remodeling |
| Size of the shower or tub | More surface means more waterproofing, tile and glass. | Tub to shower conversion |
| Tile selection | Large-format and natural stone need flatter surfaces and more skilled setting. | Tile installation |
| Hidden damage | Rot, mold or failed plumbing found after demolition adds repairs. | Flooring |
| Custom or special-order items | Custom vanities, glass and slabs add cost and lead time. | Luxury remodeling |
| Accessibility features | Curbless entries, blocking and wider doors affect framing and layout. | Accessible bathrooms |
| Below-grade work | Cutting the slab, ejector pumps and moisture control add steps. | Basement bathrooms |
When you compare quotes from local bathroom remodeling providers, ask each one to itemize demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, tile, fixtures and glass. A single lump sum makes it hard to see why two prices differ. Also ask about allowances: if one quote assumes inexpensive tile and another assumes a better one, they aren't comparable.
How to choose among the providers you speak with
We connect you; we don't vouch for every provider on every point. These questions help you do your own checking.
- Ask for license details where the work requires it, and verify them directly. A plumbing license in Illinois is issued by the state.
- Ask for proof of insurance. It protects you and your home if something goes wrong.
- Get an itemized, written quote that names the materials, not just "standard" or "premium."
- Ask who does the work. Employees, or subcontractors? Who's on site day to day?
- Ask about permits. Who applies, and who schedules the inspections?
- Ask for examples of similar work, and speak to a previous customer if you can.
- Be cautious about pressure. "Sign today or the price changes" is a reason to slow down.
Some providers we may connect you with are licensed professionals with years of experience in bathroom work, and some may be highly rated by their own customers. Those details belong to the individual provider, not to PrimeHaven, and we don't claim any of them on a provider's behalf. If a provider tells you about a credential, award or rating, ask where you can verify it.
Naperville neighborhoods and areas we cover

Who's on the other end of the line
PrimeHaven Bath & Design is a referral service based at 652 Rte 59, Naperville, IL 60563. When you call (331) 233-0045, you reach us, not a contractor. We listen, ask a few questions and connect you with a local provider. We may be compensated by a provider when a call is connected, which doesn't change what you pay us (nothing) or what the provider quotes.
We keep the model simple on purpose. If you'd like the full picture, our about page explains what we do and don't do, and the contact page lists everything you'll want to have ready.
Questions people ask before they call
How does PrimeHaven Bath & Design work?
You call (331) 233-0045 and tell us about your bathroom project. We ask a few questions, then connect you with an independent local provider who may be able to help. The provider discusses your project, gives you a price and does the work. You decide whether to hire them.
Does PrimeHaven do the remodeling?
No. We're a referral service. The providers we connect you with are independent businesses, and they set their own prices, schedules and warranties.
Does it cost anything to call?
We don't charge you to be connected, and the call carries no obligation. We may be compensated by a provider when a call is connected. The provider you speak with will quote you for their own work.
Do I need a permit to remodel a bathroom in Naperville?
Generally yes if the project changes plumbing, electrical or structure. The City of Naperville issues a residential alteration permit for those, and cosmetic work such as painting or flooring on its own typically doesn't need one. Your provider should tell you who is handling the permit.
How do I check that a provider is licensed?
Ask for their license and insurance details and verify them directly. In Illinois, plumbing contractors need a state plumbing license, and Naperville asks plumbing contractors to submit a copy of it with the permit application. Electricians must be licensed and registered in Naperville. Don't assume a credential applies to every provider.
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
It depends on the scope and material lead times. A simple vanity swap is quick, while a full remodel with custom tile or glass takes much longer. Ask your provider for a written schedule and what could change it.
Can I get an exact price on the phone?
Usually not. A responsible provider needs to see the room, and sometimes open a wall, before giving a firm number. They can often talk through the factors that affect cost during the first call.
Which parts of Naperville do you cover?
We focus on Naperville, Illinois, including Downtown Naperville, Old Naperville, Ranch View, Knoch Knolls, Springbrook, Tall Grass, Ashwood Park, Heatherstone and Arrowhead, plus areas near Naper Settlement, Centennial Beach, the Naperville Corporate Center and the Naper Boulevard corridor. Availability depends on the provider, so give us your address or ZIP code when you call.
