Why Wilmette Homeowners Choose Majestic Tiles
Your Wilmette renovation matters enough to get it right the first try. Here's what separates our approach from the contractors you've already talked to.
Two Decades Working on North Shore Homes
We've completed over 500 renovation projects across Wilmette and the broader North Shore since founding Majestic Tiles. That track record shows up in ways you don't always anticipate, such as how we identify structural complications before demolition reveals them, how we coordinate multiple trades without the schedule chaos that derails other projects, and how we execute installations that perform well years after the last tool leaves your home.
Our methodology combines European attention to craft with project management that doesn't leave homeowners guessing. As a result, Wilmette clients get honest timelines, real communication, and finished spaces that reflect their original vision.

Materials Wilmette Homeowners Can't Get Elsewhere
As the first Chicagoland contractor importing porcelain directly from Poland, we give Wilmette homeowners access to tile collections that simply don't exist in local showrooms or big-box stores.
Our warehouse carries over 250,000 square feet of inventory from Cersanit, Tubadzin, Paradyz, and Cerrad, including large-format slabs and specialty finishes that make your renovation genuinely distinct, not pulled from the same catalog as every other project on your block.

A Showroom That Makes Selection Straightforward
Coordinating separate trips to tile stores, plumbing suppliers, and lighting showrooms is exhausting and disorienting. Our Wheeling location brings together everything under one roof, including tile, vanities, faucets, bathtubs, radiant floor systems, waterproofing products, and installation materials, all in one convenient place.
You'll see full bathroom and kitchen vignettes built to help Wilmette clients visualize completed spaces in real lighting. We provide honest, practical guidance on durability, maintenance, and how different elements work together — no pressure, just an informed perspective.

Our Craftsmen Oversee Your Project from Start to Finish
Rotating subcontractors isn’t part of our business. Our tile installers, plumbers, electricians, and finish carpenters are Majestic Tiles employees. That means consistent quality across every trade, seamless coordination when details require it, and a Wilmette project timeline that doesn't get held hostage by outside scheduling. The team that walks in on day one is the team that completes your renovation.

Certifications That Reflect Real Expertise
- NTCA Membership (National Tile Contractors Association): We maintain industry-leading installation standards through ongoing education and best practice compliance — placing us in the top 5% of tile contractors nationwide.
- Porcelain Gauged Panel certification: Qualified to install large-format slabs up to 48"×110" — specialized work most Wilmette contractors aren't equipped to handle properly.
- Full licensing & insurance: Comprehensive coverage protects your Wilmette property at every phase of construction.
- Continuous manufacturer training: Through regular technical sessions, our installation team stays current with evolving materials and techniques.
We Work with Your Designer — Or Help You Think It Through
Already partnering with an interior designer on your Wilmette project? We execute those plans with the level of precision that kind of vision requires. Many North Shore designers specifically request our involvement for our tile expertise and installation quality. For homeowners who aren't working with a designer, we offer layout guidance and material recommendations while staying honest about what we do best: exceptional execution from demolition through final finish.
From Vision to Reality: Our Wilmette Remodeling Process
Wilmette Home Remodeling Costs
Renovation investments in Wilmette vary considerably based on project scope, material choices, and your property's specific conditions. Typically, our Wilmette projects range from $25,000 for focused bathroom updates to $150,000+ for comprehensive kitchen transformations or whole-home renovations, with most complete room remodels landing between $40,000 and $85,000.
What shapes your Wilmette investment:
- Renovation scope: Cosmetic updates within existing layouts are far less expensive than comprehensive renovations involving plumbing relocations, layout changes, or structural modifications. Converting a standard tub-shower combination into a frameless walk-in shower with custom European tilework requires new waterproofing, reconfigured plumbing, and specialized installation—but the transformation justifies the investment.
- Space size: Smaller powder rooms require fewer materials and less labor than expansive master suites with separate shower and soaking tub zones. That said, compact Wilmette bathrooms often present design challenges, such as tight corners, low ceilings, and unusual configurations, that require more creative problem-solving than simple square footage math would suggest.
- Material selections: Builder-grade fixtures and standard ceramic tile deliver functional results at accessible price points. Premium European porcelain, high-end plumbing fixtures, and custom millwork create spaces that are distinctly different — the kind that Wilmette homeowners appreciate in resale markets where discerning buyers recognize quality. Our imported collections offer options across price tiers, allowing you to balance budget realities with design ambitions.
- Structural & mechanical conditions: Wilmette projects involving subfloor replacement, wall framing changes, window installations, or updated plumbing and electrical systems add complexity. Older North Shore homes, many of which were built before World War II, commonly reveal hidden issues once demolition begins: deteriorated supply lines, undersized electrical service, or moisture damage needing proper remediation before finishes can proceed.

Wilmette Remodeling Questions We Hear Most Often
What should I expect to invest in a Wilmette home renovation?
Wilmette renovation investments typically range from $25,000 to $150,000+, depending on scope and materials. Bathroom renovations generally fall between $25,000 and $85,000, with master bathrooms on the higher end when luxury materials and spa-level features are involved.
Kitchen remodels in Wilmette typically range from $50,000 to $150,000+ based on size, appliances, and custom cabinetry requirements. Rest assured that you’ll see a full cost breakdown in our detailed estimates. They include costs across fixtures, labor, permits, and materials so you understand exactly where your budget is going before work begins.
How long does a typical Wilmette remodeling project take?
Most Wilmette bathroom renovations run 3–5 weeks from demolition through final inspection. Kitchen remodels typically require 4–8 weeks, depending on complexity and custom elements. The first week typically covers demolition and rough plumbing and electrical work, followed by waterproofing and preparation, then tile installation, and finally fixture mounting and finish details. You’ll have a detailed schedule upfront, and if changes are needed, we’ll communicate proactively.
.svg)
Can I stay in my Wilmette home during the renovation?
Most Wilmette homeowners stay in their homes during bathroom and kitchen remodels, though planning for temporary inconveniences is essential. Before work begins, it helps to identify alternative arrangements—a secondary bathroom during master bath renovations, or a temporary cooking setup during kitchen projects. We provide clear daily schedules indicating exactly when water or power will be interrupted for plumbing and electrical work.
.svg)
What permits are required for Wilmette renovations?
Wilmette renovations require permits for plumbing modifications, electrical work, and structural alterations. Purely cosmetic updates, such as replacing tile, refinishing surfaces, and swapping fixtures in their existing locations, typically don't trigger permit requirements. Don’t stress about this, as we manage all permit applications and coordinate required inspections with Wilmette building authorities. Permit timelines in Wilmette generally run 2–4 weeks, and we account for that in your project schedule from the start.
What renovation features are Wilmette homeowners requesting most?
Wilmette homeowners are consistently requesting spa-inspired bathrooms, with elements such as walk-in showers with frameless glass, statement soaking tubs, heated flooring, and thoughtful lighting that adjusts throughout the day.
In kitchens, large islands with seating, professional appliances, and custom cabinetry that maximizes storage without looking heavy are top priorities. We recommend features that genuinely improve daily life while holding value in a market where buyers know the difference between a real renovation and a cosmetic refresh.
How do you handle the architectural character of older Wilmette homes?
Wilmette has a remarkable stock of pre-war construction—Tudor revivals, colonial estates, craftsman bungalows, and arts-and-crafts homes along tree-lined streets from Linden Avenue to the lakefront. We work with that character rather than against it. Period details, original millwork, and architectural proportions are preserved and incorporated into our renovation approach. We introduce modern comfort, such as updated mechanical systems, contemporary fixtures, and efficient insulation, behind walls and under floors.
How do you handle waterproofing in Wilmette renovations?
Wilmette's climate demands serious waterproofing, especially in older homes where original substrate conditions can be unpredictable. We install waterproof membranes behind every tile installation, seal all penetration points properly, and size ventilation correctly for each space.
Our NTCA-certified installers follow industry best practices for shower pan construction, wall preparation, and transition details. This work isn't visible once the renovation is complete; however, it's the difference between a bathroom that looks great for years and one that starts showing problems well before it should.
