TileMasters provides tile installation and tile repair in Glenview, IL, a village where the housing splits cleanly into two very different halves.
The older parts of Glenview hold post-war ranches, split-levels, and Cape Cods from the decades when the village grew around the naval air station. Then there is The Glen, the large redevelopment built on the former base site from the late 1990s onward, which brought a whole district of newer single-family homes, townhouses, and condos with entirely modern construction. Recent jobs are in our project gallery.
Those two halves need different approaches. In an older Glenview home the question is what is behind and beneath decades-old work. In a Glen-area property the construction is sound but often builder-grade, and the work is usually upgrading finishes rather than fixing failures. We quote each on its own terms. We work across Northfield and Northbrook on the same routes. Get in touch for a free estimate.

Learn MoreHow older village housing and Glen-area construction differ in practice.
The older village housing has the familiar issues: original bathrooms at the end of their life, mortar beds that may or may not still be bonded, and kitchens extended at some point with a seam that needs a movement joint.
Newer homes here are structurally sound but frequently finished to builder standard, with basic tile and minimal waterproofing detail. Upgrading a shower or a floor in one of these is straightforward work with a big visual return.
The Glen brought a lot of townhouse and condo stock. Anything above or beside another unit means proper waterproofing and working to association rules, both of which we handle as standard.
Both construction types handled properly. See our customer reviews.
Post-war village homes and Glen-area builds both handled properly.
Big visual improvement without a full remodel, where the layout already works.
Fully licensed and insured, certificates ready for associations.
We open up and look rather than pricing on assumption.

Common questions from Glenview homeowners before starting a project.
Often yes. Newer builder-grade showers are frequently done to the minimum standard, and ten to fifteen years is exactly when that starts to show. Upgrading the membrane during a retile costs little extra and prevents the expensive version of this conversation later.
The unknowns. A post-war bathroom may have an original mortar bed, one previous remodel, or three. We open up and assess before quoting rather than pricing on assumption and revising later.
Yes. We work to association rules, protect shared access, and provide the certificate of insurance most boards require. Waterproofing gets extra attention wherever there is a unit below.
Frequently. Replacing a shower surround or a floor while leaving the layout and plumbing alone is a much smaller job than a full remodel and changes how the room feels considerably.
