What we see on St. Charles homes
St. Charles's median house dates from 1986, which puts most of the town in the build-out between 1970 and 1990. 32,204 housing units, 67.9% of the occupied ones owner-occupied. That leaves a real share of rented property, and a landlord asks different questions than an owner: what fails soonest, what a tenant will call about. The quote is the same either way. 13% has been built since 2010, which means a lot of original builder fixtures now at the age where the surround and the seals start to go.
Seventies and eighties bathrooms mean fiberglass one-piece units and molded surrounds. Those do not rot, but they go soft underfoot, stain in a way that will not scrub out, and crack at the drain. Replacing one is usually a clean job, because the supply lines are copper or early PVC and generally fine, so this is more often a straight tub or shower replacement than a full remodel, and we will say so when that is what it is. On a full remodel the order is what matters: the room comes out, whatever is behind the walls gets put right, and only then does anything new go in.
