Northstar Construction builds bathrooms across the Quad Cities to a higher waterproofing standard. Every bathroom we deliver includes a full waterproofing membrane system, ventilation ducted to the exterior, and tile work handled by our in-house installers.
Northstar Construction handles bathroom remodel and bathroom reconstruction projects for homeowners across Moline, Rock Island, Davenport, Bettendorf, and East Moline. Our team builds master bathrooms, guest bathrooms, powder rooms, accessible bathrooms, and basement bathroom build-outs. Northstar also handles bath remodeling projects ranging from fixture-and-finish refreshes to full reconstruction.
Every bathroom remodel involves hidden work that determines whether the bathroom lasts. Waterproofing membrane. Properly sloped shower pans. Sealed material transitions. Ventilation ducted to the exterior. Tile installed on flat substrates. Northstar Construction does the invisible work to the same standard as the visible work.
Many Quad Cities homeowners pair a bathroom reconstruction with a kitchen remodel when both rooms need similar structural updates. Combining projects often reduces total cost and shortens overall timeline.
Tile and grout are not waterproof. Water penetrates grout joints. Water penetrates gaps between tiles. The waterproofing membrane behind the tile is what protects your home from rot, mold, and structural damage.
Northstar Construction installs a complete waterproofing system on every wet area we build. Our team uses Schluter Kerdi, Wedi, RedGard, or equivalent systems depending on the application.
The waterproofing layer is invisible after tile goes on. The waterproofing layer is also the difference between a bathroom that lasts thirty years and a bathroom that develops a hidden leak in year five.
Master Bathroom Remodel in the Quad Cities
Northstar designs and builds master bathrooms with custom walk-in showers, soaking tubs, double vanities with stone countertops, heated tile flooring, layered lighting, and premium fixtures.
Bathroom Reconstruction in the Quad Cities
Northstar handles full bathroom reconstruction: gutting to the studs, addressing structural and subfloor issues, rerunning electrical and plumbing, and rebuilding from the framing out. Reconstruction is the right approach for older bathrooms with water damage, layout problems, or structural issues a surface remodel can’t fix.
Bathroom Remodel With Bathtub Replacement or Conversion
Northstar replaces aging bathtubs with new soaking, freestanding, or jetted tubs. We also handle tub-to-shower conversions, one of our most-requested bathroom remodel projects in the Quad Cities.
Custom Walk-In Showers in Moline, Davenport, and Bettendorf
Northstar builds curbless walk-in showers with linear drains, low-threshold walk-in showers, wet rooms with full-room waterproofing, and steam showers. Every shower includes proper waterproofing, frameless glass coordination, and in-house tile installation.
Guest Bathroom Remodeling Across the Quad Cities
Guest bath remodels balance durability and visual impact. Typical scope includes new tile, vanity, fixtures, lighting, ventilation upgrades, and paint.
Powder Room Builds in the Quad Cities
Small footprint, high visibility. Northstar builds powder rooms with statement vanities, custom lighting, bold tile or wallpaper, and premium fixtures.
Accessible Bathroom Remodeling in the Quad Cities
Northstar designs accessible bathrooms for aging-in-place and mobility needs: curbless showers, comfort-height fixtures, grab bars on reinforced backing, lever-handle fixtures, slip-resistant tile, and code-compliant clearances. They look like thoughtfully designed bathrooms, not institutional spaces.
Basement Bathroom Build-Outs in the Quad Cities
Northstar adds bathrooms to unfinished basements using either a slab-cut drain tie-in or an up-flow macerating system. We evaluate which approach fits your basement during the consultation.
Bathroom remodels involve more trade coordination per square foot than any room in the house. Northstar runs the process in seven phases.
We measure the bathroom, document existing conditions, and identify plumbing, structural, and ventilation constraints.
Our designers build the floor plan and fixture layout. You select tile, vanity, lighting, hardware, and finishes before construction.
Northstar pulls required permits and orders vanities, fixtures, and tile.
We remove existing tile, drywall, vanity, and fixtures. Our team reframes for new layouts and installs electrical, plumbing, and HVAC rough-ins. Inspections happen at this phase.
We insulate exterior walls, finish drywall, and install full waterproofing membrane in every wet area.
Our in-house tile installers handle floors, walls, niches, and grout. Northstar installs the vanity, templates and installs the countertop, and sets all plumbing fixtures.
Paint, trim, mirrors, lighting, and accessories get installed. Custom shower glass gets templated after tile and installed when it returns from the fabricator. Our project manager walks every detail with you and closes the punch list.
Most failed bathroom remodels in the Quad Cities fail because of inadequate ventilation. Mold in corners. Peeling paint above the shower. Warped trim. Rotting subfloor. All of it traces back to humidity that does not have anywhere to go.
Northstar Construction installs CFM-rated exhaust fans sized to the room volume on every bathroom we build. Our team ducts every fan to the exterior of the home, not to the attic. Fans connect to humidity-sensing switches or programmed timers, not standard light switches.
Ventilation is the cheapest part of a bathroom remodel and the part that protects the rest of the investment. Northstar does not cut corners on ventilation.
Northstar remodels bathrooms in every Quad Cities city.
