Serving Wilmette, Illinois
Built for Wilmette's North Shore homes
Wilmette sits on the North Shore, right where Lake Michigan meets some of Cook County's oldest tree-lined streets. Homes here tell the village's whole story. Along the lakefront near Gillson Park and the Baha'i House of Worship, you'll find early-1900s colonials, Prairie School designs, and craftsman houses with original hardwoods. West toward the old Gross Point settlement and Ridge Road, the housing runs a little newer. Kenilworth Gardens keeps its Colonial and Georgian look, while Indian Hill Estates spreads out on deep, winding lots. Brick-paved streets and century-old woodwork are part of daily life.
Excel Shower & Bath serves Wilmette from our Tinley Park headquarters, with free in-home consultations and no pressure. We've been at this since 1982. In older North Shore homes, a dated tub or a cramped hall bath is a common headache, so we build low-threshold showers in Onyx solid surface or Bath Concepts acrylic with Moen fixtures — durable, easy to clean, and installed by the same crews job after job. When your windows, doors, or siding need attention too, Soft-Lite windows, ProVia doors, and CertainTeed or LP siding suit these houses well.

Wilmette — common questions
Reviewed August 2026
Does Excel really serve Wilmette?
Yes — Wilmette is part of our Chicagoland service area. We're headquartered in Tinley Park, and we schedule free in-home consultations across the North Shore, including Wilmette. One call confirms your date.
Who actually does the installation?
The same installation crews, job after job — not a rotating cast off a day-labor board. They know our products and our standards, and our 5-year labor warranty stands behind their work.
How much will my project cost?
It depends on the product and the size of the job, so we don't quote blind. The in-home consultation is free: we measure, show you the options, and leave a clear written proposal — no pressure. Financing is available; ask about options.
Can you update an older Wilmette bathroom without a full gut?
Usually, yes. Many Wilmette homes have small original bathrooms, and a tub-to-shower conversion is often the simplest fix. We install Onyx solid surface or Bath Concepts acrylic walls over a sound structure, add a low-threshold base, grab bars, and Moen fixtures. Most bath projects wrap in days, not weeks, and everything carries Excel's 5-year labor warranty. We start with a free in-home look at your space.
Do you replace windows in Wilmette's older lakefront homes?
Yes. Homes near Gillson Park and Sheridan Road take a lot of weather off Lake Michigan, and original wood windows often leak air and stick. We fit Soft-Lite replacement windows, plus ProVia, Sierra Pacific, or Pella where a specific look matters. We measure each opening so the sightlines suit a colonial or Prairie-style facade, and Excel's 5-year labor warranty backs the install.
Is Excel based in Wilmette?
No. Excel is headquartered in Tinley Park, at 8049 185th Street, and serves Wilmette as part of its Chicagoland service area. We cover the 60091 ZIP and the wider North Shore. Every project starts with a free in-home consultation, so you get exact measurements and a firm price for bath, windows, doors, or siding before anything is scheduled. No obligation, no pressure.
