Two Bathrooms, One Spa-Like Home: Bathroom Remodeling in Lakes of the Four Seasons

- Two Full Bathroom Remodels
Introduction
A well-planned bathroom remodel can change more than the way a room looks. It can make the space safer, easier to use, and far more enjoyable at the beginning and end of every day. For the Shimkus family in Lakes of the Four Seasons, Crown Point, the goal was to update two bathrooms that no longer felt right for their home or their routine.
Their downstairs bathroom had a jetted tub that no longer worked, and the layout had become a daily frustration. The homeowners also wanted their upstairs bathroom to feel safer and more functional. Lori K Bath completed two full bathroom remodels in its Northwest Indiana service area that brought both rooms into a more comfortable, cohesive style while giving the homeowners a home spa feeling they can enjoy every day.
Project Summary
This bathroom remodeling project in Lakes of the Four Seasons included a complete update of an upstairs bathroom and a downstairs bathroom. The upstairs space moved away from an outdated tiled shower and toward a more accessible walk-in shower. Downstairs, the team removed the existing jetted tub and wall tile, repaired the drywall, and reframed the plumbing wall to accommodate the new 60-inch white soaking tub.
The project took eight to ten days to complete. Installer team Kyle and Dillon handled the work, while design consultant Roger helped the homeowners feel comfortable with the plan from the beginning.

The Challenge
The downstairs bathroom needed a major reset. The jetted tub no longer worked, the overall look no longer suited the homeowners, and the off-center toilet was a detail that continued to bother the homeowner. They initially hoped to replace the old tub with a freestanding tub if the room allowed it, while still leaving room for a practical solution that would fit the space.
Upstairs, the existing tiled shower had become dated and did not provide the level of comfort or safety the family wanted. The homeowners needed a bathroom remodel that addressed both day-to-day use and the visual disconnect between the older finishes and the home they wanted to enjoy.
Main Challenges
- Remove the downstairs jetted tub and dated wall tile without overlooking the necessary wall and plumbing work.
- Reframe the plumbing wall and repair drywall so the new downstairs wet area could be properly accommodated.
- Replace the upstairs tiled shower with a safer, more functional walk-in shower.
- Give both bathrooms updated finishes while creating spaces that felt comfortable, practical, and personal to the homeowners.
A Customer Experience Built on Trust
The homeowners said the installer team was incredibly hardworking and shared that they would trust Kyle and Dillon to work on anything in their house. That kind of confidence matters on a two-bathroom project, where the team is working in personal spaces and coordinating many details over more than one room.
“They were incredibly hardworking, and we would trust them to work on anything in our house.”
The design process played an important role as well. Roger, the family’s Lori K Bath design consultant, helped them feel comfortable with the project as a whole. The homeowners also appreciated knowing that Lori K Bath would stand behind the wet-area work through its lifetime warranty commitment.
Good to Know About Bathroom Remodeling in Lakes of the Four Seasons
A full bathroom remodel can involve more than the finishes seen at the end of the project. When an existing fixture or layout needs to change, the work can include removing old materials, repairing the surrounding walls, and adjusting the plumbing wall so the new space is built on a sound foundation. That behind-the-scenes work was especially important in the downstairs bathroom.
For this project, the lifetime warranty was a meaningful part of the homeowners’ decision. Lori K Bath’s lifetime warranty covers material and labor in the wet area, meaning the shower or tub area, for as long as the homeowners remain in the home. Other areas of the bathroom are covered by the applicable manufacturer warranty, which helps the homeowners understand how their finished rooms are supported after installation.
Our Solution
For the upstairs bathroom, Lori K Bath removed the outdated tiled shower and created a safer, more functional walk-in shower. The new shower features a scalloped gray wall system, a white shower base, a custom glass door, a folding seat, grab bars, corner shelving, and a brushed-nickel Hydrorain showerhead. Each selection was chosen to support everyday ease while giving the room a lighter, more updated look.
The team refreshed the remainder of the upstairs bathroom with a new double vanity and quartz countertop, Turkish White luxury vinyl flooring, updated faucets, and a soft gray-and-white paint palette. Together, these updates helped the room feel cohesive instead of pieced together. The new layout and finishes support a more comfortable routine without losing the clean, polished feel the homeowners wanted.
Downstairs, the work began with the removal of the old jetted tub and wall tile. Kyle and Dillon repaired the drywall and reframed the plumbing wall to accommodate the new 60-inch white soaking tub. The downstairs wet area also includes the homeowners’ selected Horizon Beige wall surround, matte-black fixtures, Delta Hydrorain showerhead, clear-glass bypass doors, corner shelving, and two safety grab bars.
The rest of the downstairs bathroom received a slate-colored vanity, quartz countertop, rectangular sink, Mezcla luxury vinyl plank flooring, updated lighting, and a soft green-and-white paint palette. These choices brought a calm, finished look to the space while retaining useful features for daily life. By updating both bathrooms as part of one project, the family gained rooms that feel more connected to one another and more consistent with the home they want to live in.
Why the Shimkus Family Chose Lori K Bath
The Shimkus family’s decision came down to comfort, trust, and accountability. Roger made the process feel approachable from the start, which helped the homeowners move forward with a two-bathroom plan instead of continuing to live with rooms that no longer worked for them. They also valued Lori K Bath’s commitment to return as many times as needed if a covered issue arose in the wet area.
A bathroom remodel is a significant change to a home, especially when two rooms are being updated at once. The combination of clear design guidance, hardworking installers, detailed product selections, and lasting warranty support gave the homeowners confidence throughout the project. Their feedback after completion shows that this confidence continued long after the rooms were finished.
