"I was so impressed with Trevor and his crew with the installation of my water tank/pump that I did not hesitate to contact him again to repair damage to my roof and insulation. His communication is fantastic. He always replies in a timely manner. Trevor guarantees his work. I had some follow-up questions and he did not hesitate to explain things to me. I trust him and his advice. Next project, having Rhino construction start painting my house next summer. It is reassuring having someone I can trust! Thank you!"

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you can remove your showerhead without turning off your main water supply. You just need to make sure your shower isn’t on before you screw off the showerhead. That said, you may experience a small trickle of leftover water in the pipe. 

If you have an older showerhead, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water supply because this job can put pressure on the pipes. If you have a shower shut-off valve, it will be hidden somewhere in a nearby access panel.

You should replace your showerhead if you notice issues such as low water pressure, leaks, rust, mineral deposits, sediment buildup, or black mold. These signs can indicate internal problems that might lead to health issues if ignored. If you find black mold, it's wise to inspect the rest of your bathroom for other potential sources. Additionally, significant sediment buildup may suggest the need for a water softener, while persistent low water pressure could point to an issue with your water heater.

Even without these problems, replacing an old fixture is an easy and affordable way to upgrade your shower. A new showerhead can offer several benefits, including improved water pressure, better water efficiency, and an enhanced aesthetic that complements your bathroom's style. Modern showerheads also frequently come with extra features like multiple spray settings or a detachable head to improve your showering experience.

Whether walk-in showers are worth it depends on your goals and priorities. For many, walk-in showers are worth the investment due to the increased accessibility, the minimalist aesthetic, and the ease of cleaning. They’re particularly beneficial for households that want low-threshold access for aging in place. However, if you love taking baths and want more privacy and a warmer showering space, a walk-in shower may not be the best bathroom upgrade for you.

There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.

In some cases, people are getting rid of bathtubs because of the floor space they gain after removal. Showers can make more efficient use of bathroom space. In some cases, people get rid of tubs for accessibility purposes. It can be difficult for some individuals to step into and out of a tub. For these people, a shower with no lip or step is safer and easier to use than a tub.
