"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

A shower pan's lifespan can range from 10 to 45 years, depending on the material. As a preventative measure, it's recommended to replace your shower pan every 10 to 15 years to avoid degradation, water leaks, and mold problems. A pan's lifespan can be shortened by incorrect installation, but proper cleaning can help extend it. You should replace your shower pan immediately if you notice clear signs of failure, such as visible cracks, water spilling onto the bathroom floor, moisture stains on adjacent walls or the ceiling below, or any movement, buckling, or warping in the pan when you step on it.

It depends on your or your loved one’s needs. One grab bar will do if you only need help getting in and out of the shower. You might need two: one near your shower’s entrance if you need help getting in and out of your shower and another to help you move around inside it.

The most cost-effective method of building a shower involves using a prefabricated shower kit, which can be found at most home improvement stores. These kits include preformed shower bases, wall panels, and doors, reducing labor and material costs. You’ll most likely need to hire a local shower installer to make sure it’s installed properly, but it will be less expensive than designing and installing a custom shower. 

Use mortar underneath the shower base. The mortar holds the shower pan in place and creates a level surface when spread properly. If your flooring is not level, you would need to use shims to create a level surface before moving forward with the mortar and base installation.

Note that installing a shower pan on an uneven surface can eventually lead to cracks and leaks.

Shower pan replacement costs depend on the size and shape of the pan and whether you install it or hire a shower installer. On average, replacing a shower pan costs around $1,620, but costs range between $900 and $2,300. Hiring an experienced pro helps ensure that the installation is done correctly and your shower won’t leak.
