"JD was a wonderful find. He is friendly, flexible, and focused. I had retired from teaching in Brooklyn, NY to share a house with my mother, and there were times when we needed skilled hands to help us with some of the refurbishing tasks. He did all kinds of jobs for us, including painting (bathrooms and porch furniture), hanging wall art and a stained glass window, replacing doors, assembling a new bed with heavy head and footboards, replacing rotted wood on exterior window frames, assembling other furniture pieces, and too many other small tasks to mention. He made my transition much easier, and I will continue to contact him for any other needs that we might have. He is a very competent handyman.
"The upstairs bathroom toilet and tub leaked through the ceiling into the kitchen below. Not a huge amount at first, but as time went on, the ceiling began falling down into the kitchen. The previous owners of the house obviously had the same problem because the ceiling was patched up and there were stains. When Halo Construction LLC (James and crew) arrived, James looked at the situation thoroughly, took pictures, explained to me what was needed, and produced an estimate. The leak needed to be fixed and the kitchen ceiling replaced. The tricky part was that the true source of the leak was not clear. I paid for the materials ahead of time and they began within the week, first by figuring out where the leak was coming from and then replacing the ceiling. Because the ceiling part was so messy, they completely shut off the kitchen with plastic tarps so that the dust did not affect the rest of the house. I really appreciated that, and it worked. The ceiling was fixed two days later and it looks beautiful. I paid the rest of the bill. Unfortunately, there was more than one source of the leak, so James had to return and ended up replacing the toilet. I paid for the toilet and any other materials needed, but Halo did not charge extra for the follow-up. All is fine now, though, and I am convinced that we have finally fixed the problem. Halo fixed it, that is. I would say that James was very responsive to the situation and to my needs and acted professionally throughout. P.S. While he was there I asked him to look at my downstairs toilet. He did, and it works fine now."
"The initial visit was thorough and explained all problems. Two different estimates were emailed to us, one for the bracing and one for possible pier placement in one corner. We emailed the contract for the braces and within days, measurements were taken. The next week, a crew of three bolted the braces in place and caulked the stress cracks. All of our questions were answered completely and in language we could understand. The workers were efficient, friendly and helpful. They moved two large shelving units away from the wall and then returned them to their original positions. They also moved some other heavy items we could not move by ourselves and replaced them. We are extremely pleased with the work and the price was reasonable (they were here all day). If placing piers is necessary, they will definitely be the people we call to do the work. They even gave us some tubes of brick pointing material to use on the outside of the house where water had worn away the mortar. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! "
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.
There are a few things you can do to keep your bathroom remodel as affordable as possible in your mobile home:
Ask your contractor to replace caulk and grout rather than retiling
Ask your professional to refinish your tub/shower rather than replacing
Upgrade your sink fixtures rather than replacing the sink
Upgrade cabinet hardware and ask your remodeler to refinish the cabinets
Avoid changing the layout of your bathroom
The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.
There are several ways to save money on a bathroom remodel through proper planning and savvy design strategies. To reduce costs, consider the following:
Purchase your own materials: Buy your own bathroom fixtures, hardware, and other materials to avoid contractor upcharges and delivery fees.
Shop smart for big-ticket items: Save on pricey items like tiles and tubs by shopping sales and at discount stores.
Avoid major layout changes: Keep plumbing in its current location. Opt to replace fixtures rather than moving them to avoid significant renovation work.
Focus on high-impact, low-cost updates: Make affordable but impactful smaller changes, such as upgrading hardware, installing new lighting, and adding stylish but economical accessories.
DIY where possible: Handle easier parts of the remodel yourself, like painting or installing light fixtures, to save on labor costs.
Time your remodel strategically: Consider remodeling in the spring, which tends to be a lower-demand time of year and may result in lower costs.
A professional bathtub installation or replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the project's complexity and any necessary alterations. If you hire a professional, most replacements can be completed in one to three days. However, if you choose the DIY route, the process could take up to a month, as it involves removing the old tub and drywall, installing the new tub, repairing the drywall, and installing new tiling.
