"I live out of state and was able to call the Hermoso brothers to help my grandma who lives in Escondido. She called me saying her sink did not work and was backed up. I called Eric and he was able to fit her in that day. As a grandson I am extremely grateful for the kindness shown, and as a customer both my grandmother and myself were extremely satisfied."
"I recently had my bathroom renovated by Tiannuo Construction and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Their team was professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. From the initial consultation to the final touches, they communicated clearly and ensured that every aspect of the project met my expectations. The quality of workmanship is outstanding, and my bathroom now has a modern and elegant look that has truly transformed the space. I highly recommend Tiannuo Construction for anyone looking to revamp their home."
"Dealing with contractors is never easy, and Ben is no pushover, but with very few exceptions, Ben and his crew do what they say they are going to do when they say they are going to do it, and they do it very well. What else can you really ask for from contractors. He's organized and a person of integrity. I liked that he sent a Google chart with supplies to purchase that we could work together that helped me figure out what kind of parts and tiles to purchase. Great experience and our bathrooms are amazing."

"Allwyn was incredible and the only consistently effective and efficient aspect of our remodel. We added a bedroom to our townhouse and Allwyn made it easy, fast, and has an eye for detail that was above and beyond what we expected. He has an eye for details that made the reno completely match the previous townhouse details. He also corrected several mistakes that were made by other vendors, such as where we purchased the windows/doors from, and fixed it before it added any costs and delays to us. Additionally, we had some massive delays due to our inept HOA but Allwyn was able to work around those delays and put in some insane hours to get the renovation completed before our new baby was born. He made the entire process so much better and was easy to work with during the entire process. Can't recommend him and his company enough!"
"Our HomeOwners Association chose Top Leader to bring our 1974 year old courtyard back to life. We replaced a decaying wooden pergola, with the state of the art aluminum replacement. It is stunning. We had every delay that could happen due to COVID and securing permits during these trying times. Eric and his team made sure I was included every step of the way. Once the permit was received, and materials ordered, it was up and running in four days. Great work. Couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Top Leader"
"Working with Ilan and IY Development and Renovation INC was an absolute pleasure. We hired them for a complete interior remodel, and they transformed our space into something truly spectacular. Ilan has an eye for design and was able to incorporate our style while making it feel new and elevated. The attention to detail and the quality of work are top-notch, and the team was incredibly respectful of our home throughout the process. Highly recommended for anyone looking for seamless renovations!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub—or any potential refinishing—is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.
Alcove tubs come in fiberglass, acrylic, or enameled steel. Fiberglass is the most affordable but least durable, while acrylic is the highest-end and most durable (as long as you don’t go with a poor grade of acrylic, which will be prone to scratches). Enameled steel, where a steel tub is coated in a layer of porcelain, is a wallet-friendly middle ground. This material is highly durable but prone to chips.
Ensures correct plumbing connections and secure installation to prevent future water damage.
Installing a walk-in bathtub can be worth it if it improves the user's safety and independence. However, because walk-in tubs require a large investment, not every homeowner has the means or desire to install one. As an alternative, some homeowners prefer to install a walk-in shower and transfer bench instead. Walk-in showers cost between $1,150 and $8,000, making them far more budget-friendly in comparison.
A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don’t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn’t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub’s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.
