"Nate- Atl & Hubter- Atl. were very professional and efficient with the tear out and installation of our new bathtub. They communicated each of the steps with us and a full explanation before leaving. They arrived on time and finished earlier than I was expecting. Great job guys!"
"Robert is an excellent worker with a great attitude and work ethic. He arrived on time and completed the job in the allotted time frame. His courteous demeanor and willingness to answer all questions was much appreciated. He took the time to explain how the materials work and how to operate the replaced faucets. I am thoroughly impressed with his work and would highly recommend Robert for any job. He is knowledgeable and hardworking, and will take the time to ensure that all tasks are completed correctly. He truly exceeded my expectations and I would be more than happy to hire him again in the future."
"I went with Sky Tech Builders on my 2 bathrooms remodel and I am thrilled with the outcome. Sky Tech Builders team was professional, clean and polite. There were no issues thanks to very disciplined and responsible working team. The project manager was also great, completely honest and communication with his was excellent. He also helped me to choose best possible materials within my budget. My bathrooms looks amazing! Highly recommended contractor!"
"They did a number of things. Braced and restrapped water heater and ran copper line for pressure relief to outside. Unclogged master toilet and reseated. Bolted down second toilet. Reconnected clothes dryer vent. Repaired air gap/garbage disposal and drain line under kitchen sink, crawled under house and remove galvanized pipe straps and replaced with nylon pipe clamps. I was a contractor and used to do this work, o an very critical. They did an outstanding job. Went the extra mile several times. I was expecting a bill for a higher amount but they stuck with their estimate. I recommend them highly and would use them again!!"
"Leo Tony and his crew were very responsive and replaced an old galvanized waterline with copper quickly and efficiently . Very knowledgeable about new insurance regs and installed new leak detector valve also.
Also installed efficient garden sprinkler
Definitely recommend"
"I can't say enough good things about Bear Remodeling! They completely transformed our outdated bathroom into a stunning spa-like retreat. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, the project manager and his team were professional and detail-oriented. The tile work around our new walk-in shower is flawless, and they suggested some smart storage solutions I wouldn't have thought of. Yes, we went slightly over our original timeline due to some unexpected plumbing issues, but they communicated clearly about it and still finished within our budget. If you're in California looking for quality bathroom remodeling, these guys are the real deal."
"We replaced our old wood siding with vinyl, and we couldn’t be happier. The house looks brand new! The team worked quickly, left the site clean, and the quality is top-notch. Highly recommend if you're looking for a low-maintenance upgrade."
"Ovation Restoration just finished a complete bathroom makeover for us. We have lived here in Cimarron for 32 years and it was time for a Master Bath upgrade. To be honest that the project took longer than we anticipated but the work & craftsmanship exceeded expectations. Each sub-contractor that worked on the job was an expert in their craft. They treated it like it was their own home. I can't say enough about the quality of the work they did for us. The job included full demolition, new floors, new Granite counter tops, with tile back splash, a new tile shower with glass doors, new fixtures, and paint. We talked with three contractors and chose Ovation because of their reviews, the price and the way we felt about our first meeting and interaction with Rick. We really appreciated their input and expertise in several of the recommendations they made along the way. The entire job came in at cost with just a couple of upgrades we made. We are 100% satisfied with the finished job"
"Bay Home Remodeling just finished replacing my tub with a low threshold step-in shower and my standard toilet with a higher, ADA compliant one. Everything came out exactly the way I wanted. I live in a condo so there are limits to what I can change, but I wouldn't hesitate to use Bay Home Remodeling aqgain. Gal, part owner and lead contractor, is a dream to work with: professional and friendly, reliable, honest, clear and accommodating, on and on. He listened to what I wanted, offered a varieties of solutions (after all, he's the expert), checked in daily to make sure his workers were on track, dealt with all the paperwork and inspections needed and generally made my project seamless. Gal and his workers were respectful of my home and were always careful about Covid precautions, never making me feel nervous about them working in my home. Bay Home Remodeling wasn't the lowest bid (it wasn't the highest either), but when you have workers in your home for two weeks+, you want to be confident that the work will be done properly and on time, and want to be on the same page as your contractor. I have absolutely no reservations about recommending Bay Home Remodeling."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
The most common type of tub is the alcove; most bathtubs are shower and tub combinations. Many suburban homes feature these as the default option because they allow the flexibility for users to take a bath or a shower—a notable benefit for those with pets and young kids.
Labor is the most expensive part of a bathroom remodel. If you’re doing a major remodel, structural changes (such as moving walls) and plumbing reconfiguration can be costly. For a standard remodel, the big-ticket items include tiles and new tub or shower fixtures.
Installing a drop-in tub yourself is possible, especially if you’re replacing your existing tub with a new one of the same size. If you’re replacing a different type of tub, you’ll need to build the structure to hold the new drop-in tub and finish the exposed sides. The structure must be sturdy enough to hold the tub when it’s filled with water, and you’ll need to seal it. If any plumbing work is required, it’s best to call a licensed plumber who installs bathtubs.
Professionals can enhance bathroom aesthetics by recommending and implementing design elements such as modern fixtures, high-quality tiles, and efficient layouts. They ensure cohesive style, compliment functionality, and an enhanced visual appeal in the space.
The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.
