"The workers that came were prompt and did their work with few interruptions except to ask me questions about how I wanted something placed. It was done (bathtub and wet area remodel) in two days and after waiting 24 hours I was able to enjoy a nice long deep soak bath. No regrets here. It's only been a few months so I can't speak to anything that may happen long term down the road but it's lifetime warranty so that's covered. Also their rep was the most calm and professional out of a number that came to give a quote."
"Dave did great work for us. We wanted to update three bathrooms. Dave replaced the floors, vanities, mirrors, and all the fixtures. He also brought in a subcontractor to reglazed the tubs. Dave finished on time, on budget, and the work looks great. I will definitely call Dave next time I need a contractor or handyman."

"Also Construction has been incredibly amazing in their rebuild remodel of my kitchen living room bathrooms not to mention the fairness in their cost of doing the work. Their workmanship is amazing they show up when they say theyâ re going to show up they communicate their considerate I canâ t say enough especially with Construction itâ s so difficult to find a good reputable company that has fair pricing I encourage you to get your estimates and get your work done."
"Bottom Line First: Charles (owner) and his team are professional and very customer-focused. Remodels can be disruptive and challenging for the homeowner, but this team will do everything it can to provide solutions and keep the project moving forward. It's a plus that they are also pleasant and personable folks to have in your home. This project involved totally gutting and replacing a guest bath and a master bath, last remodeled in the 70's, and included replacing all fixtures (tub, toilets, vanities, sinks, lighting, mirrors, tile, exhaust fans, etc) and expanding a small shower in the master bath to more than double its original size. This is a 60's home and came with the typical challenges. They found asbestos tiles under the old floor tiles which needed to be abated and a corroded cast iron sewer line (under the slab) that needed to be dug up and replaced. Charles was great about presenting options and solutions to complete the work. I asked a lot of questions and made some changes along the way and they were very customer-focused in providing explanations and suggestions. I also appreciate their policy of providing materials at cost and the ability to negotiate better rates with vendors than I could by myself. In the end, both bathrooms look great. Major construction is a messy process, but they were neater than most and sent in a cleaning service at the end. I would hire them again without hesitation — and in fact I already have, to replace a fence damaged in a recent storm."
"Al and his crew do an outstanding job! We have used them for both housecleaning and handyman services. Highly recommend. They have done a spring/deep cleaning which made the house look sparkly clean again, as well well as bi weekly cleaning to keep it maintained. In additon, we needed two doors replaced and they were able to handle this in just a few hours and at a reasonable price."
"Just completed our Bathroom remodel. Didi and his team did everything from design, demolition, install, paint, electrical, plumbing, and even knocked out a wall. I could not be happier with the service received and the constant communication. No remodel happens without hiccups and dealing with Sheiner Construction made these issues pain free for my wife and I. The attention to detail was great and not over looked. I would recommend to friends and family and anyone that wants a job well done."
"This bathroom remodel has completely changed how we use the space! The team worked with us every step of the way to create a modern, functional, and beautiful bathroom. The craftsmanship is top-notch, and the finished product is exactly what we envisioned. We are thrilled with how it turned out!"
"Mission Bay Plumbing did a great job on the replacement of my bathtub. The team worked diligently through out the process and tidied up the place before they left the job site at the end of each day. They were very helpful at providing me with professional advice about the product, the different options I have, and willing to to work with me to get the job done. The entire team was friendly and their customer service was very good as they kept me updated on their schedule and progress. Overall, I am happy with the team's professional work. Great job!"
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.
Options include alcove, freestanding, clawfoot, or whirlpool tubs for various preferences.
You can use a new bathtub after 24 to 48 hours. It's best to double-check with your plumber, though, because the time can depend on the type of bathtub installed and special process or materials used. For example, certain sealants need longer to cure, or if the installation involves extensive plumbing work, the plumber might want you to wait.
To keep a walk-in tub in good condition, clean it regularly with non-abrasive cleaners. It is also important to periodically inspect the seals, jets, and faucets to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Adding a soaking tub can increase your return on investment (ROI) for a bathroom remodel, with many people recouping a 60% ROI when adding a soaking tub. To get the best value from installing a soaking tub, make sure that your floor plan allows the tub to act as a focal point in your bathroom, adding aesthetic value as well as being practical.
