"Excellent! Appointment was on time, and friendly and professional service. I had a jammed garbage disposal that was quickly determined to be from a soda can tab. Additionally, I had two wall sconces hung. I am very pleased with the work that was done."

Customers say: Quick response

"It took me a while to write this review and I'm glad I waited 2 years to do it because I am able to say that the one year warranty was honored in a timely manner, and the quality of the work is evident 2 years later. Charles and his crew is incredibly respectful, professional, and kind. I've worked with a few different contractors now and no one measures up the the level of customer service, containment of the mess that comes with remodeling, and quality of work. Initially the shower tile was not looking good and Charles immediately replaced the tiler with someone else who corrected the job and did a fantastic job. There were 3 instances soon after the job was complete in which a few things needed to be repaired. Charles sent someone promptly and he fixed everything so that it did not need to be repaired again. Charles even hires someone to clean your house after the job. Although she doesn't do a great job, it helps to remove that initial layer of dust from all the furniture and floors. This was my first big remodel that I handled mostly on my own and so I needed more guidance in the design aspect. I was not happy with the color I picked for the cabinets or the size of the sinks I picked. Charles limits his input in the design, so you should know exactly what you want and how you want it. Compared to other contractors, Charles and his team are the best I've dealt with and offer good quality work. He may be a little more expensive but the extra cost saves you the torment of working with unprofessional contractors who may rip you off or do the job incorrectly and end up costing more to repair a bad job. I highly recommend Repairs and Remodels on Demand and want to thank Charles and his crew for their excellent work ethic, politeness, and caliber of work."

"I contacted Anderson Plumbing Heating & Air, a honest and trustworthy company after I realized at the last minute I needed a refrigerator water line assessment and they quickly sent Miguel to my home who noticed upon assessment inspection the water pressure was unsatisfactory and recommended replacing the water pressure valve in addition to the refrigerator water line. Miguel was absolutely amazing , a breath of fresh air, very easy to work with, and managed to accommodate my water line hookup needs fitting me into his busy schedule. Miguel provided me with a great service experience at very reasonable price! He went above and beyond providing before and after pictures of my old and new water setup, answers all of my questions, all while providing outstanding customer service with a smile & 10/10 quality of work! Thank you Miguel for a great refrigerator water line hook up experience !!"

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

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.

Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.

When buying caulk, look for ones labeled for tub and tile. These have either acrylic latex or silicone compounds. This allows the caulk to stick to smooth surfaces and prevent mildew from forming. 

Whether replacing a bathtub with a shower affects your home's value depends on several factors, with the most significant being whether it's the only tub in the house. Removing the sole bathtub can lower a home's value because many prospective buyers, particularly families with young children or pets, require at least one.

However, a tub-to-shower conversion can also increase home value. A modern walk-in shower is often seen as an upgrade in a secondary bathroom and can be a desirable feature for its accessibility and style, appealing to older homebuyers or those without children. The overall impact is also influenced by your local real estate market and its typical buyer demographic.

If your bathroom layout allows, installing both a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower can be an ideal solution that appeals to the widest range of potential buyers.

Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
