"Just had Kevin refinish three 30 year old white porcelain sinks that had many cracks. Turned out great. This a more economical way to go, we did not want to do a full sink replacement and bathroom remodel. Re-nu is professional and does great work. As always, go with licensed contractors and A rated better business BBB ratings. Be forewarned, will need to keep your windows open to let the chemicals air out"
"New Flow & Rooter were on time, very professional, price was very reasonable. Superwoman couldn't remove/replace the bathtub faucet cartridge, but Vito changed it with ease - Thank you!!"
"Our 60-year-old bathroom has been completely transformed. We had some water damage on the floor and in the pony wall. Wiseman’s replaced the damaged wood and rebuilt the wall. We wanted to add a shower to the existing bathtub. They were able to plumb the new bathtub and shower. It’s very quiet and it looks great. Wiseman’s also remodeled my kitchen in another home, and three years later, we still love it. We couldn’t be happier with their work."
"I was desperate for getting my bathroom done after tearing the whole thing out myself. I was standing there looking at the blank canvas of a used to be bathroom thinking to myself o great I have no clue on going from a bathtub to a shower remodel. I had completely forgot that I had reached out to Dabella and had scheduled an appointment and when Alicia showed up she was just a breath of fresh air! I was able to address my needs and work with my budget. I now will have a brand new shower and bathroom that will be functioning as well as exactly what we asked for. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely Dara Zimmer and family!"
"Rick and his team of sub-contractors did a great job working with us on our kitchen and family room remodel. They removed a wall, completely removed and replaced the cabinets, installed all appliances and replaced the floors throughout the first floor. The work was done professionally and quickly. In addition to the kitchen renovation, they also installed custom, built in shelves and floor to ceiling stacked stone around our fireplace. They were friendly, easy to work with, and answered all our questions. Any concerns were quickly addressed. We love the end result and would absolutely use Rick and his team again."
"Vadim and his team did outstanding work on this major remodel. He is a craftsman that is very cost competitive, trustworthy and responsive. Vadim brought the kitchen remodel on time and budget. He relied on his crew to do the work and only brought others when we asked the HVAC system be replaced. And then it was an expert he has worked with over the years. I will use Vadim in the future and highly recommend him. Ask Vadim for my number if you want more details. Tim"
"Hired to remodel 2 bathrooms. I should have hired Arayik to do the tile in the showers and floors only. The tile work was fine but electrical, plumbing and woodworking was unacceptable. Electrical outlets that were relocated had to be reset and wall repairs had to be redone to allow texture and paint to be done. Base boards installed by Arayik had very uneven gaps above tile floor and had to be replaced."

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.
Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.
Acrylic bathtubs can last up to 30 years without major issues if they receive the right care and maintenance. They can last even longer but might scratch or stain as they age. The expected longevity is a major factor when investing in a new tub. Cast-iron tubs are the longest-lasting option.
A powder room cannot have a bath. If it had a bath, it would likely be considered a three-quarter bath or full bath, depending on the other features. You might hear the term “powder room” used to describe a bathroom used by guests, but it wouldn’t technically be a powder room. However, powder rooms or half baths are ideal for guests because they can use it without entering the more private areas of the home.
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.
