"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
The plumbing industry has standardized the sizes for bathtub drains. They are 1 1/2 inches wide to fit all standard bathtubs from 14 to 26 inches deep. The standard sizing is to ensure that the drain fits into the P trap, a special part of your piping that prevents sewer water from bubbling up into your home (yuck).
The first thing to consider when converting a tub into a shower is whether you’d like to simply change out the tub or undertake a complete bathroom remodel. If you’re unsure, reviewing bathroom remodeling ideas can help you decide whether you’re satisfied with your space or could use a change. From there, decide if you’ll handle the job yourself or hire a pro, and then set a budget.
Different bathtub materials have various advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron and copper are considered the most durable materials because they are dense and resistant to damage from scratches or dents. However, cast-iron tubs are heavy, expensive, and may not be suitable for upper floors. Copper offers unique benefits but requires regular chemical treatment to prevent a patina from forming, making cast iron a less maintenance-intensive option. Porcelain is a good second choice for durability. For those on a budget, acrylic is a popular option, though it is less durable.
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.
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.
