"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"RD Allen Construction did a minor roof repair on our business and did an outstanding job. In todays world its hard getting anyone to show up. RD Allen not only showed up on time, but followed up and completed the job in a timely manner. I would hire this company over and over again. Great to work with."
"I have never, ever, EVER dealt with a contractor like this. I requested a quote in Apr 2018. When I called they schedule for the very next day to come give me an estimate. They showed up, took measurements, considered the project, jotted down notes and handed me a precise, single figure, written quote for a new marble walk-in shower. They never once tried to upcharge me or try to convince me I needed more than I asked for. They also explained the process. 4 days, Wes said. Day 1...demolition of the old shower and prep. Day 2...they would fabricate at their shop, so they wouldn't be at the house. Day 3 and Day 4...installation. We held off on the project because of work and summer approaching. When I called then in Aug, they scheduled as soon as my schedule permitted. They came in...Day 1...demolition and prep. Day 2...they didn't come to the house. Day 3 and Day 4...they installed a BEAUTIFUL shower. Jerry handed me the invoice and it was EXACTLY the amount they quoted me 4 months earlier. Not a single penny more. I can't express enough how incredibly impressed I am at the professionalism and quality. They did EXACTLY what they promised. These guys are great!"
"They did a beautiful job, although they made a mistake and never came back out to fix it. Communication was also challenging, and at times unprofessional."
The most cost-effective method of building a shower involves using a prefabricated shower kit, which can be found at most home improvement stores. These kits include preformed shower bases, wall panels, and doors, reducing labor and material costs. You’ll most likely need to hire a local shower installer to make sure it’s installed properly, but it will be less expensive than designing and installing a custom shower.
Time to reinvent your morning routine? Start your shower remodeling process by researching shower installers and fitters in your area. These pros can handle everything from sourcing materials to making sure your installation is sealed properly. Once you find the right team:
Determine your budget
Discuss the extent of your remodel with your contractor
Hire an interior designer if necessary
Choose a plumber for more extensive projects
Shower remodels cover everything from updating tiles to replacing an old bathtub, so tailor the project to your unique vision.
You can find out what type of shower valve you have by checking the manufacturer’s name and the valve’s serial number or model number. That information should be located on the back of the shower trim. You can use the name and number to do a quick online search to figure out which type of shower valve you have.
While a custom shower costs more and is trickier to install than a prefabricated type, tailoring the layout is particularly useful in small bathrooms with limited space and offers complete design freedom. You can build a shower bench for a family member with limited mobility or a shower niche (built-in, ingressed shelves) to hold clutter and act as a focal point.
Pros offer design expertise and suggestions tailored to fit your space, style, and budget.
