Can you shower right after caulking?

• <div><p>No. You should let the caulk completely dry before you expose it to moisture. It’s safest to wait at least a full day before showering where you’ve recently caulked. Showering before caulk is fully dry can lead to a poor seal, meaning water can seep into cracks and cause damage and mold growth. </p></div>

Q: What causes holes in a bathtub?

• <div><p>While tubs are fairly sturdy, you may notice cracks or holes. This kind of damage can happen from someone accidentally dropping something heavy into the tub. You might also see damage if you drop something heavy into the tub over and over again (like your extra large bottle of body wash). While you might only notice a small dent at first, this can later turn into a crack or a hole.</p><p>Also, certain cleaners that are harmful to your tub can cause damage. And if you have a fiberglass tub, you might see cracks if it was not installed properly with the right support.</p></div>

Q: How long do acrylic bathtubs last?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Is rust in the bathtub harmful?

• <div><p>Rust in your bathtub occurs when iron in the water or on metal components in your tub are exposed to oxygen, but while it&rsquo;s unsightly, it won&rsquo;t make bathing dangerous. However, if the rust appears under or around your tub spout or shower head, it could indicate that you have high levels of iron in your water. Drinking water with small amounts of iron in it usually doesn&rsquo;t pose a health risk, but you might want to consider installing a water softener. The presence of iron could indicate that you have hard water, which can create some plumbing issues.</p></div>

Q: Do acrylic tubs crack easily?

• <div><p>Acrylic tubs are extremely durable and rarely chip or crack. Even when frequently used, tubs made with this material are largely resistant to damage. However, damage may occur as the tub ages. They can also crack from damage from heavy objects and cleaners or a lack of support. </p></div>

Great guy. Really helped out with a very inexpensive solution. He completed a part and suggested DIY for the rest. Really honest guy.

They did a great job! I couldn't afford to get the entire driveway done so they paved what I could afford which was $6000. The worst part they paved which is a big help. To get it all done would have been $16000. They offered to do the rest when my budget allows.

Ivan is a joy to work with and his work is excellent. He really understands woods and has a very gentle touch. It is wonderful to find a young man who understands how to restore wood and appreciates the value of beautiful woods.

The guesthouse addition turned out beautifully and better than we had imagined from the designs. From the outside, the addition matches the old house and the rest of the neighborhood perfectly. We've gotten many compliments from the neighbors too.
