"The kitchen and bathroom look great! We had kitchen countertops that, although solid, we’re out of date. Surface Drs. save them from the landfill! They look fantastic! Our 3/4 bath was painted as well. It looks fantastic!!"

"We love our new bathtub, surround and shower doors! Don and Carol came out to give us a price and two weeks later we had a beautiful bathroom. Ken the installer was very professional and very meticulous in his work. He was awesome and did a fantastic job. He always arrived on time and cleaned up very well. We are very happy with Bathcrest of Chicago!"

"Having a 1-year-old changes the way you look at every part of your home ? especially the bathroom. Safety, cleanliness, and convenience suddenly become so important. When we decided to remodel ours, I wanted a space that would make daily routines easier while still feeling calm and comfortable. Century City Baths gave us exactly that. The crew was professional, tidy, and respectful of our home. They worked efficiently and made sure every detail was done carefully. The new bathtub feels secure and comfortable for bath time, and the entire bathroom feels brighter and much easier to maintain. What I appreciate most is how much smoother our routine feels now. Bath time is safer, cleanup is faster, and the space finally works for our family instead of against us."

"From the first interview our sales consultant through the post installation follow-up, we were very happy with the service and work that Excel Windows provided. Sales: We found Matt, our sales rep for Excel, to be friendly, knowledgeable and very responsive to the many questions we had for our large project. Matt walked us through the process of selecting an experienced window installer and quality window, communicating through email, phone and multiple in-person visits, and made sure we were comfortable with Excel’s products and assuring us that we would be receiving the level of service and product quality we desired. Matt always made himself available to answer questions, even after the project moved out of the sales phase and into the installation phase. Installation: During construction, Egor and his partner were very professional and completed the work as cleanly as possible. Of the ~28 windows we had replaced, only a couple required minor paint touchups to the trim and no window trim needed to be replaced. The trim around the sliding doors had to be replaced to allow for door installation, which we were informed about during the sales process. Excel had to be called back out once to fix a piece of warped trim work, but not a major issue. The one thing I wished I had done was ask whether I could buy pre-primed white trim and paint it in advance of Excel replacing the trim around the doors. It would have saved a lot of time in taping and painting the new trim after Excel was done, since they only install unprimed trim. Schedule: The work was completed in about 3.5 days. While this was about a day longer than originally quoted, Excel kept us informed of issues encountered during installation and their impact on the schedule. Leo, the person who scheduled the install crews, was very responsive and accommodating in finding days that worked with our schedule so someone could be home while the work was going on. Product: The Thermal windows we purchased (mostly double hung) are working great and we immediately saw an impact on our electricity bill since we no longer have the 20+ year-old drafty windows that were original to the house. The new windows are easy to move up and down and we like the additional features such as the night locks, screen locks and InvisiScreen. We went with a more contemporary window grid instead of the traditional colonial grid on the windows we replaced, and Excel helped us visualize the windows before ordering them by preparing a mock up of a couple of the windows to make sure we were comfortable with how they looked. We really like how they turned out. We had some issues with the sliding glass doors we purchased in that one of the doors was found to be bowed after installation (factory defect) and had to be replaced. The screen doors had to be adjusted a couple of times so they locked properly. More of a nuisance than anything, and Excel quickly acknowledged there was an issue and did what they could to resolve it as soon as possible. Customer Service: Throughout the process with Excel Windows, we found them to be very professional and responsive to requests and communications from us. Even after the windows and doors were installed and the check was cashed, they called to check up on things and quickly sent someone out if tweaks to anything were needed. As we entered into our first window replacement adventure, customer service and communication was the most important aspect of the project to us, outside of installing quality windows that would last for many years with minimal damage to the surrounding trim. Excel Windows met our lofty expectations in this area, and we would definitely call on them in the future for any window/door needs. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to take on a window and door replacement project, whether big or small, as they did a great job with our fairly large project."

"Excellent job repairing our deck! The job was to power wash, replace boards as needed, and paint. The power wash and replacement of boards was well done. Two coats of paint were applied well. Our unhappiness stems from the finished project's paint not looking at all like the paint chip. We get that the actual paint job won't be a perfect match to the chip, but this was way off and way too light. We noticed as they were going into the second coat and said that it didn't look right. Even after it dried, the color was very much too light. I wish they'd had enough knowledge (?) to advise us of this before they got the paint. They kind of shrugged off our complaint because "this is the shade you ordered." We paid in full for the work they did. Then went to Menard's and found a darker shade of the same paint line that we applied ourselves. The deck looks great now."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

There are a few things you can do to keep your bathroom remodel as affordable as possible in your mobile home:

  • Ask your contractor to replace caulk and grout rather than retiling

  • Ask your professional to refinish your tub/shower rather than replacing

  • Upgrade your sink fixtures rather than replacing the sink

  • Upgrade cabinet hardware and ask your remodeler to refinish the cabinets

  • Avoid changing the layout of your bathroom

The most common type of tub is the alcove; most bathtubs are shower and tub combinations. Many suburban homes feature these as the default option because they allow the flexibility for users to take a bath or a shower—a notable benefit for those with pets and young kids.

Bathtub and shower liners come in different colors, so make sure you select one to match the rest of the bathroom. Hire a local bath liner installer for the job since they have the expertise, tools, and materials to install it correctly. Request at least three quotes from various contractors and compare their rates and services.

Roman tubs are very different from ordinary tubs. A Roman tub is typically deeper and broader than a traditional tub, and it's often installed on a custom platform with the faucet positioned on the deck rather than on the wall. Ordinary tubs are more shallow and usually feature built-in shower options

It’s substantially less expensive to reglaze a tub than to replace it. The average cost of reglazing a bathtub is between $400 and $700, but that range may be higher based on where you live and the type of tub you have. Meanwhile, if you want to replace the bathtub, you’re looking at $2,000 to $9,400, with the average close to $5,700.
