They cam within a day of when I called, assessed and fixed one problem, installed a new water heater the same day, and returned the next day to install new pipes above the water heater.

Office personnel were also friendly and knowledgeable. Will only use them from now on."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
Walk-in showers aren’t necessarily better. It depends on your circumstances. On the one hand, they’re more accessible—especially for people who use a wheelchair. They also take up less space than bathtubs and are ideal for small bathrooms. On the other hand, some families may need a bathtub to bathe young children and pets.
There are many benefits of converting a tub to a walk-in shower, including:
Increasing home value (if there’s another tub in the house)
Taking up less space and improving bathroom space flow
Making bathrooms look larger
Improving home safety by removing a major trip-and-fall hazard
Easing showering for those who benefit from more accessibility
Saving money on water bills
A quality shower tiling project is a bathroom upgrade that can increase resale value. Bathroom remodels have the highest return on investments for any home update. Tiling a shower won’t offer the potential 70% ROI that a full bathroom remodel involving upgrading fixtures, installing storage, and a complete room retile will. However, you can expect an average return of 55% to 60% for this refresh.
The lifespan of a shower base depends on how often the shower is used, how it’s used, and how well it’s maintained. Acrylic and fiberglass shower bases last 10 to 15 years, while tile shower bases can last up to 20 years. However, if two people often use the shower at once or if heavy items are regularly dropped in the shower, the shower base’s lifespan might be shorter than average.
You can install a shower pan liner over plywood using the steps outlined above. However, before pouring the mortar pre-slope or installing a premanufactured slope product, check the condition of the plywood. The subfloor should be stable, level, and free of rot or other damage.
