"We had a tub to shower conversion and we couldn't be happier. Eli S and Adrian M were amazing. They were very professional and friendly. We will definitely be hiring them for future projects."
"Excellent. The difference between the old drafty windows and the new ones is amazing. I haven't had to have a space heater running all night. I can't wait to see what the difference will be on my utility bills this winter and summer. Plus can have windows open in the summer now because my old ones didn't even have screens.
I flip houses and do remodeling for a living and have done business with the owner in the past. Always professional and even came by during the installation to check on the progress and quality. I will continue to use Windows Direct of Cincinnati in all of my future progects and highly recommend them. I have recommend them to friends, neighbors, and other contractors also."
"Had them come out and give me a price. They were very professional and did an excellent job on my shower. Thank you!! Would recommend to anyone who needs a shower!!!"
"We were very satisfied with creative tile. I would definitely hire them again. They were very prompt, communicated well, and kept the worksite as clean as possible. We had a large tub removed and replaced with a large shower. It is beautiful and the tiling job is perfect."
"Can’t say enough good things about our experience with Windows Plus! We had a shower and tub replacement and were thrilled with the results. Everyone was great from scheduling to sales to installation. Eli and Dwayne did a fantastic job with the install. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Windows Plus for any home improvements."
"I highly recommend Benjamin Franklin Plumbing. 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. The plumbers were polite, professional, and explained clearly what they were doing. Pricing was very reasonable and I also have a yearly service contract. Office personnel were also friendly and knowledgeable. Will only use them from now on."
"Footprints remodeled our bathroom, hallway, and closet. The shower turned out gorgeous and the floor looks great. We ran into a problem with the laundry room floor but the owner came back out on his own time to fix it personally. Highly recommend"
"We had them to do two bathtub and shower replacements. Very reasonable pricing. Rafael and his crew were very kind and personable. We are happy with our new tub and showers. Thank you for doing the job. Will call them for any further jobs we have."
Adding a shower to a half bath transforms it into a three-quarter bath. Compared to converting a half bath into a full bath, this type of conversion is a more affordable way to add functionality and accessibility. This project can add around 5% to 6% to the value of your home, especially if you only have one full bathroom or your only shower is on an upper level. This is a common upgrade for a ground floor when homeowners are hoping to age in place.
Shower arms come in a standard size with ½-inch NPT, but designs vary. The height of the water supply pipe and the showerhead height you want affect the type of shower arm you should choose. For example, a water outlet that’s located close to the ceiling would be suitable for a standard shower arm (small extension with a slight downward angle) or a straight arm model. Outlets situated lower in the shower allow for gooseneck shower arms, which can raise the showerhead's height.
Whether you should buy a shower stall or build a shower depends on your needs, budget, and overall shower design preferences. Prefabricated shower stalls are less expensive to buy and install than custom showers, but they come in limited styles, colors, and sizes. If you have a unique or specific design in mind or special requirements like accessibility features, hire a professional shower contractor. Custom showers installed by a pro can also last longer than prefabricated shower stalls.
Generally, shower walls should not be installed over drywall because of the moisture issues this can cause. If you’re using a direct-to-stud shower kit, you need to remove the drywall before you can do the installation.
However, if you’re using a glue-up shower kit or stall, you can glue the shower walls directly to drywall. Be sure to install a moisture-resistant drywall or waterproof cement board.
Yes, you can use your steam shower to take regular showers and steam showers. Many people opt to use a regular shower daily while using the steam shower less frequently when they have more time. Keep in mind that after you take a steam shower you’ll need to run the fan longer than after regular showers to avoid mold and mildew growth. You’ll also need to clean your shower more often if you’re using the steam function.
