"After interviewing several contractors, I decided to hire John Carenzo. I had severe water damage to an outdated bathroom . The water was leaking into a downstairs room and the flooring and drywall were rotted out as a result. John agreed to take on this challenging job. He turned my bathroom from a disaster into a beautiful space. He was extremely professional, cleaned up each day, and his rate was beyond reasonable in comparison to other contractors interviewed. He did not try to nickel and dime me and would not take final payment until we looked at the final result of the fantastic transformation together looking over each detail. He replaced sub flooring and installed porcelain tile through, replaced damaged drywall, removed popcorn ceiling to a smooth surface, replaced vanity and vanity fixtures, installed new light fixtures, painted entire room and even hung my new towel rack He completed this in one week as promised. I already have talked to John about future projects I'm planning in the spring. I consider John my go to contractor for any jobs big or small in the future. There is no need to look any further."

"Gisele and her team do an amazing job cleaning! We had them do a deep cleaning and now they come every other week. Truly our house has never been this clean. We first met Gisele and Almir when they did a proposal for replacing our back deck a couple of years ago--they were great to work with, they had the best price, and Almir and his crew did a wonderful job. Communication with Gisele is really easy and she is very responsive."

"Replaced a bow window and a patio slider. They accomplished it all in one day. They were clean, covered everything up when they were working so there was minimal dust. Vacuumed when they finished. Pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Rite Window."

"To All Homeowners Iâ  m proud to endorse Andy Michell on what I call quality workmanship at a fair price. He gets the job done within the time frame he feels it will take to get the job done right. Andy just finished installing a new deck and porch for my wife and I and we couldnâ  t be happier. He helped us in making the right choices when selecting the colors we could all agree on and some extra repairs that he pointed out for us to consider. He is truly a professional when it comes to home additions and repairs. Thanks Andy Bill Hastings Ware Ma."

"They replaced an entry door as well as a storm door. There was an unexpected problem which Tim handled with ease and did an exceptional job. He made sure I was happy with everything that was done and then cleaned up everything when he was done. Emily and Alaska were very conscientious in keeping me updated on the progress of my project. I would deal with them again if there was ever a need."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

A good soaking tub will allow you to completely submerge yourself in the water, so it needs to be at least 20 inches deep. Luxury soaking tubs are 24 inches deep so that you can easily have enough space to be submerged in the water once the tub is full.

There are several ways to save money on a bathroom remodel through proper planning and savvy design strategies. To reduce costs, consider the following:

  • Purchase your own materials: Buy your own bathroom fixtures, hardware, and other materials to avoid contractor upcharges and delivery fees.

  • Shop smart for big-ticket items: Save on pricey items like tiles and tubs by shopping sales and at discount stores.

  • Avoid major layout changes: Keep plumbing in its current location. Opt to replace fixtures rather than moving them to avoid significant renovation work.

  • Focus on high-impact, low-cost updates: Make affordable but impactful smaller changes, such as upgrading hardware, installing new lighting, and adding stylish but economical accessories.

  • DIY where possible: Handle easier parts of the remodel yourself, like painting or installing light fixtures, to save on labor costs.

  • Time your remodel strategically: Consider remodeling in the spring, which tends to be a lower-demand time of year and may result in lower costs.

Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. Bathtub installation by a plumber is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan.

You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub—or any potential refinishing—is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.

Whether converting a tub to a shower is worth it depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. For many, a shower is a safer option that reduces the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, making it a valuable upgrade. It can also be a worthwhile conversion if a shower is more practical for your lifestyle and you rarely use the tub. However, there are potential downsides to consider. The cost, which can range from $1,200 to $8,000, can be a deterrent. Additionally, if you have young children, a bathtub is often easier for bathing them. Finally, removing the only bathtub in a home can potentially lower its resale value in the eyes of some buyers.
