"Jeff Veglia and his team did a great job on my condo renovation after we suffered extensive damage from a water leak. The project included a complete kitchen remodel, custom cabinets, plumbing, electrical, ceramic tiles, and all new plaster walls. Also replaced were dining room, living room and bedroom hardwood floors, and new plaster ceiling and vinyl flooring in the basement. We are very grateful to Jeff for his responsiveness and professionalism on this project."
"I’ve worked with SILMAC on several renovations and called again for refinishing a floor and replacing a stairway. As always, I made the right choice! The price was reasonable and the timeline fit my needs. Although I was out of the state much of the time, Joe coordinated seamlessly and got the work done in a timely manner. The final product looks amazing!! I would highly recommend SILMAC and definitely hire them again."
"We have a bathroom that needs a number of repairs: new floor and counter top, window replacement or repair, tub refinishing, new cabinet door, etc. I sent e-mail inquiries to three companies; John Downie at Busy-Bee was the only one to respond. He came to the house the first Saturday after my e-mail and met with my husband and me. He said he could do the job but that it would make better sense for us financially to divide the work into smaller projects and farm them out to specialists. For example, he recommended that we pick out a new flooring at Lowe's and have Lowe's install it. If he had his crew install the same floor, he would charge us much more. We think he gave us excellent advice and are following it. "
"An amazing transformation of my bathroom in just one week! I opted to gt an acrylic surround in the shower and tile floor in the one bathroom in my house. I couldn't wait weeks to use it again, but the Integrity bath works team managed to do the major work, including swapping the toilet and sink AND replacing the exterior window, within the week! It was crazy to see everything demolished down to the studs and built up so quickly! I do like my extra deep tub, and I've found that a bonus to the acrylic shower surround is that it doesn't get as cold on the exterior wall as the tile did."
"I had my roof replaced. The salesperson was knowledgeable and very personable. Bridget was amazing. Communication was great throughout the entire process and I was satisfied with the results."
"I've used this company several times to replace Decks and patio in my house and to renovate a bathroom. From the initial visit to the finished job, everybody in this company is professional and cares about what they are doing. The guys are so great to work with. It's hard to find a contractor you can trust, and I trust these guys completely. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for anything I needed done in the house."
"Bob did a perfect job on exactly what I wanted on replacing fireplace mantel and having tile on the floor and around the fireplace. I would highly recommend Bob and his crew to do any project ."
"We acquired a condominium on the 2nd floor of a 2 family house in Arlington. MA. The existing hardwood floors were beyond repair and we wanted to add a 2nd bathroom. In addition we wanted to integrate the existing sun porch into the living room to more than recover the area lost to the new bathroom, and install central A/C. We had estimates from three other contractors before we met with Pedro from Crystal Renovations. His pricing was very competitive relative to the other contractors, but that was mostly due to the others trying to add work that we didn't want or need. Pedro listened to what we wanted and worked with us to accomplish it. From the very beginning of the project until the end Pedro was always responsive and answered, emails, texts, and phone messages in a very timely fashion. He and his crew and subs were a pleasure to work with and any issues that arose were dealt with in a calm and professional manner. Before and during the project Pedro made several design suggestions such as recessed lighting on the sun porch, shower stall light, and new bath layout that definitely improved on our original thoughts. In the end the project came in on time and with a very small increase to the original estimate despite some challenges he and his crew had to work through. The best part, though, is the absolute impeccable quality of the finished product. We highly recommend Pedro and Crystal Renovations and plan to use them again in the near future."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.
A chipped bathtub could leak over time if you don’t take care of the issue. A tiny chip isn’t a big deal but may eventually grow into a larger crack. As the months go by, the tub’s barrier against moisture becomes weakened, making it prone to leaking. Large chips can also cause the tub to rust and even crack in half.
Acrylic tubs can fade or turn yellow over time due to thick layers of accumulated dirt, hard water deposits from minerals, and shampoo or soap dyes. Also, as an acrylic tub ages, it may become dull or change color due to changes in the acrylic itself.
DIY installation of a walk-in tub is not recommended as it is a challenging and risky project that requires advanced plumbing knowledge. Professional installation is crucial to ensure a proper and safe setup, water-tight conditions, adherence to local building codes, and the preservation of your product's warranty.
Regular cleaning, immediate leak repairs, and avoiding abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
