"Very Professional and attention to detail. Installation crew were very courteous and good at what they do. Quality Installation If you are looking to replace your tub or shower, I highly recommend Bay State Luxury Bath"
"While the quality of work and clean up performed by the crew was outstanding and Iâ m pleased with the finished product the crew didnâ t arrive until almost 11 and didnâ t leave until 9 PM. While I appreciate the goal of a new bathtub/shower replaced in as little as a day working until 9 PM is not acceptable. When setting up the appointment it needs to be stated very clearly what the expectations are for the day. As I said, Iâ m very happy with the finished product but 20k which includes no installation cost is way too much for what was actually provided."
"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 recently had my bathroom remodeled by Integrity Bathworks and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out. The quality of the work is excellent and the whole space looks brand new. They were professional, worked efficiently, and paid attention to every detail. The transformation is amazing and the bathroom looks clean, modern, and built to last. I would definitely recommend Integrity Bathworks to anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom."
"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."
"The job was done superbly!!!! We are very satisfied and would use Busy Bee and John again. He was pleasant and easy to work with. He returned all emails and phone calls promptly - something that not all contractors do! He was always amenable to changes in the plans before and during the project. He made excellent suggestions, gave good advice and hunted down the little touches like matching chrome door knob and hinges that made our bathroom special. The small space was a challenge, but his team handled it well. Busy Bee's team arrived every day on time and cleaned up before they left. We really appreciated that! They worked as fast as they could as we had no other shower in the house. We contacted three other contractors and all had estimates that were not only much more than John's, but also included less in the cost. When our bathroom under went it's final inspection the inspector commented that it was a very pretty bathroom. Thanks to Busy Bee! "
"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."
"Excellent work. He replaced a drop ceiling and installed a window. He is confident and has every reason to be. The job was done on time and the clean up was perfect."
"Pedro Quissanga was wonderful throughout the process. The project started out as a porch window replacement with an architect drawing plans, but once we started construction, we discovered that the whole underneath part was rotting and needed reconstruction. Pedro and his crew were hard working, reliable and careful, and his price for all of the work was very reasonable. When something went awry late in the construction, Pedro took it seriously and got people over within hours to locate the issue and fix the problem. Even though the project ended up being much more difficult than initially expected, there were never any unexpected charges and the additional work was at a consistent high level. We recommend Crystal Renovations without reservation and have several neighbors using them now for small-to-medium sized projects."
"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."

Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
Different bathtub materials have various advantages and disadvantages. Cast iron and copper are considered the most durable materials because they are dense and resistant to damage from scratches or dents. However, cast-iron tubs are heavy, expensive, and may not be suitable for upper floors. Copper offers unique benefits but requires regular chemical treatment to prevent a patina from forming, making cast iron a less maintenance-intensive option. Porcelain is a good second choice for durability. For those on a budget, acrylic is a popular option, though it is less durable.
Persistent leaks, outdated styles, or surface damage are indicators for a replacement.
Regular cleaning, immediate leak repairs, and avoiding abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.
