"From the sales to scheduling to install, everyone was helpful and professional. The installers were right on time, completed the job a lot quicker than anticipated and did a great job cleaning up as they went. Very professional and love my new shower. Highly recommend them!"

"We reached out to Jeff based on previous reviews here on Angie's List and we were not disappointed. We gutted and renovated a full bath, including replacing a tub with a glass enclosed shower. Jeff and his team do very high quality work and are extremely professional. They finished on schedule and in record time. As the walls were opened, we ended up needing to change our initial design and this was done with no effort and no issue. Jeff is very communicative and transparent, so there were no surprises. We valued his opinions and experience as the project progressed and were very pleased with the outcome. We would definitely recommend and would use him again!"
"Our existing bathroom was a half bathroom with sink vanity, toilet, washer and dryer. We needed to eliminate laundry equipment and add shower and closet in the space that was designated for a washer and dryer, and add outside venting. We also wanted to tile the whole bathroom up to the ceiling. The job was performed excellent and we are very happy with the choices we made. Bill Perry and his crew were working in our house before renovating basement and building rooms there, so we knew that they were the best company for us. They were great giving us advice to improve on things that we wanted done, so they look and work better with a given space. We are very happy again. Thank you Perry Brothers!"
"When they say they will be there they are if there is a problem they keep you up to date. They are very professional and pleasant. Glad to have found them and will be giving them more work to do."

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
In most cases, you can remove your showerhead without turning off your main water supply. You just need to make sure your shower isn’t on before you screw off the showerhead. That said, you may experience a small trickle of leftover water in the pipe.
If you have an older showerhead, it may be a good idea to turn off the main water supply because this job can put pressure on the pipes. If you have a shower shut-off valve, it will be hidden somewhere in a nearby access panel.
To know if your shower pan is bad, look for signs that your shower pan is leaking. If your pan moves under your feet, there’s likely damage below it. Other signs of serious damage include visible cracks or the pan moving up and down when you step in and out of the shower.
Take quick action if you notice water stains on the ceiling or seams below the shower. If the base of your shower is always leaking or you have moldy grout by the base, call a pro to check it out.
A walk-in shower without a door is referred to as a barrier-free shower or doorless walk-in shower. This feature makes the shower more accessible for people with disabilities, but it can also be attractive for minimalist designs because of the clean lines. A doorless walk-in shower also means one less surface to clean, but they can have downsides like splashing water and a lack of privacy, so do your research first.
Indications include persistent leaks, mold growth, outdated style, or recurring plumbing issues.
Yes, you can replace just the shower pan and leave the shower base as-is. However, you may need to replace both if the pan is leaking and causing damage to the base, like cracks. In this case, getting a new pan won’t fix your problems because you’ll eventually notice water damage in your home.
