"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."
"I really cannot say enough good things about our experience with Kinsella! For starters, we had gone through NINETEEN other contractors before we found Kinsella. Many said the job was too big or too small, but a half dozen of them said they could/would do the job, and then totally ghosted during the quoting process. In hindsight, I am so glad that they did so that we could end up with Kinsella. The whole Kinsella team was so kind, professional, punctual every day, did PHENOMENAL work, and always took the time to answer any questions we had and explain to us in detail what was going on in the project. They even provided some guidance for us for other changes we plan to make to our home in the future. For our project, they removed a load bearing wall and installed a 22' beam, removed/moved/replaced electrical according to the removed wall, removed the old electrical baseboard heaters in the home, added recessed lighting, and installed a center kitchen island with electrical hook ups. (Please note, per our choice, the scope of our project did not include paint, flooring, or island countertop installation. That's why the photos I attached have the space still "unfinished"). The work they did was so perfect, it looks like there was never a wall there. The way they explained the structural changes and even pointed out (and corrected!) some issues with the original build of our home made us so confident in the work they were doing. Even the inspectors were very complimentary. Our contractor communicated excellently through every step. The owner of the group was in constant contact. From day 1, they made it so clear how much they cared and how seriously they took the job. I really can't say enough good things about them."
"The porch was wood and had rotted out. Joe DaSilva gave me a reasonable estimate and his carpenter Francisco rebuilt the porch and did a beautiful job using quality materials that will require no maintenance. I also had repairs done to the shed where the supporting beam had to be replaced. Everything was done in a professional manner."
"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 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 recently had my bathroom remodeled by Integrity Bathworks and the results came out incredible. Josh and Greg did an amazing job from start to finish. They were professional, easy to work with, and the quality of the craftsmanship really shows. The bathroom looks clean, modern, and completely transformed. You can tell they take pride in their work and make sure everything is done right. I?d definitely recommend Integrity Bathworks to anyone looking to upgrade their bathroom."
"We hit the lottery with John and his team. They were totally professional but also personable. They came every day and, by and large, did not use sub contractors, so that we got to know the folks that were in out house for weeks and weeks. Gary, who was in charge of our project, was beyond amazing. We did a gut to the studs in our 1939 kitchen and in less than 7 weeks from start to finish they transformed it into something the 21st century can be proud of. They were neat and respectful throughout the process. Their work reflected attention to the smallest details. In the beginning, John listened carefully to my plan, disagreeing with some of my ideas and explaining why. I agreed with some of his wise suggestions and held firm to others (Yes, I wanted an island even though the kitchen is small) and he found a way to make it work. He worked within out budget without scrimping on quality or materials. We just simply could not be happier, and are having them back in the spring to replace windows and re-do our front porch. Before, during, and after photos attached. My only reservation is that once more people realize what a gem this company is, it will take forever to book them ;-)"
"The house we bought had an existing, partially finished, unpermitted basement. We hired Crystal Renovations to re-do the space so it would be functional, more in line with our taste & permitted. They made the laundry room an actual room as opposed to a basement area with a washer & dryer, took down the drop ceiling & replaced it with a real ceiling, took out the 1984 glass block surround to the shower & replaced with drywall, repaired stairs going down to the area & laid new floor throughout. Pedro & his crew were incredibly efficient - the whole process took around 10 days. We were fortunate & they didn’t run into any unforeseen issues once all the demo was done, so the final cost was in line with what had been quoted & the modifications we agreed to. They transformed an ugly, afterthought of a basement into an entire new living space to our house that is functional & looks fantastic. We would definitely hire them again & highly recommend."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
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.
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
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.
Yes, a bathroom remodel is a worthwhile home improvement project that typically adds value to your home, offering a return on investment (ROI) between 60% and 70%. Potential buyers look closely at bathrooms and kitchens, as these are often the most expensive rooms to renovate. A modern, updated bathroom is more appealing and assures buyers that the plumbing, fixtures, and flooring have a long, useful life ahead. Beyond the financial return, a remodel can also greatly increase your day-to-day satisfaction by creating a more inviting, spa-like space. Even a basic refresh with new paint and accessories can make a significant difference.
Updating to modern styles and efficient models can enhance bathroom appeal and increase property value.
