"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."
"Emergency plumbing job on main water line, tenants without water, early morning call to Mr. Collazo, repaired in an expedited and professional manner, only team that I trust."
"We have an older house and bathfitters made it feel brand new. I love our new bathroom! Surrounding walls WERE brown, rust in color from years of hard water stains. NOW the walls are super white, bright and look amazing. The work was done in a day like they told me. Dustin was cleaning up as he was working throughout the day. I REALLY can't believe that old bathroom looks brand new, I LOVE IT!"
"The ladies who came were very nice and professional and did a good thorough job! I only gave the B(Instead of an A)because there is always room for improvement in every job done, I would def hire them again!"
"Chris does fantastic work. This was our third major project that Chris completed for us in the last 2 years. He gutted our dated hallway bathroom in 2019, did a complete renovation of our kitchen in 2020 and just this month rebuilt our back deck. Chris and his crew are the real deal. He is fast and meticulous and once he’s on the job he’s 100% focused on getting things done right, on time and on budget. He offers great design suggestions and works within our budget. He’s also economical and will reuse materials where he can to save a few bucks. The best part? He’s very reasonably priced. When he quoted our bathroom, he was 50%(!!) less expensive than the other contractors."
"From start to finish we have had a great experience with Rodenhiser. Rick Picard came out to look at our system and provided a few estimates for different options while on site. We needed most of our 35 year old central air conditioning system replaced. The communication from the company was impressive. We always knew who was coming and when. They helped with the initial MassSave paperwork and even submitted all of the rebate paperwork for us when the install was complete. Good luck finding another company that will do the same. Our installers (Brian Heno and Dylan E.) arrived on time every day. They were professional, kept us updated on their progress and cleaned up daily. Two very hard working guys. They did a great job with the install. It looks and performs fantastic. We could not be happier with the system now that it is installed. We chose the correct company to work with. This is our second time having Rodenhiser complete a major install at our house. We had them install a furnace several years ago. I highly recommend them for your HVAC needs. Thank you."
"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."
"We had an excellent experience with the whole team at PIC. Wonderful job on our shower and windows replacement. The communication with everyone was great and the installation was professional."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.
Technically, yes, you can put a shower on a Roman tub, but it's not common. The vast majority of Roman tubs are standalone models. Adding a shower would involve installing a ceiling-mounted curtain rod or a custom glass enclosure, as well as redoing the plumbing, making it neither easy nor budget-friendly.
Yes. Common materials for Roman tubs are acrylic, fiberglass, cast iron, and stone resin. The choice you make can depend on various factors, including weight, cost, durability, style, heat retention, and aesthetics. Ultimately, it really depends on your space to determine the best option.
Resurfacing a bathtub is less expensive than replacing one. Resurfacing a tub costs about $330 to $630, depending on the material, while replacing a tub costs an average of $4,150. But remember that resurfacing is a temporary solution for a worn-out tub, and you may need to refinish a tub every few years to keep it looking new.
The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you’re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now. Additionally, if your tub has only minor damage, refinishing it will make it look new again without the extra demolition and time.
