"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!"
"Joe and his team are awesome! I was interested in turning my larger laundry room into a full bath and my half bath into the laundry room. Joe was very easy to work with, responsive and supportive of my design. I asked for his advice on a lot of details along the way and everything he recommended turned out great with his years of experience. His team worked quickly but with the best quality, the overall turnaround time from first meeting him to complete was about two months. If I was not happy with something, Joe made sure things were fixed. I also asked for an accent wall and floating custom shelves which were not simple and they did an amazing job. I plan to continue to use Joe for other projects and highly recommend him for all renovation work. I truly am so happy with how the work turned out and I have my dream bathroom!"
"I can't say enough about John, Gary, and the team at Busy Bee Construction. They took on a big project transforming my horror of an overly-large primary bathroom into a beautiful, new bathroom plus an additional study. They were clear, communicative, and knowledgeable, and they did exceptional work at a very fair price. I would absolutely work with them again (and definitely will!). These guys are the real deal."
"We needed to renovate the third floor of our house, which was originally one open high-ceiling space used as a den, family room, and home office. Our goal was to maintain the open space concept while creating two separate offices, a small library room, a family room, and a bedroom. While it might sound challenging, thanks to D&S Partners Construction Inc., it turned out even better than expected. The tasks involved installing a hardwood floor, adding a wall with a door and closet for the bedroom with high-raised bookshelves facing the family room, creating two office spaces in two of the three dormers, and converting the third dormer into a library with a French door. To maintain an open feeling, we used glass (from Boston Glass) to separate the offices from the main room, providing excellent sound isolation. Between the family room and the bedroom, we had a retractable wall installed, which was manufactured and delivered by Tudelu, allowing the two rooms to function as one open space or be separated and sound-isolated when the bedroom is in use. The retractable wall was running between the newly installed wall with closets and bookshelves and a big arch window we wanted to preserve. Only two windows had to be replaced with slightly narrower ones to accommodate the flame for the Tudelu wall. My wife and I came up with the whole concept, but DS provided excellent advice at every step of the project, and several adjustments were made. Additionally, there was significant electrical work, AC tube replacement, and painting throughout the entire floor. We had an amazing experience with Sanfer, his son Matt, and the entire crew, that yielded fabulous results. They were incredibly professional throughout the project. Sanfer responded right away after listing our needs, explaining all the steps and costs upfront, with no hidden surprises. The work began promptly, within a week of signing the contract, and was completed exactly as expected. The main work took two months with no delays. As anticipated, the glass walls and doors were installed a month later, followed by the retractable wall from Tudelu two months after that. We couldn't use the floor only for two months. The glass and the retractable wall installations which were completed later on upon their delivery didn’t disrupt our work at all. This was perfectly well organized and managed by D&S. We were impressed by the friendly, understanding, and highly professional nature of the team. Their work ethic was exceptional, and their quality was outstanding, demonstrating a commitment to perfectionism. Sanfer ensured that every detail was perfect, no matter how small. They are unbelievably clean and organized. We selected him from several contractors we met with, and he stood out for his deep understanding of our needs and immediate professional advice. We expected a great job, but his work exceeded our wildest expectations. I don’t look for any other contractor anymore when it comes to home renovation. We have something in mind for the first floor/basement, so if we decide to do it, it will be his project for sure. I cannot imagine anything better than D&S."
"We wanted to change our tub to a walk in shower. Nick from Bath Flip was our salesman. He was very knowledgeable in the product. He answered all our questions. He had very honest and excited in the product. We are excited to see our new shower."
"Brian came to our home to do a tub to shower installation. He was very respectful and reviewed what he would be doing. The project was completed within the time frame we were told. Again, he reviewed what he had done and how to properly care for the shower. It really looks great and we are looking forward to using it. Thank you Brian and rite window team.

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
You should replace your showerhead if you notice issues such as low water pressure, leaks, rust, mineral deposits, sediment buildup, or black mold. These signs can indicate internal problems that might lead to health issues if ignored. If you find black mold, it's wise to inspect the rest of your bathroom for other potential sources. Additionally, significant sediment buildup may suggest the need for a water softener, while persistent low water pressure could point to an issue with your water heater.
Even without these problems, replacing an old fixture is an easy and affordable way to upgrade your shower. A new showerhead can offer several benefits, including improved water pressure, better water efficiency, and an enhanced aesthetic that complements your bathroom's style. Modern showerheads also frequently come with extra features like multiple spray settings or a detachable head to improve your showering experience.
Depending on the layout of your bathroom, you may be able to replace a shower valve without removing the tile. The existing hole needs to be large enough to remove your old valve and fit your new valve. If the hole is too small, you’ll need to cut into the wall and remove some of the tile.
Per the International Code Council, walk-in shower floors should have a minimum slope of 1/4-inch per foot (or a 2% slope) towards the drain. The slope should be no steeper than 1/2-inch per foot (or a 4% slope). This helps safely direct water into the drain rather than all over your bathroom.
Professionals ensure proper sealing and connections, preventing long-term water damage.
A frameless shower door installation can increase your home’s resale value because of its modern aesthetics and luxurious look. Not only do frameless shower doors provide more space in the bathroom and enhanced utility and functionality, but this upgrade can promote a luxurious user experience. If you’re looking to sell your home in the near future, this could be a good upgrade for the bathroom.
