"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!"
"I called Joe at SILMAC to gut and remodel my bathroom. I had used him and his company 15 years ago to remodel my entire apartment in Back Bay and he had done a fantastic job. Happy to say Joe and SILMAC have not lost a step. The bathroom came out beautifully. Joe listens carefully and gives you exactly what you want."
"Just wanted a little change, which some didn't want to waste their time to do. Not BusyBee! They arrived everyday on time, communicated easily, and were very professional. Reasonably priced! Would use again and am recommending to family and friends."
"A wanted bathroom with tub changed to a shower. The price was what I expected until the rebates they have cut thousands. Will contact them again for future renovations."
"The sales agent never when presenting his product, never showed me different prices of walk in tubs, but just quoted me their highest prices. Then when I asked about different price in the tub, he showed me a pic of 1 and told me to take a picture of it, never talked about the qualities or anything concerning it."
"Looking forward to having D&S back for our next project! Sanfer and the crew were conscientious, flexible and tidy. Took our bathroom down to studs for a total makeover. External patching and painting of the siding, to accommodate the resized window, is seamless. Converting the bathroom door to a pocket door really opened up the space in our small family bathroom. Ultimately decided to have Sanfer expertly update the remaining doors on the same floor - replaced all door panels and installed new hardware. Looks fantastic! No surprises regarding cost - good communication, transparent, great value."
"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. Respectfully Leslie Greeley Brewster Ma"
"We hired PIC for a tub to shower conversion and we are very happy with the company and installation. PIC was neat and offered great service. We highly recommend pic home pros!"
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.
Current trends include frameless glass, smart shower systems, and water-efficient fixtures.
In some cases, a broken shower is a maintenance emergency. For example, burst pipes, flooding, and significant leaks all qualify as plumbing emergencies and should be handled immediately. Other shower issues (like slow draining and low water pressure) aren’t as urgent, but it’s still a good idea to address them sooner rather than later.
Walk-in showers aren’t necessarily better. It depends on your circumstances. On the one hand, they’re more accessible—especially for people who use a wheelchair. They also take up less space than bathtubs and are ideal for small bathrooms. On the other hand, some families may need a bathtub to bathe young children and pets.
While a custom shower costs more and is trickier to install than a prefabricated type, tailoring the layout is particularly useful in small bathrooms with limited space and offers complete design freedom. You can build a shower bench for a family member with limited mobility or a shower niche (built-in, ingressed shelves) to hold clutter and act as a focal point.
