"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."
"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!"
"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."
"Excellent. I can't complain about anything. Dan did the majority of the work on this project and he was always there before the scheduled time. His attention to detail throughout the renovation was to be commended. He made suggestions about some things I wasn't even aware were possible to do making the renovation even better than expected. John provided him with the information to do the job and supplied the materials when they were needed and coordinated the project. It was uneventful and was completed well within the estimated time frame and I'm completely satisfied with the result. I have already scheduled another bathroom renovation with Busy-Bee."
"I highly recommend Sanfer Rocha and D.S. Partners Construction for a bathroom remodel. Sanfer was professional, transparent with costs, and responsive to questions during the whole renovation process. His workers were skilled, prompt, and friendly. Sanfer also suggested vendors and provided helpful tips. I am very happy with our beautiful bathroom and would hire him again for another renovation."
"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
Roll-in showers, on average, take two to four days to install. If you need to demolish your existing shower, install new plumbing, or do other bathroom renovations, your project could take several months to complete. Consult with a remodel designer to get a better idea of how long your shower installation could take, as every project is different.
Whether converting a tub to a shower is worth it depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. For many, a shower is a safer option that reduces the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, making it a valuable upgrade. It can also be a worthwhile conversion if a shower is more practical for your lifestyle and you rarely use the tub. However, there are potential downsides to consider. The cost, which can range from $1,200 to $8,000, can be a deterrent. Additionally, if you have young children, a bathtub is often easier for bathing them. Finally, removing the only bathtub in a home can potentially lower its resale value in the eyes of some buyers.

This type of bathroom commonly contains a toilet and a sink and is smaller than a standard bathroom that includes a bathtub or shower.

Most professional bathroom remodeling contractors take two to four hours to replace a shower door. The total time varies by the project's complexity and whether removal and disposal of a previous shower or tub are included in the project scope.
