"Flavio and his team did outstanding work removing and installing tile for both my front entryway floor and living room fireplace surround. Flavio is professional and meticulous in his work. Would not hesitate to hire again in the future."
"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!"
"Gisele and her team do an amazing job cleaning! We had them do a deep cleaning and now they come every other week. Truly our house has never been this clean. We first met Gisele and Almir when they did a proposal for replacing our back deck a couple of years ago--they were great to work with, they had the best price, and Almir and his crew did a wonderful job. Communication with Gisele is really easy and she is very responsive."
"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."
"One of my exterior doors could not be opened at all, and the other one was dragging on the door sill and was very difficult to close. I had been told by someone that I had described the problems to over the phone that the doors might need to be replaced. This is a small job and one for which it can be very difficult to find a competent handyman. Chris fixed the door that could not be opened within the first five minutes of his visit. For the dragging door, Chris started with the simplest approach to the fix, and then proceeded to add more involved approaches as needed. He charged me a very reasonable fee, and told me I could call him again in the future for similar work and larger repairs. Thank you, Chris!"
If your tub is attached to the wall, the best material will be one that can be shaped to fit your space perfectly. A cast-polymer, acrylic, or fiberglass tub will likely be the easiest to install as a built-in because it can be designed to fit your space.
While they’re heavier than their counterparts, cast-iron tubs are very simple to maintain. They have no seams and are durable, making them the easiest tub to maintain. While fiberglass and acrylic tubs are also relatively simple to maintain, they often have seams, making maintenance a little more difficult.
Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
A professional bathtub installation or replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the project's complexity and any necessary alterations. If you hire a professional, most replacements can be completed in one to three days. However, if you choose the DIY route, the process could take up to a month, as it involves removing the old tub and drywall, installing the new tub, repairing the drywall, and installing new tiling.
Adding a soaking tub can increase your return on investment (ROI) for a bathroom remodel, with many people recouping a 60% ROI when adding a soaking tub. To get the best value from installing a soaking tub, make sure that your floor plan allows the tub to act as a focal point in your bathroom, adding aesthetic value as well as being practical.
