"We had 2 shower remodels in one day. Marvin & Tony did our tub to shower conversion and Fabio & Joel did our other shower remodel. All four installers were courteous, professional, knowledgeable, and did an awesome job! We're loving our new showers!"
"Luis and his team did an excellent job. We have a house built in 1966 with plaster walls and cast iron tub and they had a bear of a time on the demo. They made sure everything was covered and did an excellent job of cleaning when the shower stall was completed. Could not be happier with the stand up shower and their install. Highly recommend!!!"
"Signature Contracting did a great job on the work they did for us. They were on time every day and the work was done when they said it would. Their estimate was competitive with other estimates we received and what they quoted us at is what we paid. They also answered any questions we had and were willing to comeback and address a few small things after the work was done. Overall a great experience and we plan to use them again for future projects."
"We recently remodeled our bathroom with VKB Kitchen and Bath and are very happy with the results. Everything came out beautiful, especially the tile and shower. The team was helpful, easy to work with, and kept us updated throughout the project. We would definitely recommend VKB for a bathroom remodel!"
"They installed some windows and vinyl siding on my home. They were very professional, communicative, paid great attention to detail, and left the work site clean. Definitely worth the investment."
"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."
"Our salesman was helpful with getting the right pieces to fit our needs and our budget and then later when we decided to add another piece at the last minute; our installer was great to work with great to work with; and we love the finished result."
"LFC Services is one of the best companies I have ever worked with, and my new basement is beautiful. They are very professional and courteous and ensured that everything from electrical plugs, plumbing, carpet and flooring installation was done perfectly. I have recommended them to other homeowners and will definitely use their services again in the near future."
"We actually hired J Hoss for two jobs, and they did a great job with both! Both were tricky operations involving the plumbing of an old beach house, and they came up with effective ways of dealing with every issue. The hot water heater install involved moving an old hot water heater out of a crawlspace and putting a new one in in a closet, and the plumbing lines were a bit wacky due to the way the cottage had been added onto over time. But they solved the problems without tearing out any walls, which was great. The other job involved a DIY project installing a bathroom vanity that we got halfway through before realizing we were over our heads. They were game and jumped right in and worked with us to complete the job. We loved how they collaborated with us and were so cheerful about our amateur efforts! Definitely will hire again."
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.
The size of the pipe you use for your shower depends on the part of the shower you’re installing. Shower drainpipes have a 2-inch diameter, and the water supply lines (both hot and cold) have a ½-inch diameter. You may want to slightly increase the size of the vertical pipe if you have dual showerheads. Check the local building code prior to installation for guidance.
In short, it depends. When it comes to accessibility, a roll-in shower is easier to enter than a walk-in bathtub because it doesn’t have the extra step required to access the bathing area. On the downside, walk-in showers can be less safe for seniors who struggle with standing or balancing. Parents of young children may also prefer walk-in bathtubs for their ease of bathing children who don’t yet know how to clean themselves.
Depending on complexity, Installation can take one to three days to ensure all plumbing and tile work is completed correctly.
Indications include persistent leaks, mold growth, outdated style, or recurring plumbing issues.
