They called me back same day, and mailed out samples of the potential reglaze options the same week. Once I had decided on my color choice, they scheduled an appointment, with an appointment window of 1 and a half hours. They were timely, though they did arrive towards the end of the appointment window (i.e. appointment window was 9-10:30, they arrived at 10:15). The serviceman was very nice, polite and did a good job on the bathtub reglazing. The whole process took about 3 hours. As I anticipated, replacing the drain and overflow valve are the responsibility of the homeowner, as these cannot be replaced until the bathtub has cured. Only minor complaint, was the serviceman did not remove his shoes, and therefore tracked a bit of dust and dirt around the house. They also did not do a full clean up after (i.e. dust from the bathtub preparation needed to be cleaned up in the bathroom and also in the hallway outside the bathroom). Overall though, it was a good experience, and the pricing was very fair. Even with my flaking bathtub, where I thought I would be charged for the prior glaze removal of $75, I was only charged for the bathtub reglaze and re-caulk. Pricing was consistent with the price specifications provided to me with the sample packet. I would use this company in the future.

Our hot water heater was leaking and needed to be replaced. Mike answered my call right away and said he would come by that afternoon. He stopped by and confirmed we needed a replacement. Amazingly, he was able to fit us in the next day. The team was quick and considerate. The price was fair...

It went great! Other plumbers wanted to replace the pipe from the tub all the way to the stack, and insisted that it wasn't up to code. This seemed ridiculous since our bathroom had been professionally remodeled barely 9 years ago. Universal came out and worked on the drain with a snake and...

We started finding little leaks in the lines and Direct Plumbing came out, gave us a couple of options. We decided to go for the whole pipe replacement rather than the "band-aid" fix as the leaks appeared. They worked fast, efficient and were very friendly and professional and the price was...

The plumber that came to do the work was very professional and did a great job. He explained the cost breakdown for the various work being performed and explained issues that I could easily fix myself like replacing a calcium clogged shower head.

At the first visit, they cannot find an available tube to replace it.. They ordered it and took about a couple of weeks to come back with my request on the status. The price seems very high to fix these 2 small items.

Our motto is "Your Remodeler for Life", as we strive to develop a 20+ year relationship with our clients. We treat our clients' homes as we would our own. Dave Kopke founded the business in 1993 after noticing undesirable trends in the industry. He wanted to do home improvement the right way, always keeping customer satisfaction his #1 priority. After word got around, our growth has remained consistent, with about 40% of business each year coming from past customers. In 2013, we moved to a much larger facility to accommodate our increasing needs while expanding our radius of travel. Much of our staff are lifelong employees, and many of our clients no longer feel the need to "get 3 bids". We are seldom the lowest bid, but as we like to say, we are "where quality and affordability come together". Once you experience Kopke, you will never look at remodeling the same.

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Whether converting a tub to a shower is worth it depends on your circumstances. If you never use the tub and a shower would be more practical for your lifestyle and household, it's probably a worthwhile conversion. On the other hand, many parents find it easier to bathe kids in a tub, so if you have little ones at home, you might want to keep the tub around until they're older. Additionally, if you convert the only tub in the house to a shower, it can lower your home's value in the eyes of potential buyers.
While Medicare will pay for some bathroom modifications, it won’t pay for all modifications done to help make the room more accessible for older adults. Plus, the improvements must be approved in advance, or they won’t cover the upgrade. Check well in advance of construction if you have coverage for grab bars, walk-in tubs, wider doorways, higher toilets, and more.
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.
Completing a full standard bathroom remodel offers the best value, providing an average 70% return on investment. However, some of the best bathroom upgrades don’t involve a full rip-out and remodel. If you want to save money while still making a splash, you can increase resale value by upgrading to a walk-in shower, resurfacing a tub, retiling, or adding or upgrading cabinets and vanity units.
You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub—or any potential refinishing—is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.
