"Michael, Tommy & Aiden did a fantastic job removing our separate shower and bathtub and converting the tub space into a walk in shower. The guys were respectful, and helpful with any questions we had. They kept us informed with each step of the way. They cleaned up before the job was over and went over instructions. Highly recommend Jaccuzizi and this crew."

The shower is beautiful, bathtub luxurious, and tile work is absolutely stunning. They obviously take a lot of pride in their work. We are so glad we found them to do our bathroom remodel."
"Outstanding job. Quick and efficient. Came to give me an estimate the next day and two days later, my walk-in shower was installed. I had to replace a tub/shower combination due to cracks on the flooring and leaking water and I chose to replace it with a walk in shower. It is really nice and I love it."

"MH Contracting is my number one choice for any type of plumbing work. First, their Veteran owned and that means a lot! Equally important is that they perform the highest quality work. They're, organized, responsive, respectful, professional, courteous, get the work completed the first time and they clean up after themselves. They truly take care of the customer. I first met them through a general contractor who signed on to do a large remodel project for me that included the complete rearranging of all second floor plumbing. They were impressive during the remodel and because of that, I've used them for all my plumbing work ever since! They're fantastic and won't disappoint!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Options include alcove, freestanding, clawfoot, or whirlpool tubs for various preferences.
Persistent leaks, outdated styles, or surface damage are indicators for a replacement.
Completing a full standard bathroom remodel offers the best value, with an average return on investment (ROI) of 70%. However, you don't need a full remodel to make an impact. To maximize value, focus on key components like flooring, the tub and shower, vanity, and cabinets. High-value upgrades include installing a walk-in shower, resurfacing a tub, retiling, or expanding the shower. For more budget-friendly options that still increase value, consider repainting with a light, neutral color, or updating the mirror and light fixtures. It's also crucial to address any necessary repairs, such as leaks, mold, or cracked tiles, as buyers will notice these issues. Avoid flashy upgrades like bathtub jets or steam showers, which don't add as much value.
What you include in your bathroom remodel will depend on your budget, personal preferences, and the current condition of your bathroom. Bathroom renovations often involve changing out the shower or tub, faucet, showerhead, tiles, flooring, mirrors, sink, cabinets, and vanities. You may also want to upgrade the wallcovering, adding new wallpaper or paint.

It’s a sign that the finish is coming off, and continued exposure to water and cleaning products can continue to damage the finish and eventually the underlying structure of the tub.
