"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."
"J and his partner did an excellent job of removing and rebuilding my shower with handicap bars and a seat. I would highly recommend this company as they have the best price and I feel a great Shower I now have."
"Shawn and his crew did an excellent job and even made suggestions based on his vast experience that made the project run smooth, on time and inline with my budget. I do not hesitate to reccomend CoCara to anyone needing a reputable and reliable contractor."
"Can t possibly say enough good things about this company! Dependable, cleaned as they went, showed up exactly when they said, finished the job in less time than we expected! Typically contract workers show up looking like bums that you are afraid of letting in your home... not these guys. Clean cut and personable. Answered questions freely without making us feel like we were intruding. This company installed a closet in our bedroom that when finished appeared to have been built when house was built! No simple task since we have extremely decorative crown molding with rope lights that they had to duplicate. I could go on forever but will just finish with.... great company to work with. From the owner to the guys who work for him. Great experience. Will be hiring again soon for another project! Thanks a million Mike, Cameron and Scott!"
"He's very courteous, dependable and on time. He used quality materials and his workers were great, I was very impressed. The clean up was great and I didn't have any complaints about him. I would refer him to my family and close friends. He did a beautiful job, even better than the builders who did our house!"
"I recently had the pleasure of working with The Shower Company for a shower installation, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. Not only did they complete the shower replacement efficiently and professionally, but they also went above and beyond when our sump pump failed unexpectedly. In an emergency situation, their team responded quickly, assessing the issue with our sump pump and installing a new one that very same day. It was such a relief to have such a dependable company handle both issues seamlessly. The technicians were knowledgeable, courteous, and truly cared about resolving the problem quickly, even during an urgent situation. From the initial consultation to the emergency repair, The Shower Company exceeded expectations. If you're looking for reliable, professional service, I highly recommend them! They have earned my trust and future business."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
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.
