"Great care was taken at every step of the removal, prep, install. Looks great and I have the confidence that it is perfect and I don't have to worry about anything. The guys were very pleasant and professional. I also love that the tub and shower are anti-microbial and very easy to clean. I know that this will also help my resale value. I invite people over to see my new tub!"
"Awesome from beginning to end Mr Chris explained everything about my problem and also gave me options so I was able to work with my budget that was a good thing I will use them again in a heartbeat"
"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"Joseph Donabella was the handyman that came and fixed my front door. I have not been able to use my deadbolt for years. Joe took the door off and refit it properly so I can now use my deadbolt again. My door knob lock was also sticking. After he checked it he said I needed to replace the door knob due to its age and suggested I go to a hardware store so I can get the new knob and get it rekeyed to my current key. He was very pleasant and professional. I would work with him again."
"Everything was fantastic. They were professional, showed up when they said they were going to and completed in a timely manner. The work was superb. I have nothing but good things to say. I've referred them to a couple other people as well."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
Yes, most bathrooms can be converted into a wet room, but the process often involves extensive renovations. Key requirements include having proper plumbing and the ability to slope the floor slightly for drainage. The conversion process typically requires removing the existing floors to install drainage, replacing drywall with waterproofed cement backer board, waterproofing the walls, and installing new fixtures to create an open, curbless shower space. A skilled home renovation professional can evaluate your bathroom to determine if it's a suitable candidate. It's also worth considering resale value; if you only have one bathroom, converting it to a wet room might not be ideal as many homebuyers prefer to have at least one bathtub.
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.
Doorless showers feature strategically placed showerheads, drains, and sloped floors to contain water. The sloped floor allows water to seamlessly flow toward the drain and prevents pooling. Proper design and waterproofing ensure that water is directed into the drain, minimizing the risk of it spreading out into the rest of the bathroom.
Most professional bathroom remodeling contractors take two to four hours to replace a shower door. The total time varies by the project's complexity and whether removal and disposal of a previous shower or tub are included in the project scope. Replacement also takes longer if you replace your shower door as a DIY project.
Install shower grab bars around the waist level or wherever it’s most comfortable to grab inside the shower. If multiple people will be using the grab bar, install it in a location that works best for everyone. You’ll also want to install a vertical grab bar close to your shower’s entrance to help you get in and out.
