"The project manager, Bob, was very helpful and responsive throughout the process. The office manager seemed a bit scattered but everyone else was very professional.. When our grab bar was inadvertently omitted, the ordered one and came to install it at our earliest convenience. They also replaced a transition piece that had not been cut properly. The finished shower is great."
"Emmanuel is a 'top-notch' professional. He kept his appointments by showing up on time when he did the estimate and when we hired this company to complete the job. Emmanuel replaced 4 tiles in our kitchen as there was very bad damage. The job he did was absolutely wonderful! My husband and I agree that we would hire him again!!"
"I had originally called another company when my AC started blowing warm air. They came out and checked the unit. They found that the coolant and Circuitry were fine. They next checked the blower. Afterwards, the tech told me what he thought the problem was, but it would cost $1400 to find out. Then I called Blanton. Eddie came out and checked the coolant and circuitry, which were fine. He then checked the blower. After he took the panel off it took him about 3 seconds to find the problem. A switch had shorted causing the heat coils to come on. Essentially, the unit was trying to heat and cool at the same time. He replaced the switch, cleaned the blower fan, the coils, and serviced/cleaned the outside units all for less than what the other tech thought the problem was. I will Continue to use them in the future."
We received three quotes from three companies and in the end we were getting more for our money with Triangle Classic Homes and they was using qualified resources...including an architect, surveyor and other companies that he has been doing business with for decades. All the people that came to my home were respectful of our property and knowledgeable of their trade.
Initially, both Ralph and Carl from Triangle Classic Homes came to our house and discussed our vision. We had an initial consultation and we were given rough estimates just so we could determine the scope of our project within our budget.
When we were ready we worked with Carl's team, starting with the architect to get the project and budget to the right place.
When we got started we immediately ran into county set back issues...but Carl made multiple visited to the county office and came up with several suggestions and from there we were able to make decisions and alter our project and start construction.
From that point it was smooth sailing. We had part of our existing driveway removed because we requested it be replaced as part of the project. Construction started. I was told daily what was going to happen each day, when to expect people coming to the house and who was coming...if anything changed I was also notified. There was a great deal of planning to consider the daily weather too. Carl visited at least once a day if not multiple times a day when we had workers on site. Our HOA is very clear that the job site must be clean and ours was clean and scrap material was carried away as each stage of construction was completed.
This was a big project...we minimized changes after the initial plan. However, there were a few minor changes made and we were sure to communicate and Triangle Classic was very clear on the impact on the project.
Both the shingles and the brick on our existing house were not in production so Carl worked with multiple suppliers and we were able to find very similar options.
We were most impressed that Carl did what he said he was going to do. He was always on time and the project was on budget. We communicated daily and if we had any questions we contacted Carl by phone and he was always willing to educate us...he was always available...and we continually communicated to insure we all were on the same page, Carl knew from day one what was most important to us and he met those requests.
We have recommended Triangle Classic to all our friends, family and neighbors who were very impressed with the entire project...we will continue to recommend Triangle Classic and we consider them our contractor. He is my first contact for any future projects.
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.
Installing a drop-in tub yourself is possible, especially if you’re replacing your existing tub with a new one of the same size. If you’re replacing a different type of tub, you’ll need to build the structure to hold the new drop-in tub and finish the exposed sides. The structure must be sturdy enough to hold the tub when it’s filled with water, and you’ll need to seal it. If any plumbing work is required, it’s best to call a licensed plumber who installs bathtubs.
We don’t recommend using a tub liner to cover up cracks in a bathtub. Instead, you should repair the cracks yourself if you have the experience or hire a pro. Cracks may seem like small surface imperfections, but they can lead to much larger issues, so repair them as soon as you can.
A professional bathtub installation or replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the project's complexity and any necessary alterations. If you hire a professional, most replacements can be completed in one to three days. However, if you choose the DIY route, the process could take up to a month, as it involves removing the old tub and drywall, installing the new tub, repairing the drywall, and installing new tiling.
Whether replacing a bathtub with a shower affects your home's value depends on several factors, with the most significant being whether it's the only tub in the house. Removing the sole bathtub can lower a home's value because many prospective buyers, particularly families with young children or pets, require at least one.
However, a tub-to-shower conversion can also increase home value. A modern walk-in shower is often seen as an upgrade in a secondary bathroom and can be a desirable feature for its accessibility and style, appealing to older homebuyers or those without children. The overall impact is also influenced by your local real estate market and its typical buyer demographic.
If your bathroom layout allows, installing both a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower can be an ideal solution that appeals to the widest range of potential buyers.
