"My tub to shower conversion experience with WestShore was excellent. From my initial meeting with Rep Ben Beal through installation with Dennis B and Gavin W, all went according to plan. Installation team was neat and thorough. They kept me informed throughout the conversion and answered all my questions. I would definitely recommend this company."
"Lisa and Joey , husband and wife owners, showed up with a tape measure, request to see the site, and questions about what we wanted for our two bathrooms remodel. They provided a detailed affordable price list that allowed us to pick our own product. Upfront about a timeline (approximately a week )they always left us with a working shower and toilet. Stayed in constant communication!!! Three man seasoned crew was conscientious, attentive to detail and adept at plumbing, carpentry, drywall, installation,etc and left place spotless! Can’t say enough about quality of work! We are scheduling a kitchen makeover with Dixie Home Improvement the first of the year."
"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!"
"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."
"At the end of the kitchen remodel Walt did to our complete satisfaction, Walt and the countertop guy worked to figure out if we could use the unused quartz for two new vanities. They worked it out and we are very happy with the results. Walt and his workers are very conscientious and extremely clean - almost no dust after all the demolition for both the bathroom and kitchen. Highly recommended!"
"We contacted Evan to get lvp flooring installed in one of our bedrooms and we’re so glad we did! He was very helpful with our flooring selection to ensure it was the best option for the space. And he worked hard to make sure it was done right and it turned out beautifully! Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a hard working, professional who takes pride in his work."
"Carolina Contracting and Investments did an OUTSTANDING job on our master bathroom and kitchen remodel. We took everything down to the studs in both rooms and they brought my vision to life. Their team was fantastic and I would hire them again in moment for any other project we might do."
"Sergii was very professional, flexible, communicated well, and was able to pull off my vision for a black marble fireplace without cracking a single piece of tile. He was also able to see and fix problems from previous renovated areas of the project so that installation would be safe and last. He was very upfront about cost and let me know about the price of materials before starting his work. And he kept his work area very CLEAN!! I was overall very impressed with his expertise, Iâ d recommend him to anyone."

A stall is a basic shower that's smaller than a walk-in shower. A stall usually only has room for one person to stand and turn around. Walk-in showers are often large enough to walk around in or fit more than one person. And thanks to their large size, walk-in showers often don't require a curtain or door to block stray water.
You can install a shower pan liner over plywood using the steps outlined above. However, before pouring the mortar pre-slope or installing a premanufactured slope product, check the condition of the plywood. The subfloor should be stable, level, and free of rot or other damage. You’ll need to repair damaged sections before pouring the mortar.
A shower pan's lifespan can range from 10 to 45 years, depending on the material. As a preventative measure, it's recommended to replace your shower pan every 10 to 15 years to avoid degradation, water leaks, and mold problems. A pan's lifespan can be shortened by incorrect installation, but proper cleaning can help extend it. You should replace your shower pan immediately if you notice clear signs of failure, such as visible cracks, water spilling onto the bathroom floor, moisture stains on adjacent walls or the ceiling below, or any movement, buckling, or warping in the pan when you step on it.
There are three main types of shower valves: pressure-balancing, thermostatic, and diverter. Pressure-balancing and thermostatic valves are both considered mixing valves because they regulate water flow and temperature, but they do so in different ways. A pressure-balancing valve senses changes in water pressure, such as from a flushing toilet, and adjusts the incoming hot and cold water to maintain a consistent temperature; these typically use a single knob. A thermostatic valve uses a thermostat to precisely control the water temperature and requires a separate control to adjust the water volume. A diverter valve directs the flow of water from one fixture to another, such as switching from a tub faucet to a showerhead in a tub-shower combination.
Behind a shower enclosure, waterproof materials like cement board and a waterproof membrane cover over the wall studs. Plumbing fixtures like shower valves and pipes could also be within the wall cavity. Electrical wiring for lighting or ventilation may also be present. Proper installation of these components ensures structural integrity and functionality while preventing water leakage and maintaining a safe and efficient showering environment.
