"I called SMRT mid-week, scheduled an appointment for weekend consultation, I wasn't sure if my cast iron tub could be converted into a walk in shower. SMRT made several suggestions in type of shower base, such as concrete/tile base with vinyl liner or cultured marble pan, or vinyl acrylic shower pan with 4" curb, I chose the vinyl acrylic pan, The shower valves needed to be replaced, I was presented with a book with different styles of valves I picked one that met my budget and was same style as some that cost much more. I was also presented with tile samples, and grout colors, all were good quality tile. Colors for paint was presented (many colors) After choosing materials and estimate presented, I entered into contract, and scheduled work to start the following week. Prior to any demo work, drop cloths were placed in the traffic areas, and the area where work was to be performed was draped with plastic for dust control. The tub and existing tile was removed as well as the wall sheathing, A new shower valve was installed and tested The shower pan was installed with a new drain Wall sheathing was installed (mold resistant/water resistant) Tile was installed and grouted Clean-up, and trash removal The professionalism and workmanship was the best I have ever experienced !!!!

Concrete Resurfacing questions, answered by experts
Yes, you can pour new concrete over an existing concrete patio. This process, known as resurfacing, is a common repair method used by professionals. For the best results, ensure the old concrete surface is clean and free from debris. The new layer of concrete should be at least three to four inches thick and include reinforcement materials, such as fiberglass fibers or wire mesh, to prevent cracking and spalling. With proper technique, a resurfaced patio can last for 15 to 20 years.
Typically a few days, including preparation and curing time.
If the cracks in your concrete patio are cosmetic, you can pour a concrete overlay over the patio to cover them up. However, you shouldn’t cover more severe cracks because the underlying damage will simply cause new cracks to appear in the overlay. Patio repair costs$750 to $2,500, depending on the type of repairs and the extent of the damage.
Small cracks should be filled with a flexible crack filler, like a rubberized asphalt-emulsion crack filler or a flexible masonry crack filler. Larger cracks need something a bit more solid to prevent further movement and to avoid having to use too much of the flexible filler. For concrete, you can use a concrete backer rod while asphalt can handle sand, gravel, or even dirt.
The best—and most popular—time of year to resurface a concrete driveway is the late spring. Concrete damage often peaks in the winter as the ground freezes and thaws. Waiting until late spring allows the ground to soften fully, so you don't run the risk of more damage from a sudden cold snap.
