"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 !!!! Great Job.... "

Concrete Resurfacing questions, answered by experts
When hiring a concrete contractor, you should seek someone with proven experience, proper licensing, and insurance. You should also check reviews online, talk to references, and view past project photos. Remember that reliable contractors communicate openly and have an expert understanding of local building codes. You’ll also want to ensure that the contractor specializes in the specific type of concrete work you want, whether a driveway or tinted concrete flooring.
For thin driveway cracks that aren’t widening or lengthening, a polyurethane crack filler is usually the best way to seal the crack and prevent further damage from water and ice. If you have cracks that are more than â…›-inch wide or driveway cracks that continue to grow, you should call in a professional driveway repair company to fix underlying problems—like insufficient support from the soil underneath—before filling in the cracks. An epoxy sealant is a better option for wider cracks after the surface is leveled and the underlying problem is fixed.
Regular sealing and cleaning to maintain appearance and functionality.
Yes, adding a patio or other concrete feature can increase your property taxes, particularly if it's considered a permanent improvement. The general rule is that if the project requires a permit, your property taxes will likely go up.
Permanent structures like a poured concrete patio are considered capital improvements that require a permit, which will trigger a reassessment of your property's value. Other concrete projects that typically increase taxes include:
Pool decks
Walkways
Driveways
Steps
Foundations
In contrast, 'temporary' installations, such as a paver or flagstone patio, may not require a permit and are less likely to affect your property taxes.
Permit costs for a concrete patio can range from $75 to $200. While the tax increase varies based on your location and the project's size, it is often a minimal amount. Always contact your local building department before starting a project to confirm permit requirements and any potential impact on your taxes.
Concrete shrinkage cracks are very common and should be expected. Even professionals end up with shrinkage cracks on newly poured concrete slabs. Remember that these cracks are not harmful to the slab's strength, though some homeowners do prefer to fill in the cracks for aesthetics. When installing concrete, you can avoid ample concrete shrinkage cracks by avoiding hot, sunny, or windy days.
