"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."

"One way construction (Gabe and Micheal) were very professional. They cleaned up after themselves and did an amazing job. They completed the shower in one day. I would recommend them to anyone. They were trustworthy because I left them the key and they locked up my house since I had to be at work while they were at my house and they treated my house like it was their own. I will be calling them for anything else i need done. Thank you Gabe and Michael Sincerely, Dominguez Family"

"They built a 360 sq.ft. sunroom addition to our house. They also did some landscaping, including a beautiful paver patio. (I don't think they generally do landscaping, but we were having a very difficult time getting our landscaper to show up for a retaining wall project, so David Hunter offered to step in, and he not only got the landscaper to finish, but also did other landscaping we wanted--demonstrating dedication to customer satisfaction). Everything turned out exactly as we ordered, yet somehow it all seems even nicer than we originally imagined. They always showed up as scheduled, and David always answered or promptly returned phone calls and text messages. They also gladly accomodated several requests for additional features as the projects progressed and kept us updated. This is a "get it done and done right" company. Big thank you to the entire crew. Don W."

"They got the job done right and clean. The price was way more than what it should?ve cost. Cost me an arm and a leg. They stay on you like leeches, you?ll have multiple sales men coming to your house. Crazy operation."

"Contractor replaced a walk-in shower with one they picked out. Work was very professional, and they completed it in a reasonable time including the wallboard repair and floor tile replacement. Also rebuilt back step risers that were starting to rot out. They were good to work with."

Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts

Shower mixing valves are usually located behind the shower handles. Accessing the mixing valve is difficult for a DIYer, so it’s best to call a pro if you think this could be the issue. A plumbing repair expert has the right tools and knowledge to easily access the valve, diagnose the issue, and recommend repairs if needed.

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.

Most shower arms are ½-inch national pipe thread (NPT). It’s best to check the thread size before buying a new shower arm or showerhead to ensure everything will fit together once you’re ready to install. Remember that older homes or those outside North America may not have standard pipe or thread sizes, which can complicate installation and make it more important to check the thread size before buying.

When choosing between fiberglass and acrylic for a shower, your budget and preferences are key factors. Fiberglass is generally more affordable and lightweight, but it may be more prone to scratches, dullness, and cracking over time. Acrylic is more durable, flexible, and scratch-resistant, and it tends to retain its shine longer. While slightly more expensive, acrylic is available in a wider variety of shapes, sizes, colors, and finishes. It is also generally easier to repair if damaged. For shower bases specifically, acrylic is less likely to crack than fiberglass, but as long as either type is installed and supported correctly, it should not chip or crack prematurely.

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.
