"This is the second project we had Nick do in our house in 10 months. This time we remodel the main bathroom and the kitchen. For kitchen, new granite countertops were installed over the original cabinets as well as new custom backsplash. Both came out great! I must note since Nick custom cut out the space for the cooktop on-site, there are no annoying seams around the cooktop that I have seen in many other homes. Attention to details is definitely Nick's strength. For bathroom, we replace all the plumbing, countertop, vanity mirrors, lights, hardware, and toilet. New wall and floor tiles were also installed. Just like the last project, Nick and his team did an expert job in remodeling the bathroom and we couldn't be happier with the results. Frameless glass door was also installed over the tub that display the wonderful tiles. Nick's price is extremely competitive and his service is the best in the area. He let you use his contractor's discount with the local suppliers where you purchase the materials directly without any markup (and get exactly what you want). Quality of the tile works is truly superb that we are really impressed. His crew cleanup the work area at the end of each day during the project and keep everything neat and clean. We are very happy with the results and would highly recommend Nick for any kitchen and bathroom remodeling projects."
"We had our bathroom remodeled in January. It needed to be gutted down to the studs, so not a small job. 90 year old house with the typical, small bathroom. Parts of the floor were rotted, questionable electric, broken vent fan and needed everything updated. Some contractors didn't want to be bothered with it. Charles took on the job and was able to work through all of the challenges that you run into in an older home. For instance, 2 walls had 2 layers of drywall. 1 layer was holding in the blown in insulation so he recommended leaving it which we did. Rather than rip the whole floor out, which I thought might be needed, he was able to remove the rotted parts, replace them and go over the whole floor with an additional layer. There is no more bounce to the floor, it's much warmer and everything is solid. We went from an oversized bathtub/shower to a walk in shower which I LOVE! So much easier to clean! Due to the small size of the bathroom, I wanted to install a pocket door instead of a standard inswing door. A couple of contractors wouldn't even quote it for us. Charles was able to frame it in and install it and it is fantastic. No more lost space in a small bathroom just because of the door opening. Everytime something odd was encountered, Charles took the time to go over it with us and gave us multiple options for how to address it. He gave us his opinion but the final decision was ours. I greatly appreciated the advice as his experience has taught him the best ways to address some of the common challenges seen with older properties. The entire job from gut to finish took about 2 weeks. The remodeled bathroom is just as awesome as I had hoped it would be. We are extremely happy and would highly recommend Charles. Once a couple of other projects get done, I plan to call him back for another job and I look forward to working with him again. He is very professional, friendly and easy to work with."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
The reasons not to install flooring underneath a bathtub outweigh the benefits. A properly installed bathtub will keep water from reaching the unprotected subfloor underneath. Installing a tub on top of finished flooring can lead to damage and scratches to the new floor. Also, a small leak from a tub drain may be more difficult to notice if finished flooring impedes water drips.
If you love long soaks, appreciate spa-style decor, and don't mind the extra space, a Roman tub is a beautiful addition to your bathroom.
The water supply lines run underneath the bathtub. These two pipes deliver cold and hot water to the bathtub—the cold water comes from the main water supply, and the hot water comes from the water heater. The pipes are made from copper, cream-colored plastic CPVC, or red and blue PEX tubing.
A good soaking tub will allow you to completely submerge yourself in the water, so it needs to be at least 20 inches deep. Luxury soaking tubs are 24 inches deep so that you can easily have enough space to be submerged in the water once the tub is full.
You can resurface or reglaze your bathtub, and it’s faster and less expensive than replacing a bathtub. Plus, replacing a bathtub is an extensive and intrusive process that requires wall repairs. Refinishing is an excellent option if the old one is in good working condition.
There are also options to install a bathtub liner over your existing tub. However, if you’re seeking a new bathtub with new features, you’ll likely want to replace your tub.
