"Ed came to replace a defective piece of glass in a shower that they recently remodeled. I was concerned that the replacement installation might not look as good as the initial one but it came out perfect.
Ed did a great job."
"Gorgeous work!! Friendly and confident workers. We are SUPER happy with our new bathtub and shower wall. We loved our sales rep, and the installer was great too. They were both very understanding of our hectic home with three kiddos ?? we only had a shower stall in our main bathroom before the install, so we are really enjoying the deep soaker bathtub with kids! A lot less splashing on the floor. So thankful for all of the hard work put into this for us!!"
"George and his son were awesome to work with! They were quick, efficient, and able to get us in sooner than we expected. They were professional, clean, and very friendly. Our new bathtub looks great, and we’re so happy with how it turned out. We would highly recommend! Our family will definitely use them again in the future."
"Matt did an excellent job replacing my bathroom flooring, new toilet, and a new faucet on my sink. He was fast and very thorough and easy to work with. He listened to all my concerns and explained all the questions I had."
"Our bathtub was leaking and the floor was dipping. John the representative was wonderful to work with. In 2 weeks Matt the installer came out and removed our cast iron tub. He repaired the plumbing, put in a new subfloor and installed a walk in shower. He was a hard worker and answered any questions we had. Our bathroom looks beautiful! We are very happy. And there is a lifetime warranty!"
"Matt and the crew did a wonderful job on our bathroom. They made our door frames even, easy to work with, easy to communicate with, and no hard pushy sales. They completely redid our bathroom from top to bottom. And we were able to pick out what we wanted. They were professional and efficient. They will be a company we will use for future projects."

Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
You should consider replacing your bathtub if the tub—or any potential refinishing—is older than about 20 years old. However, acrylic and fiberglass bathtubs have a shorter lifespan (about 10 to 15 years). You may decide to replace your bathtub sooner if there are stains or mold you can’t get rid of, no matter how much you clean it, or if you find leaks and cracks that could lead to costly water damage.
The time it takes to install a bathtub depends on the type of tub, the condition of the existing plumbing, and the installation's complexity. A new bathtub can be installed in four to eight hours. However, this can take longer if any additional plumbing work or bathroom modifications are needed.
If you have an alcove in your bathroom, you don’t necessarily need to install an alcove tub. You can choose a drop-in tub and fit the frame to the alcove. This allows you to get a more custom or spa-like look. Think cultured marble or tiling for the frame versus the simpler look of acrylic or fiberglass with an alcove tub.
Persistent leaks, outdated styles, or surface damage are indicators for a replacement.
