"I recently had Lance Homes complete a couple of upgrades in my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He installed new cabinet hardware throughout my kitchen and also replaced my bathroom vanity—and everything turned out absolutely beautiful.
From start to finish, he was professional, detail-oriented, and easy to work with. The cabinet hardware was installed perfectly and instantly gave my kitchen a fresh, updated look. The new bathroom vanity installation was just as impressive—clean, precise work with great attention to detail.
What really stood out was his craftsmanship and care. He treated my home with respect, showed up on time, and made sure everything was done right.
Highly recommend Lance Homes if you’re looking for quality work and a team you can trust!"
"I could not ask for a more efficient or professional upgrade to my bathroom. David and Kenny came to my house and surpassed my expectations. If I wanted more than was given I would have been unreasonable. From the point of sale to the completion of this install I am impressed, a happy camper as it were. No claim was made that has not been fulfilled. My thanks to The Bath Authority for the improvement to my home and the highly skilled people that put it all together."
"I am very pleased with the job Steven, Zack and Dan did in my bathroom. The change is to surprise you. Steven, Zack and Dan were very respectful and kind. They updated me every time they were going to start work. They were very professional and punctual. The work was done in one day with wonderful results. I can recommend all three of them, if you want a job well done and on time. Thanks to Steven,Zack and Dan, I have a comfortable and accessible shower, especially for my sister who has very specific health conditions. They treated her with respect and made sure that the bathroom accessories were within her reach. I definitely hire them after. Thanks guys."
"Shelly, the project designer with whom we worked, was fantastic. She has great ideas and is really organized. The bathrooms are really beautiful. The follow up from Bennett Dover was great as well. We had a few problems a year later, and they came and fixed them for us! Joe, the project manager, was great and really responsive too. They definitely cost more than other companies, but if you don't want to have to micromanage the job, it is probably worth it. The punch date ran last, as they used a subcontractor for the tile who took a loooooong time to finish and who was not very good. However, we complained about water pooling in the shower about 5 months after the job was done, and they came right out and fixed it."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
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.
A standard bathtub can be used for soaking, but they tend to be shallower (between 15 and 18 inches deep). A soaking tub is designed to be deep enough to totally submerge yourself in the water (about 20 and 24 inches deep). Additionally, most soaking tubs are freestanding, while regular bathtubs come in various styles with drop-in, surround, and wall-mounted options available.
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.
A powder room cannot have a bath. If it had a bath, it would likely be considered a three-quarter bath or full bath, depending on the other features. You might hear the term “powder room” used to describe a bathroom used by guests, but it wouldn’t technically be a powder room. However, powder rooms or half baths are ideal for guests because they can use it without entering the more private areas of the home.
Options include alcove, freestanding, clawfoot, or whirlpool tubs for various preferences.
