"Joe D. and Justin did an excellent job removing our old cast iron tub/surround and installing a new shower assembly. Grade "A" work from demo, through install, and cleanup. I highly recommend this company to anyone planning on remodeling their bathroom."
"I am very happy with my new shower. Takesha and John D. Were amazing. Takessha walked me through everything that they were going to do, take out tub, remove all tile and drywall.I had a drain pipe, that ran along my tub on the outside wall. We worked it out that, Takesha would have to pack out the wall a extra 21/2, to make it all work. Takesha and John really impressed me., they were amazing. They were super clean and coved everything. I am so very happy with there work and how sweet they both were. Thanks again Takesha and John D. And West Shore home"
"The owner Joe is honest,personable and hard working. He gave me a fair quote for the project and helped me save some money. He and his crew arrived promptly and completed the job within promised timeframe. I gave 5 stars for professionalism and meticulous craftsmanship."
"Jesse and the team at Resurrect Construction did a near-whole home remodel on our property. They performed meticulous work with exceptional quality at an affordable price. They were extremely well rounded: siding, exterior doors and lighting, interior flooring, drywall, painting, trim work, and more. When the project met barriers, they even replaced rotted wood and performed mold remediation at an extremely good price with great execution. We felt at ease throughout the duration of the project and the team was conscientious of our living arrangements, children, and working with our schedules. They were extremely professional and polite throughout and we will most definitely consider them for any other projects in the future. If we could give more than 5 stars we would."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Fiberglass tubs last between 10 and 15 years or more if they’re well-maintained. Proper care will help them last as long as possible. However, fiberglass bathtubs are prone to cracking, fading, and scratches over time. Bathtub installation by a plumber is one of the best ways to ensure your tub has the right support to last its full lifespan.
Yes, a bathroom remodel is a worthwhile home improvement project that typically adds value to your home, offering a return on investment (ROI) between 60% and 70%. Potential buyers look closely at bathrooms and kitchens, as these are often the most expensive rooms to renovate. A modern, updated bathroom is more appealing and assures buyers that the plumbing, fixtures, and flooring have a long, useful life ahead. Beyond the financial return, a remodel can also greatly increase your day-to-day satisfaction by creating a more inviting, spa-like space. Even a basic refresh with new paint and accessories can make a significant difference.
Start by gutting the old fixtures and features that need to be removed, such as the tile, vanity, and flooring. You may benefit by removing the toilet, even if you intend to use the same one. Next, install the new shower or tub, followed by the flooring, and then the drywall, which you should then paint. After that, install your new cabinets, vanity, countertop, sink, and faucet, in that order. Replace your light fixture next. Lastly, reconnect the toilet.
We don’t recommend using a tub liner to cover up cracks in a bathtub. Instead, you should repair the cracks yourself if you have the experience or hire a pro. Cracks may seem like small surface imperfections, but they can lead to much larger issues, so repair them as soon as you can.
The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you’re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now. Additionally, if your tub has only minor damage, refinishing it will make it look new again without the extra demolition and time.
