"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.
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.
You can put a structure under your bathtub for support. Many modern tubs come with a built-in support structure underneath. Almost any type of mortar or floor-leveling compound is acceptable for new bathtubs that don’t include a support structure.
You can also install spray foam under an existing bathtub to eliminate or reduce squeaking or sagging. However, spray foam isn’t rigid enough for primary tub support.
Options include alcove, freestanding, clawfoot, or whirlpool tubs for various preferences.
The cost to install a shower or a tub is roughly the same. Shower installation costs range from $2,400 to $8,800 and vary depending on the type and size, materials used, and the complexity of the features. For similar reasons, the average bathtub cost can range from $2,000 to $9,400.
