"Cody M and Tim did an excellent job. Very professional. Showed up early and worked straight through until they were finished. They took out an old bathtub and shower and replaced it with new. Very please with their work."
"I can’t say enough about Three Rivers Remodeling, LLC. ! Dion was excellent! He followed through on contacting me when I couldn’t get responses from other companies. He made useful suggestions, listened to my opinions/concerns and was definitely customer oriented. He quoted a very reasonable price. Very professional and dedicated. Can’t thank Dion and John enough... it truly turned out to be my dream bathroom!"
"Mad City Windows and Baths have replaced two windows for us as well as replaced our bathtub shower unit in our guest bath. In all cases the jobs went great from sales visits to installation. Everything was timely, professional, and clean. We would gladly use this team again!"
"I hired Luiz to remove kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, cooktop, oven and lift hardwood flooring. He then reinstalled the cabinets and appliances. Ceramic tile was installed to perfection. He also repaired some walls and painted the ceiling. Looks great! Easy to work with, very professional and fair market value pricing too. Iâ  m recommending him to my family!"
"Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with & does amazing, detailed work. From start to finish, he worked clean, with great attention to detail. Our new tub with subway tile walls is gorgeous. We are so pleased with Dan & will be using him for future projects in our home. Very highly recommend."

"Brian came to our home to do a tub to shower installation. He was very respectful and reviewed what he would be doing. The project was completed within the time frame we were told. Again, he reviewed what he had done and how to properly care for the shower. It really looks great and we are looking forward to using it. Thank you Brian and rite window team. Respectfully Leslie Greeley Brewster Ma"
"Mark and his team were fantastic to work with. We wanted to have 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath completely remodeled - gutted down to the studs. Mark was prompt with responses, great to collaborate with on design recommendations, and the finished product is beautiful! The entire team was polite and respectful, and they all did a great job with their various tasks, from demolition, framing out the new shower, tiling the floors and wet spaces, plumbing, drywalling, painting, installing fixtures and hardware, through to the final clean-up. We genuinely enjoyed having the team work at our house for several weeks because they were friendly and funny, and we were sad to see them go, but we have their beautiful handiwork to show for it."
Whether replacing a bathtub with a shower affects your home's value depends on several factors, with the most significant being whether it's the only tub in the house. Removing the sole bathtub can lower a home's value because many prospective buyers, particularly families with young children or pets, require at least one.
However, a tub-to-shower conversion can also increase home value. A modern walk-in shower is often seen as an upgrade in a secondary bathroom and can be a desirable feature for its accessibility and style, appealing to older homebuyers or those without children. The overall impact is also influenced by your local real estate market and its typical buyer demographic.
If your bathroom layout allows, installing both a freestanding bathtub and a separate shower can be an ideal solution that appeals to the widest range of potential buyers.
The best bathroom floor tiles are strong enough to withstand the weight of a clawfoot tub. However, professional tile installation is essential. If the tiles are uneven or improperly fixed, they may crack under the pressure. Be careful when installing the tub—if it drops or drags on the tiles, it could easily cause scratches or cracks.
Technically, yes, you can put a shower on a Roman tub, but it's not common. The vast majority of Roman tubs are standalone models. Adding a shower would involve installing a ceiling-mounted curtain rod or a custom glass enclosure, as well as redoing the plumbing, making it neither easy nor budget-friendly.
The diverter valve in your bathtub is responsible for diverting water between your tub spout and your shower head. If water comes out of both at the same time, you have a faulty diverter valve. You can have a plumber replace this for you, or you can replace it yourself if you have some experience working with plumbing fixtures.
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.
