"Excellent! Flavio replaced our front steps and repaired our portico columns. He used composite materials and did an excellent job actually better than I expected. He is truly a craftsman who does exactly what he says he is going to do. I would highly recommend! Thanks Flavio."
"I had my roof replaced. The salesperson was knowledgeable and very personable. Bridget was amazing. Communication was great throughout the entire process and I was satisfied with the results."
"Claudio helped me out of a jam with shower that needed a quick buildout! he recommended tile so we could meet a timeline and fit a typical but awkward, old Newport bathroom shape. He was easy to communicate with by text , he suggested the colors and tiles to use and took all the work off of me so I could work on other pressing items. Ill look forward to working with him again !"

"A+++ Patriot was SUBSTANTIALLY less than all the other quotes I received. I wish we called them first! The remodeling project exceeded all expectations, transforming the bathroom into a stunning, modern space. The old bathtub, which had been in use for 25 years, was becoming increasingly difficult for a 90-year-old to navigate due to its high step. Now, thanks to the thoughtful renovation, there is a comfortable and easily accessible shower that allows me to sit down and enjoy the experience without any struggle. The new design is not only beautiful but also incredibly functional, making my daily routine much more enjoyable and safe."
"Bedford Builders assisted me with a replacement of a large picture window in my living room. The window was improperly sized by the window company which led it to crack and cold temperatures. The replacement window was then improperly sized and cut on multiple occasions by the window company. Bob was very patient and skilled in dealing with the window company and making work what we had available until the right size window was delivered. Simply put... I would have not been able to accomplish this by myself. He was not satisfied until the window was correctly sized and correctly installed. His professionalism and thoroughness are qualities that aren't always found today as jobs are rushed and finished subpar. If you are in need of a contractor for any type of remodeling you absolutely will be well taken care of and satisfied with the quality of work you are provided."
"Claudio is the man! He was prompt, punctual, and professional. He transformed our laundry room bathroom into a beautiful space. When he noticed we had old plumbing shut offâ s he suggested replacing them at no additional cost. I canâ t wait to do another project and Coastal will be my first call."
"Lucas and crew from DC57 finished the job in just a few hours and on a Sunday! Solid work! They replaced my old stairs with a beautifully build new set. I will be hiring DC57 for more work that I need done!"
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Plan your budget, storage needs, accessibility features, and design aesthetics before starting.
The order of your bathroom renovation should prevent damage to the completed work. Start with demolition and removing the old fixtures. Then, address structural repairs or water damage, if needed. Next, tackle the rough-in phase for plumbing and electrical work, install waterproofing, and work on wall treatments like tile or paint. Install your shower or bathtub, toilet, vanity, and sink. Flooring goes in after major fixtures but before the toilet. Lastly, install new lighting fixtures, mirrors, and other finishing touches as desired.
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.
If your tub is attached to the wall, the best material will be one that can be shaped to fit your space perfectly. A cast-polymer, acrylic, or fiberglass tub will likely be the easiest to install as a built-in because it can be designed to fit your space.
A drop-in tub is just one of the types of bathtubs available. Depending on your needs and the space available, you can consider an alcove tub for quick installation, a whirlpool tub for added relaxation, a freestanding tub for a statement piece, or a corner tub to take advantage of the space in a larger bathroom.
