"West Shore Home of Charleston was an excellent choice for our tub to shower conversion. From the start with our saleman Bill Pace to the finished products with Mario Ingianni and his assistant, we are extremely pleased. Mario came out on Wednesday and converted our bathtub/shower combo to a shower and then he came back on Friday and replaced an old bathtub with a new one. All of this was accomplished in one day each. This is with fixing a hidden leak in the bathroom on Friday. The whole crew with West Shore Home was very professional, courteous, and prompt. We would highly recommend West Shore Home!"

"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"Derek responded to my initial call and met me at my house to look at the project so he could prepare an estimate. He seemed to know exactly what could be done and gave me two options, one more expensive than another. I went with the more involved and more expensive option which was to remove the cabinet doors, move the bottom of the cabinet and all of it's support, and remake the doors using the existing materials to fit the smaller cabinet size. Derek and his men did a fantastic job. The cabinet looks like it was designed and built that way! I am a very happy customer, and so is my wife."
"First he inspected the projects. Second determined the best products and approach which would provide the best results. Then using his skill the finished product looked as good as new. A Plus Home Services is my go to handyman from this day forward."

"My wife on hospice now can easily step into an excellent show stall instead of the old tub and shower combo. The new unit is easier to clean and offers no places that I can see where mold is likely to grow. Cleaning used to be a major chore, just keeping mold in check."
"Hayner and his crew were very punctual, dependable and professional. Based on thier advice I came to the conclusion that I needed a better flooring material in my bathrooms and kitchen, that's when I decided to have them install tile flooring. They were more than happy to add this additional project to thier workload on such short notice. They finished the flooring in my entire house (1,400) square feet in only a few days."
"J&G Tile Services does very quality work at very reasonable prices. Jose & James are a great team who works hard until they get the job done. They take great pride in their work & it makes them happy when their customers are pleased with their work. They are very polite and are a great pleasure to be around! I would highly recommend J&G Tile Services to anyone!"
In short, it depends. When it comes to accessibility, a roll-in shower is easier to enter than a walk-in bathtub because it doesn’t have the extra step required to access the bathing area. On the downside, walk-in showers can be less safe for seniors who struggle with standing or balancing. Parents of young children may also prefer walk-in bathtubs for their ease of bathing children who don’t yet know how to clean themselves.
How long shower valves last depends on the type you have, how much use it gets, the hardness of your water, and whether the valve was installed correctly. Good-quality brass shower valves are sturdy and last around 20 years, while lower-quality plastic valves last 4 to 5 years. Since shower valves wear out over time, you can proactively replace yours after 15 years or whenever you update your showerhead.
Most shower arms are ½-inch national pipe thread (NPT). It’s best to check the thread size before buying a new shower arm or showerhead to ensure everything will fit together once you’re ready to install. Remember that older homes or those outside North America may not have standard pipe or thread sizes, which can complicate installation and make it more important to check the thread size before buying.
It depends on your or your loved one’s needs. One grab bar will do if you only need help getting in and out of the shower. You might need two: one near your shower’s entrance if you need help getting in and out of your shower and another to help you move around inside it.
Generally, shower walls should not be installed over drywall because of the moisture issues this can cause. If you’re using a direct-to-stud shower kit, you need to remove the drywall before you can do the installation.
However, if you’re using a glue-up shower kit or stall, you can glue the shower walls directly to drywall. Be sure to install a moisture-resistant drywall or waterproof cement board.
