Q: When should I wear a respirator?

• <div><p>It is best to wear a respirator during the sanding, painting, and sealing process. It can filter particles, vapors, and fumes that can be toxic to breathe. So it&rsquo;s better to be safe and protect your lungs during this project.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to refinish a bathtub?

• <div><p>For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub&mdash;you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side. </p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required after surfaces are resurfaced or refaced?

• <div><p>Routine cleaning with light detergents, avoiding abrasives, and timely addressing chips prolong the new surface appearance.</p></div>

Jason did a number of things at our remodel including switching a bathtub shower to a walk in and replacing another bathtub with a new one. He did all the rough in for us. He provides quality work at a fair price and he is reliable. The only plumber we will use from now on!!

The plumber, Jesse, is outstanding. He is a complete professional. He dug up my yard, replaced the PVC, and restored the yard to where you were unable to tell it was disturbed. He is a great communicator - keeps you fully informed of what is going on. I was lucky to have him fix my very bad leak.
