"I was expecting a total renovation but with American Home Design we only changed the bathtub for a walk in shower. The rest of the renovation was left for us to contend with. For the high cost I thought we would have everything completed. I am happy with the shower and the lifetime warranty on it!"
"Everything installed looked good, used panel sheets for shower walls. The only issues we had was the shower could have been wider from entry glass door to back wall but we were not given an option to make that request. Also the walls where the Jacuzzi was torn out were not repaired smoothly but was rough and had a ridge in the middle."

"Jon Stroede from Oakstone came out and did a very comprehensive demo in regards to our plan to convert out tub to a shower. Install went very well and was done in a day and a half. Had to come back next morning to finish. Very professional from start to finish. Quality was better than what we expected. Price was less than we budgeted for this project. Highly recommend this company. Appreciated the finance options,even though we didn?t use them."
