"We recently purchased a newly constructed home with a beautiful kitchen that was only lacking one thing - lighting under the cabinets to illuminate the countertops. We have a tile backsplash which, I feared, would make it impossible to install the lighting without having it look like an obvious retrofit. Dennis recommended a solution and provided an estimate. The work was completed in about two hours and looks like it was part of the original kitchen installation. He even thought to include a dimmer switch at no extra charge. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. As a serious cook, the lighting in my prep area is very important. I would highly recommend Dennis and his crew. This was the second time I had them do work for us. They arrive on time, treat your property with respect, clean up after themselves and do quality work. They will be my go-to from now on."

Customers say: Quick response

"The MR FIXIT crew started with interior painting color change throughout our house, which included shimming some interior doors and minor wall repair. Ceilings were painted too. After that job was done, we moved to finishing a roughed in downstairs garage complete with adding interior walls with paint, ceiling drywall with paint, plumbing reconfiguration, and we added some galvanized metal roofing panels for the walls. After that project was completed the Mr. Fixit crew moved into extending a roof over our 40'x12' concrete patio. All the beams and support structure were fabricated by hand. All three major projects were started and finished on time. All of the work on all three projects was completed to our satisfaction at a fair cost. The Mr. Fixit crew workmanship and dependability was well worth the money. Highly recommend them for home remodeling."

"We moved to TN four years ago and hired TJ to remodel our bathrooms along with the kitchen, the porch and install LVP flooring. His price was fair. TJ has high quality skills, a great deal of knowledge about construction and an honest attitude. He shows up on time and cleans up on a daily basis. His work ethic is excellent. TJ takes pride in everything he does. He has good communication skills with his customers. There is also a creative side to TJ which helps him to understand the customer's vision. We continue to hire him to this day and will have him complete projects for us into the future."

Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.

There are several ways to save money on a bathroom remodel through proper planning and savvy design strategies. To reduce costs, consider the following:

  • Purchase your own materials: Buy your own bathroom fixtures, hardware, and other materials to avoid contractor upcharges and delivery fees.

  • Shop smart for big-ticket items: Save on pricey items like tiles and tubs by shopping sales and at discount stores.

  • Avoid major layout changes: Keep plumbing in its current location. Opt to replace fixtures rather than moving them to avoid significant renovation work.

  • Focus on high-impact, low-cost updates: Make affordable but impactful smaller changes, such as upgrading hardware, installing new lighting, and adding stylish but economical accessories.

  • DIY where possible: Handle easier parts of the remodel yourself, like painting or installing light fixtures, to save on labor costs.

  • Time your remodel strategically: Consider remodeling in the spring, which tends to be a lower-demand time of year and may result in lower costs.

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.

Whether converting a tub to a shower is worth it depends on your personal circumstances and priorities. For many, a shower is a safer option that reduces the risk of slip-and-fall accidents, making it a valuable upgrade. It can also be a worthwhile conversion if a shower is more practical for your lifestyle and you rarely use the tub. However, there are potential downsides to consider. The cost, which can range from $1,200 to $8,000, can be a deterrent. Additionally, if you have young children, a bathtub is often easier for bathing them. Finally, removing the only bathtub in a home can potentially lower its resale value in the eyes of some buyers.

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.
