"Excellent service from start to finish! The team was professional, punctual, and very knowledgeable. They explained everything clearly and made sure the work was done safely and efficiently. I’m very satisfied with the results and would definitely recommend them to anyone needing asbestos abatement. Thank you for the great work!"
"I had had my bathtub glazed about a month ago by someone in Roanoke and they did a terrible job. My tub felt like orange peel! I contacted Roy at Professional Glazing And Tub Repair, and he promised he could make it look like brand new. True to his word it looks fabulous! It is smooth, glossy like glass! I could not be happier! Also, he warranties his work in writing. He is a master at what he does! I can’t say enough good things about his work!"
"Kevin and Allison just finished a bathroom update for me today and I couldn’t be happier with the job. They were so helpful and good to work with and the workmanship on my bathroom was excellent. It really looked beautiful! Kevin is very meticulous with all his work and it certainly shows. I certainly would not hesitate to use them again and plan to when I upgrade my other two bathrooms. You certainly will be pleased with their excellent work. Revonda Rand"
"The crew from Upgrade Remodeling did an excellent job in transforming an aging outdated bathroom into a modern fully functional bathroom. The work they complete was a total transformation of our bathroom. This included turning the bathtub into a beautiful walk-in shower, a new vanity with much more room than the original, a new toilet, new mirror, stylish light, new towel racks, and a new floor. The work also included complete removal of very ugly 70s green wall tile and complete paint job including ceiling. All this in two days. The crew also provided shielding from dirt and dust. When the crew left you could not tell they had been here except for a beautiful new bathroom."
"After lightning hit my breaker box last night. I was without power in my bed/bath. Duke Energy told me to call an electrician. I went to Google and found Gerald. He solved my problem remotely in 15 minutes! Very knowledgeable and prompt! Highly recommend him!"
"I contacted several contractors about doing the work I needed done. Tony was the only one that stayed in contact with me and completed the job in 2 days Outstanding company to do business with. Very professional and high quality performance. I will use this company again on future projects. Highly recommend this company to anyone wanting home improvements done."
"Very well. Came in on time Friday morning, noting that a blizzard was in the forecast for Saturday, they decided to stay all day Friday to complete the service. Flooring looks great."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
A standard bathtub can be used for soaking, but they tend to be shallower (between 15 and 18 inches deep). A soaking tub is designed to be deep enough to totally submerge yourself in the water (about 20 and 24 inches deep). Additionally, most soaking tubs are freestanding, while regular bathtubs come in various styles with drop-in, surround, and wall-mounted options available.
Acrylic bathtubs can last up to 30 years without major issues if they receive the right care and maintenance. They can last even longer but might scratch or stain as they age. The expected longevity is a major factor when investing in a new tub. Cast-iron tubs are the longest-lasting option.
Yes, a bathroom remodel is a worthwhile home improvement project that typically adds value to your home, offering a return on investment (ROI) between 60% and 70%. Potential buyers look closely at bathrooms and kitchens, as these are often the most expensive rooms to renovate. A modern, updated bathroom is more appealing and assures buyers that the plumbing, fixtures, and flooring have a long, useful life ahead. Beyond the financial return, a remodel can also greatly increase your day-to-day satisfaction by creating a more inviting, spa-like space. Even a basic refresh with new paint and accessories can make a significant difference.
Small bathroom renovation costs don’t have to break the bank. A $5,000 budget is realistic, provided you're not adding luxurious fittings or making complex layout changes. Changing the layout is the most costly aspect of renovating a bathroom. So if you keep the layout, do some of the job DIY (within your skillset), and use relatively affordable fixtures and accessories, you should be able to stay within your budget.
The cost of installing a new bathtub is considerably more expensive than refinishing an existing one, so if you’re looking to upgrade your tub on a budget, you might be better off refinishing it for now. Additionally, if your tub has only minor damage, refinishing it will make it look new again without the extra demolition and time.
