"Very friendly and easy to work with! Removed old walls, added insulation, repaired the uneven subfloor and replaced everything else. We picked out fixtures, tile and countertop in their showroom and the work began soon thereafter, and was completed quickly. They accommodated our schedule too, pausing work while we hosted holiday guests. They also repaired the window frame in the lavatory and replaced the water shutoff valve for us! Very reasonable price for the high quality materials and work. We’ll likely hire them again."
"I’ve been working with Protile Design for the past four years on some high profile jobs, and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Their professionalism and meticulous approach to the work is top notch; always leaving me completely happy, knowing the job was done right. I would highly recommend Protile Design to anyone wanting to do a bathroom or kitchen."
"Working with upgrade remodeling was seamless. The spokesperson knew what they were talking about. They worked with us on a price that we could afford and they got the work done in record time. This was something that we had put off for years turning our bathroom bathtub into a walk-in shower. We had a window in our bathroom that we were only utilizing a third of it. It was so nice to have that window fully open and available to let the light in. We would recommend them to anyone."
"I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing a remodeling. They were very professional and very understanding to my wants and needs. Very friendly and respectful and made sure that it was done the way I wanted. My kitchen and bathroom is beautiful and absolutely the way I wanted it to look. I will be recommending to all my friends and family. Great job guys!!"
"We had previously used Darrell & his crew for kitchen remodel and complete painting of interior of house. We were impressed with the professionalism and quality of the work performed. Based on our previous experience we contacted Darrell again for the remodeling of the master bathroom. They offered excellent ideas as to improvements, and did an excellent job. They replaced the vanity top with granite, installed new cabinets, removed the old tub & shower, and installed a new complete walk in shower, replaced window, and installed new tiled floor. Started on date as promised, took longer than expected, but did have people here everyday, but took longer for custom glass shower enclosure than expected. Would recommend Darrell and his crew to anyone who wants a great quality job. "
"I will use Ferguson Home Improvement again, Mr. Ferguson and his staff was very easy to communicate with and very professional. They completed the job in a day they were in an out and the quality of work is also impressive. I will use Ferguson Home Improvement again when I need their professional assistance. "
"The work was excellent. Brian McCracken performed a walk-though with me and provided detailed written estimates for the interior and exterior work. He explained the options and costs for each of the tasks, and was prompt in scheduling the jobs. His teams are first rate. Communication is excellent and they leave the site clean and tidy each day. There was not a drip of stray stray paint anywhere during or after the jobs. I especially appreciated the interior service. They emptied the closets and replaced everything after as they went along. They also took down and rehung all of the pictures and moved furniture as necessary. They were very responsive to follow-up issues (not their fault) with the fit of the front door after painting and replacing the seal. They came back twice to make adjustments and the final outcome was exactly what i wanted. All American was recommended to me by a friend who was very impressed with their exterior work on his townhouse. I recommended them to a neighbor who is also very pleased with their interior painting. They are not the lowest bidder but their prices are fair and the work is of the highest quality."
"I loved her service! I enjoyed the design. She was very pleasant, kind, talented, and professional! This was a long distance consultation service, which made this experience even more incredible!"
"We used it for our son’s nursery. We were not completely satisfied with the service as the deal did not include as much as we expected. The company was fine but we would not purchase this deal again."
"Everything ran smooth and they came in under budget. It is nice to have a handyman service that is professional and honest. They really took their time to make sure that they knew the source of the leak and that they had it sealed. They also advised me of the possibility of more storms tomorrow and offered to clean out the gutters while they were there for a very fair price. Sense having my knee replaced I don't do roofs anymore; well I know who I can call now. Again thanks Walls Construction and Handyman Service, no more roof leaks or gutters clogged."
Bathtub Replacement questions, answered by experts
Acrylic tubs can fade or turn yellow over time due to thick layers of accumulated dirt, hard water deposits from minerals, and shampoo or soap dyes. Also, as an acrylic tub ages, it may become dull or change color due to changes in the acrylic itself.
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.
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.
Ensures correct plumbing connections and secure installation to prevent future water damage.
Of the two most common and affordable bathtub materials, acrylic is notably better. Though fiberglass is cheaper, it is also more prone to scratching, chipping, fading, and cracking. Acrylic holds up better to wear and tear, cleaning, and sun exposure; the slight cost increase is usually worth the increased longevity.
