"Getting a walk in tub is expensive no matter who you use. My experience thus far is with installation only and I must say my install went great. It has been over a month and no issues with my tub so I cannot comment on repair process with American Standard."
"I recently hired Jeff Lemire to replace the tile floor in my entryway and couldn't be more impressed with the results. From start to finish the job went seamlessly. He was professional and courteous and walked me through the process explaining all of my options and making knowledgeable suggestions for the space. The work was completed on time and the quality of the craftmanship is outstanding with great attention to detail."
"This was a big job, removed cast iron tub and installed handicap walk in shower. Trevor, Jesse and Lucas went above and beyond making sure the job was done right. We enjoyed having them in our home and it was done in one day. And it all started with a great consultation with Bre. We are very happy!!!!"
"Joe and his team put a beautiful addition on to my house. He did a great job of communicating and worked with us on pricing throughout. I would recommend him without hesitation."
"Brad did a fantastic job all the way through, from the proposal, to sending me colors and options to choose, getting the work done on time and with quality !! Appreciated the update and pictures along the way (I was out of town), and also him always keeping me apprised if there were any difficulties or dealing with the issues that always pop up during a job. Really excellent communications !"

A roll-in shower is a popular bathroom remodel for seniors that includes a large, open space that's larger than your standard shower, a smooth, beveled slope no higher than half an inch to allow wheelchairs to enter, shower handrails to assist with support, anti-slip coating, and a shower bench for sitting. Some roll-in showers have other features like shelving, storage, and hand shower arm extensions or slide mounts.
Deciding between using a shower pan or tile will likely come down to the shower’s design. You can learn how to install a shower pan liner, but it has a standard look similar to most other showers, though there is some flexibility for material and color choices. Tile, on the other hand, can be customized and is set directly into the shower base. However, a shower tile floor is more difficult to install than a shower pan.
While any bathroom remodel has a positive return on investment, an en suite bathroom can significantly increase a home’s resale value. It makes a property more enticing to buyers with families, particularly those with young children. However, keep in mind that at least one of the bathrooms should have a tub.
Generally, shower walls should not be installed over drywall because of the moisture issues this can cause. If you’re using a direct-to-stud shower kit, you need to remove the drywall before you can do the installation.
However, if you’re using a glue-up shower kit or stall, you can glue the shower walls directly to drywall. Be sure to install a moisture-resistant drywall or waterproof cement board.
You should replace your shower cartridge if it’s still dripping water after you turn off the shower. This is the most common way to know when the cartridge is past its prime, but there are other signs. If you have a hard time turning the shower handle, as though it's "stuck," it may be time to replace it. On the flip side, if it turns way too easily as though it's slipping, but water isn't coming out of the showerhead, you may need a new one.
