"Converted tub to shower, 1 day installation! Professional from start to finish, it was very smooth working with them. I appreciated how thorough and transparent they were in regards to pricing and timeline of the whole project. Not the cheapest of the contractors I got quotes from but their labor and materials came with warranty and 1 day installation was worth the cost. Plus, their quote was still a bit cheaper than other well known national brands that offer similar service. Highly recommend Renken!"
"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."
"A wanted bathroom with tub changed to a shower. The price was what I expected until the rebates they have cut thousands. Will contact them again for future renovations."
"Mr. Turner provided a design to convert the garage into a home that is visually appealing and kept costs down. He took care of all the permits and inspections (many). All the electrical, plumbing, drywall, insulation and heating work was well done - never a problem in passing inspections. The craftsmanship on the carpentry work is beautiful includes a walk in closet, laundry closet, window framing and baseboards. Bathroom was well thought out-every inch used. Many details I had not thought of Mr. Turner did (led ceiling lights, well placed heaters, lots of insulation added into the walls and attic). They also did an excellent painting finish of the entire house and floor installation. They left the home spotless to include cleaning out the heaters. Mr. Turner provided a detailed estimate with drawings after our first meeting and provided me an update after I requested additional work. This is a very honest and nice company to deal with. We will definitely call them in future for other projects."

"Craig and his team were awesome. They remodeled our bathroom for less than half of what we were quoted by the other companies. They did a great job and they were very efficient and fast to get the work done. I can't say enough about the guys at RCH Construction. My family and I are very grateful. Recommend 100%"
"If you want it done right, call Top Leader Construction. Ilan goes that extra step to make sure EVERYTHING is correct. He built a deck for us and a ramp. Plus he put grip bars in the shower. Everything looks professional and really, perfect. Everything went smoothly and he did exactly what he said he would do. It was by far, the best remodel I have ever experienced. No problems, no glitches. I plan to use them again and again."

Replacement also takes longer if you replace your shower door as a DIY project.
If properly installed and maintained, an acrylic shower should last 10 to 20 years. Acrylic costs more than fiberglass, but it's also a better value because it's among the most durable and damage-resistant materials used for shower walls. Acrylic showers tend not to chip, crack, or fade over time, even with regular use.
Whether walk-in showers are worth it depends on your goals and priorities. For many, walk-in showers are worth the investment due to the increased accessibility, the minimalist aesthetic, and the ease of cleaning. They’re particularly beneficial for households that want low-threshold access for aging in place. However, if you love taking baths and want more privacy and a warmer showering space, a walk-in shower may not be the best bathroom upgrade for you.
Most of the time, Medicare will not pay for a roll-in shower because it isn’t considered medically necessary. However, a doctor’s recommendation and other medical evidence may qualify you for reimbursement. If you need a roll-in shower for medical reasons, you will likely need to pay up front for installation and then apply for reimbursement.
