"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."
"We recently used David Turner's company to remodel our master bathroom, and I couldn't be happier. I can be a particular, sometimes demanding client, and to top it off, I was working with him remotely from Alexandria, so there were many phone conversations and pictures exchanged with David who was onsite in Shepherdstown keeping me apprised of progress. David was on top of everything. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect and regularly came up with ideas for how to do things better that aligned well with the vision I had for the room. In addition to solid construction, he paid a lot of attention on prep work to ensure the rest of the house was protected during construction. He was highly responsive, and the end result is beautiful. I can't say enough positive things about this experience."
"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."
"It went really well. I needed two large rooms done (removing carpet and installing laminate floors I had already purchased). I had put in a request on Angie’s for a quote and I received a call right away. Mario was able to come over the same day and give me an estimate. It was almost half of what I had received from other floor install companies. They were able to schedule me in right away. And the job was done in one day. The floors look great! No complains."
Curbless walk-in showers are considered the best shower option for older adults because they are easier to step into and have room for a bench inside. Users often have room to roll a walker or wheelchair into the stall. Be sure to install a handheld showerhead so the user can rinse off easily without needing to move their body to the shower stream.
Indications include persistent leaks, mold growth, outdated style, or recurring plumbing issues.
In short, it depends. When it comes to accessibility, a roll-in shower is easier to enter than a walk-in bathtub because it doesn’t have the extra step required to access the bathing area. On the downside, walk-in showers can be less safe for seniors who struggle with standing or balancing. Parents of young children may also prefer walk-in bathtubs for their ease of bathing children who don’t yet know how to clean themselves.
A frameless shower door installation can increase your home’s resale value because of its modern aesthetics and luxurious look. Not only do frameless shower doors provide more space in the bathroom and enhanced utility and functionality, but this upgrade can promote a luxurious user experience. If you’re looking to sell your home in the near future, this could be a good upgrade for the bathroom.
Use mortar underneath the shower base. The mortar holds the shower pan in place and creates a level surface when spread properly. If your flooring is not level, you would need to use shims to create a level surface before moving forward with the mortar and base installation.
Note that installing a shower pan on an uneven surface can eventually lead to cracks and leaks.
