"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!"
"Luis and his team did an excellent job. We have a house built in 1966 with plaster walls and cast iron tub and they had a bear of a time on the demo. They made sure everything was covered and did an excellent job of cleaning when the shower stall was completed. Could not be happier with the stand up shower and their install. Highly recommend!!!"
"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 didnt need a remodel, which I clearly stated in my request... not the only company that called offering services that would only help AFTER I found someone to put in pipes for a unexisting bathroom."
"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."
Tub Shower Conversion questions, answered by experts
If you have an alcove in your bathroom, you don’t necessarily need to install an alcove tub. You can choose a drop-in tub and fit the frame to the alcove. This allows you to get a more custom or spa-like look. Think cultured marble or tiling for the frame versus the simpler look of acrylic or fiberglass with an alcove tub.
While Medicare will pay for some bathroom modifications, it won’t pay for all modifications done to help make the room more accessible for older adults. Plus, the improvements must be approved in advance, or they won’t cover the upgrade. Check well in advance of construction if you have coverage for grab bars, walk-in tubs, wider doorways, higher toilets, and more.
Shower niches can be placed anywhere they will be most accessible for those in the shower. A shower niche should be close enough to the showerhead that it’s convenient to grab products, but not so close that it’s in the direct path of the water. You can also consider the overall shower design and favor symmetry, integrate the niche with the tile design, or hire a bathroom remodeling contractor to help you decide.
A bathroom without a bathtub is called a half bath or powder room. This type of bathroom commonly contains a toilet and a sink and is smaller than a standard bathroom that includes a bathtub or shower. Half baths or powder rooms are commonplace on the first story of a home and are ideal as a guest toilet.
Current trends include frameless glass, smart shower systems, and water-efficient fixtures.
