"The owner was able to replace my damaged bathtub very quickly, did high quality work with friendly service, and completed the job at a price far below what his competitors estimated. I would absolutely recommend 592 Properties and Construction!"

"I called Five Star Bath Solutions to remodel my master bath, take out my shower/tub combo and install a walk in shower with seat b/c I just had back surgery. The results we received were beyond great! We are so very satisfied with the remodel. Itâ s so much easier for me to take a shower now without help. The floor was the glue that brought it all together, it looks great! The professionalism I received from Greg was top notch, he was on top of everything, made the whole project run smooth. Sean was very prompt, and detailed throughout the project process. Five Star Bath Solutions exceeded my expectations. I love my new bath! Thanks Greg!"

"Date: 01/28/19 Task: Electrical Switches, Outlets & Fixtures - Install or Repair I have hired the Blatons for last June to replace the heat pump system. I have peace of mind program. Once a year, the technician came out to check all my electric and plumbing service. It is no cost but it will cost the ONLY something they find it wrong. The Blanton Techs are excellent services, very professional and knowledgeable. Thank you! I have been a Blantonscustomer for first years. Blantons Staff have always been impressed with their service and workmanship, but this was my first experience with their HVAC Technician, John A. was very pleased with honor customer service."

"Triangle Classic Homes <br /> Owner - Ralph Rohn <br />   <br /> Overview: <br /> Quality: 5 stars <br /> Timeliness of completion of work for my house: <br /> ·         <br /> July 2015 - 2 days for painting an entire house <br /> with a crew of 6-7. Crew leader: Jesus <br /> ·         <br /> December 2010 - 1.5 days for roofing an entire <br /> 2500 square foot 1.5 story house. Crew leader: Rudy <br /> ·         <br /> January 2011 - 3 days for new sheetrock and <br /> painting living room wall that suffered mold buildup from previous leaking <br /> roof. Note: spackling needs time to dry overnight properly before painting. <br /> Crew leader: another Jesus <br /> ·         <br /> May 2014 - 1 week for gutters due to unexpected <br /> complications> Crew leader: Noberto <br /> In general Ralph?s  subcontracted <br /> crews work extremely fast, methodically, professionally, and clean up well. <br />   <br /> Ralphs demeanor: <br /> Likes to kid around with the home owner with the intent with of establishing a <br /> long term friendship. If you are the type who easily gets offended with someone <br /> who is not politically correct and has a dry sense of humor you may not like Ralph. <br /> I like Ralph. Demeanor of Ralph?s subcontractor crew leaders: cheerful and <br /> eager to do good work. <br />   <br /> Ralph?s Philosophy: <br /> Customer does not pay anything until the job is complete and customer is <br /> completely satisfied. Generally prefers a verbal contract and what is written is <br /> not highly detailed. With most contractors before Ralph I found it necessary <br /> for a detailed contract because of their dishonesty. With Ralph I found it is <br /> only necessary to be basically clear what I want. He has the experience and <br /> character  to get it done correctly. It <br /> you do find something that one of his crews did not do correctly then simply <br /> and nicely call it to his attention without panicking and he will gladly make <br /> sure it is corrected to your satisfaction  <br /> in a timely manner (no long drawn out delays). <br />   <br /> The only time I panicked was during the gutter install when <br /> two of Noberto?s crew during his absence did not seal the end-caps properly and <br /> align the downspouts properly. When I showed Noberto the evidence he cheerfully <br /> corrected the issues himself. I?ve come to realize I don?t have to babysit any <br /> of Ralph?s crews like I have had to do with other contractors when Ralph was <br /> booked up solid with other customers. <br />   <br /> With Ralph?s crews for the most part - watch and be amazed <br /> with delight. <br />   <br /> The only negative: <br /> Ralph is partial to Plygem windows because Plygem gives contractors the least <br /> amount of grief and better discounts. My experience with Plygem, even their <br /> high end windows, is of poor quality in protection from the elements. Note: <br /> they were installed by a previous contractor. When I ordered replacement casement <br /> sashes I had to return the first set due to poor packaging and scarring. On the <br /> replacement set a year after install, the flaps that protect from the rain began <br /> to tear off easily when opening the window. Note: Plygem took over M&W <br /> Windows. <br /> Note: even a good quality window will not last long if <br /> poorly installed whereas a poorer quality window will last longer if installed <br /> properly and homeowner follows manufacturer?s instructions for proper <br /> maintenance. <br />   <br /> Advice: When it <br /> comes to windows and siding it is best to budget/ set aside in advance at least <br /> $35K for a 2600 square foot house. Reason is the manufacturers of siding change <br /> their thickness on a regular basis and window manufacturers also do not <br /> maintain backwards compatibility when it comes to dimensions. Twenty year old windows <br /> and siding cannot be replaced piecemeal which my wife and I have learned the <br /> frequently frustrating and expensive way over the last 20 years. <br />   <br /> My recommendations for: <br /> ·         <br /> Siding - LP Smartside <br /> ·         <br /> Windows - Marvin <br />   <br /> Be careful even with installers who have been certified in <br /> installing certain product lines. Certification <br /> does not necessarily mean they will actually execute a proper install. My <br /> regret is that Ralph was tied up back to back with large contracts when we <br /> realized we needed a major overhaul done at once. The contractor who was <br /> certified and who had a five star rating on  <br /> Home Advisor who installed the LP Smartside and Marvins was a nightmare. <br /> After three  months of nightmares, we <br /> checked the website for his ratings and they were no longer on the website. We <br /> had to force them to get the work done properly after showing them over 500 <br /> photos and documenting thoroughly things poorly done and destroyed. They backed <br /> out of painting our house when they realized to total cost of repairs would <br /> exceed $30K in which case a building permit is needed in Raleigh, NC. <br />   <br /> Fortunately Ralph?s painting contractor Jesus made up for <br /> our previous trauma and our house looks beautiful again. <br />   <br /> Ralph of Triangle Classic Homes is my go to contractor when <br /> he is not tied up with other major contracts. <br />   <br /> If you need piecemeal work done then it is likely you will <br /> need to hunt for a handyman who has good recommendations from people you have <br /> met face to face and not ratings on some website. <br />   <br /> A ratings website is a good start to narrow down your <br /> choices but ideally should be followed up with your own personal contacts face <br /> to face, phone calls, emails, etc with people whose judgment you already trust. <br /> Review is copy/pasted from Ms Word 2007 document. <br />"

"We had a few pieces of damaged vinyl siding on our home. After researching top rated contractors, I contacted Pollard Home Remodelling based on their positive reviews. I worked directly with Mike, who did a great job sourcing the proper size, replacing the siding, and even painting the siding so it so it matched perfectly. While he was here, we talked about several other larger projects I have been considering, and he gave helpful guidance on what will be involved. Great communication, professional service, and quality work at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Pollard Home Remodelling if you need help with anything carpentry-related. I will be using his services again soon."

"The evaluation and repair went extremely well. Alexis had to open up three areas to assess the water damage. We knew one window had to be replaced but he uncovered some structural supports that were damaged and had to be replaced. He also had to completely rebuild the framing for one window and then he reinstalled that window as well as a second window so that the windows matched. He spent about two weeks slowly jacking up the house so he could take the weight off of the structural supports and then he replaced the damaged supports. He added some floor joists; had to remove, replace and repair sheetrock; as well as removing and replacing the wood molding in various places. He also mad some modifications to the roof of the sunroom so that the water damage problem would not recur. He did some of the work himself and had two employees that did the rest of the work. All of the work that was done was carried out professionally and carefully. When the crew was there, they worked diligently on each element of the repair. The bay window was the area that was the majority of the problem, and that area looks brand new after they completed the repairs. I would recommend B & D Remodeling to anyone looking to do repairs or remodeling. He and his crew first rate work on a challenging project and I thought his pricing seemed quite reasonable, especially considering that he could not see what the issues were until he began the repair. Alexis, Carlos and Mario were friendly throughout the process. Generally they were good about letting me know what time they planned to be at the house to work on the repairs. I am hoping to get them back to do some additional work for us in the near future."

Customers say: Quality work

"Did a beautiful job and it laid out perfect- was framed out spot on and trim work was perfect. The cutting of brick and re bricking was so good you couldn't tell where new brick was laid. Installed shutters and a header piece to dress it out. Clean up was great and guys and girl were professional and friendly. Easy to work with. Would recommend to any one for any remodel job. In fact next week they will replace some trim piece damaged in a storm"

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Carrboro, NC

Most tubs last an average of 20 years, or closer to 10 to 15 if they’re acrylic or fiberglass. If you’re seeing persistent leaks, cracks, stubborn stains, or mold that won’t scrub away, it’s time to start shopping for a replacement. Out-of-date features and visible water damage are other red flags. Swapping the tub now protects your bathroom from bigger (and pricier) repairs down the road.

You should install your tub in a location that complements your bathroom's layout, plumbing connections, and personal preferences. Consider placing it near existing plumbing to minimize installation costs. Many homeowners position their tubs to take advantage of natural light or scenic outdoor views, enhancing relaxation. 

Ensure there's sufficient space around the tub for easy access and safety, especially if accessibility is a concern. Ultimately, the ideal spot is where the tub fits seamlessly with your bathroom design and provides the most comfort and convenience for your needs.

Replacing a bathtub takes just one or two days if you hire a pro to handle the job. They'll remove the old tub and install the new one efficiently. If you're considering doing it yourself, be prepared for it to take much longer, possibly up to a month. That's because you'll need to remove the old tub and drywall, install the new tub, repair the walls, and maybe tackle new tiling. Weigh the time commitment against potential cost savings to decide what's best for you.

Converting your tub to a shower transforms your bathroom with a modern and accessible design. The average cost to convert a tub to a shower ranges from $2,000 to $10,500, based on the required plumbing, tiling, and structural modifications. This upgrade maximizes space while boosting functionality and aesthetics in your bathroom.
