"Installation was quick. They did a great job installing the new shower and removing my old tub/shower Combo. They cleaned up the mess and were very careful with protecting my floors and walls. I'm very happy with their work."

"Beware of the sales pitch, they keep stacking on deductions if you sign that day.
On completion of the installation, the bathroom looks great, but there were problems due to previous owners hidden wall once the old tub was removed. My concerns were that the installer and myself had different goals. He wanted to complete the job and I wanted choices. I lost. When we ran into problems and I asked what my options were, his responses were always and quot;I haven't decided yet.and quot;
The wrong tub size was ordered because of the false wall and I asked, and quot;Well it's just a tub, can we put in the right size?and quot; Didn't happen, and no options were offered. Options I thought of later such as 1. stop installation and order the right size; or 2. push the tub back two inches and give more floor space. Instead, a false 2 inch plywood wall was built behind the tub.
Another problem was the tub itself. I order the 17 inch high model thinking I would have more depth from my old 15 inch tub. Not so. Beware of inside tub not being the same depth as outside tub due to support feet under the tub of aproximate 2 1/2 inches. A 17and quot; tub measure 13 1/2and quot; on the shallow side and 14 1/2and quot; on the drain side. Plus the drain hole drops the actual water depth to 10 1/2 inches at the deeper end. This was not pointed out to me before purchase. In my opinion this is a manufacture flaw. The installer helped my out by plugging the drain hole.
I had to search and purchase the new floor tile. I made the right choice and it looks georgous. It was a hard job installing it because the old sub-flooring needed to be removed to match the curve of the previous wall tiles. A lot of unexpected dust. After two days dry time, I applied a sealer. However there were cracks in the grout after two weeks. Ken came back and fixed it and I applied the sealer again.
The third problem I had was a squeaky wall. Apparently the acrylic wall by the head rest was not sealed properly and it sqeeks when I use the tub and rest my head. Ken came back and tried to fix it by inserting foam behind the tub but was not successful. At least it's not a visable defect.
All in all my advice would be take your time and explore other options. Maybe I could have chosen all tile walls instead of acrylic and paid the same price. Go to your tile store and ask their advice before you sign with anyone. They might have more options. However my bathroom looks great and it will serve me for many more years and it is a step-up from what I had."

Customers say: True professional

"Dave, once again, did a fantastic job. I live in a small old, old house and he tackled all the problems that come with working on a house that is tight on space and just plain crooked with ease. He's great at answering questions and trying to help you find solutions to problems that aren't even on his list of "to-dos". He doesn't just care about getting the job done he cares about the person or family in the home as if it was his own family. If you are looking to renovate a preexisting space, Diamondwood is your team."

"Everyone I have talked to or had the honor of meeting in this company have been wonderful people. The installers had my son running around trying to help, and my husband and I asking questions. They were polite, let my son watch (and follow on their heels) without getting irritated with him, answered all the questions we had to the best of their ability, were fast, professional, and interesting people to talk to. They worked through the weekend to make sure they completed our roof on time. They actually got done quicker than expected (even contending with winter weather) and it looks great! I would recommend this company to anyone, for any home improvement project."

"They were local. They were timely and very personable. I called them after midnight and I received a call back early the next morning. I had an in-depth conversation with the owner of the company who asked me questions about my problem, which I liked. They scheduled something for the next day. The person came out and fixed the problem and was gone. I think I would hire them again."

"I hired them to re-roof my home and in conversation I mentioned I need to have my asphalt driveway sealed, not even knowing they do this work too. They asked me if they could bid on the driveway project too. This all happened in a short timeframe and I was very impressed by their timeliness and quality of work. The owner came and inspected the roof after completion and asked me to look at it with him. We climbed up the ladder and he explained everything and answered my questions. I was thoroughly impressed and want to hire them again for additional work this summer."

"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'.

"I was happy from the minute I posted it on Angi and he was the quickest and first to respond. He came the next day looked at the job gave us a price the next day. We agreed on price and he put us on his schedule 2 weeks later. They showed up day one and worked hard in the heat, dirt, and we hardly heard a word out of them. I expected the job to take 2 weeks or more however in 4 days they were done. They did everything I asked of them and the work was great. Roland showed up with his daughter and crew they were all nice polite and I would definitely hire them again"

FAQs for shower installation and replacement projects in Houghton Lake, MI

Replacing your tub with a shower can modernize your bathroom and improve accessibility, often providing a high return on investment. However, if it's the only bathtub in your home, removing it may decrease resale value, as many buyers look for at least one bathtub. Consider your long-term plans and consult a real estate professional if resale value is a concern.

While showers cost slightly more to install than tubs, the overall expense depends on various factors such as materials, size, and features. A tub installation costs $2,400 to $8,800 on average, whereas showers average $2,000 to $9,400. Custom designs, luxury fixtures, or extensive plumbing work can increase costs for both options. It's important to assess your specific needs and budget when deciding between installing a shower or a tub.

Converting a tub to a shower generally takes between one and three days. The timeline depends on the complexity of the project, materials chosen, and whether plumbing modifications are necessary. Installing a standard prefabricated shower can be completed quickly, while custom tile work or extensive plumbing changes may extend the project's duration. Planning accordingly can help minimize disruptions during the conversion.

Converting a tub to a shower offers several benefits, including saving space and making your bathroom feel more open and modern. Showers improve accessibility, especially for those with mobility challenges, by eliminating the need to step over a high tub wall. Additionally, updating to a stylish shower can enhance your bathroom's aesthetic appeal and may increase your home's resale value if another tub is available elsewhere in the house.

Choosing between a shower stall and a custom shower depends on your budget and preferences. Prefabricated stalls are less expensive and faster to install but offer limited styles. Custom showers allow personalization of size, materials, and features but cost more and require professional installation. Evaluate your needs and budget to select the best option for your space.

If you’re converting a tub to a shower, you may want to consider remodeling your whole bathroom. The ROI on bathroom remodels is high (over 70%), so you can enjoy an upgraded bathroom while you live in your home and get your money back if you decide to sell later. The average cost to remodel a bathroom is around $6,600 to $16,600, so factor in this price range when you’re budgeting for your project.

Converting a tub to a shower alone isn't easy to DIY, so look for a bathroom remodeler near you if you decide to take on a larger bathroom remodel to ensure it's done correctly.
