Our experienced team of professionals take the time to ensure that each job is completed with customer satisfaction in mind. We strive to treat your home with the care and concern we would our own.

"Homes Reimagined just completed a kitchen remodel for me, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, Forrest and Allen were a pleasure to work with. They were professional, skilled, and communicative throughout the entire project. The team at Homes Reimagined took my outdated kitchen and transformed it into a spacious, modern space that is now the centerpiece of my home. They listened to my ideas and incorporated them into the design, while also offering their own suggestions and expertise to make the final result even better than I could have imagined. Forrest and Allen were always on time, kept the job site clean, and made sure to keep me informed about the progress of the project. They worked efficiently and were always willing to answer any questions I had along the way. The attention to detail in their work is great, from the custom cabinetry to the beautiful countertops. The finished product is not only visually stunning, but also highly functional and practical for my family's needs. I highly recommend Homes Reimagined and the team of Forrest and Allen for any remodeling projects."

We specialize in all types of remodeling, with expertise in room additions, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and custom patios and porches. No project is too big or too small! If you're looking for superb Houston remodelers, we've got you covered! We provide free estimates and design work for our customers. Our prices are competitive and we will bend over backwards to make the project a reality for you.

Unlike other contracting companies we do not bid out your job to the lowest bidder, we continue to use our same people job after job. This translates into a worry free project for you and us. The owner, J.R Smith is the recipient of two NARI Contractor Of The Year awards while he was contracted out to a well known remodeling company in Houston. These projects competed against many other beautiful projects in the area. Unlike some of the other contractors out there who refuse to break out the job costs on a project, H-Towne Remodelers does not use "smoke and mirrors" with our estimates. We detail the job in full and attach a price to each item. This transparency wins us many bids because we truly put the cards on the table. H-Towne Remodelers has no desire to be the largest remodeling company around. We believe in quality not quantity.

Many "production" remodelers pride themselves on how many jobs they can blow through, we like to enjoy the process of transforming our clients home with attention to detail. Having said that, we have very little dead time on our jobs, we stay on top of them daily. We normally accomplish around one thousand dollars of production daily on jobs under $30,000. That amount normally increases to closer to $1500.00 per day of production on bigger jobs. During the job we are always reachable, our sales staff have smart phones so they can be reached anytime either through phone calls, emails or text messages. We also like to keep our customers informed during the projects by those methods also. You can check us out at H-Towneremodelers.com we would love the opportunity to look at your project.

"Having heard about H Towne and Around from a couple of Facebook groups, we reached out to JR initially to renovate our garage interior. While they were completing the project we enquired about extensive renovations on the house. This would include removing half of a double staircase, building a second floor office into the entranceway and splitting an existing Jack and Jill bathroom into two new ones. JR was easy to get along with, very pragmatic from the get-go and great at explaining pros & cons of various layouts. He also helped us organize the project into convenient phases, allowing us space to live in while other areas were under construction. JR’s team, which included Chemo, Mitchel & William (and many more) were excellent to work with. All of them were highly skilled, experienced, hard-working and good humored guys. The team were very professional, cleaning up each day and screening off sections of the house so family life could continue somewhat normally. (This Mom of two little ones and a dog sure appreciated that!). It was a joy to watch the craftmanship unfold: bespoke cabinetry, herringbone wood floors, precision tiling, floating vanities, wooden accent walls and new purpose-built spaces created. They took on board all our ideas and gave us the house we dreamed of. Cannot thank you all enough and we would highly recommend anyone to work with HTowne and Around!"

"PAR Construction is the gold standard in my view, and I cannot recommend their services highly enough. To quickly summarize - I hired PAR construction, and you should too! PAR Construction transformed a confusing and inefficient floor layout in our 100-year-old house into a beautiful space that makes sense for our family. They completed the project on a reasonable timeline, despite a week of no electricity (thanks, Beryl), and the usual surprises that come into play when renovating an old house. We could not be more pleased with PAR Construction and highly recommend them to anyone looking for high-end renovation/construction work! Now, for more details: We hired PAR Construction to remodel our upstairs bedrooms/closets to provide a room for our three young kids. We interviewed a number of construction companies and ultimately hired PAR Construction because of their demonstrated track record of quality and communication. They delivered in every way, and then some! As soon as we put the initial deposit down, Adam and team submitted the plans for permitting approval, which can take some time. We were provided regular updates throughout the permitting process and Adam and team responded quickly to any follow-up requests from the folks at the permitting authorities. As soon as we got the all clear from permitting, Adam and his team (shout out to my guys Gabriel, Raph and Felix – miss y’all!) sprang into action and began work right away. They came and worked every weekday, and regularly on Saturdays as needed. They were kind, courteous and diligent in carrying out the project. It can certainly be awkward to have a group of seemingly random people in your house on a daily basis, but the PAR Construction team did a great job minimizing disruption and were mindful of keeping our home as orderly as possible. It got to the point that I looked forward to chatting with the team every morning before work and catching up at the end of the day. We had a great experience with each member of the PAR Construction team and I am confident in saying it doesn’t get any better than them! PAR Construction is not cheap, but the cost is excellent value for their top notch work. Like any construction project, there were some additional costs that came up as the project carried on (i.e., moving some 100 year old cast iron pipes that we didn’t know existed in order to make room for a new beam, etc.), but any potential added costs were communicated on a timely basis and we were given the option to accept or decline the updated work/cost. The original bid/scope of the project was meticulously laid out and PAR Construction stayed true to the cost of the original plans. As noted above, the perils of Hurricane Beryl tried to interrupt the progress on our home, but the PAR Construction team didn’t let that stop them. Even though we were without electricity for over a week, the team showed up every day and continued working to keep the project on schedule. In addition, we had a leak develop in a downstairs side room during the hurricane, and the PAR Construction team helped address the leak and replace/repair the components of the ceiling as needed. I am very thankful we had Adam and team to help address the issue promptly, before it turned into a bigger issue! Sure, you might find other companies that will give you cheaper bids for your project, but I am confident that PAR Construction will blow them out of the water in terms of quality of work and value for your money! Adam is an honest and genuinely kind person, and those qualities were extremely important to me in deciding to hire his team for work on our family home. My family and I are very pleased with the outcome of our project and look forward to hiring PAR Construction for additional work in the future."

FAQs for walk in tub installation and replacement projects in Houston, TX

Because Medicare classifies walk-in tubs as non-durable medical equipment, it generally won’t pick up the tab. Medicaid can help if a doctor certifies that the tub is medically necessary, but rules change by state. Call your plan early, ask which forms you need, and keep any prescriptions or letters on file to improve your odds of reimbursement.

A walk-in bathtub’s fill and drain times hinge on your home’s water pressure and the tub’s hardware. Most models with a fast-fill faucet need about six to eight minutes to fill and two to three minutes to drain; larger basins or standard drains can tack on an extra 10 minutes. Stay seated until the water is completely gone so you don’t swing the door open on a full tub’s worth of water.

A walk-in bathtub holds 50 gallons of water, and its design supports capacities that range from 40 to 80 gallons, depending on the product. In contrast, a standard bathtub holds 25 to 45 gallons. This capacity is determined by the fixed design of the tub and its construction materials. Homeowners should review the detailed product specifications to confirm the exact volume available for use during bath time.

Walk-in tubs are tax-deductible when the purchase qualifies as a necessary medical expense and meets the IRS criteria. Caregivers who install a walk-in tub also qualify for the Dependent Care Tax Credit under specific conditions. Homeowners must verify these requirements with the IRS and consult a tax professional, as state and program guidelines enforce strict documentation standards for such deductions.

From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
