Customers say: True professional

"When I first contacted Andy, I could tell he was very personable.  He listened to what kind of work we were looking for and scheduled a time to come and take a look.  We showed him all of the things we wanted done and he said he would work up a quote for us.  The quote came to us later than he said but he was apologetic and courteous.  The quote contained almost everything we had discussed with a few minor exceptions.  I was sure to mention the misses and he added them quickly.  <br /> We decided to proceed with the work and told him up front that communication was very important to us as we never wanted to be surprised about when they would or wouldn't be working.  We would often communicate via telephone but it was nice that he was also open to texts.  I must say Andy did a very good job of keeping me updated about when they would work and during what time of day.  We have a dog and it was always important for us to know in advance when they would be working so we could put her in the basement.  He did just that and we never encountered any issues. <br /> As far as the work site, Andy's team did a nice job of keeping everything clean and back to normal at the end of each day.  We had had drywall work done prior by another individual and it was always a disaster with piles of dust but not Andy's team!  There were only traces of drywall dust after days when they would sand so we were very pleased.   <br /> I also appreciated his attention to detail and ability to make minor changes throughout the work.  We had a baseboard that didn't turn out as dark as we had wanted with the stain.  He was more than willing to re-stain it and re-install it so we were happy with it - which he did.  <br /> Overall we were very happy with the work performed by Scott's Home Renewal.  They were professional, timely, respectful and easy to work with.  I would definitely recommend their services and will use them again if needed in the future."

"I haven’t had my shower installed yet, but I was very impressed with the customer services and their warranty and demonstrated quality materials. I won’t get the install till October, but that gives me time to save up."

"West Shore Homes installed a new shower. They were so friendly and worked efficiently. I was expecting to have to clean up after they were done, but they did all of that for me. My new shower is beautiful and I am happy with the work that was done and each employee that I had contact with"

FAQs for shower installation and replacement projects in Melbourne, IA

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.
