"I highly recommend Bay State Bath. The installers did a fabulous job efficient ,respectful. When done they cleaned up the area and you would never know they had been here. If you’re thinking of installing a walk-in shower, do it now, you won’t regret it. I should’ve done it years ago."

"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."

"We were looking to replace a tub and fix a leak in our old house. Jeff came and inspected and gave us a very reasonable estimate. They replaced the tub and the tile contractors were great. We then thought we'd just throw in a change of toilet and that then revealed a serious flooring problem. We ended up remodeling the small bathroom and Jeff did a great job. He is honest and wants to make the customer happy."

"We hired John and his crew to refresh/remodel a kitchen and bathroom in our rental unit. Realistic estimates were provided and when unforeseen issues were discovered, sensible solutions were offered. The crew was superb from day one demolition through the final touches at the end of each project. The quality of workmanship was excellent. Details were not an afterthought; they truly put care and skill into the whole project."

"Joe managed our bathroom remodel and we are very pleased with both the process and the result. Joe brings years of experience which helped define the scope of the project. He is great at communicating details involved for each step, always responsive to any of our questions. The cost was very competitive and the workflow was efficient - there were no gaps in any of the phases of work. I highly recommend Joe for any remodeling project!"

"Liam just did the most spectacular job installing built-in shelving, benches, cubbies, and hooks that turned a formerly useless room into a storage mecca! Liam was timely, responsive, professional, and his work is of stellar quality. I even had another contractor who I had in the home comment on how exceptionally well-built the shelving units are. I'd highly recommend Liam for any job you might be considering."

"This was a BIG structural, challenging project that and the first significant renovation my husband and I have ever been involved with. I had worked with Pedro (principal of Crystal Construction) on a couple of small jobs previously. His work had been excellent and so we trusted him with this much more significant job. We didn't hire an architect because we were essentially keeping the same three-room layout that existed in the basement, but we did need a structural engineer that Pedro connected us with in order to remove two of the three posts that split up the basement's largest room, and replace it with a beam. Subcontractors hired by Pedro did the electrical work (significant, as it involved moving our panel, mentioned above), plumbing (also significant as we were adding a bathroom, and due to the existing plumbing we had to install a pump to move waste water from the shower and toilet to the waste pipe), and HVAC.
Pedro is terrific to work with. Aside from the VERY high-quality end product he delivers, really the greatest thing about him is he is incredibly responsive and communicative. We were in daily text or phone contact through out the summer (job ran from mid-June through mid-November) and I was never left wondering what was going on or where he was. With a job as large and long as this one, that's incredibly important and valuable. He's personable and very pleasant to deal with - again, really important when you are working with someone as closely as you are with your general contractor on a major project. There were a number of structural challenges involved in this project and we were able to work together very well to figure them out. There were very few added costs, none of them due to Pedro or his subs but rather previous (shoddy) work that had been done on the house. About a quarter of the way through the project we also decided that we wanted to remove the bulkhead - our own choice to add costs and time.
All Pedro's own employees and the subs he used were also extremely nice and easy to deal with. Everyone did a great job containing the mess and aside from the dumpster in our driveway and the building permit on the door, most of the time we wouldn't have known they were there. While much of this was due to the nature of the project - we hadn't used the basement for anything but storage previously and other areas of the house were largely unaffected - everyone was extremely courteous and considerate. I highly recommend Crystal Construction."

"Replaced a bow window and a patio slider. They accomplished it all in one day. They were clean, covered everything up when they were working so there was minimal dust. Vacuumed when they finished. Pleasant and professional. I highly recommend Rite Window."

"They were hired to replace some siding on the side of our house and repair the baseboards/shelving in our sunroom. They did an amazing job and even added in painting the room on top of what they were already doing."

FAQs for walk in tub installation and replacement projects in Melrose, MA

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.
