"ADHW was great to work with! I called two other contractors to get quotes, but it was clear that ADHW is knowledgeable, pays attention to detail, and knows how to do the job properly. I had several items in the contract including installing a new front door, tearing down a carport, insulating the house, gutters, and new Hardie siding with trim. One contractor I got an estimate from (who was supposed to be reputable) actually wanted to leave the old siding up and put the new siding on top of the old and his price was greater than ADHW's whole contract value for JUST the siding?!?!? Being a female, one thing I really liked about ADHW is that Mark (during estimating/contracting) and his construction team (Vadim, Mike, and the whole crew) never talked down to me or pulled any sales man type of tactics, which the other contractor did. The other contractor used lines like "if anyone tells you they can do it for less, they're lying..." and "are you sure you want to..." or "this is how you need to do...", which I find to be demeaning and condescending as an educated female that knows how to do her research, how to build things herself, and knows quality work. ADHW treated me as an equal and also treated me and my home with respect. Having done many home improvement projects on my own, I had many questions during the estimating process and some changes before we solidified the contract. Mark was great at getting back to me within a day or two and answered all of my questions in detail. They accommodated my changes without issue. As with any construction project, during construction there were a couple of snafus that arose. No matter how much you plan, this just always happens. However, the team was able to take care of everything by talking through things with me, answering my questions, and by resolving the task in a timely fashion. The crew worked fast and efficiently but also took the time to do the job right. Not having seen a siding project up close and being used to handling projects on my own, I had several moments where I was nervous because I wasn't sure of the process. If I mentioned something, Vadim would walk me through and tell me the next steps. And, in the end, all the final finishing touches like the caulking and trim painting just polished it all off. My house looks amazing and I get excited every time I come home. If I have to say one thing, which I feel is very minor and wasn't a biggie to me at all, was that there was just a couple of times where I didn't expect the crew/staff and they showed. I think once was just a miscommunication between the construction crew or I misunderstood and that was when the normal lead let me know he wouldn't be there on the Saturday so I didn't expect the crew, but the crew did come on the Saturday. To me, this just showed me that they're hard workers. The other time was when the alternate lead stopped by to rehang stuff without giving me a heads up. I was home, so it didn't bother me a"

"Excellent! I thought I needed a new thermostat since I wasn’t getting any heat. Juan came over , checked the circuit breaker and found that the breaker was worn out. He replaced the breaker and found that the thermostat was still functioning. He could have said that the thermostat needed replacing too but instead he just said you needed a new circuit breaker. I really appreciated the honesty. If he said I needed the thermostat too I would have paid for both thus increasing my bill. I just want to add a few more comments about the work that he’s done for me. I first met Juan when he came over to my house to stabilize a lose tile that was above my garage door. Then I showed him mold growing next to my shower door. He found a small crack that allowed water to seep into the sheet rock. He replaced the shower door and the sheet rock that was growing mold. Then I took him to the bathroom where I showed him a bulging floor board next to the toilet. He found a small crack in the toilet tank that slowly dripped water on to the backside of toilet dripping water onto the base board. He offered to repair the tank but I told him to go ahead and replace the toilet. I can’t say enough about Juan. Whatever the problem is he’ll figure out how to fix it. When he approaches a problem he approaches with a positive attitude. Another time my ceiling fan went out and I asked him to come out to see what the problem was. Instead over the phone he told me to check the remote control. I went on Amazon and ordered a new remote control . I placed in new batteries and the fan started working. He didn’t charge me anything for the advice. I was prepared to buy a new fan and all I needed was a new remote. Juan is multi talented. I’ve recommend him to my neighbor and he’s done a couple of projects for her (leaking roof). Lastly, in a couple of weeks he’s coming over to paint my front door and put a new latch on my side gate. I’m 77 years with an injured leg so fixing things around the house is difficult for me. Juan has made my life easier."

We will make sure we bring you creative solutions done perfectly right with the help of our experts. Let's talk today! -Building with Vision.

"We received quotes from 3 different contractors. We chose GAXL because it's close to Newark and I like how Jose explains everything in detail. Originally we thought the remodeling would take 4 weeks but it took close 6 weeks. The whole project was great, the craftsmanship was superb. At one point, we found some tiles that are not very nice (from the manufacturer) and we asked them to redo the bathroom wall. They don't complain and understand our request. The workers are great, especially Marvin and this other guy (forgot his name). They WORK very very hard from 8a to 6p everyday. Jose is on time and is very prompt in returning calls or text. In fact he's the only contractor who's very prompt and I like that! On one of the walls they discovered a mold due to rain leaking and they're able to fix it in 4 days which is great. Jose and his son pickup the materials from the suppliers and drop them in our house. Overall, Jose and his men are courteous. I will definitely use GAXL for future remodeling."

FAQs for shower installation and replacement projects in Richmond, CA

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.
