"I decided to turn my bathtub into a walk-in-shower and started doing research on the process and companies that provide that service. I had four different companies come out, and one I cancelled after reading their reviews, they were in the low 3s. I chose Premier Home Pros to do the work, I read their reviews and they were good. This is a new company to Michigan but most of the reviews I read were from Ohio. I got lucky enough to have Eric install the shower for me and I couldn’t be happier. Eric showed up on time and never stopped working. Eric worked on my home like it was his own home. He communicated with me what was going on and very neat. I am getting new flooring and told Eric that he didn’t have to put anything down because the carpet is going anyway, but he still did. I sure hope that Premier Home Pros realize how valuable Eric is to the company and how lucky they are to have him. Eric should train all the new employees, not only on the process, but on work"

"Matthew installed an RO water system in our house for us. He also installed a rain shower in our master bathroom. He has been the only person I've trusted with all of my plumbing needs. He's incredibly professional, and efficient. It is clear he is the best in his field, and I would highly recommend him for all of your future plumbing needs! Thank you for everything Matthew!"

"Beware of the sales pitch, they keep stacking on deductions if you sign that day. <br /> 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; <br /> 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. <br /> 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. <br /> 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. <br /> 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. <br /> 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."

"They were professional, honest, and friendly.  They came when they said they'd come, and took less time, which meant the project was less costly than originally estimated.  They were honest about how to repair the problem, without replacing siding that didn't need replaced.   <br /> Doug came highly recommended by the crew at Sherwin Williams.  It is obvious why they speak so highly of him!  They were excellent, and we'll hire them again."

"Mark and his crew were amazing. Mark worked with me on the design and steered me towards a good option in siding and worked within our budget. I am beyond happy with how quickly they were able to fit us in and get the siding replaced. They even painted my garage doors (both were an ugly orange color from the previous owner) and replaced the glazing in the side garage winter to match the main house. I'm so excited about how everything turned out and I'm looking forward to this spring to add some landscaping to it! Thank you again!!!"

"Marsh contracting came in and took our 50+ year old bathroom and made it into a great, functional space. I wish I could explain the awfulness of the "before" situation they were facing. Tile and plaster 3 inches thick; square, heavy bathtub that need to be removed; galvanized steel pipes with years of corrosion blocking water flow. They had great suggestions for improvements and helped us stay within our budget while still taking care of the things that needed to be done. They were prompt and worked quickly; the only hiccup was on our side with a delivery issue, and they were able to work around it and keep the project rolling. Bob and his team were upfront with us on everything, and I felt that I had a clear idea of how the project was moving along, next steps, and the timeline for completion. Communication was never an issue, whether via email, phone, or text. And my super picky Father in Law has even complemented the great tile work!"

"I could not have been more pleased with the outcome. My kitchen use to be enclosed, making it, and the surrounding rooms, seem very small. However, once Morpho Carpentry opened it up by essentially taking half of two different walls down, the entire area feels so much more spacious. They also gave me more storage for me by adding lower cabinets and a breakfast bar (so I was able to get rid of my kitchen table) which provided even more space. I am so pleased with the work. Everyone that comes into my home always compliments my kitchen. Thank you Morpho for making my kitchen absolutely beautiful!!"

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Salem, MI

Most tubs last an average of 20 years, or closer to 10 to 15 if they’re acrylic or fiberglass. If you’re seeing persistent leaks, cracks, stubborn stains, or mold that won’t scrub away, it’s time to start shopping for a replacement. Out-of-date features and visible water damage are other red flags. Swapping the tub now protects your bathroom from bigger (and pricier) repairs down the road.

You should install your tub in a location that complements your bathroom's layout, plumbing connections, and personal preferences. Consider placing it near existing plumbing to minimize installation costs. Many homeowners position their tubs to take advantage of natural light or scenic outdoor views, enhancing relaxation. 

Ensure there's sufficient space around the tub for easy access and safety, especially if accessibility is a concern. Ultimately, the ideal spot is where the tub fits seamlessly with your bathroom design and provides the most comfort and convenience for your needs.

Replacing a bathtub takes just one or two days if you hire a pro to handle the job. They'll remove the old tub and install the new one efficiently. If you're considering doing it yourself, be prepared for it to take much longer, possibly up to a month. That's because you'll need to remove the old tub and drywall, install the new tub, repair the walls, and maybe tackle new tiling. Weigh the time commitment against potential cost savings to decide what's best for you.

Converting your tub to a shower transforms your bathroom with a modern and accessible design. The average cost to convert a tub to a shower ranges from $2,000 to $10,500, based on the required plumbing, tiling, and structural modifications. This upgrade maximizes space while boosting functionality and aesthetics in your bathroom.
