"Ok looking for someone to remodel our house was hard work. Look no further. We got so lucky to find Bay easy construction the most amazing company that took good care us. We had and old kitchen and two bathrooms that needed work. In addition, all the interior of the house was painted and the old popcorn ceiling was removed. We also upgraded the electric system in the house and installed a new paneling. During the process Ofer advised to change the flooring and we went from carpet to tile and it made a dramatic difference for the best. Ofer gave us a tempting price to get it done and we are so happy we decided to do this. All the work finished for less than two months. Yay! Construction can be painful but this was a very pleasant experience. Ofer and Bay Easy Construction is a responsive, quality company that is concerned with customer satisfaction. Everyone was professional and friendly, and I felt that they really listened to what I wanted to accomplish with my dreams. By the end they felt like family that took good care of us during this process I am grateful to them. The work they accomplished was modern clean and really good quality. We are very happy with the results."

"We contracted with One Man Show for various projects…fiberglass insulation, shower enclosure repair, shutter replace/repair and various other odd jobs. Jason was always helpful and communicative at every step along the way. His work was impeccable and we’ll definitely continue to enlist his services and his advice in the future."

"My review is already out there. I wanted to add that when Travis arrived, the garage area where he needed to work was cluttered and he helped my wife move the clutter. Also my wife did not know that our old water heater was missing earthquake straps so she had not mentioned this as part of the job. Travis did not have straps on Sunday but he returned on Monday early in the morning and installed the straps for only $20."

"We have a second home with a large cantilevered deck on the 3rd story.  It was a very difficult engineering job and Jason and I discussed how to approach replacing it from every angle possible.  We finally decided to completely remove it and replace it with a deck, of the exact same design, except supported from below.

It was a very difficult job but Jason, as usual, did a stellar job.  The deck is as solid as a rock, looks great and was done on time.  My family is ecstatic with the results.  I won't use another contractor for anything technical like this except Jason."

"Tyler was awesome and originally we thought we'd just need a faucet water hose to be looked at, but he discovered the real source of the issue and was able to fix that. He then discovered a few other things that had been/were leaking and took care of all of that in the time he was at the house. A very honest person, had high integrity, was polite and very professional. He was able to answer a lot of questions we had and made us feel confident in his abilities to get he job done right. I'd definitely hire again for any plumbing needs."

FAQs for bathtub installation and replacement projects in Santa Cruz, CA

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.
