"I would highly recommend V&S Tile. They were amazing! Everything from the estimate from Steve to completion was so easy! They did a wonderful job in my laundry room, totally transforming the space. They worked efficiently from beginning to end with anttention to detail. They also cleaned up when they left and took away all the boxes and trash. Everything was done in a respectful and kind manner too. Top notch crew. Would definitely hire them again!"

"One of the things that really sold me on 5 star was that the warranty stats with the house do if I were to sell..extra bonus. I'm new to a wheelchair and the old bathtub wasn't cutting it. This new shower works perfectly and safely. I went for 3 grab bars..I also got 6 shelves for plenty of storage. The workmen who came were amazing. They were respectful of my property but I have inside animals and they were respectful of them as well. I tried to keep them coralled up in a room but 1 got loose and they were great at watching when they went in and out. I hot 2 estimates and this was only a tiny bit more expensive but the lifetime warranty sealed the deal"

"Bob Topolski answered our call at a short amount of time. We asked if he could fix the siding that pulled up due to heavy winds in the area. Bob was great at the time he spent working on the problem that we had. He was very informative about how easy it is to pop the siding back into place. So we would not have to spend time for waiting for someone from the office. We thought that was really nice of him to do this. We did not realize how easy it was to pop them back into place. Thank you"

FAQs for shower installation and replacement projects in Schenectady, NY

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.
