FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long does it take to install a new bathtub or shower?
Most installations take 1–3 days, depending on the scope of work and complexity of plumbing. We plan each step to avoid delays, and our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your household during the installation process.
Can I convert my tub into a shower without redoing the entire bathroom?
Yes, we can convert your tub into a shower without a full remodel. We modify the plumbing layout and use materials that integrate well with your existing finishes, preserving the current aesthetic while enhancing bathroom functionality.
Do I need permits for bathtub or shower installations in Spirit Lake?
In most cases, plumbing modifications require permits. Our team manages the permitting process and ensures all installations meet building codes and inspection requirements, saving you time and avoiding potential compliance issues down the line.
What materials do you recommend for shower walls?
We commonly recommend ceramic tile, acrylic panels, or natural stone. These materials offer durability, mold resistance, and low maintenance. The final selection depends on your budget, style preferences, and the overall performance you're seeking.
How can I prevent mold and mildew in my shower?
Proper ventilation, moisture-resistant materials, and routine cleaning are essential. We also apply industry-grade sealants and waterproofing membranes during installation to prevent water penetration and mold growth in high-humidity environments.
Are walk-in tubs a good choice for seniors?
Absolutely. Walk-in tubs provide easier access, built-in seating, and safety features like grab bars and non-slip surfaces. They are a smart investment for long-term accessibility and aging-in-place planning for homeowners with mobility concerns.
Will hard water affect my shower fixtures?
Yes, hard water can lead to mineral deposits and reduced fixture lifespan. We recommend using scale-resistant fixtures and may suggest adding a water softener to protect your plumbing system and improve water quality throughout the home.
Can you replace my shower without replacing the plumbing?
If the existing plumbing is functional and up to code, we can install a new shower without disturbing it. We assess the condition of pipes and make targeted updates only where necessary to save time and cost.
