Your Are Just Four Steps Away From The Perfect Tub to Shower Conversion
We begin by sitting down with you, in person or virtually, to truly understand your vision, priorities, and budget for your tub to shower conversion project. This collaborative conversation is the essential first step in transforming your ideas into a feasible and exciting plan.
You will receive a clear, detailed written proposal that outlines the scope of work, timeline, investment, and material selections for your tub to shower conversion project. We believe in no surprises, so we take the time to explain everything, from permits to materials, and answer all your questions before we begin.
Our seasoned team manages your project from start to finish with meticulous care, maintaining a clean, organized worksite daily. You'll receive regular progress updates, including photos when helpful, so you're always informed and confident.
We walk through the finished project with you to ensure every detail meets our high standards and your complete satisfaction. Your approval is what truly completes our work, and we consider the job finished only when you are delighted.
Q: How long does a tub-to-shower conversion typically take?
A: Most of our conversions are completed in 3 to 5 business days. We work efficiently to minimize the downtime of your bathroom, ensuring that the demolition, plumbing upgrades, and tiling are handled with precision and speed.
Q: Do I need a building permit for this project in Miami-Dade?
A: Yes. Because a tub-to-shower conversion involves changing the plumbing footprint—specifically increasing the drain size from 1.5″ to 2″ to meet Florida Building Code—a permit is required. As your general contractor, we manage all paperwork and inspections with your local building department.
Q: Is a walk-in shower safer for seniors?
A: Definitely. Removing the high “step-over” wall of a bathtub is the single most effective way to prevent falls in the bathroom. We can further enhance safety with low-profile curbs, slip-resistant flooring, and designer grab bars that match your hardware.
Q: Will removing my only bathtub hurt my resale value?
A: Real estate experts generally suggest keeping at least one bathtub in the house for families with small children. However, if you have multiple bathrooms, replacing a rarely used tub with a luxury walk-in shower is considered a major upgrade that increases the appeal of your master suite to modern buyers.
Q: How do you prevent leaks and mold in a new shower?
A: Miami’s humidity is tough on bathrooms. We use professional-grade waterproofing membranes (like Schluter-Kerdi) behind your tile. This system acts as a literal vault, keeping moisture out of your wall studs and preventing the mold growth that is so common in older South Florida homes.
Q1: How do I choose the right materials for a bathroom to prevent mold and water damage?
A: Selecting water-resistant materials is critical in our humid climate. We recommend porcelain or ceramic tile, waterproof backer boards (like those from Schluter Systems), and mold-resistant drywall. Proper installation and sealing are just as important as material choice.
Q2: What are the key considerations for a bathroom designed for accessibility or aging in place?
A: This focuses on safety and ease of use. Key features include a curbless shower, grab bars, a comfort-height toilet, and lever-style faucets. These designs should comply with guidelines from the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), even for residential projects, to ensure safety and comfort.
Q3: What should I know about installing a new shower or converting a tub to a shower?
A: A successful installation is built on a perfectly waterproof foundation. We use industry-leading waterproofing systems to prevent leaks. For conversions, we assess the existing plumbing layout and ensure the new shower meets current codes. The Tile Council of North America (TCNA) provides detailed methods for shower assembly that we follow.
Q4: How can I make my bathroom more water-efficient?
A: Look for WaterSense-labeled fixtures from the EPA, which include toilets, showerheads, and faucets that use less water without sacrificing performance. Upgrading to these fixtures can significantly reduce your water usage and utility bills.
Q5: How do I ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture problems?
A: A correctly sized exhaust fan that vents directly outside is non-negotiable. It should run during and for 20+ minutes after showers. The Home Ventilating Institute (HVI) certifies fan performance. We ensure your new bathroom has adequate ventilation to protect your investment.
Q6: What design trends or layouts work best for guest bathrooms vs. primary suites?
A: Guest baths prioritize clean, timeless finishes and functionality for visitors. Primary suites are an opportunity for personal luxury, with spa-like features such as large format tile, freestanding tubs, and smart toilets. For layout efficiency, we reference best practices from the National Kitchen & Bath Association (NKBA).
