Franklin homes are one-offs. There's no standard measurement to work from, so we take our own.

Franklin Village's custom homes rarely share dimensions, so every conversion here is measured and built to the specific opening.
Housing here is largely custom homes on large lots, many mid-century, and that shapes everything about a conversion: how the tub comes out, what's behind the wall, and how long we're in your house. We've done enough Franklin bathrooms to know what we're walking into, which is why we quote a fixed price instead of an hourly rate that grows once the wall is open.
From $6,995

Remove the old bathtub entirely and replace it with a low-threshold walk-in shower — new base, new waterproof walls, new fixtures.
Keep your existing tub. We cut a low step-through opening in the wall of it and finish the edges with a molded insert.
A full Ella's Bubbles walk-in bathtub with a sealing door, molded seat, grab bars and optional hydrotherapy jets.
Starting prices, installed. Your fixed quote depends on alcove size, existing tub material and the finishes you choose. Financing available with approved credit.
A large share of Franklin homes have both a tub and a separate shower in the master bathroom. If you're in one of those, you already know the tub hasn't been filled in years — it's holding towels, or nothing at all.
That's the easiest conversion we do and the highest-value one. The footprint, the drain and the water supply are already there. Converting it gives you one large, genuinely usable shower instead of two compromised fixtures.

Most people never need an in-home visit. Send a wide shot of the bathroom and the alcove width.
In writing, before anything is ordered. That number doesn't move unless you change the scope.
Morning start, evening finish. You keep your bathroom the same night in most cases.
Silicone needs a day to fully set, so we say shower in it tomorrow morning.
If you're comparing quotes, ask the other companies two things: is the price fixed, and how many days will you be without a bathroom? Those two answers separate a conversion specialist from a general remodeler who also does bathrooms.

No. We work inside the existing tub footprint — the floor, vanity, toilet and rest of the room stay exactly as they are. Only the tub and the wall around it are opened up.
Someone needs to be home to let us in and to walk through the finished work with us, but you don't need to be present for the entire job.
