1920s Tudors and colonials in a historic district. Pleasant Ridge's historic-district status means exterior work is regulated, but interior bathroom conversions are straightforward — and preserving original tile is usually the owner's priority.
Every neighborhood in Metro Detroit has its own version of this problem, and Pleasant Ridge is specific enough that a contractor who mostly works elsewhere will misprice it. We've been in these bathrooms for 18 years.

Homeowners in Pleasant Ridge generally aren't looking for the cheapest possible fix, and we don't push one. The wall finish, the glass, whether there's a bench and a recessed niche — those choices are the difference between a bathroom that looks renovated and one that looks repaired.
We'll show you the range and tell you honestly where spending more actually shows and where it doesn't.

Small bathrooms are common in older Metro Detroit housing stock, and we carry custom-size shower bases for alcoves that aren't a standard 60 inches. Send a photo and the alcove width and we'll tell you what fits.
A cutout (from $1,550) leaves your existing tub in place and cuts a low step-through opening into its wall — done in a few hours. A full conversion (from $6,995) removes the tub entirely and replaces it with a walk-in shower, base and waterproof walls — done in about a day. Cutouts are the lower-cost fix; conversions are the more complete, longer-term one.
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.
Yes — cast iron is common in older Metro Detroit homes and we cut it down in place rather than trying to carry it out whole. It takes longer than fiberglass or steel, and we account for that in the quote.
