Troy master baths almost always have both a tub and a shower. When the tub hasn't been filled in five years, it's just square footage waiting to become a better shower.

Troy's colonials typically have a master bath with a separate soaking tub and shower, and converting the unused tub into an oversized walk-in shower is the most requested job in the city.
1970s-90s colonials with large master suites. When we price a job in Troy, that's the first thing we ask about — not the finishes. A homeowner picking tile is choosing between options that differ by a few hundred dollars. Whether there's a cast iron tub sitting on a second floor is a difference of a full day's labor.
Homeowners in Troy 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.
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?

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.
