How to keep your tub or shower job from going sideways
Bathroom remodeling mistakes to skip, with plain advice for homeowners in Cape Coral, FL.
Whether you live in the NW quadrant of Cape Coral or the SE, a bad remodel story travels fast. You do not want yours to be the next one people hear about. Here is what usually goes wrong with a tub or shower job, and how to keep it from happening in your home.
A tub or shower job goes sideways in a few predictable ways. It grows bigger than the problem. It gets split among separate trades who blame each other when something breaks. Or it uses materials that come with no real warranty. Any one of these can leave you with delays, a leak, or a phone call nobody returns. Each one is easy to spot early if you know to look for it.
Keep the job to the part that needs it. If that is the shower, replace the shower. The details then come down to the size and layout of your space, a shower or a bathtub, the base, the wall style and finish, the fixture finish, and extras such as a seat, shelves or grab bars. Those choices are also what the price depends on, so settle them before work begins.
This week, read reviews for the way crews behave, not just the stars. One review from Cape Coral, by Paul V. says his installer, Jodeci, "came on time, he called when he was on his way and cleaned up after every day that he was here." That is the bar. Love Your Bath's installers are mainly its own crew, so a single company is accountable from start to finish. Ask anyone else exactly who will be in your home.
When the job wraps up, the crew goes over every detail and activates the lifetime warranty right there, good for as long as you own the home. You end up with something like a Cape Coral shower from 2025, with Champagne walls in a random stone pattern and Oil Rubbed Bronze fixtures, and one company to call. The rest of your bathroom looks the same as it did before.
What people in Cape Coral say
"We are very pleased with the bathroom renovation done by Jodeci. This man did not even take a break for lunch and worked until 6 p.m. both nights he was here. Our renovation became more complicated due to the Cast iron bath tub and the age of our house. Jodeci didn't flinch just kept working. So glad we chose Love Your Bath"
"Just got my bathtub removed and walk in shower put in. It looks great, Tyler and Kevin did an excellent job. Very organized and professional. Would definitely recommend this company and these 2 team members to do the job."
"*** *. did a fantastic job from start to finish. Outstanding workmanship. I would recommend him to anyone. Very clean, very professional."
