Permit worries before you turn a shower into a tub?
What to ask, and who to ask, about permits for a shower-to-tub conversion in Sanford, FL.
The last thing you want is a project held up by paperwork, or a permit question when a buyer looks at the house. Sanford is the county seat of Seminole County, and you can get this answered before a single tool comes out. It takes a couple of phone calls, not a lot of worry.
Permits come down to who signs off on work in your home. You can ask about them at your free design visit. Swapping a shower for a tub, or a tub for a shower, is the kind of job where it pays to ask first. A friend's story from Orlando may not match your street. Guessing is what causes trouble later.
The scope of the job helps you ask the right way. Only the shower or tub space changes. The old unit and its walls come out, and a tub with a new surround goes in. Installs take in as little as one day, and some take a second day, rarely. With a job that quick, you want the permit answer before the date is set, not after.
This week, call the city or county and describe the job in plain words. Then book a free design visit with Love Your Bath and ask the same question there, before anything is signed. Gary M. wrote that Marcel and Randy "went over what was in the contract," so read yours closely and ask about anything that is not clear. A short list of questions makes the visit easy.
Once you have your answer, the job can go on the calendar without a cloud over it. You know what was done, and you can explain it if you sell. Bath time comes back to the house, and the permit question becomes a note in your file instead of a worry.
What people in Sanford say
"Alec was our installer and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect project. Everything went perfectly. Thank you very much Love Your Bath"
"Love Your Bath are truly professional people from the salesman who came to my house, general manager and regional manager. Everyone I have talked to have been polite, kind and professional. Unfortunately due to my financial situation at this time I am not able to take advantage of their services and products. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to upgrade their bath to a walk-in shower. In the future when I am financially able to have this project done, I will be calling Love Your Bath."
"Marcel and Randy performed in a very professonal manner and went over what was in the contract. We are happy with the way they prepared the shower to be finished by the glass person. The work and surrounding areas were cleaned up to our satisfaction. I highly recommend them for any remodeling anyone needs done."
Other things people in Sanford ask
is it a good idea to convert a tub to a shower
Think about who uses the bathroom today and in the next few years. A walk-in shower is easier and safer to step into. A tub matters more to families with small children. If the home has another tub, converting one is rarely a problem. Our designer will talk it through with you before you decide.
shower to tub conversion cost
The cost depends on the space, the tub you choose and the wall surround style. We replace only what is needed, so it is far less than a full remodel. A designer measures at home and gives you a free, written quote.
