Tub to shower
Why the one-day version costs you later
The franchise pitch is a one-day conversion: an acrylic or composite liner set over the existing base and surround, sealed at the edges. It looks fine on day one. What it does not do is fix what is behind it — and in a house where the tub is being removed because of water damage, behind it is exactly the problem.
We do it as a small remodel. Tub out, old surround out, plumbing moved for a shower valve at the right height, floor framing checked for rot, then a proper waterproofing system — either a bonded sheet membrane or liquid-applied over cement board — flood-tested before a single tile goes on. That test is the difference between a shower that lasts twenty years and one that quietly rots the joists.
Most conversions run one to two weeks and cost meaningfully less than a full bathroom remodel, because the vanity, toilet and flooring usually stay. If the bathroom is your only one, we sequence the work so you have a usable toilet and sink for all but a day or two.
Good reasons to convert
A conversion makes sense when
- Nobody in the house has used the tub in years
- Stepping over a tub wall has become a fall risk
- The surround is cracked, stained or leaking
- You have another tub elsewhere in the house
- You want a curbless or low-threshold entry for ageing in place
- The bathroom is small and the tub eats the floor space

Financing
A new roof is a monthly number, not a lump sum
Most homeowners replace a roof once. Paying for it in one go is the part that stalls the decision, so we quote the monthly figure alongside the total and let you decide which one you're solving for.
Rates and terms come from our lending partner, we publish the real numbers once you've seen the estimate, never a teaser rate.
Typical replacement
$180–$320/mo
Range shown for common Greater Baton Rouge roof sizes with approved credit. Your estimate carries your actual figure, your term and your rate.
Financing terms subject to credit approval. Your rate, term and monthly figure are shown in writing on your estimate before you commit to anything.
Reviews
What customers actually say
Each review is tagged with the work we did and the city we did it in.
"I can not say enough good about them! They exude top tier service excellence and absolute professionalism!

The wedge
Doing the whole bathroom instead?
If the vanity, toilet and floor are also tired, a full remodel is usually better value than converting now and redoing it in three years.

Questions
Answers before you call
One to two weeks for most bathrooms. The waterproofing and tile stages need cure time that cannot be rushed — anyone promising one day is installing a liner, not building a shower.
