Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a bathroom remodel take?
With a Yankee Home bath system, you can have your tub or shower completed in as little as ONE DAY!

You’ll have access to hundreds of in-stock products, getting you scheduled for installation faster than anyone else in the area!
How much does a shower remodel cost?
The cost can vary widely depending on the size of your shower, the materials you choose, plumbing needs and labor. To give you an exact price, we offer a free design consultation where you’ll go over all the design options and have measurements taken of your space. Your quote will be accurate for your home, and it’s good for a full year, protected from inflation!
Can I remodel my bathroom if I have a limited budget?
Absolutely! There are budget-friendly options available, and you can take advantage of discounts on our in-stock products. Plus, with our financing options, you can complete your project now and make affordable monthly payments to fit your budget.
How can I make my shower more accessible?
If you’re looking to make your shower more accessible, a tub-to-shower conversion could be the perfect solution. You can replace your old tub with a new, low-threshold walk-in shower. Plus, you can add features like grab bars or custom bench seats to increase safety and comfort.
How do I prevent mold and mildew in my shower to keep it clean?
The acrylic wall systems offered at Yankee Home are mold and mildew resistant, making it easy for you to keep your shower clean with minimal effort.
I really want a tile surround, why should I explore acrylic options?
Acrylic options can replicate the look and feel of tile, without the hassle of re-grouting or worrying about tiles falling. During your free consultation, you’ll get to see samples that show how acrylic baths can be just as beautiful, last longer, and are much easier for you to maintain than conventional tile.
Do I need a permit for a shower remodel?
Whether or not you need a permit depends on where you live and the extent of the construction. Cosmetic changes usually don’t require permits, but structural or plumbing changes might. If a permit is needed, you’ll know upfront how long the process will take, and all of the paperwork will be handled for you.
Can you redo the whole bathroom?
By focusing on just the tub and shower area, you can save time and money. Contractors who take on the entire bathroom often sub-contract the work, which can increase both the timeline and the cost. By narrowing the scope, you can get the job done quickly—in as little as one day—and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a double lifetime warranty.
