How much does a shower remodel cost?
We know that this is what you really want to know. Costs vary widely depending on the size of the shower, materials chosen, and labor costs. We offer a free design consultation where we can go over all of the style choices and take measurements of your space to determine the exact price for your design in your home. This quote is good for a full year and inflation proof!
Can I remodel my bathroom if I have a limited budget?
Yes, we have budget-friendly options and discounts for our in-stock products. We also offer financing options that can help you complete your project now and make affordable monthly payments.
How can I make my shower more accessible?
At Yankee Home we specialize in tub to shower conversions. With this process, we remove your old tub, down to the studs, and replace is with a new, low threshold, walk-in-shower. You can also opt for features like grab bars or custom bench seats to add additional safety.
How do I prevent mold and mildew in my shower to keep it clean?
Our acrylic wall systems are mold and mildew resistant making them easy to keep clean!
I really want a tile surround, why should I explore acrylic options?
Our acrylic options replicate the look and feel of tile, with no worry of re-grouting or falling tiles. During your free consultation our designer will bring samples to show you how our baths tend to be just as beautiful, longer lasting and are incredibly easy to maintain.
Do I need a permit for a shower remodel?
Depending on the city/town you live in and how much construction is involved in your project, it may require us to pull a permit. We will let you know if it is required and how long you can expect that process to take. We will complete all of the permit paperwork for you as well.
Can you redo the whole bathroom?
It depends on your local building codes and the extent of the remodel. Cosmetic changes typically don’t require permits, but structural changes or plumbing alterations might.
