The First Shower Remodel Was Just The Beginning

Even with a contractor background, Charles had too much on his plate as a grandfather and a caretaker. He knew how to spot the pros, and after his initial consultation, he knew what to do. Then, after seeing the results of their first bathroom remodel, Charles picked up the phone and scheduled a consultation for their second bath.

"I didn't even have a second thought. I called them right
back up and said, 'I'm going to do the back bathroom."

That second project would come a few months later—but the story really begins with a worn-out tub, a tough decision, and a contractor who knew exactly what he was getting into. Let’s rewind…

Tub to Walk-In Shower Transformation!

Replacing an Old Bathtub That Had Outlived Its Usefulness

The first project began with a tub that was no longer practical—and no longer used. Years of wear had made it difficult to clean, and it no longer suited the family’s needs.

 

Mr. Piasecki, a former general contractor, had the skills to take on a tub conversion himself. But after years of doing it all, he decided it was time to bring in some help. He spotted a Yankee Home commercial and figured he’d at least make the call. A design consultant came out, explained everything clearly, and mapped out the full project with no pressure. Once the plan was in place, the installation crew got to work, carefully removing the old tub and transforming the space into a modern, walk-in shower.

"Doors closed great. Even when you close them, they don't slam
they just bounce off and come back. It's amazing how they put
shelves on... they stay perfect!
-Charles

Built to Last—and Easy to Maintain

Beyond the visual upgrade, one of the biggest improvements was how much easier the new shower was to keep clean. The old tub and tile walls required constant scrubbing, especially between the grout lines where dirt and soap scum would build up. It was a chore—time-consuming and tough on the back. With the new system installed by Yankee Home, those days were over.

 

The smooth, solid wall panels made wiping down the shower quick and simple. No grout lines. No mold. No harsh chemicals. Just a few swipes with a squeegee and a cloth, and it looked spotless.

 

Aside from the improved aesthetics and accessibility, what really stood out was the quality behind the walls. Yankee Home’s team reinforced the studs and installed extra support wherever hardware or shelves would be placed—something that Mr. Piasecki immediately noticed and appreciated. Those structural upgrades aren’t just about durability—they also help reduce the risk of slips, falls, and other bathroom-related injuries. And let’s face it—none of us are getting any younger. Even if properly installing grab bars or seating doesn’t feel essential now, it likely will before you know it.

Round Two: Back for a Second Bath Remodel

After the first bath conversion, it didn’t take long for the Piasecki’s to turn their attention to the second. This time, the job wasn’t a heavy tub removal, but a refreshing shower replacement with upgraded features, reinforced installation, and a clean, cohesive look to match their newly renovated space. And because he already knew what to expect—clear communication, reliable timelines, respectful crews—Mr. Piasecki didn’t think twice.

Two Bathroom Renovations & One Trusted Team

For the Piasecki family, it wasn’t just about updated bathrooms—it was about finding a company that delivered what they promised, respected their home, and made the process easy. 


"They were very responsive and very friendly. I'm very happy.
Happy with the guys and the whole crew. They don't mess around.
Everything they said would happen, happened. I just love it."
-Charles
