Frequently Asked Questions

Does removing a bathtub hurt resale value?

It depends. A home should have at least one bathtub (especially with multiple bathrooms). Converting a second or third bathroom's tub to a walk-in shower actually increases value. A master bath walk-in shower is now preferred by most buyers over a tub.

How long does walk-in shower installation take?

Prefab/acrylic: 1-3 days. Custom tile: 5-10 days (including waterproofing cure time and grout drying). Allow extra time if plumbing needs to be moved.

Why does walk-in shower installation cost different in Winston-Salem than other cities?

Winston-Salem's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the diversified economy, varied climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The balanced labor market also influences competitive pricing.
