Whirlpool Tub Refinishing
Whirlpool Tubs are a great amenity to have. Many, however, can be a dated color, or have lost their luster over the years. Because of the size of the tub, the plumbing components underneath and the fact that most are surrounded by intricate tile work; replacement is a very large and expensive undertaking.

Bathtub Shower/Shower Stall Refinishing
Bathtub/Shower stall combo units are very popular throughout the country. These units originally required less labor and material when installed new; compared to older cast iron tub models with ceramic tile surrounds.
These units still pose many of the same issues surrounding heavier cast iron bathtubs and steel model tubs when replacement is being considered. They are generally integrated into the surrounding drywall, and require the efforts of many tradesman to carry out the removal and replacement process. Typically; carpenters, drywallers, plumbers, tile setters and demolition contractors are used to carry out this method.
