A New Tub Will Improve the Decoration Leaving an older bathtub in place during a remodel or renovation can create a real eyesore. Tubs that clash with new tile patterns, color schemes and fixtures may find property owners less than satisfied with the results of their bathroom renovation. Homeowners who choose not to replace their existing bathtub in an effort to keep remodeling costs as low as possible may be far less likely to enjoy the quality of results that only the most successful renovation projects are able to offer. Tubs Last 10 to 15 Years Replacing an older tub during a renovation can spare homeowners the added costs and inconvenience caused by maintenance issues. Quality bathtubs can last a decade or more, but those that have seen too many years can create no end of problem. Tubs that may develop cracks or leaks in the near future may pose a risk to drywall and other construction materials. Mold and mildew infestations caused by a leaking bathtub can likewise require considerable expense to address. Replacing a tub during bathroom remodeling projects offers a more convenient opportunity to eliminate many of the potential maintenance issues caused by older tubs. Larger Tubs Offer Greater Comfort Upgrading an older bathtub can provide superior comfort or the means to better utilize the existing space. The best installations may provide a number of benefits that can include:

  • Increased space and volume
  • Water jets and other advanced features
  • Corner-tubs and recessed installations that optimize bathroom space

Making due with an existing tub may leave Livonia MI property owners unable to enjoy the comfort and spacious layout that a remodeling project may create. The relatively small cost of replacing a tub that owners may be less than satisfied with can offer a superior return of investment.

Reviews

From start to finish Kurtis was a great company to work with. From the initial contact and design concept with Gregory Holster to the cabinet drop off team, the install team led by project manager Jeff Tuomi and the countertop company, the project was on time and all work was performed beyond expectations. This was greatly appreciated seeing as it was completed on December 23. All the people involved were professional and did an excellent job.

Shanna was our project consultant. Picking out cabinets along with counters can be somewhat overwhelming but her knowledge & experience helped us make the right decisions. Dylan & Juwan unloaded truck & Dylan check off ship ticket to make sure all boxes were accounted for. Courteous & pleasant to talk to…nice job of stacking everything neatly in our garage. We couldn't be more pleased with the service & so happy with our kitchen

We recently worked with Lauren on cabinetry for a master bathroom renovation. She was great to work on the design and selections. Lauren was efficient and responsive from cabinet selection through ordering. Our overall installation was smooth. We had some unforeseen circumstances impacting our ability to accept delivery of our cabinets on the initial agreed upon date. Kurtis was very accommodating in rescheduling delivery given our project challenges. We couldn't be happier with our cabinets for this project.

We had complete renovations to our kitchen and main bathroom. From start to finish, the design with Shanna was exactly what we asked for and Jeff stayed on top of the renovations, communicating each step of the way. Every worker was professional and the final product is elegant and functional. We were very happy with Kurtis and would choose Shanna and Jeff again.

We love our new kitchen! Kurtis Kitchen & Bath did an outstanding job, and Adrian at the Clarkston location was exceptional to work with—creative, patient, and really listened to what we wanted. The project was well-organized, and we went from demo to a fully functioning kitchen in just 30 days. Highly recommend!
