The steps
8 steps, start to finish
Every project is broken into the same 8 steps. Tap one to see what's in it.
Answer these before asking for quotes, so every contractor prices the same job.
To find out- Does the old fan actually vent outside?Look in the attic above the bathroom, or ask on the walk-through. A fan that blows into the attic causes mold.
- Is the floor under the tub solid?Old tubs often leak slowly. They'll only know when the tub comes out, so they keep a cushion for a subfloor patch.
- Do they need a permit?New plumbing and wiring usually need one. Rules for your area shows who to ask.
Already answered- Will a walk-in shower fit?Yes. It goes where the 5 ft tub is, about 60 by 32 inches.
- Curbless or a low curb?A low curb. Curbless means lowering the floor, which costs much more.
