In Canton the conversation is usually less about mobility and more about wasted space — a builder tub in the hall bath that hasn't held water in a decade.

1980s-2000s colonials and subdivisions. Canton's newer subdivisions typically have a guest bath with a builder-grade fiberglass tub-shower that nobody bathes in. Converting it to a full walk-in shower is one of the highest-return changes available in these homes.
People are often surprised that removal is the hard part rather than the installation. Anyone can glue up a wall panel. Getting a 350-pound cast iron tub out of a bathroom without wrecking the doorframe, the stair treads or the floor is the part that takes 18 years to learn.
Wayne County has the oldest housing stock we work in, and older homes hold surprises: galvanized supply lines that should be replaced while the wall is open, plaster that doesn't take a screw the way drywall does, and tile set directly into mortar beds rather than backer board.
None of that is a problem — it's just work that has to be anticipated. When a contractor quotes a Canton bathroom as though it were new construction, that's when the price changes halfway through. We price the house that's actually there.
If you're comparing quotes, ask the other companies two things: is the price fixed, and how many days will you be without a bathroom?

No. Every wall finish we install — printed acrylic, CNC-engraved acrylic, solid acrylic or tongue-and-groove vinyl tile — is grout-free, so there's nothing to scrub and nowhere for mildew to grow.
A cutout (from $1,550) leaves your existing tub in place and cuts a low step-through opening into its wall — done in a few hours. A full conversion (from $6,995) removes the tub entirely and replaces it with a walk-in shower, base and waterproof walls — done in about a day. Cutouts are the lower-cost fix; conversions are the more complete, longer-term one.
Yes, financing is available with approved credit for Canton homeowners, across all three services — cutouts, full conversions and walk-in tubs.
