Oakland County covers the widest range of bathroom sizes we work in. A Royal Oak or Ferndale bungalow from the 1920s has a bathroom closer to what you'd find in Wayne County; a Rochester Hills, West Bloomfield or Bloomfield Township primary suite built in the 1990s or 2000s often has an oversized corner garden tub that hasn't held water in years. Those are two different installations, and we quote them differently.
In the older, smaller Oakland County bathrooms — Royal Oak, Ferndale, Berkley, Clawson, Hazel Park, Pleasant Ridge — the same space-conscious inward-swing stainless steel Ella models that work in Wayne County tend to fit best. In the larger newer construction across Rochester Hills, Novi, West Bloomfield, Bloomfield Township and Auburn Hills, homeowners usually have the floor space for a wider outward-swing U-shape door, a two-seat model, or a Lay Down tub that lets you actually recline — options that a cramped older bathroom simply can't accommodate.
The corner garden tub is worth calling out specifically, because it's common across newer Oakland County subdivisions and it's rarely used the way it was sold. It's deep, awkward to get in and out of even for someone without mobility concerns, and it takes a long time to fill. Replacing it with a walk-in tub sized to the same footprint is one of the more straightforward jobs we do — the plumbing rough-in is usually already close to where it needs to be.
If the tub you're replacing is a builder-grade garden tub in a primary bathroom, that's typically a one-to-two day job: the old tub comes out, the new Ella tub is set into roughly the same footprint, plumbing and electrical are connected, and the surround is fitted. Because the drain and supply lines are usually already close to where the new tub needs them, these installs tend to go faster than a full alcove conversion in an older home.
