Walk-in Shower Installation Commack
More Space, Better Safety, Zero Maintenance Headaches
Your mornings get easier when you’re not climbing over a tub wall you never use for actual baths. A walk-in shower gives you 40% more room to move around. No more white-knuckling it every time you step in.
The slip-and-fall risk that keeps you up at night? Gone. The endless scrubbing of grout lines and mildew corners you can barely reach? Also gone. Your new shower stays cleaner with basic maintenance, looks like something from a modern spa, and works for everyone from grandkids to grandparents.
Best part: this transformation happens in your existing bathroom footprint. No gut job, no months of chaos, no contractors camping in your house.
Custom Shower Doors Commack NY
We Actually Show Up When We Say We Will
We’ve been serving Commack families for over 20 years from our same Long Island location. We’re not some fly-by-night operation that disappears after installation.
We specialize in custom glass work. That means your shower doors get measured precisely for your exact opening and built to last decades, not years. While other companies rush through cookie-cutter installations, we take the time to get every detail right.
Ask any Commack homeowner who’s worked with us—we’re the contractor who shows up Tuesday at 10am when we say Tuesday at 10am. Not “sometime between 8 and 5” three days later like everyone else.
Bathtub Replacement Process Commack
Straightforward Process, Professional Results Every Time
We start with precise measurements at your home and discuss exactly what you want. No guesswork, no “we’ll figure it out when we get there.” We examine your plumbing, assess your space, and design the right solution for your family’s needs.

Finally, we install your new shower base, wall surrounds, and custom glass doors. Everything gets sealed properly, tested thoroughly, and cleaned completely before we pack up. You’re using your new shower that same day, and we follow up to make sure it’s performing perfectly.

Bathroom Remodeling Commack NY
What's Included in Every Conversion
Every tub to shower conversion includes professional removal of your existing bathtub, all necessary plumbing modifications, installation of a slip-resistant shower base, and durable wall surrounds that won’t chip, fade, or grow mildew over time.
Your custom glass shower doors are measured and manufactured specifically for your opening. We don’t use “standard sizes” that almost fit. Every door uses tempered safety glass with quality hardware that operates smoothly for decades.
In Commack’s established neighborhoods, we often encounter original 1960s plumbing that benefits from updates during conversion. We upgrade old galvanized pipes when needed and improve ventilation to prevent future moisture problems. All work meets Suffolk County building requirements, and we handle permits when necessary.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in Commack?
Most conversions are completed in one to two days, depending on your plumbing situation and custom glass requirements.
Day one typically covers removing the old tub, making plumbing adjustments, and installing your new shower base and walls. Day two is when we install and test your custom glass doors. If your plumbing is straightforward and doesn’t need major updates, we often complete everything in a single day.
We give you a realistic timeline upfront based on what we see during our initial visit. No surprises, no dragging the job out for weeks while you live without a shower.
Will converting my tub to shower hurt my home's resale value?
Just the opposite. Bathroom improvements typically return about 60% of their cost in increased home value, and walk-in showers are particularly appealing to today’s buyers.
In Commack’s mature housing market, where many homes still have original 1960s bathrooms, a modern walk-in shower helps your property stand out. Buyers actively look for accessible, low-maintenance bathrooms—especially those planning to age in place.
The safety and convenience factors make your home marketable to a broader range of potential buyers, from young families wanting quick morning routines to older adults who need easier bathroom access.
What happens to my plumbing during a bathtub replacement?
We modify your existing plumbing to work with the new shower configuration, which usually means adjusting drain location and updating shower valve position for optimal performance.
Most Commack homes have adequate water pressure for a great shower experience, but we test everything during installation to ensure proper flow. If your home has older galvanized pipes, we’ll recommend upgrades that improve performance without pressuring you into unnecessary work.
All plumbing modifications are included in our conversion price. No surprise charges for “unexpected” issues that any experienced contractor should anticipate from the start.
Are walk-in showers really safer than bathtubs for seniors?
Absolutely. Eliminating that 18-inch step over a tub wall removes the biggest bathroom injury risk for anyone with mobility concerns or balance issues.
Walk-in showers can include grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and built-in seating when needed. The low or zero threshold entry means no dangerous step-over, and the open design makes it easier for caregivers to assist if necessary.
For Commack residents planning to age in place, a walk-in shower conversion is often the single most important home modification for maintaining independence and safety in your own home.
Do you handle permits and inspections for shower conversions in Commack?
Yes, we handle all necessary permits and coordinate inspections as required by Suffolk County and Commack building codes.
Most tub to shower conversions don’t require permits since we’re working within the existing footprint using existing plumbing connections. However, if electrical work is needed for new lighting or ventilation, or if structural changes are required, permits may be necessary.
We know the local requirements and take care of all the paperwork so you don’t have to deal with town hall visits or inspection scheduling headaches.
What kind of maintenance does a walk-in shower require compared to my old bathtub?
Walk-in showers require significantly less maintenance than traditional bathtubs, especially with modern materials and proper installation techniques.
The acrylic wall surrounds we install don’t have grout lines to scrub or reseal every year. They resist mildew and soap scum buildup, so regular cleaning with standard bathroom cleaners keeps them looking new. Your custom glass doors need occasional squeegee use to prevent water spots, but that’s the extent of it.
Compare this to your old bathtub with tile surrounds, where you’re constantly scrubbing grout, fighting mildew, and dealing with caulk that needs replacement every couple years. The maintenance difference alone makes conversion worthwhile for most homeowners.
