No, Shugarman’s Bath does not do full bathroom remodels. We are tub-and-shower area remodel and conversion specialists. This area of your bathroom is the most critical, as it’s the most susceptible to water damage. Like how a cardiologist specializes in the heart, we’ve mastered the trickiest area of your home.

It’s tempting to find someone who can “handle everything.” It sounds simpler that way, but it tends to be more of a headache for homeowners. Full bathroom remodels involve multiple trades, subcontractors, and tight scheduling, which can be disrupted. 

Starting with a professionally installed tub or shower can prevent costly repairs in the future and make the rest of your bathroom remodel more manageable.

So, What Area Do You Remodel and Why?

Shugarman’s Bath solely specializes in tub and shower remodeling. This area is the most failure-prone and expensive part of any bathroom, especially when it’s susceptible to water damage, mold, and structural issues. 

As tub and shower area specialists, we are able to maintain tight quality control with in-house crews, waterproofing systems, consistent installation standards, predictable timelines, and a tub and shower area with long-term performance.

Why Would Tub or Shower Come First in a Full Bathroom Remodel Makeover?

The tub or shower area should be remodeled before anything else in a bathroom because replacing a tub or shower typically involves opening walls, adjusting plumbing, installing waterproofing systems, and sealing materials together. Doing this work after new floors or finishes are installed often leads to damage or rework. That’s why experienced remodelers will start with the tub or shower first. 

You want a specialist since tub and shower remodels carry a higher risk than the rest of the bathroom. Make sure the job is done correctly the first time. After that, you can do a DIY or hire a licensed handyman to help keep the project more affordable.

Start With a Specialist Who Can Put Your Full Bathroom Remodel on the Right Foot

Trying to make one company handle everything often adds stress and risk, especially when much of the work is transferred to subcontractors. Focusing on the tub and shower area can protect the most vulnerable part of your home from water damage and create a strong foundation for the rest of your bathroom remodel.
