Here are some answers to frequently asked questions about Erie Construction bathtub remodeling, acrylic showers, shower conversions, and more.
Why should I have an Erie Construction acrylic bathtub or tub liner installed instead of removing my old tub? Removing a bathtub is a time consuming and dirty job. The process can damage walls, flooring and plumbing, and put your bathroom out of service for days. When you choose Erie Construction, we will install a beautiful new acrylic bathtub liner right over your old one in a matter of hours.
Homeowners all over Ohio have wondered, "Why shouldn't I just use bathtub resurfacing or bathtub refinishing?" Repainting can make a bathtub look good, briefly. Unfortunately, such painted-on finishes are fragile and require special care. Most jobs we have encountered have to be redone within two to five years. There is also a strong odor associated with repainting, and the coating requires three or four days to dry. Installing an Erie Construction acrylic tub liner or acrylic shower provides a long-lasting, efficient solution to revive your bathroom.
Is the one-piece Erie Construction wall installed right over my old tile? Yes. Our one-piece seamless wall system is installed right over existing tiling.
Beth from Michigan asked, "Do you offer any selection of Tub Liners?" Our Wall Surrounds are available in many colors and styles including solids and simulated tile patterns. We have something to fit everyone's taste. The wall panels are Floor to Ceiling height. Add a ceiling panel of the same color for that custom fully enclosed look. This provides superior water protection!
A homeowner from St. Louis asked, "What is a tub-to-shower conversion?" This is one of our best selling home improvement remodeling choices. In 1-2 days we can tear out your old tub and install a walk-in shower in its place. This is a MUST for senior citizens and the mobility challenged. 60% of all household injuries are from getting in or out of the bathtub. We can install safety grab-bars, a seat, and a hand held shower system.
How will it look when it's done? An Erie Construction shower surround, bathtub liner or shower conversion installation will transform your bathroom beautifully and look like you installed a brand new bathroom. Our products are durable and virtually maintenance free.
"Can mold grow behind the new wall and under the new tub?" is a question we were asked in Iowa City. No, mold only grows in the presence of moisture. Our system seals and waterproofs the underlying area. Therefore, mold will not grow. We ensure this by thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the existing surfaces prior to installing the new tub and wall.
Tom from Indianapolis asked, "How long will an Erie Construction acrylic bathtub liner or shower surround last?" DR/ABS (Durable RubberAcrylic / Acrylantril Butadine Styrene). It is a very durable product that has been around since 1936 and perfected in this form in the 1970's. With its durable surface, Acrylic will not chip, crack, scratch easily, or peel. It is also very easy to clean and will retain its gloss for many years. One of its best features is that it's non porous! This means that mold and mildew will not form on it. Our acrylic is backed by a lifetime manufacturers warranty.
"I have seen complaints on other websites about Erie, why?" Most of these complaints are old and were resolved a long time ago. Our corporate office looks into every complaint. We have discovered that some complaints have been posted by saboteurs who never even received Erie Construction services. We have served over 55,000 satisfied customers nationally, and it's Erie Construction's company policy to address concerns promptly. In the event a customer has an issue with our products or services, we see to it that it is resolved. All products carry a limited, lifetime warranty. Further, if you sell your house, your warranty is transferable to the new owner. Over the past 30 years, Erie Construction has transformed the bathrooms of thousands of homes to the delight of their owners. See what we can do for you!
