Tub-to-shower conversions are the most requested change and the most commonly botched, usually at the curb and the drain: the pan has to slope to the drain evenly or water sits against the curb and finds the gap.
Ventilation sized to the room, ducted outside and not into the attic, is what stops the mold that brings people back two years later.
Long cooling seasons and heavy summer rain drive the two problems we see most here: moisture getting into assemblies, and anything that traps it staying wet.
What the job includes
- Tub-to-shower conversion
- Waterproof pan and membrane systems
- Tile shower and wet-room builds
- Vanity, toilet and fixture replacement
- Exhaust ventilation sized and ducted
- Grab bars and accessible layouts

Owners and renters are roughly balanced in Baltimore, with 48% of occupied homes owner-occupied (68% statewide).1 Rental-unit bathrooms are quoted for durable surfaces and fast turnover.
