Book Your Appointment{Set Up An Appointment What're your ideas on Hiring a Plumbing Expert? There I said it. The only way grout isn’t evil is if you’re not the one who has to clean it or deal with the mold or bacteria living in it. Besides, who wants ANYTHING (other than an occasional plant) growing in their master or kid’s bathroom? Grout joints (and the tile they’re joined to) look beautiful… initially. However, it’s the eventually which sucks (sorry to be so real, but you know I’m right). This ‘eventually’ (literally) brings you to your hands and knees. Or this ‘eventually’ forces you to call the ‘Grout Medic,’ and who wants to invite over a ‘medic’ to get rid of mold and bacteria between grout joints anyway? Do you like to have contractors in your home? If you’re like (‘er everybody) the answer is no way! Even if they’re the nicest guys and gals in the world, contractors are an interruption to your life. They make a mess. They take you out of your routine. And especially after living through a pandemic – the shorter amount of time a contractor can be in your home the better. ‘Bath in a day’ acrylic companies get in and get out quickly. They make this happen by installing shower and tub surrounds and liners over old materials (like your old cast iron or steel tub or tile walls). Who doesn’t love a quick installation? If you’re looking for an upgraded look at a low-price acrylic tub liners or wall surrounds should be on your ‘get an estimate’ list. They install in 1/3 to 1/6th the time of tile. You’ll save money vs. bringing in a tile setter who you swear has become the reincarnation of Eldon the Painter from a rerun of Murphy Brown (AKA the contractor who NEVER leaves your home!). The only time you won’t save money on an acrylic job is if you ‘bow down to’ a ‘high-pressure’ acrylic company who uses ‘Tin-Men-esque’ sales techniques. These ‘slick salesman’ will ‘start high’ and see if they can get you to buy (at prices even higher than tile and higher quality shower surrounds like cultured granite and laminate wall panels). If you don’t want to sign now, they’ll call their ‘Sales Manager’ to get you a ‘once in a lifetime deal.’ However, you’ve got to sign today to take advantage of this (quote/unquote) ‘sale.’ We had been shown that write-up on Hiring a Plumbing Expert through an acquaintance on another site.
