Why Convert Your Tub to a Shower?

Converting a bathtub to a shower updates your bathroom to meet modern needs, especially in Upstate New York and New England, where space and accessibility are priorities.

This remodel saves space, improves safety, and aligns with the region’s diverse home styles, from historic properties in Pittsfield, MA, to newer builds in Hartford, CT.

Benefits of Tub to Shower Conversion

Walk-in or low-threshold showers improve safety for seniors or those with mobility needs, ideal for aging-in-place in New Haven, CT.

2. Space Optimization

Showers take up less room than tubs, freeing up space in compact bathrooms common in Hudson, NY, or Leominster, MA.

3. Increased Home Value

Bathroom remodels boost resale value, making your home more appealing to buyers in competitive markets like Dutchess County.

4. Modern Aesthetic

Sleek glass enclosures and tiled showers create a spa-like vibe, elevating the look of homes in New Britain, CT, or Saratoga County.

Communication could have been better. They tried to bill me before work was completed. Other than that, we're reasonably satisfied.

The remodel of my bathtub/shower to a walk in shower is amazing! The team arrived on time both days, Vlad was even early! The entire team from sales to office to installation was great to deal with. I was informed of all updates that were related to my remodel.
Pictures do not do this remodel justice. The glare from the light and mirror made the pictures look funny.

Jarrod was very good at his job! He made us feel comfortable moving forward with Vista. We built our house using a 3D model and changed our siding and roof. We cant wait to see it all come together in real life!

We had our bathroom done by Vista a year ago. We were very impressed by the whole process from start to finish and love our bathroom.
Having experienced such great service and efficiency we decided to go again with Vista for a new roof and three skylights. Angelo Passerini came out today to give us an estimate and get the ball rolling. What a very nice man he is. Polite, personable and he knew his product inside out. He was patient with our questions, and it was a very enjoyable experience. We can't wait to see our new roof and skylights.

My experience with Vista was fantastic. Jarrod knew his product inside and out. He easily explained everything to me. I knew I was getting exactly what I wanted and needed. Stefan helped me every step of the way financing this project. No easy task since computers are not easy for me. To everyone else, thank you for a job excellently and professionally done.

The Product Specialist that came to do our estimate was Jacob Loyd. He was very knowledgeable & friendly. Answered all the questions we had and at the end we decided to replace 10 windows. Very excited for our upcoming project. Will update once it’s all completed. 👍🏼
