Jonesboro is the county seat, and it carries itself that way: a historic downtown with real character, the Tara Boulevard corridor running busy alongside it, and neighborhoods that range from older homes with deep roots to established subdivisions that have matured nicely. In a lot of those houses, the bathtub sits unused for years while everyone in the house wishes for a shower they can simply walk into.
Why Jonesboro Homeowners Convert Tubs to Showers
A tub-to-shower conversion solves that directly. We pull the old tub, rework the drain and supply lines for a shower layout, and build a new shower pan with full waterproofing underneath. What you get is a low-curb or curbless entry, tile you chose yourself, and a space that works better every single morning.
Safety is usually the reason people call. Climbing over a high tub wall is fine until it is not, and a walk-in shower with a bench, a handheld wand, and blocking in the walls for grab bars takes the worry out of the room. We build the blocking in during framing so the bars can go up now or years from now.
How a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Works
The process is straightforward. We protect the rest of your home, demo the tub and surround, and inspect the framing and subfloor before anything new goes in. Older Jonesboro homes sometimes hide soft subfloor around a leaking tub, and we would rather find it and fix it than tile over it.
Once the base is right, we set the pan, waterproof every seam, and lay tile with straight lines and tight joints. Niches go in at heights that suit the people using the shower, the curb gets a solid cap, and the glass or curtain rod finishes the job.
Full Remodels and Custom Tile Showers in Jonesboro
Many of our Jonesboro projects start as a conversion and grow from there. While we are in the room, homeowners often decide to replace the vanity, update the flooring, or redo the lighting, and a conversion can become a full bathroom remodel without the chaos of a second project. We quote it all upfront so there are no surprises.
We also build custom tile showers from scratch and remodel small bathrooms and powder rooms with the same care. A half bath near the entry or a compact hall bath gets proper tile, a well-made vanity, and fixtures that suit the scale of the room.
Small Bathrooms and Powder Rooms, Done Well
Materials matter to us more than marketing. We use proven waterproofing systems, mortar mixed right, and tile from real supply houses, because a shower is only as good as what is behind it.
