Philadelphia Homeowner Gains Longer Independence at Home With Bathroom Remodel

Our Philadelphia client’s existing shower tub and bathroom fixtures made showering a risky and uncomfortable task. We performed a shower tub conversion and bathroom remodel that removed the risk and created a comfortable and easy showering experience for her. We installed shower grab bars and built a custom shower perfect for her needs. Shower grab bars improve stability and reduce the risk of dangerous slips and falls. Fixtures can result in painful injuries during a fall and you can be particularly vulnerable to falls when the bathroom surfaces become wet and slippery. Shower grab bars are also very important to help you safely enter and exit your shower, especially when using a cane or walker. For this bathroom renovation in Philadelphia we widened the footprint of the shower by removing sections of the shower wall to allow our client to easily enter and exit the shower with minimal effort and risk. As part of the bathtub conversion to a shower, we build a custom bench with a dedicated removable showerhead so our client can shower in comfort and without difficulty. We renovated the doorway to allow better access to the room. The entry, shower grab bars, shower bench and shower doors were custom measured, built and installed to fit our client’s specific height and measurements. Belles Construction is the best choice for this type of bathroom remodel because we take the time to guarantee the remodel and fixtures completely fit and suit our client’s needs. We love helping our clients live longer in their own homes with comfort, safety and independence!

Customer Spotlight (photos above): “My customer wanted to expand their shower because they were tired of negotiating a tiny shower. I suggested removing the bathroom closet in order to build them a shower they could dance in. From the high-end ceramic tiles to the frameless glass shower doors – the renovation well exceeded their expectations. After this renovation was completed, they hired us to redo their other two bathrooms.” Top Trends Organic Chic Redoing your bathroom with natural accents like a wood sink vanity, textured and matte stone tile, and earth tones gives a warm, farmhouse-modern feel to your bathroom.
