Why Walled Lake Homes Convert the Way They Do
Walled Lake's older cottage conversions frequently have undersized or non-rectangular tub alcoves that require a fully custom fit.
Converted lake cottages plus newer subdivisions. When we price a job in Walled Lake, that's the first thing we ask about — not the finishes. A homeowner picking tile is choosing between options that differ by a few hundred dollars. Whether there's a cast iron tub sitting on a second floor is a difference of a full day's labor.

Oakland County Master Baths
A large share of Walled Lake homes have both a tub and a separate shower in the master bathroom. If you're in one of those, you already know the tub hasn't been filled in years — it's holding towels, or nothing at all.
That's the easiest conversion we do and the highest-value one. The footprint, the drain and the water supply are already there. Converting it gives you one large, genuinely usable shower instead of two compromised fixtures.
How a Walled Lake Install Works
We measure
Alcove width, doorway clearance, tub material. Ten minutes, and it's what makes the quote accurate.
You pick the finish
Wall panel or tile, bench or no bench, glass or curtain. Fixed price either way.
Install day
Floors covered before anything moves. Tub out, base in, walls up, fixtures on.

Walled Lake — Common Questions
What happens if you find something unexpected behind the wall?
In Walled Lake's older homes it happens — rotted subfloor, a previous repair done badly, galvanized pipe that shouldn't go back into service. We stop and talk to you before we spend any of your money. You'll get the options and the costs, and you decide. What we don't do is keep working and hand you a bigger invoice at the end.
Is a walk-in tub or a walk-in shower better for me?
If soaking genuinely helps — arthritis, circulation, chronic pain — get the walk-in tub; the hydrotherapy is real. If you haven't taken an actual bath in years and just want to get clean safely, get the shower. It's roughly half the price and there's no waiting for it to fill or drain. We sell both and we have no reason to steer you wrong.
Do you actually work in Walled Lake, or just advertise there?
We work in Walled Lake regularly — it's part of our core Oakland County service area and has been for 18 years. Same pricing as everywhere else, no travel surcharge. We also cover Novi, Commerce Township, Wixom, West Bloomfield.
What if my bathroom is really small?
Small bathrooms are most of what we work in. That's usually an argument for a conversion rather than against one — a tub occupies about 13 square feet of a room that might only have 40, and a shower in that same footprint makes the space genuinely bigger to move around in. For very tight rooms, a cutout is often the smarter call.
Can you make it wheelchair accessible?
Yes. We install fully barrier-free roll-in bases with zero threshold in 60″×30″, 60″×32″ and 60″×36″, plus L-shape transfer walk-in tubs that open the entire end of the tub for a seated transfer. Tell us the situation on the phone and we'll spec it properly rather than selling you a standard unit.
Can you handle a cast iron tub in Walled Lake?
Yes, and around here it's routine. We cut cast iron down in place rather than trying to carry it out whole — that's the part that damages doorframes, stair treads and floors when it's done by someone who hasn't done it before.
