10 Top-Rated Shower Replacement Pros Near Albany
This site usually splits shower replacement pros into tile, plumbing and glass; Albany doesn't have the license data to do that yet, so this page works from Google instead. The 10 businesses below sit in one ranked list rather than our usual trade split, ordered by combining their star rating with review count. A high rating tells you what past customers thought, nothing about which license, if any, a business holds.

Questions for each trade
- Tile: who waterproofs the wall before new tile goes up, and what product do they use?
- Tile: does the quote include removing the old surround, or does that happen separately?
- Plumbing: is the new valve pressure-balance or thermostatic, and what brand and model?
- Plumbing: does the drain stay in its current spot, or is it moving?
- Glass: framed or frameless, and is the glass tempered to meet the safety-glazing rule for wet locations?
- Glass: what's the lead time on ordering, since custom glass is often the longest-lead item on the job?
- All trades: who is the single point of contact if something needs to be redone?
