Altoona's Top-Rated Shower Replacement Businesses

This site usually splits shower replacement pros into tile, plumbing and glass; Altoona doesn't have the license data to do that yet, so this page works from Google instead. The 6 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

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