What tub-to-shower conversion looks like in Matthews
We do a lot of these in the Charlotte metro for longtime owners who want to stay in the home. In Matthews's older housing that often means also correcting the drain location and replacing the subfloor around it, which we quote as part of the scope instead of a change order.
Homes of that vintage sit in an awkward spot: too new to be considered historic, old enough that everything mechanical is now past its service life. In Matthews we're regularly replacing polybutylene supply lines discovered mid-project, upgrading panels that can't carry a modern bathroom's load, and reworking bathrooms whose layouts made sense when the house had one shared bath and now don't. We look for those issues during the consultation instead of at demolition, because finding a polybutylene line on day one of a fixed-price job is exactly the kind of surprise that wrecks a schedule. Mature tree canopy here also means storm and roof calls after every serious wind event.

What clients say
Recent feedback from Matthews and nearby communities.
“They spotted polybutylene supply at the consultation and priced the replacement as a line item up front. Every other bid would have hit us with that mid-project. That honesty won the job.”
“Third contractor we interviewed and the only one who put a line-item scope in writing. No change orders, no drifting price. The frameless glass and niche work are exactly what was drawn.”
“We manage 40+ doors. STRYDE keeps our paint spec on file, so every unit matches and touch-ups never flash. Three-day turns, consistently, and one invoice per property.”
Tub-to-Shower Conversion in Matthews — common questions
Will removing the tub hurt resale?
Only if it leaves the home with no tub at all. If you have another full bath with a tub, converting this one typically helps.
How disruptive is it in an occupied Matthews home?
Dust containment goes up on day one, floors are protected, and the work zone stays sealed. Most conversions are done in seven to ten working days.
Can you add grab bars later?
We install solid blocking behind the tile during the build so bars can be added anywhere down the road without opening the wall.
