Is A Walk-In Bathtub The Right Choice For Your
Hopkins Bathroom Remodeling Project?

Discover Whether A Walk-In Bathtub
Is A Good Fit For Your Home

Every Hopkins bathroom remodeling project involves making decisions between choices that may seem impossible. We are talking about more than choosing the right color for your bathroom; we are talking about the products you use throughout the bathroom to make it your dream bathroom.

For many homeowners remodeling their bathrooms, the tub and shower area is one of their main focuses. After all, this area takes up a lot of space inside the bathroom and is one of those items you use every day. Thus, you want it to be perfect!

A design choice that many homeowners are making is opting to go with a walk-in bathtub in their bathroom. Is this a choice that is right for you?

Before you jump in with both feet and say yes or no to a walk-in bathtub, let’s examine its benefits and who is using it to help you make a decision.

Who Are Walk-In Bathtubs Designed For
In The Minneapolis/St.Paul Area?

Contrary to what many people believe, walk-in bathtubs are not limited to a certain age bracket. While these tubs were initially marketed as a solution for those with mobility issues, they are now used by people of all ages who value comfort and safety in their bathing experience.

However, walk-in tubs are for anyone and everyone these days. Yes, they allow you to sit in a comfortable position while soaking and have a door that makes it easier to access the tub, so they are still great options for those with mobility issues.

But when you consider the options for jets, massage therapy, aromatherapy, and much more, walk-in bathtubs transform into a haven of comfort and luxury. They are more than just a practical solution for those with mobility issues; they are a high-end addition to any bathroom, regardless of your age.

So, ultimately, a walk-in bathtub is a treat for everyone!

Walk-In Bathtubs Are A Home Improvement
Project That Allows You To Age At Home

Are you at the age when you’re thinking about how to make your life easier as you get older? If so, a walk-in tub can be a great home improvement project to take on.

These bathtubs are known for helping people maintain their independence – especially those who have issues with showering or traditional bathtubs. Since walk-in tubs are designed for you to walk into them and sit down to enjoy a bath, they greatly reduce the risk of falls.

While upgrading is one task you can do to help you age at home comfortably and safely, it can have a profound impact on allowing you to retain your independence and stay in your home.

There are tons of other age-at-home bathroom projects you can combine with a walk-in tub, such as non-slip flooring, handrails throughout your home, and other projects.

The Benefits Of A Walk-In Bathtub For
Your Hopkins Bathroom

There are several benefits of having a walk-in bathtub installed into your Hopkins bathroom during your bathroom remodel project. These range from safety to health benefits; let’s examine some significant benefits people see.

1. Ensure A Safer Bathroom

The bathroom is the number one place where people fall. And yes, people of all ages fall in their bathroom. However, the older you become, the more likely a fall will result in lasting physical harm.

Walk-in bathtubs are not just a stylish addition to your bathroom; they are a smart choice for safety. With their low threshold and strategically placed grab bars, they significantly reduce the risk of falls, making your bathroom a safer place for everyone in your household.

2. Walk-In Bathtubs Offer Tons Of Health Benefits

Soaking in a bathtub has been proven to help with several health issues, and when you couple the fact that this soak is in a comfortable walk-in tub, then you may see even more health benefits.

For example, soaking for twenty minutes has been shown to help greatly relieve the pain of arthritis and fibromyalgia. In addition, those with high blood pressure may drop their levels after spending thirty minutes relaxing in a walk-in bathtub.

Soaking in a warm bath has long been known to improve circulation and promote relaxation. When you add in the options of massage therapy or hydrotherapy to these walk-in bathtubs, the benefits to your health are even more significant. A walk-in bathtub is not just a luxury; it’s a health investment.

3. Deeper Water Is Allowed

While these tubs have a door, it is watertight once the door is closed. You will find that these bathtubs can hold more water than traditional bathtubs. That is one of the reasons why so many people report better results for pain and other conditions with a walk-in tub compared to a regular bathtub.

A walk-in tub will give you a submersible experience thanks to the tub holding more water.

4. Walk-In Tubs Add Value To Your Home

Even if you do not think you would benefit from a walk-in tub, you may find that it adds value to your home. Many people are buying homes with the future in mind.

A walk-in tub already installed in a home can give a feeling of a “forever home” to those thinking of their future. And people will pay more for a home than a bathroom remodeled to the point that it looks great now and will continue to function in the future.

Walk-In Bathtubs Can Add That Special Something
To Your Bathroom Remodeling Project

Ultimately, when remodeling a bathroom, you can make this unique to you in tons of ways. Adding a walk-in tub can give your bathroom that special something that makes you feel at home for many years to come.

Our experience with Executive Remodeling was excellent from Day One! We had our entire basement done, and they were great at helping put together our ideas with what was doable, staying within budget, and turning out a beautiful finished product. All of the trades that came were professional, courteous, cleaned up well after themselves, and did a beautiful job. We couldn't be more pleased and heartily recommend them!

We emptied out the basement for drain tile then re-installed what was taken out to preserve the investment in our nearly 100-year-old house. Executive’s team was supportive every step of the way. Their optimism and 'can do' attitude were helpful as we discovered complications. They got the right craftsmen for every step. We even added a new garden window to the kitchen upstairs, knowing we could trust them to do a great install. We sleep well knowing our wiring is up to code, and we enjoy a great deal of natural light in the basement because of their work.

1. This was our first big renovation. We weren't prepared for some of the decisions we needed to make before the project started. 2. Guidelines for what was expected of us before the project began wasn't clear, such as selection of: backsplash, lighting , tiles etc. 3. Once the project began, Executive Remodeling gave us a clear timeline with weekly updates. 4. Executive Remodeling staff was very courteous and respectful as were their contractors. 5. They informed us of what they were going to do with construction details i.e. - poly barriers, dust, etc. 6. They also had an excellent cleaning crew who did more than we expected. 7. We are extremely satisfied with the kitchen renovation and we will definitely have them involved in our other renovations.

We used Executive Remodeling to finish our basement. As first time homeowners with no construction experience, we could not have asked for an easier process. Workmanship was incredible, everything ran on time, communication was excellent, and we couldn’t be happier with the end product. We would recommend them to anyone, and already have! We will definitely use them for any future projects that come up. Thanks so much to Ryan, Reed, and Katie!

'We recently needed some work done on our home and used Executive Remodeling. The communication and suggestions concerning our project were clear and very helpful. The workmen respected our home, were professional, left the worksite clean, and, when on-site, accommodated our need to be in and out of our home. The project was completed on time, and the costs were exactly as quoted.'

Executive Remodeling did a great job redoing our basement. They were responsive, easy to work with, and flexible in dealing with the unexpected things that crop up. I totally recommend them.

Excellent. Prompt and great workmanship. Very little disruption to our routine, and they cleaned up professionally. Handled the dealings with the insurance company as repair was caused by hail damage. This made the whole process easy. They also brought all the samples to our house for selection which was very efficient for us. Highly recommend Executive Remodeling.

Bernie A.

The owners of Executive Remodeling were extremely helpful and honest in making decisions on our project. They stuck to what was in our budget. The workmanship was excellent. The workers were professional. The job was done very timely. We were extremely satisfied from start to finish. We highly recommend!

After meeting with several Twin Cities contractors to find the right fit for our dream home addition, we chose Executive Remodeling because we valued their honesty, experience, and straightforward approach to planning and project execution. The team was easy to work with and responsive. We were treated with honesty and integrity and got an incredible amount of value for our investment. We couldn't be happier with the results.
