A range from our published packages, before a site visit. Your written estimate sets the exact price.

Glass is measured after tile and installed about a week later; we leave a curtain rod up until then. The week-by-week version is on how a Willow remodel runs.
If the valve or drain moves, the conversion needs a plumbing permit. A like-for-like swap on the existing drain sometimes does not. We check with the city before quoting and include the permit when it is needed.
| City | Permits from | Typical review |
|---|---|---|
| Palo Alto | City of Palo Alto Development Services | about 2 weeks on the city’s express track or 30 days on standard review, plus any correction rounds |
| Menlo Park | City of Menlo Park Building Division | about 4–8 weeks for a complete submission; we confirm the current time when we apply |
| Atherton | Town of Atherton Building Department | about 4–6 weeks for interior work; longer when the exterior changes and design review applies |

Our three conversion packages and their prices are at the top of this page; line items are on the tub-to-shower cost page.
One day for acrylic, about five for tile, seven to ten for curbless. Glass is measured after tile and installed about a week later.
When the drain or valve moves, yes. We confirm with your city before quoting and include it.
In another bathroom if you have one. For a one-bathroom house, the acrylic system is back in use the next day.
Acrylic is faster and has no grout to clean. Tile looks better, lasts longer and lets you choose any size and layout.
Our workmanship and the waterproofing, in writing. See our warranty page.
A deposit of $1,000 or 10% of the price, whichever is less, at signing; after that you pay as the work is completed. The full schedule is on our pricing page.
