Transition and Walk-in Tub Installation in Hamel, MN
Are you or a loved one having trouble standing in the shower? Are you having difficulty entering or feel unsafe about exiting a conventional bath tub? Transition and Walk in tubs give you the peace of mind of safety. They are easy access specialty tubs which feature a water tight door and comfortable contoured seats built into the tub.
The most important feature to consider before purchasing a new tub is the door. Walk-in tubs are more common than transition tubs because of their door type which is the inward opening hinged door. This is because it requires no additional bathroom space. Transition tubs have an outward opening doors which require more bathroom space but may be a much safer choice because the door is completely out of the way when entering and exiting.
You may also want to consider the size and installation process. Many tubs fit into existing shower locations and do not require additional bathroom remodeling. In some cases however, installation may require further renovation to the bathroom. In this case, consult a licensed and insured contractor before choosing the tub.
Watch our video below for more information on what to look for when considering to install a walk-in tub.

Finish basement of new home construction
Customer Comments: " Huge project -far beyond the scope of a traditional
"handyman," but Handy Pro worked with me on the floor planning and design,
and added considerably to the vision of the design. They orchestrated and
managed the use of a variety of sub-contractors for the specialized
portions of the project ... Jay from HandyPro, to frame, build custom
bookcases and mantle, and to do the fine craftsman finishing. They were
responsive, provided excellent advice and were focused on service. Their
quotes were accurate, their sub-contractors superior, and the attention to
detail (particularly considering the size of the project) was outstanding!
Equally important was they were made themselves available and were
tremendous at communicating where the project stood! The end result is
absolutely PERFECT! "

Hello!
I had the pleasure of meeting Jay this week. I had a long list of to-do's and he completed almost every one of them. The ones he wasn't able to complete was due to the cold and snow but we will complete the tasks when the weather is warmer.
He gave me an estimate for a shower repair and we would like to proceed with that.
I was very pleased with Jay and his work. He is a pleasant, hard working fellow who also happens to have the patience of a saint when it comes to my many barking dogs!
