General Questions

Expo Home Improvement's FAQs are designed to answer the most common questions homeowners ask before starting a remodel. From bathtub and shower replacements to window installations, door upgrades, and cabinet refacing, you'll find expert guidance to help you prepare for your project. Each answer reflects our decades of experience serving Texas homeowners—so you can plan confidently, save time, and know exactly what to expect from your home improvement team.

Is there anything I need to prepare before the installers arrive?

Keep your driveway or front street clear for our installer's vehicle. Remove personal items, valuables, and breakables from the work area(s). Covering furniture is recommended as installation dust does occur. If you have pet(s), please make sure they are secured safely in a place away from the install to avoid crawling into opened walls or out of opened windows.

Do I need to be home during the install?

Yes, we recommend that you are home should questions arise. This is a custom job based upon your specifications. Upon completion, we will conduct a product demonstration and review operations with you.

Bathtub Replacement


How do I replace my bathtub?

The process involves removing the old unit, addressing plumbing connections, and ensuring proper installation to prevent leaks. Precise measurements are essential for seamless fitting. Expo Home Improvement handles all details, from removal to expert installation of standard, walk-in, or freestanding designs.

Why should I hire a professional for bathtub replacement?

Replacing a bathtub can be more complicated than expected. DIY bathtub replacement requires experience with plumbing, precise measurements, and sometimes even structural adjustments. Hiring a professional ensures the job is done correctly, preventing future issues like leaks, water damage, or installation errors.

What are the benefits of installing a walk-in bathtub?

Walk-in bathtubs offer many benefits, especially for seniors or those with mobility challenges. These tubs feature a door that opens to allow you to step in and out easily without the need to climb over a high tub edge. They also offer safety features like grab bars, non-slip floors, and ergonomic seating.

What is a one-day bathroom remodel, and how does it relate to bathtub replacement?

A streamlined service allowing bathroom updates within one business day. For bathtubs, old units are removed and new ones installed in a single day, minimizing disruption while maintaining quality results.

How long will the bathtub replacement take?

Most bathtub replacement projects are completed within 1-2 business days. Following the installation you will be required 24-48 hours to use your new bath. This gives the waterproof sealant time to dry, ensuring a beautiful, long-lasting result.

Is there anything I need to prepare before the installers arrive?

We will need a 10×10 working area with access to electrical outlets. Ensure your bath area is clear of loose items like soap, shampoos, towels, bathing chairs, etc.

Do I need to shut off my water valve?

We may need to shut off your water for a few hours. Please make sure you know the location of your water shut-off valve.

I want to paint the walls. Should I paint before or after the install?

We recommend any painting be completed prior to installation or that you obtain a professional painter for taping and painting around our silicone after installation. The finished silicone beads will not be paintable.

Why should I choose Expo Home Improvement for bathtub replacement in Texas?

The company provides skilled professionals ensuring correct installation. They offer various bathtub options including new, walk-in, and freestanding models. Clients receive high-quality products, expert installation, and outstanding customer service tailored to Texas homes.

Shower Replacement


How do I replace my shower?

The process involves removing the old unit, installing plumbing fixtures, and ensuring proper waterproofing. Replacing traditional showers with new models may require measuring and customizing spaces for new enclosures or doors. Expo specializes in professional installations.

Why should I hire a professional for a shower replacement project?

While DIY shower replacement might save money upfront, it requires a lot of skill, from plumbing to tiling and waterproofing. Mistakes in any of these areas can lead to costly repairs later. Hiring a professional ensures that your shower is installed correctly, with all plumbing, seals, and structural elements properly addressed.

What types of showers can I choose from?

Popular options include walk-in showers, barrier-free showers, and custom acrylic models. Walk-in designs work well for those seeking easy access, while barrier-free options provide extra safety for individuals with mobility challenges.

Why should I choose an acrylic shower for my home?

Acrylic showers are an excellent choice for homeowners due to their durability, low maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Acrylic is resistant to mold, mildew, and stains, making it ideal for the humid climate in Texas. Plus, acrylic showers come in a variety of styles and colors, so you can easily find one that complements your bathroom design.

How long does it take to replace a shower?

Most shower replacement projects are completed within 1-2 business days. Following the installation you will be required 24-48 hours to use your new bath. This gives the waterproof sealant time to dry, ensuring a beautiful, long-lasting result.

Bathtub-to-Shower Conversions


How can I convert my bathtub to a shower?

The process involves removing the existing bathtub and installing a shower system fitting the space. This may include upgrading plumbing, adding a shower base or enclosure, and adjusting surrounding areas for proper fit. Expo handles every detail from design through installation.

Conversions save space, making smaller bathrooms feel more open and accessible. They suit those preferring showers to baths and offer convenient, low-maintenance alternatives. Additionally, new showers can increase home value.

How long does it take to convert a bathtub to a shower?

The time it takes to convert a bathtub to a shower depends on the complexity of the project. Typically, a bathtub-to-shower conversion can be completed in just a few days. This includes removing the old bathtub, preparing the area, installing the shower base, and adding new plumbing if necessary.

Can I choose the style of my new shower?

Yes. Options include various shower bases, walls (acrylic or tile), and customizable showerheads and features. Choices range from modern to walk-in to barrier-free designs suited to individual preferences.

Why should I hire Expo Home Improvement for my bathtub-to-shower conversion in Texas?

While it may be tempting to do a bathtub-to-shower conversion yourself, the process requires extensive knowledge of plumbing, construction, and waterproofing. A mistake during the conversion could lead to water damage or costly repairs down the road. By hiring Expo Home Improvement, you ensure your project is completed correctly, quickly, and professionally.

What are the benefits of a new shower after converting a bathtub?

Conversions offer modern aesthetics, increased functionality, and better accessibility. Showers prove convenient for those with mobility issues. Newly installed units can be customized to match bathroom design, delivering fresh, updated appearances.

Window/Door Replacement


How long will a window installation take?

Depending on the number of the windows, we normally install within 1-2 business days, or up to 3 days for 20+ windows. Please note weather conditions may affect installation schedules.

Is there anything I need to prepare before the installers arrive?

If possible, please move any large furniture away from the windows. If we need to move any furniture of window blinds, please notify your Expo Care Team when scheduling your installation date.

Will you take away my old windows?

Yes, we will remove and dispose of your old windows.

Will there be dust during the installation?

Dust does occur and we will protect your home by laying down drop cloths inside. We do recommend that you cover any furniture or valuables for additional protection. Our crew will ensure all dust and dirt is cleaned up inside/outside and haul the trash afterwards.

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing


How long does a kitchen cabinet refacing project take?

Depending on the number of cabinets and and the scope of the project, we normally complete a kitchen cabinet refacing project within 2-3 business days.

Is there anything I need to prepare before the installers arrive?

Please make sure all cabinets are completely cleared out. Our team cannot work on your cabinets until everything has been removed. During your kitchen cabinet installation, our team will temporarily remove all appliances, so please plan for limited kitchen access until the project is complete.

What all will be replaced with my kitchen cabinet refacing project?

Our team updates your cabinets by replacing the doors, drawers, and hardwire while perserving the original structure. The original framework and interior will remain intact.
