For years TruBuild has been making peoples dreams a reality. No job is too big or too small for us! We do everything we can to make sure our craftsmanship and communication beats our competitors. We are a family-owned business and will treat you like our family every step of the way.
"We hired Cain to do work in our basement in November 2024, in January, he informed us that they were not doing any work any longer and the money we gave him as a down payment would be returned in a few days, it is now April and we have not seen those funds returned. We have found out since that he has a history of taking money under one company name, then stopping after he has your money and opening a new company name. We will be filing a claim against Cain and his companies to recover the money he has taken. We have contacted him many times and not received any response from him. This is a buyer beware company. I would look for someone else before working with him again"

Our installers have well over 5,000 bath installs combined, All of our installers are highly trained by the owner of Daniel Company himself to provided detailed job that our clients expect and deserve.. Daniel company offers financing options.
"There’s a lot to love about this small company, formed when its owner, Scott Daniel, put together a team of some of his pals with experience working at big-box remodeling companies in south central Wisconsin. We chose Daniel Company Bathrooms after getting six estimates for our project, remodeling two bathrooms in conjunction with a skylight installation by another company. DC’s estimator Nick is patient, knowledgeable, and listens. He worked hard to bring us as close as possible to our vision, referring us to local wholesalers whose products are available exclusively to contractors. DC gets a small percentage of the sales, but it’s still cheaper than shopping retail and better than going with big-box remodelers. Our project manager, Casey is a genuine craftsman who takes pride in his workmanship. Our foreman, Brian, dealt patiently with issues as they cropped up. DC subcontracts both an electrician, who’s capable, painters, and a tiling team, Steven Wolf. Steven is the real star of the operation, a talented artist who prides himself on his precision and hard work. He pulled our project off brilliantly. As with any ambitious remodeling project, unforeseen issues came up. One had to do with the installation of a recessed medicine cabinet. We bought the cabinet, a double trough-style sink, and a skylight with the same dimensions so that these items would line up. Unfortunately, a hidden electrical box behind a wall prevented us from aligning the medicine cabinet, which ended up being off conspicuously by 3 inches. Another issue involved a cement partition, hidden behind another wall, that threatened to prevent installation our soaking tub. Fortunately, DC found a way. Two other setbacks involved human error. The first had to do with forgetting to put in an opening for the water line to the handheld shower fitting. Using photos of the interior before it was tiled over, DC figured out where to drill. The second had to do with the slide bar for a handheld shower being installed incorrectly, off by inches. Fixing it perfectly would’ve involved retiling. Admirably, DC apologized for the error, took responsibility, and worked to resolve the issue to our satisfaction. Setting aside these human errors, which are understandable and forgivable, my only slight criticism has to do with a certain disconnect among the workers and the owner. This disconnect was visible, for example, in the way DC dealt with a loud ceiling fan they had installed. We had purchased 2 “whisper” fans, one of which did not whisper. DC couldn’t adjust it. The owner insisted the problem must be a manufacturer’s defect, not DC’s installation, and DC can’t stand behind products they have not approved. The only problem is that DC had approved them. Before purchasing the fans, I had run the specs by the estimator, who okayed them. When I pointed this out to the owner, he replied that the estimator is basically a salesman. The project also ran a couple of weeks over the contracted completion date. To DC’s credit, even after the project was done and paid for, they still dispatched workers at no cost to swap out temporary parts with the proper parts that arrived late because of supply chain issues. Were it not for the minor grumble about communication, and the fact that getting hold of the estimator to nail down some details was occasionally difficult, Daniel Company Bathrooms would get an A+ from me. As things stand, I’d give them an “A” rating. Meaning I’d use them again without trying anyone else and would recommend DC Bathrooms highly to friends and family (so long as the home owner is persistent enough to make sure there’s no disconnect between the estimator, project manager, and owner). In short, Daniel Company Bathrooms is a reliable, professional, most excellent though small remodeling company that I would recommend highly!"

Additional DBA - BCI Acrylic Bath Systems.
"This review is about my personal experience with one of BCI Acrylics Dealers. I contracted with Bath Planet of Atlanta in June of 2022. To say I had a horrible experience is an understatement. Their product seems fine but their Dealers leave something to be desired. Horrible communication with customers, horrible customer service all the way around. You will end up project managing their employees, if they show up. I have brought my issues with the Atlanta Dealer up with the home office of BCI and they don't seem to care either. I have no confidence in the installation since the shelving they put up fell off of the wall. They were installed by the same technician that installed our new shower. They called me to schedule someone to come out to fix the shelving that fell off the wall and I could hear one of the Managers screaming in the background to "get this B*@*H off his back", he was referring to me! I would NOT RECOMMEND working with any of their Dealers if my experience is indicative of how all of their Dealers do business."

The cost to refinish a bathtub is $490 for most homeowners. However, this cost can range from $200 to $1,000 or more, depending on your tub's material and condition.
For example, enamel and cast-iron bathtubs are pretty straightforward to refinish, costing between $350 and $600. However, if you have an antique claw-foot tub, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for refinishing costs due to the care and complexity needed.
For a standard-sized bathtub with minor damage, it takes approximately 3 to 5 hours to refinish. It might take a bit longer if your bathtub refinishing contractor needs to fill in significant cracks or gouges. This is the same if you have a specialty tub, like an oversized bathtub—you can expect your pro to take a bit on the longer side.
If your bathtub is in overall good shape with minor scratches, discoloration, or just general wear and tear, it's best (and less expensive) to refinish it.
If your tub has large cracks, is leaking, or is otherwise severely damaged, we recommend replacing it with a new bathtub. Refinishing a bathtub can only fix superficial problems, so these issues will still be present or reappear after a refinishing.
There are a few signs, both obvious and not so obvious, that it's time to refinish your bathtub. While some of these signs aren't an urgent problem, others could lead to significant damage if left untreated. Signs you should look out for include:
Rust stains, which signal the tub's enamel or surface sealer is deteriorating
Small chips, which can grow into larger chunks and can lead to rusting
Discoloration, which doesn't lead to a more significant problem but can be unsightly
Dirty surfaces, which means that the tub glaze is breaking down and allowing dirt to seep below the coating
Refinishing a bathtub is worth it if your tub has minor damage or is a color that you don't like. The cost of replacing a bathtub is more expensive than simply refinishing one, averaging around $5,300. It's more cost-effective to refinish your tub if you can, but it also gives you the look of a new bathtub without having to replace the whole thing.
