UPDATE: Paul, the principal owner, was extremely responsive to my concerns and has taken huge steps to make sure I’m happy with the end result. I truly appreciate his efforts and am happy to give this company five stars.
ORIGINAL REVIEW: The installers—Noah, Matt, & Pierce— were terrific. Skilled, courteous, and exceedingly clean. Five stars for them. The initial contacts with the company were the problem. The salesperson Brandon was over-the-top pushy and high-pressure. It wasn’t until a week after his sales pitch that another employee mentioned in passing that I could visit a showroom and see samples. The process could have gone more smoothly had I been shown actual products or samples at the outset.

Mickey and Josh were fantastic! They got my shower installed within 3 days and I was very impressed with their professionalism all the way through. They kept me updated and reconfirmed my preferences during each phase of the project with special attention to each and every detail. They also treated my senior dog, Bentley with care, as he often laid in their path! I could not be happier with this team and Calco! I would definitely recommend them to install your shower/bathroom remodel.
Jenny F.
We highly recommend Calco for your bathroom renovations. They are a very professional, easy company to work with providing excellent workmanship. From our first meeting with Matt and Neill in formulating a plan for our 1967 bathrooms, to being updated by Rob (yay RVA!) to having Ed and Pierce doing the awesome work, we couldn’t be happier.
We were so impressed with Ed and Pierce. They prepared our home with ram board and plastic enclosures to keep damage and dust to a minimum. They were very respectful of our possessions inside and outside and cleaned up at the end of each day. Through this intense work, they were very pleasant and make a great team. Their outstanding skills in their craft is excellent! Every stage was done meticulously. Our family bath and half bath are now beautiful. In addition, they drove 3+ hours round trip each day! It was a pleasure having Ed and Pierce working in our home. Thank you guys!!!
Betty T.
Amazing job! Josh and Mickey replaced an ugly acrylic eyesore of a shower with a beautiful non-acrylic shower. These two work together like a well-oiled machine and did a fabulous job of updating my shower. It was quite obvious that the most important part of their job was to make sure I was happy with the result. They always came through for me. I love the new shower! I would recommend Calco to anyone looking to do updates like this.

CalCo recently completed our complete kitchen and family room remodel. Everything got taken out, down to the bare walls. From the first day Matt, Josh, and Wendell came into our house, they were polite, kept a clean workspace, they were always mindful about our pets when going in and out of the house to make sure there were no escapes, and constantly communicated with us to make sure we knew what the daily plan was and if there were any issues that needed to be addressed.

The only thing left for our project is some minor touch ups and CalCo has not dropped the ball on that. They have been in regular communication with me to schedule the completion of those final touches. I've had the unfortunate experience of previous contractors never coming back to complete those finishing touch ups, but these guys see the project through to the end.
David A.
Switched Laundry Room to Full bath and powder room to a laundry room because my wife can no longer walk upstairs to take a shower.

ED and Pierce worked extremely hard to complete our project. They were very professional and polite. They went out of their way to make the project as successful as possible. I can't say enough about how great they were. Calco is lucky to have them!
Janet B.
Jerod and Mike did a phenominal job on my long overdue bathroom renovation. There was extended damage to the flooring beneath the bath tub and parts of the kitchen. I know how long and hard Jerod and Mike worked to make sure the flooring for the new bathroom was safe and secure. They were then able to remake my over 20 year old bathroom. New bath and shower, vanity, lighing, new insulated walls, and floors.
I have to say that Jerod and Mike have been gifted by God. My bathroom is bright and beautiful and a joy to use it.
I am so happy to have found Calco Design. Everyone I spoke with was very polite, friendly and knowledgeable. I thank you for your help and your.expertise, and my beautiful bathroom.
God bless you all!

I cannot say enough about our tub install team Mickey and Josh. They went above and beyond their duty. Beyond excited!!!
Heather Z.
Had Calco replace a porcelain over cast iron tub with a step in shower. Just used my shower for the first time and I could hardly believe I was in my own bathroom. Caleb and Noah were great. They kept me informed every step of the way. There were 2 small wrinkles but they were resolved. I almost can't wait to save up to get my kitchen done. I will definitely be calling CalCo.
Chris C.
CalCo was awesome to deal with from start to finish. Their attention to detail was far and above better than most competitors. I appreciated how Mickey and Josh kept me abreast of everything during the length of the project. I would definitely recommend CalCo to my family and friends.
Anne W.
This in total took them a little over a week. They were excellent with details. Any issues that we ran into were resolved 100% quickly and they do take pride in quality. What I absolutely loved about this was the project was done. Start to finish. They did the plumbing and electrical changes in the Existing outlets. The flooring. The painting. They took care of everything. The only thing I had to Pick up on my own were lights and the mirror. You can pick from a number of different patterns for your cabinets and walls in the shower. I love the hardware in the shower and the sink. Mickey and Josh were great. They had no problem with me checking in and asking questions and asking for things to be done the way I wanted it. (Like the height on the shelves and shower curtain rod). I’m a satisfied customer.
I asked around to different companies and individuals And I was told that the price was right.
Angela D.
Calco completed our kitchen renovation which included new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and the installation of new appliances. Our overall experience was very positive. The quality of work and attention to detail that Jerod and Mike provided while on site was superior. They were incredibly friendly and respectful of our home. It truly was a pleasure having them around during our four week project. Jerod did a fantastic job communicating with us throughout the duration of the project to ensure we were on the same page and our expectations were being met. I would welcome Jerod and Mike back into my home for future projects without hesitation. Thank you for my beautiful kitchen!
Eileen M.
Ed and Pierce came to remodel our bathroom, the installed a new shower, vanity, flooring, towel bars, toilet paper holder and painted. They did a very good job and would highly recomend.
Patty P.
Darryl & Bryce from CalCo have been here every day this week putting in a new bathroom for us. They were here first thing every morning. Loved their communication. They kept us in the loop on their progress & pulled us in if there were any questions.
We joked with them about being "the Dream Team", but it's seriously no joke...they ARE the Dream Team. Their attention to detail was impressive. We have a 100-year-old house so it comes with its challenges & they used their craftsmanship to crush every hurdle. For example, they created a section of molding to match the existing crown molding because, they simply don't make ours anymore. It's a perfect match.
I cannot wait for the next home project, because we know we'll be calling the Dream Team.
Thank you Darryl & Bryce for taking your time & giving us exactly what we wanted!
We are thrilled with our new bathroom!!

We had a great experience with Calco Design LLC for our tub to walk-in shower conversion. Josh and Mickey were very responsive to our inputs and made sure we were happy with the end result.

Master craftsmen, very knowledgeable & personable. What a team! Constant communication with us concerning project status & any concerns we may have. Daily clean up outstanding. Thank you so much Calco. We are very happy!
Coleen K.
We just had extensive renovations to both our upstairs and downstairs bathrooms. Ed and Pierce did an outstanding job. Ed went above and beyond to make a difficult design challenge work in the downstairs bathroom and all three gentlemen (including Neal) battled heat and tight spaces to make our dream of a walk-in, doorless, rain shower work in our upstairs bathroom. They were polite, respectful of our property, and very willing to answer any questions and concerns that we had. We couldn't be happier with their work.
Brandon T.
We couldn’t have asked for a better team. Caleb and Noah were personable , efficient and wonderful. The area was clean and done excellent. We will use them again with no hesitation! -Jill

We recently had to renovate our shower due to an emergency and Calco helped to make the process as easy and streamlined as possible. When we sat down to plan our new shower, everything was listed in front of us to pick from pretty quickly. They were knowledgeable about the materials and helped with recommendations. When it came time for the renovation, Mickey and Josh were great at ensuring quality work was performed. They made sure to keep us involved and updated every step of the way and explain everything they were doing. Our finished shower looks fantastic and we now have a better piece of mind.
John P.
I hired Calco design to renovate my shower! Mickey and Josh were very kind, clean, and professional. They completed my shower in 2 days and made sure my shower was handicap accessible! Calco and their team did a great job and I am very pleased!
Michael M.
Jerod and Mike completed the renovation/expansion of our new master bathroom. My wife and I are extremely thrilled with the result. The installation team kept us informed of the progress of the project and put in extra effort to make sure the project was completed to the highest standard within the established time frame. We will definitely be requesting bids from Calco for future planned home renovations.

We desired to convert our tile walk in shower to a shower / tub combination. Brandon visited our home to assess the project and presented us with multiple options to best fit our needs. He was timely, professional, and personable. CalCo offered the highest quality materials of the comparable competition, and gave us a level of comfort moving forward with this extensive project. We look forward to the quality install and execution phase of this project.

Installation Update: Mickey and Josh were an excellent crew. They were timely, professional, and personable. The work that they performed exceeded our expectations. We are extremely satisfied.
Monika H.
(Revised from original) We had a full bathroom renovation. From the quote and design process to the finished construction, this was the most painless construction we have ever been through. Mickey and Josh who did the project, were very communicative, on time, included me on all decisions or even minimal changes/adjustments that needed to be made. For all the dust and disruption that is unavoidable, they kept everything very clean. Cannot say enough good things about them. I would highly recommend Calco and plan to use them again in the future. Even my dogs loved them!
Danielle H.
We needed to update our hallway bathroom badly due to leakage into our kitchen. Darryl and Bryce were assigned to our project. They were prompt, personable, neat (cleaned up every day), and answered any questions we had when asked. New shower looks great. Thank you.
Ridgewood Shiloh S.
I am thrilled with my new kitchen! Valerie is a ray of sunshine and was so very helpful every time I called. Val hooked me up with her husband Tim who was very professional and got us scheduled in a timely manner. Andrew, Wendel and Bryce (one day with Mike) did all of the work. Total gut job, redesign (Paul), and brand new kitchen. Everyone very pleasant, respectful of us and our home-answered a million and one questions from us constantly.
Cleaned up construction mess every single day when completed the days work. I could not be happier with my new kitchen and highly recommend this company. Christi Yonavick

What Are the Signs It’s Time for a Tub-to-Shower Conversion?

Deciding when to replace your bathtub with a shower often comes down to lifestyle, safety, and style. If your current setup no longer fits your needs, a conversion can provide comfort, functionality, and peace of mind. Below are some of the most common signs homeowners notice before making the switch.

Difficulty Getting In and Out of the Tub

Safety is often the number one reason people consider a bathtub-to-shower conversion in Reading, PA, especially as mobility changes with age. Stepping over a high tub wall can increase the risk of falls or injuries. A low-threshold walk-in shower creates a safer, more convenient option while maintaining comfort and modern design.

Over time, tubs can become stained, cracked, or outdated, making the entire bathroom feel dull and less inviting. Beyond appearance, a damaged tub may be harder to clean and even lead to hidden moisture problems. Converting to a shower not only solves these issues but instantly updates your space with a sleek, fresh look.

Many homeowners find that their bathtubs take up unnecessary square footage, leaving the bathroom feeling cramped. Replacing the tub with a streamlined shower makes the room appear larger and more open, creating a more comfortable and functional environment. For smaller homes in Reading, this change can make a significant impact on daily comfort and design.

Scrubbing grout lines, soap scum, and hard-to-reach corners in a tub can become exhausting over time. A shower designed with smooth, low-maintenance surfaces dramatically reduces cleaning efforts and stays looking fresh with less work. This not only saves time but also makes your bathroom a healthier, more enjoyable space for the whole family.

Bathrooms should reflect how you live, not just how they look. If long soaks are no longer part of your routine, it may be time for a bathroom tub-to-shower conversion in Reading, PA, that supports your lifestyle. Quick, refreshing showers offer practicality and efficiency while still giving you a stylish, updated bathroom environment.

Planning ahead is an important consideration for many homeowners. A shower with a low threshold or barrier-free entry ensures safety and accessibility as you age or if your needs change. Making the switch today means you can continue enjoying your bathroom with confidence, convenience, and comfort for many years to come.

What Are the Benefits of a Converting Your Tub to a Shower?

Making the switch from a tub to a shower is about more than just looks—it’s about convenience, safety, and long-term value. Homeowners often find that this single upgrade completely transforms the way they use and enjoy their bathrooms. Here are some of the biggest benefits.

Improved Accessibility and Safety

For many households, accessibility is a major reason to make the change. A tub-to-shower conversion in Reading, PA, eliminates the need to step over a high tub wall, reducing the risk of slips and falls. With options like low-threshold entries and built-in seating, showers offer a safer, more comfortable bathing experience for everyone.

Showers often take up less room than bulky bathtubs, making them perfect for smaller bathrooms or for homeowners who want to create a more open layout. By freeing up valuable square footage, a shower can make the entire bathroom feel larger, brighter, and more functional—an especially welcome improvement in compact Reading homes.

Maintaining a tub can be time-consuming, with grout, corners, and textured surfaces that hold onto dirt and soap scum. A modern shower system is designed with easy-to-clean materials that resist buildup. This means less scrubbing, a fresher appearance, and more time spent enjoying your bathroom instead of constantly maintaining it.

Bathroom updates are among the most valuable renovations you can make. Buyers today often prefer stylish, practical showers over traditional tubs, especially in master bathrooms. Tub-to-shower conversions in Reading, PA, not only enhance your day-to-day living but can also improve resale value by making your home more appealing to future buyers.

Upgrading to a shower instantly brings a more contemporary look to your bathroom. From sleek glass doors to custom tile and beautiful fixtures, you’ll have countless options to match your personal style. This design flexibility allows you to create a bathroom that feels fresh, modern, and perfectly suited to your taste.

Showers today can be tailored to your exact needs with features like rainfall showerheads, handheld sprayers, and even built-in shelving. These options provide daily convenience and luxury, turning your shower into more than just a necessity—it becomes a personalized experience. This level of customization makes the upgrade both functional and enjoyable.
