We had a tricky project (turning a large walk-in shower into a wet-room style bath and shower combo) and the process was still very easy! Our craftsmen Ed and Josh were both phenomenal, not just doing great work but also being kind and personable (my toddlers were both huge fans!). Val is a dream as well, communicating in a timely and direct manner. Even as far back in our project as our initial appointment was memorable, Neill was pleasant and informative!

Sales consultation was handled very well and Daniel was very responsive and helpful. Sample contract was shared ahead of time and the guarantee they offered was excellent. Once contracted, staff was consistently in touch. A couple small glitches around scheduling but we didn't have to wait long. Installation of walk-in shower went well with team of Tim and Dakota. Took a second day and required them to come back a week later to patch up some damaged walls and flooring. But their follow-up work was also very professional.

We have been extremely impressed with the team at Calvin, from the salesman, to the installation team of Matt Pierce and Anthony and even the office assistant , Christie, who kept was informed weekly and asked if we were satisfied the workmanship of the bathrooms are super! Matt and Anthony were very professional and asked questions through the projects. Our shower was enlarged and it look like it was always that way only much nicer! The other project invoked repealing a tub with a shower and it also turned out wonderful. I would definitely recommend Calco and our team of Matt Pierce and Anthony !!!

I honestly don’t have the words to describe not only how thrilled I am with our new bathroom….but how amazed I still am at the Professionalism, Work ethic, Proficiency, And kindness of the whole crew from top to bottom. These guys were in and out in 4 1/2 days- and we had a WHOLE bathroom remodel. I kept thinking during the process, Man, these guys are like machines (They rarely ever take a break) …. Or maybe they are robots. Hahahaha! I know that this sounds extreme, But I’m not exaggerating- At every step of the way, they were wonderful. I am so glad that we chose Calco, And we will be using them again. If you are on the fence- do it!! I can promise you will not be disappointed!!!!

My name’s Zac Jack. I’m a doughy, 37 year old stand-up comedian, and I’ve been a stay-at-home dad since emo was a thing, so when my bathroom finally started to literally melt under the strain of my utter incompetence when it comes to general maintenance, I threw up my hands and started looking for a grown-up to help me un-melt it. I went through a few companies gathering quotes for an entire bathroom remodel and rebuild; I even got messages from the company that had previously done “work” on the bathroom (that’s a hard pass from me, Bath Fitter), and it was looking grim. Have you priced things lately? Especially quality things... I mean, yikes. Enter CalCo. So first thing they did was send someone to do an initial assessment and give us a quote. The quote they gave me was, by orders of magnitude lower than the next lowest. That’s check one. Then they gave us our options. Quality, construction grade materials (not just the lick-and-stick plastic and rubber that SOME companies use, cough cough... Bath Fitter), and in a variety of styles that had options to appeal to both me (I’m tasteless white trash), and my wife (she has extraordinary taste... in decor, not men). There’s check two. Then the work started. Now, I’m an advocate for taking one’s time and doing it right, whatever the schedule. But the choice between expedience and precision craftsmanship was not an issue at all: not only was the crew they sent lickity-split on the job (Shout out my dudes Noah, Mike, Matt, and Jared), but they did incredible, professional work that I am honestly very, very impressed by. (SHOUT OUT MY DUDES NOAH, MIKE, MATT, AND JARED). And there’s the hat trick, because that’s a big ol’ Texas sized CHECK. They took care of everything, and as one room affected the next, they just kept going, kept fixing, kept it moving. And that’s to say nothing about the bathroom itself: it looks BALLER, y’all. It’s now my favorite room in the house, and that’s not just because I have the diet of a possum with access to a credit card. They did amazing work. So, in the interest of brevity, here’s my short review of CalCo: They crushed it. Then they rebuilt it better than ever. 10/10. Hire them when you need your house un-melted. I’m gonna hire them again for the next project, which I’m already planning.

My old bathroom needed to be updated. Calco proposed a very reasonable and attractive plan that I accepted. I am so happy with the finished result. My construction crew were Mickey and Josh. I can’t praise them enough. They are so skilled, so nice, so professional. They addressed every unexpected issue that came up. They did everything - demolition, installment, plumbing, electrical work, painting. They came up with novel solutions to make sure every detail was addressed to our satisfaction. Calco is a company that shows up on time, stays on the job until it’s finished, has top-notch contractors. They made sure to protect the surrounding floors and rooms from any dust and dirt. At the end of the day they cleaned up spotlessly. There are many horror stories out there of remodeling gone wrong. With this company, and especially with Mickey and Josh, you can have complete confidence and guarantee that you will be 100% satisfied. A shoutout to Kristy who is the best contact person. TY!!!!!

We would recommend CALCO for your bathroom renovations. Our craftsmen, Mello and Mike, did a great job converting our tub into a walk-in shower, as well as updating our vanity, flooring, and lighting. Their attention to detail and quality workmanship really showed throughout the project. They provided excellent communication regularly letting us know what was going on and what to expect. Whenever any issues arose, they were quick to find effective solutions with minimal disruption to the work. They also kept our home clean during every phase of the renovation, which helped ensure there was very little impact on our day-to-day routine. Kristi was also wonderful to work with—she checked in regularly from the time we signed the contract, throughout the project, and even after completion to make sure all our questions were answered and everything was running smoothly. The pricing was comparable to the other estimates we received, but CALCO’s service was significantly better. Overall, a very positive experience from start to finish.

We can highly recommend Calco Design LLC. We had a complete master bathroom renovation from the subfloor to some ceiling work. Brand new subfloor, floor boards, toilet, vanity, electrical - top to bottom. The project included the removal of a storage closet that expanded our standup shower into a beautiful masterpiece. Mickey and Josh were both professional and timely, and they included us throughout the process. We will be using Calco for future projects based on this experience, and we will ask for Mickey and Josh where possible.

My parents had a project planned to replace the vanity tops and fixtures in 4 bathrooms, and renovate the shower in the master. My father passed away unexpectedly 2 weeks before the project start date. The team at Calco could not have been more understanding and kind about the situation. My mom keeps a spotless house and we were both impressed at the measures taken to limit the dust and protect the floors and furniture. The bathrooms look beautiful, the craftsmanship is impeccable. There were some miscommunications around scheduling, but the team at Calco made it right as soon as they were alerted. There will be hiccups with any renovation project, how the contractors handle it is the most important. The Calco team made a difficult situation as easy as it could be, and now my mom has beautiful updated bathrooms to bring her some joy.

We had our Master bath completely renovated. We were able to pick out everything we wanted in one meeting. The team began the project at the estimated timeframe and completed only one day past the estimate. This was expected since we did make a couple of changes along the way. The team was very careful with our home, draping every and cleaning and vacuuming up before they left each night. The quality of the material was superior and we are thrilled with our finished bathroom. The project was not cheap, but the quality of the materials and the team that did the work reflected the value of the project

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.

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.

How Much Does a Tub-to-Shower Conversion Cost?

Pricing depends on factors like bathroom size, chosen materials, and the complexity of the project. Extras such as high-end fixtures, unique tile work, or built-in shelving can add to the investment but also enhance long-term value.

Most standard conversions can be completed in just 1 to 2 days. This includes demolition, prep work, installation, and finishing touches. Projects with custom designs, plumbing updates, or specialty features may take a bit longer, but our team works efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.
