Love my new shower stall! Kudos to my expert installer Jerry (& his team)! Took my 1970s bathtub & plastic surround with ADA grab bars to a chic & modern Jacuzzi brand HAVEN by installing: **a floor pan much larger than the old tub's dimensions; **3 panels styled to replicate subway tile; **stunning, barn style sliding glass shower doors; **a permanent & sturdy Teak fold down seat (may come in handy); **matte black hardware including shower head, drain & faucet; **12" matte black grab bar; **surface shelf/grab bar (to house smaller items & provide standing assistance); **sunken shelving for my personal industrial sized grooming products. Jerry consulted with me throughout the day but most especially about the placement of specific features. For my sunken matte black shelfing, we agreed it should be placed on the far back wall - because above the bench would be awkward when the bench is in use. Under the shower head & faucet would be a far reach from the bench so the back wall it was! The larger sized sunken shelf size houses my taller personal grooming/cleaning products. Namely: shampoo, conditioner, body wash, & baby oil. The shelves hold all of the above comfortably, & even allow for multiple types of soaps & conditioners. Afterall, women like choices & variety! We consulted on the placement of the surface shelf/grab bar too. While many would have stationed it at waist level, I chose to have it placed lower down the back wall since, at a higher position, I already have great access to typical shower items. While it is decorative, it's also practical in that it houses smaller shower items such as a bar of soap & soap dish, razor, foot file/pumice stone. What made most sense is that, when using the drop seat, I have use of a multi-use grab bar that will help me stand up from a sitting position. Makes perfect sense to present day me & seems logical for future me. Well planned! We next discussed the positioning of the 12" grab bar. Since so much was on the back wall & because I adore my newly claimed shower size, I didn't want to congest the area. I concocted the idea to station the 12" grab bar on the wall with the drop seat but instead of inside the shower, just outside the shower doors. In my opinion, inside the shower would have been overkill & seemingly unsightly. It's positioned so that stepping out of the shower is safer &, in that it's close enough to the drop seat, I can comfortably reach it while standing. Lastly, Jerry replaced my copper pipes with pvc pipes which I believe is less toxic/more healthy for anyone TBT. American Bath is a good company that's been around for many years. They did a great job training Jerry & his team. They even gave me my copper pipes back (its got value!). It seems the financing thru Upgrade will be a positive experience as well! Overall I'd give American Bath 2 thumbs up for a great job done well! Please excuse me now! My new shower awaits me!

My wife and I are truly pleased on our new walk in shower. American Home Design couldn't have sent a better team to do our installation. Spencer McNabb and his team were extremely professional and exceptionally personable. My wife felt very comfortable with them in the house. Spencer and his team were on time and got right to work. He didn't hesitate to answer each of my many questions. Thanks Spencer for a truly professional job.
