Bathroom remodeling: an investment for your home

A completely remodeled and modernized bathroom not only enhances your home environment and lifestyle, it also increases the value of the home. Tropical Plumbing and Bath president Charlie Beeck, a Building Industry Association Remodeler of the Year, noted that, “With the aging of the baby boomer generation and prevalence of multi-generational households, people are looking to the future in terms of safety and convenience as well as preserving their most important asset in optimum condition.”

Beeck pointed out that his company is a specialist in age-friendly bathroom design and fixtures, such as walk-in bathtubs and showers. Replacing old-fashioned stall showers with large, open walk-in showers has become one of Tropical’s most frequently requested installations, both for multi-generational homes and for clients who anticipate “aging in place.”

“There is really no limit to what can be designed and installed, once we assess the existing plumbing and provide a plan for the new installation,” Beeck said. “Some walk-in showers are simple enclosures with fixtures and a bench, often constructed with tile and left completely open on one side with no barrier. Deluxe walk-in showers enclosed with glass, with windows open to a view, benches, and multiple shower heads are specified today in high-end homes and apartments. Our experienced designers and plumbers work as a team to ensure that the installation is both aesthetically and operationally successful.”

Tropical Plumbing and Bath is a two-time first place winner of Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s “Hawaii’s Best” awards. One of the great advantages of working with this award-winning company is that they handle all phases of the project from sales and design to installation, including the plumbing required for the new fixtures.
