Tub-to-Shower Conversions & Shower Replacement in Jim Thorpe, PA
Jim Thorpe homes range from historic row homes in town, where bathrooms are tight and stairways narrow, to vacation homes around Lake Harmony, Albrightsville and Penn Forest Township. 1st Addition Remodeling installs BestBath tub and shower systems sized to the room you have. Panels are measured for your space and brought in through normal doorways, and most installs take as little as one day.

Fitting a new shower into Jim Thorpe-area homes
- Tight, older bathrooms: We measure the space and choose a base and wall system made for it. That's often the best way to gain room in a small historic-home bath.
- Vacation and rental homes: Around Lake Harmony and the Penn Forest communities, a grout-free acrylic shower cuts maintenance between guests and resists mold in homes that sit closed up between stays.
- Accessible showers: Low-threshold and curbless options, built-in seats and grab bars help homeowners stay comfortable in the homes they love.
