What Detroit bathrooms look like

Detroit homes are mostly 1920s to 1950s brick bungalows and colonials with basements and small bathrooms across Detroit and the inner ring, 1960s ranches in Warren and Livonia, and newer homes in Macomb and Oakland counties. That matters because the tub is chosen for the room as much as the bather: a standard 60 inch alcove takes the Hydro Dimensions 3060 or Ella Ultimate as a drop-in, a small bath takes the Ella Mobile, and a bathroom used from a wheelchair is usually better served by a Bestbath roll in shower. Basements make drain access easy and keep installs at one day, and Michigan's MI Choice waiver funds many of the modifications we install here.

Help paying for it in Detroit

• Veterans: the VA HISA grant, filed through the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center. Build the itemized estimate in four minutes with our planner.
• Medicaid waiver: Michigan's MI Choice waiver can fund environmental modifications; the Aging and Adult Services Agency and the sixteen Area Agencies on Aging, including the Detroit Area Agency on Aging and Area Agency on Aging 1-B in Oakland and Macomb, handle applications.
• Everyone: monthly financing, senior and veteran discounts on every order, and an itemized written price. Medicare rarely pays, and we say so up front.
• Local help: Detroit Area Agency on Aging and Area Agency on Aging 1-B is the front door for state and county programs.

Permits and code in Detroit

The Michigan Residential Code applies statewide with local enforcement; Detroit, Grand Rapids, Warren, Sterling Heights and most suburbs require a plumbing permit for a tub replacement and an electrical permit for a new circuit. Trades are state-licensed. Our crews pull what is required and install to the manufacturer's spec. Our showers are ADA and ANSI A117.1 code-compliant models when that is what the job calls for.

Walk in tub or roll in shower for a Detroit home?

About a third of Detroit families who call about a walk in tub end up with a roll in shower, and they are happier for it. If the bather can stand, step over six inches and pivot to sit, and someone in the house wants to soak, a walk in tub with a heated seat is the right buy. If the bather uses a wheelchair full time, a low-threshold shower with a fold-up seat is faster to use, easier for a caregiver, and no more expensive. The middle path is a walk in tub shower combo.

Why Detroit customers skip the TV brands

National brands quote $25,000 to $30,000 for a walk in tub installed in Detroit, and the price is set at your kitchen table after a three-hour presentation. The same class of tub, installed by factory-certified crews with a lifetime shell warranty, runs $15,000 to under $20,000 with us, itemized, with no visit. See the full price investigation →
