Turn Your Ideas Into Reality

Make Space & Modernize with a Tub-to-Shower Conversion

If your bathtub sits mostly unused, Cyclone Contracting can help you make better use of that space. Many homeowners find that an old or oversized tub takes up valuable space, makes cleaning more frustrating, and doesn’t fit the way they actually use their bathroom. Converting that tub into a walk-in shower can make the room feel more open, more functional, and easier to navigate every day. It’s also a great way to update the space's look while improving comfort, accessibility, and overall convenience.

Our Proven Tub-to-Shower Process

Cyclone Contracting’s approach to tub-to-shower conversions has been shaped by decades of experience and a commitment to transparency at every step. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation & Design

We start by meeting with you in our showroom or at your home to talk through your goals, style preferences, and shower options. Then we create a custom plan and give you a clear, fixed-cost quote up front.

The team at Cyclone Contracting just finished up installing our new living room window and it looks amazing! Dave, Cody, Rodney and Hunter did amazing work, communicated great and treated our house like there own while they were here. Great experience!

Charlie H.

We had Cyclone Contracting do a bathroom remodel. There were some hiccups along the way, as in almost any construction project, and they were handled promptly and professionally. We love our new bathroom!

Jolene W.

We used Cyclone Contractors for the remodel of our bathroom and it was worth every penny. They worked hard to design a bathroom that was within our budget. It’s not only a beautiful bathroom but it’s functional for our lifestyle as well. Their team (subcontractors too) were all professional, responsive, and kind throughout the project.

Liz M.

Had my front porched remodeled by Cyclone Construction. The work they did was outstanding, and Nathan, Dave, Cody, and Milo were great to work with. Will definitely use them again if I've got any major remodeling work that I need to have done.

JR T.

We hired Cyclone Contracting to put up blinds in our sunroom and we couldn't be happier! Michelle came out and was a huge help with the selection. I couldn't have done it without her. They came in yesterday after only four weeks and Dan and DJ came out today for the installation. They were great and very knowledgeable about their product. Everyone was fantastic from start to finish!
