From Prep Work to One-Day Tub-to-Shower Conversions: A Week in the Life at ReCreate Life Handyman
Running a local business means keeping a lot of moving parts in motion, and today was a perfect example of the team firing on all cylinders.
My second assistant handyman, Joshua, joined me on-site to cut Albert and Martha’s lawn and give their entire home a deep, professional pressure wash. While we were tackling the dirt and grime, my first assistant, Timothy, was holding things down and running the day-to-day operations over at Butterfly Coffee.
The Secret to a Perfect Paint Job
Getting the house pressure washed wasn't just about making it look clean for the weekend—it’s actually phase one of our next project. Early Monday morning, Timothy and I will be heading back to Albert and Martha’s to paint their fascia trim.
If you're planning an exterior paint project, never skip the wash! Prepping the surface with a thorough pressure washing removes oxidation, dirt, and mildew, which helps the new paint adhere perfectly and prevents peeling down the road.
Upgrading for Accessibility: The One-Day Shower Install
Once the paint is dry, we are moving inside for a project we are incredibly excited about: converting Albert and Ruth's traditional bathtub into a modern, accessible walk-in shower.
Lately, we’ve seen a massive trend with baby boomers looking for safer, more manageable ways to shower without the hassle and risk of stepping over a high tub wall. To solve this, we are installing a new Castico Shower kit sourced from Home Depot.
Here is why we love these specific systems:
The Look of Real Stone: They use gorgeous, prefabricated composite panels that give you the high-end look of natural stone without the weight or maintenance.
Minimal Disruption: Because the system is engineered for efficiency, we can complete a full transformation in a single day.
Get Your Bathroom Back Fast: Traditional tile jobs can leave your home a construction zone for a week or more. With this approach, we get in, do the job right, and get out of your way in just 24 hours.
