Lehigh Valley, since 2014
Tub-to-shower conversions, low-curb showers and grab bars for Allentown and Bethlehem homes. Dale Brenner and his crew of two do the whole job, plumbing included, for one written price.
“Mom showers on her own again. Dale’s crew was in on Monday and done by Friday.”
Prices are for a standard 5 ft alcove in Lehigh Valley homes, installed, with plumbing, permit and haul-away. You get the exact number at the visit.
The one most people call about. The tub comes out, the drain moves, and you step into a shower with a 2 inch curb or none at all.
For a stand-up shower that leaks, has a cracked pan or moldy grout. We take it back to the studs and build it again properly.
For families who still want a tub for the kids. A new soaking tub, tiled walls, and a grab bar where an adult can reach it.
Dale is a Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist. These add-ons go into any project, or on their own in an afternoon.
Answer three questions. It is the same short list Dale goes through on the phone.
Our suggestion
You still want a tub, and the walls need fixing. We replace the tub and build a new waterproofed surround.

My husband uses a walker since his hip surgery. The new shower has no curb at all and a seat, and he can manage on his own now. They also fixed a soft spot in the floor and only charged what the quote said it would cost.
Dale was the only one of three companies who did not try to sell us an acrylic liner. Real tile, real waterproofing, five days like he said.
Our shower pan had been leaking into the kitchen ceiling for who knows how long. They found the rot, showed us, fixed it, and the new shower is lovely.
Dale Brenner spent eleven years as a plumber before he started doing showers full time in 2014. He still does the plumbing on every job himself. Marcus sets the tile, Eli handles demo, glass and cleanup, and Dale’s sister Jen runs the office from the Tilghman Street shop.
We do one bathroom at a time, which is why we can promise five days. If we start your job on Monday, we are not leaving it on Wednesday for somebody else’s.
Most of our jobs are within 15 minutes of the shop on Tilghman Street. We go as far as Easton and Nazareth for a full conversion, at no extra trip charge.
The questions people ask Dale at the kitchen table.
For a standard 5 ft tub alcove, yes, in most houses. If we find rot or old cast-iron drains that need replacing, we tell you that day and it may add one day.
No. We take everything out to the studs and build a waterproofed shower. Liners trap water behind them, and we replace a lot of them.
Medicare does not cover bathroom changes. Some veterans qualify for a VA HISA grant, and Lehigh County has a home repair program for seniors. We help with the paperwork.
When we move a drain or a valve, yes. We pull the City of Allentown or township permit and meet the inspector. It is in the price.
We cover the path from your door with floor protection, hang a zip wall, run an air scrubber during demo and vacuum every afternoon.
We do that too. Grab bars go in from $195 each, and we anchor them into studs or blocking, never just into drywall anchors.
Dale comes to your house, measures, and gives you a written price before he leaves. It takes about 45 minutes. No pressure, no “today only” discount.
Most quotes are booked within the week. Dale answers his own phone from 7 to 9 am.
