Traci Lives Outside The Orange County Area,
But That Didn’t Stop Us From Meeting Her
Vital Need For A Great Bath Remodel
EGM’s Pros Created The Ideal Shower
Conversion For Her Aging Mother
At EGM (Envision Great Memories) Construction, we specialize in affordable, high-quality bathroom remodeling for Orange County and nearby locations. But every once in a while, we tackle projects a bit further from home.
That was the case when we took on a high-priority shower conversion for San Diego resident Traci S.
Traci needed this conversion to support her elderly mother. Mobility limitations had turned bathing into a daily ordeal, and they were looking for a long-term solution that would make life much easier.
Financial setbacks caused Traci to delay the project.
But when she was ready, we took on every phase of it, both on-site and behind the scenes. In the end, she had a renewed, easy-access space that fit her mother’s needs to a tee.
Traci’s Initial Bathroom Remodeling Request
Traci initially contacted EGM quite some time ago. The reason for the call?
Her elderly mother, who lived with her, could no longer safely get in and out of the family tub/shower. As a result, they had to go through a drawn-out routine to get her situated in the tub so she could bathe.
To make things better for everyone, they wanted to convert their tub/shower into a walk-in shower complete with modern mobility aids.
Financial Issues Delay The Bathroom Makeover
Together with Traci, we designed a new shower layout that would solve all her problems. As with all our projects, our plan combined high-quality remodeling materials with an affordable price tag.
Traci was super-pleased with our approach. So, she paid her deposit, and we set a start date for the remodel.
However, before that date arrived, Traci experienced some setbacks. As a result, she wasn’t sure when she’d be able to move forward with her plans.
Were we worried? No. We told Traci that we’d be ready whenever she was.
Preparing For The Shower Conversion
It took a full year before Traci was in a position to start once again. True to our word, we were ready to go.
The first step was getting proper permitting for the project.
This is something we handle all the time here in our home base of Orange County. The procedure was a bit different in San Diego County. Still, we knew exactly what to do.
On Traci’s behalf, we went to the city and secured all the necessary paperwork. We also helped her schedule all required inspections.
Carrying Out Traci’s Bathroom Remodel
When all the preliminaries were done, it was time to focus on the remodel itself.
The plan first called for us to remove Traci’s old tub/shower unit. Then, we installed the new walk-in shower in what was essentially the same footprint.
In addition to its easy-access entry, this shower came with several key features.
First was a bench that ran along its entire back section. This would provide a safe, convenient spot for Traci’s mother to sit while bathing.
Next came two grab bars mounted at just the right height and distance to provide reliable mobility support.
Last, but far from least, was an adjustable hand-held shower head that Traci’s mother could reach from her seated position.
A Big Thumbs Up For Our Bath Remodel Results
What did Traci and her mother think of our bathroom remodeling efforts?
Their response as San Diego residents was the same as we get on projects throughout Orange County. In Traci’s own words:
“Literally everyone at EGM was not only professional but just genuinely kind and thoughtful. From the workers, to the ladies in the office to the owner, Edgar, top-notch all the way around. We are truly impressed by how everyone worked so well, and the process was seamless. It is evident that Edgar’s leadership trickles down to everyone in the company. God bless you all.”

Not only can Traci’s mother now bathe on her own. She can do so on her own schedule without relying on the availability of other family members.
It took longer than expected to get the project started. But everyone agreed that the outcome was more than worth it!
