Planning a shower or tub upgrade and feeling a bit lost in the options? Between national brands, regional dealers, and local specialists, it can be hard to know who’s really right for a simple wet-area remodel and who is trying to sell you a whole-bath overhaul you don’t actually want.
You’re not alone. Many Pittsburgh homeowners just want to update the space they use every day, the shower or tub area, without tearing their entire bathroom apart. It can feel a lot like shopping for a whole new car when all you really needed was a safer, smoother set of tires.
That’s where Joyce comes in.

We’re used to working in real homes with real schedules and budgets, so our process is built around helping you upgrade the area you use daily without overcomplicating the project.
This guide keeps the focus exactly where you are: a wet-area remodel. It gives you a clear, apples-to-apples way to compare companies and materials, and highlights several bath remodelers Pittsburgh homeowners commonly consider, including Joyce Windows, Sunrooms & Baths.

How to Compare Bath Companies
Think of your research as measuring each company with the same tape measure. To keep things fair and transparent, ask about the same key areas every time:
- Scope
Confirm they specialize in wet-area projects only, and what is included in that scope.
(demo, disposal, plumbing adjustments, glass, accessories). - Materials
Ask what type of wall system and base they use
- Acrylic, composite, or solid-surface
-
- Panel thickness
- Seams and how the waterproofing works
- Maintenance and cleaning expectations
- Panel thickness
- Who Installs the Project
- Employee crews (W-2) or subcontractors
- Training, certifications, and who supervises the job
- Employee crews (W-2) or subcontractors
- Warranty Clarity
- Product warranty in writing
- Labor/installation warranty in writing
- Who do you call if there is an issue later
- Product warranty in writing
- Timeline and Speed
- Time from measure to installation, once materials are ready
- How many days will the crew be in your home
- Time from measure to installation, once materials are ready
- Financing and Budget
- Financing options
- Final, all-in price for the wet area
- What is included, so you are not surprised later

Pro Tip: Write down the answers for each company so you can compare them side by side and choose the best balance of durability, look, maintenance, and budget.
