Walk-In Tub & Shower Conversion for Hickory homes
Newer homes north and east of Hickory often have primary baths with a garden tub that gets little use.
That space can become a large tiled walk-in shower with glass, a bench and a low entry, depending on the floor structure and drain location.
These describe Hickory housing, not past BathPeak jobs. BathPeak's general walk-in shower range is $8,991–$14,991, and you get one written package price with the full scope of work.

What a walk-in shower conversion in Hickory includes
Tile or solid-surface walls
Porcelain tile, large-format panels or low-maintenance solid surface, whichever fits your cleaning tolerance and budget.
Bench, niche and bars
Built-in seating, recessed niches at the right height, and ADA-rated grab bars anchored into real blocking.
Valve, glass and trim
A pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve, handheld on a slide bar, and glass measured after tile so it fits the room as built.
Tub and surround removal
The old tub, wall surround and any rotted backer come out, with the alcove opened up so the framing can be inspected.
Framing and blocking
Studs corrected where needed, plus solid blocking for grab bars, a bench and the glass panel before anything gets closed in.
Pan and drain
A sloped, properly bonded shower pan with the drain relocated or resized as required, then a flood test before tile.
