Tub to Shower Conversions for Orchards homes
Orchards is a patchwork of 1960s-80s homes filling the east-county grid, mixed with steadier newer development toward the Columbia. The older homes — many near Fircrest and the Fourth Plain corridor — still carry original tile and a tub that's shown its age, so a conversion here often turns into a fuller overhaul: new surround, rebuilt waterproofing, and a layout that finally works for the household. The newer pockets of Orchards and Sifton have more recent builder-grade combos, where converting to a shower is a cleaner, more contained upgrade. The range of housing ages across Orchards means we scope every conversion around the specific decade the bathroom was built in.

What affects cost in Orchards
Honest pricing, no guesswork
In the older Fircrest and Fourth Plain-area homes, cost often includes addressing dated tile and waterproofing behind the tub, while newer Sifton-area conversions tend to be more predictable swaps focused on finishes.

Orchards questions, answered
Frequently asked
- Our Fircrest-area home has original 1970s tile around the tub — should we expect surprises once it comes out?
- It's common to find outdated waterproofing or minor moisture issues once original tile from that era comes off, since the materials and installation standards were different then. We address anything we find as part of the conversion rather than tiling over it.
- Is a tub-to-shower conversion simpler in the newer parts of Orchards near Sifton?
- Generally, yes — newer construction usually has sound plumbing and waterproofing already in place, so the project is mostly tub removal, a new shower pan, and updated glass and tile rather than corrective work.
