Walk-In Tubs
Robert D.

One of the main reasons for getting the Kohler walk-in tub was that a reputable company such as Kohler selected Home Smart as only 1 of 23 authorized Kohler installers in the United States, which is an honor for a distinct few companies. Quality, quality, quality. That's the name of the game in my business decisions and our two installers, Roy and Mike certainly carried on with the quality theme by their careful planning of the day's job ahead of them and persevered all day long until everything was installed, explained, and area cleaned. If I had a business, I would want these two guys working for me. Thanks for a great install.

Walk-In Tubs
Neil W.

Roy and Mike are the nicest, most helpful, professional, honest, skilled workers I've ever had work on my home (and with my old house, that's a lot of people). They showed up on time and explained everything they were going to do and why. The work was done fast and correctly. I had a walk-in tub, a sub panel, and a tank booster installed. They asked if I needed anything as they worked. Before they left Roy made sure I was 100% comfortable with my tub and how it works. He gave me honest tips he has learned from his experience installing these tubs. When they left the bathroom was cleaner than when they started. Great job! The tub itself is great. I have psoriasis and arthritis and between the heat and bubbles, both problems get relief. Before this tub I only was able to shower once a week and had to have my wife help me due to having poor balance while standing in the shower. Now I can shower and bathe daily in safety on my own.
