Bathtub to shower. The two gentlemen on my job were very friendly and professional at what they were doing. They were careful to clean up each day before they left. I was very impressed with the job they did and would be very happy to recommend your company.

My sister and I purchased a Walk-in Spa Tub last summer (2018). We had service out three times within a couple of months of install. The install was great. The service tech was respectful and did a great job. I was disappointed that the tub was not installed in the direction we asked for. I let that go. The work looked so good.
However, we still have a leak in the basement when showering and I have spent a month trying to get in touch with someone at Independent Home and they have not responded to me. I called last week and no one has called me back. The metal that the handle closes against has fallen off the tub and another metal part has come out of the bottom of the handle. Did I mention it still leaks downstairs when someone showers? Oh, and the water jets have not worked for months. Also, the metal shower rod that holds the hand-held unit for showering - is rusting and a rust stream is running down the rod onto the tub rim. Also, it looks like part of the tub finish is coming off the rim of the tub where you rest your hand/arms when in the bath. I do not recommend this company at all. They do not stand behind their work. I hope this review will get me a response from someone at Independent Home!

I have an elderly lady at my church who got a walk-in tub and it cost her 13,000. She said it was the most wonderful thing she has ever done. I have multiple cirrhosis. So, it's difficult for me to maneuver, walk around and get in and out the bathtub. I like to take a bath and my husband always likes to take a shower. We have a stand up shower and it got to be difficult. On occasions, I would have to have him lift my leg over the edge of the tub or out of the tub. So, we went looking at Lowe's or Menards. They have these nice big shower stalls and they weren’t all that expensive, but by the time we bought the door and everything, it was around $1,500. In the midst of looking at that, we came up on a walk-in tub at Menards and it was 39.99.
I had neuropathy in the feet and it may be good for my legs. The walk-in tub has got the water jets and everything. So, we started searching and typing in walk-in tub on the internet but nobody has any that you could look at. Home Depot and Lowe's sell them but nobody could tell you anything about them. You have to look it all up online. You also could not go to any store and look at one. So, I was typing in for there was some in Missouri and I came up with Independent Home. Ari was the first person I talked to. He was very nice and answered all my questions.
My husband put the tub in. He had to call and question some stuff, and whoever it was my husband talked to told him that these tubs are inspected when they go out of here. So, I'm gonna find out who inspected that tub because it was just in a little line that went from one of the water jets to the pump. My husband figured out what to do. I like my tub and it takes plenty of water. We had to replace our hot water heater, so I can't take that into cost consideration because I had to have it replaced anyway. So now, we're going to get one that just services that tub like a booster to it.

My wife saw an advertisement for walk-in bathtubs. We are getting old and we decided that it would be a good idea to get one. It would be easy to get in and out of. The installation team from Independent Home knew what they were doing. They were here all day but we got out of the way and let them do it. The tub worked out great as well as our experience.

I did an online search and Independent Home was the one that answered back. I had been looking into this for a while ‘cause I didn’t know if I wanted to do that or turn it into a handicap bath, and when I got to research it, they had the best prices compared to the other places. Purchasing was the easiest in the world. Everything was explained and they showed me videos. The installers knew what they were doing and did it in the amount of time they said they would do, and they didn’t miss cleaning up.
Because of the way my bathroom is laid out, I figured the tub for the door to open to where it wouldn’t bother the commode. I also got some lavender bath salts and it makes a difference. Bathing is so easy, in and out and there’s nothing to clean. You just rinse it out and you’re done. I would recommend anybody with issues of any kind to get one of Independent Home tubs ‘cause it's a lifesaver, especially if you’re going through physical therapy anywhere. You just sit in it, relax and you’re good to go.

I've been interested in a walk-in bathtub for a long time because I am no longer able to get out of a tub by myself. I am disabled, so I needed the walk-in tub for health reasons. The first gentleman I spoke with at Independent Home was a very nice man and was very congenial. He was very good about calling me back when I had a question. The installation of the walk-in bathtub went well. The general manager called me and he said that he had another tub that just came in. It was still in the crates and it would cost less. Although I can manage, my problem now is I am a little on the queen size, so I have a little problem getting the door shut because I need about another three inches wider. I am satisfied.

My wife has arthritis and I'd been thinking about getting a walk-in tub for a long time. I looked up Independent Home and I went with them since they make their own tubs locally in the States, and it's got a lifetime guarantee. The rep was really nice, but the price tag was pretty high at $11,000 each. Still, the installation guys did a very good job and cleaned up their mess. They were very nice and polite. I've already told their boss that he should give them a fair raise. We have two full baths so I got two tubs, and the ones I got have bubbles. We both use them and they work well.

I got several quotes from different walk-in tub manufacturers several years ago. I didn't decide to do anything back then but now that I am ready to get one, Independent Home came along. I then got my unit from them. The salesman I worked with was wonderful. He seemed very knowledgeable and his delivery was great. The installers who came to install the tub were very friendly and knew what they were doing. It took them three hours before they completed the job, but then I thought that it would take all day. Overall I'm very satisfied with the tub. It's everything I thought it is. I have arthritis and problems with my back, and it really helps.

I've been looking through the phone book and found Independent Home. I called them and the people there were friendly. However, the installer didn't complete the job and there are still some stuff that needs doing on it. When he did the caulking, he didn't caulk everything. The caulk in the door that goes at the side of it is already cracking. Somebody needs to come back. I've had them out here one time, but the tech didn't finish the job and left. My wife loves the tub, but I am very dissatisfied right now.

My wife was having some problems and I saw something on the internet about walk-in tubs, so I decided to get one. Independent Home was the first one that called me back and I had no problem with them. I had a few questions and they answered them. I purchased a tub and a shower and the installation team was good. They took about 4 hours and got things done. However, the dealer furnished me with a couple of broken pieces when they put it together, but then everything went well. I was also gonna call them about the handheld shower if they had one with a smaller grip on it since the grip on it is rather large. My wife has small hands and it's hard for her to hold onto it. I have one with a smaller grip but I don't know whether I should put it in without talking to them first or not.
The only thing I didn't like about the whole process was when we talked about financing. I was under the impression that they were gonna hold the paper themselves until I paid them off. I paid them $5,000 down, which was half of the amount, and they said I could have the other 5,000 for 18 months with zero interest. That was fine but I didn't know they were gonna send it to some Synchrony Bank or something like that. And I didn't like to deal with those guys. As soon as I opened it up, I see they charged 26.99% and that kinda sucked. I wasn’t paying any interest, but that's a horrible rate of interest to charge anybody for anything. I didn't even know about that until they sent me a credit card and I don't want any credit card from these people back in Florida. They also didn't wanna take no for an answer when I told them I didn't want the credit card.
So, I just went ahead and paid the whole thing off so I wouldn't have to mess with the bank. And I've been getting a thing in the email saying that my balance is paid so I'm good there. Still, I would have liked a little bit more transparency with the financing part. Other than that, our experience with Independent Home was good. They did what they said they were gonna do, when they said they were gonna do it. I would also recommend them.

Independent Home's tubs are outrageously expensive, but we couldn't seem to find anything and decided to just go with it. The installation was pretty good. The tub was put in very nice. It's very attractive. However, There were some people who didn’t agree with some people and the installer said one thing and we found out something else. I didn’t get everything as straight across as I thought I was going to get it. I was more confused at times than I needed to be. Maybe it's just because I'm up in years. But there was a little discrepancy here and there. We experienced a lot of concern and worry but there were some very good people there, especially the one who came here and introduced the tub to us. He tried to walk the last mile. Some people made me more comfortable than others and I liked them better.
The product is good. Some days, I can't use it because I have a few issues with my body. It's a benefit to have it and I wish my body would cooperate more. At the base of the tub, when you're in the bathroom and you look across where the tub is, I never realized that you had to leave a little space in there where it meets the floor. I don’t like insects, spiders and earwigs, and anything can crawl in there if it got under the house in the right place. I wouldn't do it over again because it was too big of an investment.

I'm getting older now and I slipped in the tub. It's funny because Independent Home had come out and talked to me and I haven’t decided. And then I went to take a shower and I dropped shampoo in the bottom of the tub. I slipped on it and the only thing that saved me from falling was one of these little cheap chairs that I put in my shower. That was God telling me I need to invest in something for my health. I received a phone call from Independent Home and the woman asked me if had I ever thought about getting a walk-in tub, and we started a conversation. Then she said she would send somebody out to show me the pictures and give me an idea of what was involved and the price. They weren’t pushy and they weren’t selling. They didn’t tell me to buy anything. She just told me what the product was and how long it would take them to install it.
I sat in my living room during the installation. My bathroom is upstairs and the installers were running up and down the stairs like crazy. I kept saying, "Can I see it?" "No, you can't see it yet." "Can I see it now?" "No, can't see it now." But they worked so fast and they were so sweet. Also, there wasn’t a speck of anything anywhere. One guy told me my hot water heater wasn’t big enough for the project. So, he came back in a couple of weeks, took me to Home Depot because I have no transportation, picked up a hot water heater and everything he needed and installed it for me. How many people are gonna come and take you to buy a product? He went way above and beyond.
I love the tub. It's a walk-in tub with the jets, and it has a shower and with the shower chair. It's like a sit-in shower that you take a bath in. I've taken a couple of Epsom salts baths in it which were very enjoyable. I mostly use the shower section that I love because it's mounted on the wall, and you can slide it up and down. I'm happy.

We've got arthritis in our knees and back, and we thought a walk-in tub might help. They're mighty expensive, but we went ahead and did it. Somebody from Independent Home came up here, showed us all that stuff and talked to us. I don't know if he was pulling our leg or what. He said he invented all of the walk-in tubs then other people bought them and put their names on them. But he was a talker. That's for sure. As for the installation, they did a good job. It was an all-day job because they had to take our old tub out. They also had to take the door facing down to get it through the door. But they fixed everything back to how it's supposed to be.
We haven't got to really use the tub like we want to because we gotta get a bigger water heater. We run out of hot water so we haven't been able to fill the tub up completely and sit it in. I can get it up to about knee-high sitting down and then we start running out of hot water. We had told Independent Home how big the water tank was and they said it might or might not be big enough. But I run a lot of water to get hot water to the kitchen, which is on the other end of the house upstairs. So we're gonna get a 50-gallon tank.

Independent Home's installers were very courteous and our interaction was very professional. Our tub has little holes and the bigger holes for the jets. Also, it has a wave-action splash. The tub seems to be good except that the seat is a little uncomfortable. We just put down a hand towel to sit on. Also, we experience some trouble with not having enough hot water to fill the tub.

My tub was tall and I was going to have to replace the stuff around it anyway so something new needed to be done. I talked to Independent Home earlier and they came to me. Their customer service reps were all very nice as well as the guy who installed the walk-in bathtub. I couldn’t ask for a more polite guy. The installation took three days altogether. The situation was a little bit different because he had to get some parts, then he had some problems and I wasn’t gonna be able to be home, so we couldn't finish it until the next week. But it was fine. I liked the grab bar, but if I was redoing it, I would put them a little bit differently. Also, if you don’t have a bath mat down and once the soap gets on there, it gets slick so it’s dangerous. Still, I would recommend Independent Home.

I was looking for a walk-in tub. I wanted one due to medical reasons. I looked at different models and I liked a unit from Independent Homes. It has what I consider a good lifetime warranty. I also liked the position of its handles, how its door worked, the number of its jets and the air in the outputs, and that it fits. I bought the tub and the purchasing process was easy. They provided me with everything that I requested for prior to signing the contract, which included a certificate of insurance. That was a little difficult as it had to come from their corporate office.
I noted in the contract that if that was not satisfactory, the contract was not to be held up. When I got the certificate, I was satisfied with it. The transaction I had with Independent Home was better than anyone else that I have talked to and I was happy with it. I was also happy with the installation of the tub and I was impressed with the team that came. There was one team that worked on the demolition in my bathroom and another one did the installation.

It would be easier to get in and out of the tub than having to step over a jacuzzi and get in. The walk-in tub that I got didn’t have a big shower, but I can shampoo my hair while I’m sitting there. It’s convenient for me because it fits in where the jacuzzi was. You sit down, you turn the water on and before you know it, you’re ready to bathe. It also dispenses out quickly.
I love the tub. It doesn’t leak and I had plenty of room at the end to build a little cabinet where I can put towels. The only downside was when the tub was completely installed, there seemed to be a lot of cool air. We tried to put a lot of insulation underneath and that helped. Also, the customer service hasn't called to ask me if I liked it. That would've been nice. There were a few things that I thought they could’ve done differently. And fortunately, I had a person that finished it off. If I was talking to somebody and they were looking at my tub, I would tell them all the good things about it. But I would also tell them to be very careful when they’re talking with them to be sure that they’re completely satisfied when they leave because they won’t hear from them again.

My bath tub and counter top were removed and replaced in 2 days. The work crew were very courteous and efficient. Our drain pipe was not placed correctly but the 2 men took care of the problem very nicely. They had to drill the cement and change water pipes in order for the placement of the shower drain opening to fit. I was pleased with their workmanship.

My wife, who is 70 years old wanted a tub. Although her doctor was concerned that the strong jets can hurt and bring damage to elderly skin, she wanted it to shoot out water. And so we looked for ones that were more air jets. We considered a couple of other companies but the price was a bit more than what we wanted to spend. And when the salesman from Independent Home had left, I read through the ad and found they had veterans' discount, and they were more than happy to apply that to the price after we negotiated. But we never heard from the salesman again. The follow up was bad as well because there wasn't any. In addition to that, a pillow and a headrest were committed to us but they never came. When I got a hold of a customer service rep, I was told that they must have missed it and so they'll get them out to me as soon as they can and they did.
The two guys who did the installation were great. They came in and asked if I wanted the old tub, and I said no. They put plastic around it, cut it up, got it out and worked on how they were gonna put the surround around. Also, they had a problem that they figured out quickly. All our other fixtures in the bathroom are bronze. And so, when we ordered the walk-in tub, we ordered bronze fixtures. The two guys weren't used to installing these. They were a little different from their standard. But they got it in and it looks great. So far, it's easy to get into the tub. I've used it once but my wife uses it every two days. She's very pleased and happy with it.

I have been wanting to have a tub from Independent Home and finally, was able to get one. It made me so happy. I’m 73, and getting in and out of a regular tub was a nightmare. The step-in is so low. But it’s easy in the tub from Independent Home. I don’t get nervous trying to get in or out, making sure there’s something I can hang on to if I need to. It’s a lot of peace of mind. I don’t worry when I go take a hot soak because of my arthritis and fibromyalgia. So being able to sit down without having to struggle to get up is also a blessing. Both of my knees are shot. I have half of a patella so kneeling down is painful, and I’d have to kneel down to get up in a regular tub. In this one from Independent Home, I just stand up. The tub is easy to clean as well. I love it and it’s such a joy to have one.
The installation went extremely well. The installers had to take a doorframe out because the opening was just a smidge and it was too narrow to get the tub in. But they put it back up and you couldn’t tell it was ever taken down. Everything was clean. The guys were also polite and nice. When they needed to, they asked me a question and I’d tell them what I wanted. It was incredible. The guys were just awesome.

We were talking about getting a walk-in tub and after I answered something back, Independent Home had somebody call and ask me if we were interested in one. I said yes and the reps weren't pushy. Their unit's quality was a little better than the rest. Previously, I looked at some tubs and somebody told me the things to look out for. When I saw this one, it looked like it had all the options they said we needed. The installers showed up early one morning and it was seven o’clock that afternoon they were finished and out of there. They did it all in one day.
We used the tub and it worked out great, but we noticed that it takes a little while to fill it up as well as to empty it out. It needs a heater above to do that and we already had that because we had a Whirlpool in the room where we put the tub. It would have been easier to know about the water heater sizing before we made any specific decisions about it. When I step in a shower, I can have warm water, but when I sit down in this thing, I gotta wait for a few minutes for the water to get up high enough to turn anything on. Also, my wife had some trouble getting in and out of the tub because she’s a larger person that I am by a little, but I love the tub. It helps us enjoy the relaxation of the circulating water and vibration of the air bubbles.

We were having problems with our old bathtub and we knew there was water damage down there, so Independent Home came. They fixed the water damage and installed the walk-in bathtub, which was for my daughter. However, she was having trouble with her legs, so she decided on the shower rather than the tub. The reps were extremely good when I made the purchase and although I thought Independent Home was a little expensive, the service was excellent. It didn’t take long to install my daughter’s tub. It took two days which was very quick. I was gonna get an estimate for my other bathroom and I would like to know the price for that.

I like getting in the tub, sitting in it and soaking in it a little bit, and that’s what brought me and my husband's attention to Independent Home. I got a call from them and what they talked about interested me. They came out and showed me brochures. Purchasing the tub went good and the installation was okay too. They did it in a few days. They set it in and we could use it. I was skeptic then about getting in it but now, it’s easy for me to get in and out of it. I love getting in our tub. If I don’t fill the water all the way up in it, just taking the shower in it is good for me, either sitting down or standing up. It’s really good and it’s handy with me and my husband doing that.

We’re doing fine with our Independent Home tub, so far. We have a handicapped house with big doors to the bathroom so the installation didn't take too long. They just took one tub out and put the Independent Home tub in. We’ve used it and we like it. I do a lot of exercises in it. The tub is deep enough that it gets over my knees, so I stand up and walk up and down. I am experiencing good relief from it. I was guaranteed that they would come and fix the tub any time without charge and that they’d move the tub if we need to for nothing. I just wonder if that’s true. But as far as I know, it’s a good tub and I’ve not had any trouble with it.

I bought a walk-in tub from Independent Home as the quality of the work and the whole set up looked so much better than the other ones, which looked like they weren't even finished. The lady who came out was very thorough and she explained everything as best as she could. Also, the guy I talked to on the phone before they brought the unit in wanted to know if my husband was going to be using it and I said, “Yes, but it would be like in a stand-up position. He wouldn’t use the jets.”
The whole installation took a day and a half. The first time the installation team came out, they didn't get it all done and so they came back out the next day. The guys were especially nice. They were very polite, thorough with their work, and really did a good job. They had to take a part of the door frame off in order to get the tub through the doorway. They also put it all back.
I really enjoy the walk-in tub and I'm very happy with the whole thing. The unit that I got have air and water jets and I use both of them. It also has a handheld shower and another one that attaches to the wall for you to have it hands-free. One drawback I can see about the tub is having to sit in it while it’s filling up for five minutes. I get a little chilly, but I’ve learned to put a towel over my shoulders, and it works out fine. I also turn the heater on. I have neuropathy and the tub helps with it a lot. My legs and body feel so good after I use it. It makes it so much nicer and I sleep better. I would highly recommend the tub.

I had an Independent Home walk-in tub installed and I’m pleased with everything that went on. They sent somebody who I could talk to and really show me some pictures up close that I could see. The personal contact pleased me since I cannot get around very well. We then had the installers and they were working in a pretty tight spot here. We're a narrow hall, and to cut the big pieces that they had to get, they were here for quite a while. They came about 10:15 in the morning and it was 7:30 that night before they left. There was a lot of dust but they cleaned up very well after themselves.
The next day, while I was cleaning up a little bit better than what they had, I found a scratch on my hardwood floor. It could be from when they tried to carry a big piece around the corner, but it’s unavoidable and everything’s fine. A little bit of elbow grease and some polish took care of that. Prior to the installation of my walk-in tub, I just had a stool in the tub that I had, and now, I’m glad to have a place to sit down in the shower.

We had an Independent Home walk-in tub put in which turned out to be a very easygoing, painless experience. They were better than what I expected. The big names like Kohler were way out of reach so price was the factor when we went with Independent Home. A well-spoken older man came out and our purchasing experience with him went smoothly. We told him what we had available and he looked at our situation. He pushed the model that we bought. Then, their people did a very workmanlike, fast job of putting the tub in. Got it in the morning and they were out by late afternoon. It was done quite well and had good workmanship. However, I don't like it very much that you can’t lie back on the tub because it’s a sit-up. It’s utilitarian but it does the job and my wife won’t be falling anymore. She can get in and she’s comfortable in it. She can get washed and her hair without falling around. So, it's probably the best that we had going.

I called around and found tiles in another Home Depot. When I told him that I had found it, he was furious. He didn’t want to drive all over Dallas for it. I told him that this Home Depot was actually closer to the one that he went to. That was unpleasant and I told him to just go ahead with what he was doing. Now, the area is totally tiled.

We had some shower work done and a walk-in tub placed, and their installation team did a good job. However, there was a little delay in getting the shower work done due to the logistics of ordering some of the materials. That worked out fine though and it was all good. Overall, my experience with Independent Home was very good and I would give them favorable recommendations.

We’re all older here and we can’t get into a real bathtub very well. We had a walk-in bathtub where we lived at before and we loved it. We looked at a few walk-in tub companies and they were expensive. We finally chose Independent Home because the price was better. The rep we had was a really nice guy and he seemed like he knew what he was doing and everything with the installation was good. Also, the tub we got has pretty lights and it looks nice.

We bought a standard tub that has the air jets in it. That was what Independent Home offered at the time and it seemed like what we needed. My wife has a bad back and she needed that type of massage. And the tub does suit our needs. I’m real satisfied with the product. I was also very impressed with the people that we dealt with. The salesman was very nice and accommodating, and the purchasing experience was very pleasant. The workmen were also exceptionally good, exceptionally nice and very efficient.

I’ve been thinking about the Safe Step tub for a long time and I wanted to soak in a bath but because of my arthritis, if I got into a regular tub, getting out would take another person to lift me. So when Rick, the salesman from Independent Home, called me, I decided to buy their walk-in tub. I’ve used it a few times and so far, so good. I have arthritis and problems with my back, and when I’m in there under the water, it all relaxes and feels so great. But when I get out, gravity takes over, pulls everything back together again, and getting out is not a pleasant experience. Besides that, you can also take a shower in the tub and it has the aromatherapy, which is nice.
Rick explained everything to me when I bought the tub and everything came out the way he said it would. The installers were super nice, too. They got the tub in and all cleaned up. They came about 9:00 and by 4:00 PM, they were all finished. They even explained how to use it before they left. But one time, when I filled up the tub so the jacuzzi worked, I almost fell off the seat. I'm 72 years old, 4 feet 11, and it happened when I was sitting in the tub and I kinda turned around to reach for something. So it should be shorter because my feet wouldn’t touch the other end and I would hold on with my toes. But I didn't fell and overall, the tub is really nice.

A rep from Independent Home came out to our home. However, he was just really terribly pushy. I really was going to buy one of their tubs anyway, but he just was over the top. Thereafter, their installation team came and they were quite friendly and helpful. I’m on 24-hour oxygen, so I’m stuck to my chair, and they were quite chatty every time they went through. So far, it has taken me a bit to get used to using the tub they installed. Still, the more I use it, the better my experience is with it.

An Independent Home rep called us and sold a walk-in bathtub to us. My husband and I had been looking at them on TV and we just decided that it would be good for us at our age. We went with the one that the rep showed us. It was an $11,000 bathtub that could only fit one person. Purchasing it was easy. The rep and the installation team were very nice and seemed to know exactly what they were doing. We like the tub very well. However, it takes a lot of water to fill it up. If we’ve been shown more than one model, we might’ve gone with another model, but the rep only showed us one and it was probably the most expensive. It disappoints me to know that there are other models that the rep did not show us. Nonetheless, we’re satisfied with the bathtub. It just has holes and the air blows through them. They go up too high in the back and by the time you fill it up over holes, the water bubble goes over the side of the bathtub.

After a guy explained and showed me the Independent Home walk-in tub, I decided I would get it. The installers did a good job of putting the tub in and it looks good. I like our walk-in tub. But I had a problem with not having the hot water for a while. I may have to get me a new water heater. I have also paid a good bit on my walk-in tub now, but Independent Home charges me an awful lot of interest. I didn't much like that.
The little thing that you put in that’s got the fragrance in it, they told me to put it in the walk-in tub and take it out after I use it. When the fragrance dies out, I can call in and they'll send me more. But I couldn't get the little thing out the container it was in to put it in the tub. Other than that, I’d recommend Independent Home if anybody really wanted one because they’ve done a good job. I really like the way they are really nice about everything. I appreciate that. You can't get anybody any nicer to work with.

My husband and I both have arthritis in the knees. We wanted to get a walk-in tub for health benefits. Our doctor even wrote a prescription so that we could get it and use it off on our taxes too. We got a couple of ads in the mail. The one from Independent Home looked to be really of quality, more so than the other one. I was very impressed all the way around with Independent Home. The guys that came to do the paperwork were very conscientious and they answered all the questions we had. The people who came to install the walk-in tub were tremendously great. They did a lot of the work outside then brought it all in to the bathroom and put it in.
Our walk-in tub works incredibly well and it has been wonderful. There’s a shower attachment that you can take off and use in our tub. The only thing is that we run out of hot water while the walk-in tub is filling up. We have to fill a few pans on the stove and add the extra hot water as the tub is filling even though we have a fast recovery hot water heater. But that's easy to do. Also, we were able to do the downpayment and finance the rest of it. We’ll have the walk-in tub paid off in a couple of months.

Independent Home did not oversell the product and they were good to work with. It was a good service. Of all the major brands out there, I also thought that Independent Home had a good product. With some of the devices out there, you’re paying for the name and it’s just very expensive investment. Independent Home also had a good approach to their warranty. They said they had a lifetime warranty. There was just a lot of things about it that made me feel comfortable about working with them.
We had a sales rep come to the house and after he saw the house, he explained to us what the cost would be, what the installation issues would be, and what some of our needs would be. We weren’t 100% dead set at that point but he came back and made another offer to us if he could help us. My wife had suffered a stroke and he indicated that if we had a prescription, they could forego some of the sales tax. We went with a larger tub which holds more water but I’m fairly good-sized so we figured that we would go with that. Three members came in to do the installation and they worked well together. Those guys worked hard and did a pretty good job.

There was a caller wanting to see if I'd let their salesman come out and show their product. Then the salesman came to the door and talked me into Independent Home.

They told me what day they'd be here, and they were here the morning right time we did expect them. I thought they were nice guys and did a good job.
The tub is fine but I probably paid too much for it. Maybe I should have shopped around. Independent Home claimed theirs was the best in the market. They said the bottom of it is rough to keep from slipping, but it isn’t rough enough. It’s pretty small area. It isn’t, the actual bottom of it, even not counting the seat, and the controls.

I couldn’t use my regular tub to take a shower so I decided to get Independent Home. The only thing is it took a long time to put the tub in because my house was old and it had old construction in the tub area. It took a whole week, but the installers told us what was going on.

Someone from Independent Home called me and the salesperson was nice and very talkative. We had wonderful interactions. I checked with other tub manufacturers and the prices were higher. So, I got the Independent Home tub model they told me over the phone and then the installers who came were great. However, the aromatherapy feature doesn’t work right and doesn’t even smell when I take it out. I think they gave me stuff that doesn’t smell and so far, I haven’t found any place to buy the stuff. Other than that, I don’t have to climb over the bathtub anymore like I used to do.

I had several bids and Independent Home was the lowest. The other companies I called were so high-priced. I got Independent Home's walk-in tub and it has a shower. I like the waves and all. They told me they could do the work in one day and they did. They did a great job too. Someone else said it would take them two days to do the job and but Independent Home did it within six hours. Their installers were very professional and nice. They explained everything to me.
The only thing is I have a problem with the bank because the salespeople told me I didn't have to make a payment until December. But Synchrony Bank was on me about making a payment in November. I'm a little upset and I hope the problem gets resolved. Greg is supposed to talk with the bank because I don't want my credit going down. Other than that, I like the tub and I'd recommend Independent Home.

We had been wanting to get a walk-in tub for a long time and after I saw something on my phone and clicked on it, Independent Home called us right away. Their salesperson was a very nice man and was very positive for their product. He didn’t try to pressure us, which I really appreciated. We decided we get their tub and the installers came, put it in, and did that within a day. They told us what this was and that was and they showed us how to operate it. They were really good, knowledgeable, and seemed like very nice men. I like the tub very much and the fact that it’s got the bars that I can pull myself up on if I need to. I also like the air coming through causing the water to massage my body. And, I just like being able to take a bath and not having some trouble getting in and out. I would recommend Independent Home.

I’ve been seeing the pictures of all of the different walk-in tubs in all the different magazines, flyers and had been really interested. Independent Home had a good price and we decided to look into it. It had good features and we went with a walk-in tub that sits down one person. However, we’ve got a big hot water heater and Independent Home does not have a water heater that goes with the tub.
I saw a lot of tubs that had hot water right with them, but the sales rep said that the Independent Home tub doesn’t need a water heater because the water stays warm from the motor running. However, our tub is half full and the water is cold, instead of hot. And that was my big disappointment. I don’t use it as much as I thought I would. I’m not happy with them of not having the hot water. I also wouldn’t go with it unless they come up with a way to make that water hotter. But other than that, the interaction with the installation team was very good. They seemed to answer all the questions. They got the job done nicely, except for one bathroom door that doesn’t latch where they had to take it off the frame and then they put it back on.

Independent Home called for me and made an appointment to talk about the tubs and the benefits. I called my son and he came down. We both went through the program with the salesman who came and my son seemed to think it was good for me. At that time, I was getting afraid to get into my tub. I was afraid I was gonna slip and fall. The walk-in tub I chose seemed like a really good deal and it was what I needed. My son also agreed with me so I went ahead and got it. The installation went really well too. In about a day and a half, the tub was in and they were through. The team was very good and I'm very satisfied with the tub. Now, I can get in and take a shower, and not be afraid to fall. It's been a great experience.

I got a call from Independent Home and since I was in contact with them, I decided to purchase from them lower-cost walk-in tub because the only difference between that and the others was that it didn't have all the bell and whistles, which I didn't need. The purchasing experience was very nice. The salesman who came explained everything and seemed like a nice person. The installation team went around their business and took care of everything.

I got an Independent Home straight walk-in tub without any power, whirlpool or light. The whole process was well thought out of and took about a month. They called me ahead of time for installation date, and I spoke with the installers ahead of time as well. The guys who came did a good job and I liked them. I've only used the tub once, but it worked okay.

An old boy that sold the walk-in bathtubs to me had my phone number so I asked and he told me about it. I wasn't even thinking about having one, but I did it anyway since I'm 88 years old and I'm getting to where I was thinking I'm gonna have a little problem. So, I thought that this would be a good time to do this. The guy said the Independent Home tub was half-priced. I purchased the highest priced walk-in bathtub because it had a shower and a quick pump to drain the water if something happened and had to get out.
The installation took a little over half a day, but then it was hard. My bathroom door was narrow so he had to take the pieces off and cut a chunk out of it to get it in there. When they put it back together, I could hardly tell where the installers sawed it off. They've done a good job and cleaned up after themselves. However, the tub was not as good as I thought I would. It's unhandy to sit up there and get my feet washed. I'm not used to it yet and don't know what to do with it, but I'm happy with the tub.

We got a call from a guy from Independent Home who wanted to come out the next day and he did. He talked to us and didn't sell us anything that we didn't want. The price was right and it had everything that we really wanted. That's why we went with them. We live in a double-wide trailer, and it was gonna be a really big job to get it in our bathroom. So, we told them to cut the Sheetrock and slid it in from our den, and that was what they did. Then they put the Sheetrock back. It has a crack on it, but it’s not really that bad and noticeable. The installation went well and they cleaned up after. The tub has this feature where it can massage your feet with just the air blowing around your feet. It will start blowing real hard and then it'll settle down a little bit. Then, it will come back again with a surge. They also put some aromatherapy on it. We love it.

I like Independent Home and I've put the word out for them too. it is a great company and they have a great crew working for them. I purchased the tub due to my health problems. I’ve had back surgery and I have serious problems with my legs. And the gentleman who came out was very forthcoming and patient. He walked through the whole process with me and there was no pushing. When he came back to do some additional caulking, he even stopped at Walmart and picked up a shower curtain and a curtain rod. He didn’t have to do that but he did and he even hung those for me. The guy was fantastic.
The installers were very good also. They laid down stuff so they didn’t track through the house and they cleaned up after themselves. Plus they were very careful not to bang stuff around. I was very impressed with the whole process. The tub has been a big plus for me too. It’s been a big relief for legs and backs. As a matter of fact, my brother used the tub while he was here and he enjoyed it as well. He has diabetes and he used it a couple of times. He very much liked it.

It had a quadruple bypass operation and the hospital people kept pressing me to not get in and out of a tub without someone with me because I could fall. They made me so afraid of taking a tub bath. I had two tubs but I was terrified. I didn't take a bath and I just hand washed at the sink for a month. So, I decided to get a walk-in bathtub. Somebody from Independent Home came here to tell us about their tub and then, somebody came a couple of weeks later to put it in which was wonderful. The installer would stop to explain things, then we understood and left but the installation was so smooth and it was all done in one day. We came back later to put the holder up for the soaps and it was perfect! I didn't think I'd like that little wire thing holding the shower head but I've learned to adjust to it beautifully.
The first time I stepped into the tub, I thought it was a little high inside because it's higher than the floor but I love the tub! I can now take a shower without anybody around. I had independence. I can't just take a shower when I wanted to before. I had to have somebody there but now, I got a lot of freedom from being stuck on other people and their timing. The Independent Home tub was well worth every penny.

My wife couldn't step over the old bathtub to get in and we love the walk-in tub.

My mother had a really severe arthritis and had fallen and gotten a compression fracture. It was really hard for her to get in and out of the other tub. I was purchasing the Independent Home for her and before it got installed, she passed away. After my mom died, my dad got sick and been in and out of the hospital in emergency rooms and doctors' offices. I had to take a medical leave of absence to stay home with him and get things situated. I thought my dad would be able to use the tub, but he can't because he is in much worse shape than my mom was, and he can't get in and out of it without a lot of difficulties. So I have to have a walk-in shower installed somewhere. My sister and I use it, and we like it.
The rep was very professional and very knowledgeable. I like the features and the price that I got. The installation team did a good job. It was installed properly and it works fine. However, it was supposed to take two days and they were here for almost a week and they've come in late. I had a cast iron tub which they broke out instead of trying to just take it out and move. The man and his wife came, and he said normally his son comes, so I'm assuming that was why he decided he had to bust it up to get it out because his wife couldn't carry that heavy tub. Nevertheless, I'd recommend Independent Home. I was just a little disappointed with the time thing.

My husband is gonna be 80 next year and I’m gonna be 79. The jacuzzi tub we have is a really big one and it’s surrounded by a deck in the bathroom. At our age, getting in and out of that tub is difficult. So, we looked into getting a walk-in tub as a safety factor. We figured we could put that in so we could sit down to take a bath or we could stand up or sit down to take a shower.
Independent Home contacted us last year, but we weren’t ready to buy a tub then. I told them to give us a call later this year and that was what they did. We told them what space we had. We have a 5-piece bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, a separate toilet, double sinks, and a separate shower. The tub would take the place of the shower. The space we had for the shower was four feet long, so the tub had to fit into that space since that was the only place we could put it in. We bought a 48-inch tub as that was exactly what we had room for. Then we got our tub in 48 hours.
The installation went very smoothly. The installers not only installed a new tub but installed a new hot water heater as well. There were two guys working on removing the old water heater and installing the new one, and there were three guys consisting of an electrician, a plumber, and a supervisor working on the tub. Afterwards, they cleaned up everything and took out the old shower and the tile surround. They did an outstanding job and did it all in one day. I would certainly recommend Independent Home to anybody. They did a fantastic job.

This company tried to put in a walk in shower style that I did not order and was subpar. When I complained one of the 4 people I talked to, named Greg, tried to intimidate and bully me into accepting their product. I also found out from my plumbers that they damaged my joists in my floor and did not do any plumbing in the correct way! The people that installed the shower were not plumbers or licensed contractors and should not be do this work. For people that may have gotten the correct tub or shower still do not know the damage that was done under the tub or shower or their house.
This company should be put out of business! If you are reading this do not hire this company and if you already have, please have a plumber check the plumbing work and structural work that was done during installation! If you have had a problem with this company and were not satisfied, contact your Attorney General in your state to see if something can be done to stop them from scamming and cheating senior citizens across the country!

One of my friends in a nearby town told me that there was a guy over at her house, trying to sell her an Independent Home walk-in tub. She lives off her Social Security and couldn't afford it. She as told she could get a loan, but she doesn't don’t make that much off Social Security to pay a loan off. I said I was interested in the walk-in tub and to send the guy over. She gave him my phone number and he made an appointment with me.
I’ve seen pictures of other brands and some of the prices were more than what Independent Home's were. Independent Home's price of $16,000 is still too damn high though. They say everybody can afford it. If it cost about $5,000, everybody would probably have one, but it cost $16,000. I’m fortunate enough to have money to get one but I know six other people that came over here, looked at it and said they wish they could afford one. The other ones cost even more, with some costing 25.
You couldn’t find anybody any better and nicer than the two guys that put it in. They were terrific. They took one day for the installation, plus they also installed a water heater that day. I had some trouble with mine though. The part that ran the air bubbles and the water motion inside of it went out about a month after I got the tub. It was all covered, but I had to call somebody and it took them two weeks to get here. I could still take a bath, but I couldn’t run the air jets and the water circulation. That's what helps me a whole lot. I have trouble with my legs and it makes them feel a whole lot better. They were so busy at the time because they also contract and build houses. The walk-in tubs are just a sideline for them.
The tub is convenient but it says down at the bottom that the tub is 3 inches off the floor, but mine is 9 inches off the floor. I’m bound to a motorized wheelchair and I can get up, but I can’t walk. As long as I’m holding onto something, I don't have difficulty getting in and out the tub. But once I sit down, I have to have my son to help me get back up whenever I wanna stand up in the tub. Everybody should have an Independent Home walk-in tub if they could afford it.
