The initial contact with Safe Step was wonderful. The sales rep was a very pleasant man. But it took quite a while for them to come out and install it. They had given us an initial date then it went past that date. When they came out to do the install, they did it quickly. But there were a couple of issues. There were three panels that went in. The third panel was not behind the showerhead but on the opposite side of the showerhead. When they were drilling that to put up the last panel, they drilled through the other side of the wall. The installer was very upset with himself, and he came out to the living room and apologized. He said, "We're gonna seal up that hole. It didn't go into your fuse box. I'm gonna put a temporary thing up. You still won't be able to use your shower until then." This was a Tuesday. He said his brother is a plumber and that he'd send him over that Friday to put the last wall up and fix everything.
In the meantime, my husband looked in the bathroom and saw this long scratch in my wall, on the opposite side of the toilet. It wasn't a big gouge, but it was deep enough that it had to have some type of fixing. It had to have some kind of a putty or something to fix it. Also, we didn't know how to match the color of the wall. I called the guy on his cell phone and he called back. He said, "When my brother comes out, we could get the paint matched. He can get that fixed up for you." It made it sound like it was no problem.
The next day, we woke up and smelled this horrible sewer smell. We went in and used the toilet to flush it. We heard these loud gurgling sounds. I was not only angry that he put a hole on the wall near the fuse box and had this big scratch on the wall, but we also had this smell and gurgling noise. When I called down to the main office, I spoke to a lady thinking she was the one I needed to speak to. I vented with her first. The she said, "I need to pass you over to the manager." I had to go through it again. When I was speaking to the manager, she was at a point where she didn't wanna let me speak. I've been in customer service. I used to train operators on the phone for answering services. The very best thing to do is allow the person to vent, let them say everything they want, then diffuse the situation. She wasn't doing that. As I was raising my voice and trying to get my point across, she was raising her voice at the same time.
At one point, I told her, "Please let me vent out everything I wanna say and then respond to me." She wouldn't let me do that. She kept interrupting me and telling we they were handling it. Three times, as we were talking back and forth, we got disconnected and I'd call her back. It would go to voicemail. She was avoiding the call. I waited a little bit and called back again. Finally, she answered. She said she had reached to the older brother and he was gonna be calling me back. A little bit later, he called me back and told me, "All you have to do is have you or your husband run water. They didn't finish running water into your system to test it and allow that hatch to close. The hatch is open right now and that's why you're getting the odor and the gurgling." As soon as he told us that, my husband went into the bathroom, ran water in the shower, and that thing closed. There was no more smell or gurgling.
But overall, we're happy with the shower. It's beautiful. The old showerhead was very stiff and you couldn't move it. This showerhead is very flexible. It's so much easier 'cause I have trouble with my hands with neuropathy. The settings on it are easy to get to. I just wish the whole thing wasn't so expensive. When it came out to 11,500, that was double what I was anticipating.

I had a complaint and they were very cordial. My only regret was that I was taught I get three different quotes but I didn't. So, I had no way of knowing if the price was good, high or low. I just took it on the amount of people that had it installed that what I got was a fair price. Other than that, I like that I can sit down in my Safe-Step shower. The service was good and I was happy with it.

The sales rep from Safe Step was very knowledgeable, polite and able to sell. He was good at what he was doing. The installation was very good but the installers were supposed to finish the outside of the wall that they put up, and they never did. They had to build a wall in order to put the shower up because I had a clawfoot tub before and they had to put some tubiforms to make the wall. They were supposed to put something over those tubiforms and that was not done. So, when you walk in there, you can see the tubiforms in the back of the shower wall. I called the representative and let him know about it. I assumed he was gonna take care of it but nothing's been done yet, and that's about a month ago now.
The installers also said I was supposed to get a shower curtain and I never received that. And there are a couple of holes in the floor that they should have found some way to cover up so the water can't get down into the ceiling over the kitchen. One was for the water line and the other was for the drain line for the old tub. I like that the walk-in shower has a wand and a shut-off valve on the wand. It also has a chair. I got a lot of physical problems so I have to sit down in the shower and that way, I can take the shower head over to the seat. I can shut it off while I'm on the seat instead of having to go over to the wall and shut the valve off. It's very helpful.

I called them and they were here within three days. The sales representative at Safe Step was very thorough. He had everything right there in front of him. They got a book that you can choose from. 12 days later, I had a new shower. They came here in the morning, cut the other one out, vacuumed everything up and put the other one back in by the afternoon. We're enjoying our walk-in shower.

It was a positive experience from beginning until end. Safe Step's rep arrived on time and covered everything. He knew his product. And we didn't feel pressured. We were pleased. It's a big investment. And when I said it was a good price, it was pricey. But given all the factors, we chose to go with them. The installers were on time, thorough and clean. They were quiet and knew what they were doing.
We had a full-sized tub there. The installers removed that. They made sure the dust stayed down. They cleaned up after themselves, because it was the original fiberglass, all in one piece, that was put in when the house was framed. And they had to work around a chairlift on the stairwell. So, they covered everything so no dust could get in. We have wooden floors. They took care of that. Everything. The fellow's name was Dylan. And his partner, the young man who assisted him, was very good as well. I like the ease of cleaning the shower, the setup itself. The way the grab bars are set up. The showerhead is movable. And the chair is excellent. It's simpler and safer in the shower area. There's no climbing into a tub. A solid product that meets our needs.

Michael did the presentation and he had a good attitude. They did the installation in a couple of weeks and it was going good all the way up until I started asking questions. They showed up late on the first day and the next day. Then, they had to beg for time so they could stay to finish it up. I found a few things after using the shower a couple of times. They had a couple issues with the floor pan, the drain, the aesthetics of it and adjustments. It is not the best quality I've seen and it's not a $15,000 job. They sent a guy out to take a look at it. He said he has to make sure he gets the right panel and that he's gonna come back with the time frame to call me up and let me know.

The sales rep was very nice and informative. He answered all of our questions. Safe Step said they were gonna get the installation done in a day, and they did. It costs so much and yet, it's just a generic shower. My brothers had some questions about the flooring. It was my understanding that they were going to replace any flooring that was bad, and there was an area where they just put another piece of plywood over the top of it. So we called them, and they came back out to look at it, and I haven't had a chance to talk to my brother since then. I'm not really sure what the outcome of that conversation was, but I have confidence that it'll be taken care of with whatever the outcome.

Safe Step's rep was nice. We sat in the kitchen and talked. He went over everything. I originally wanted a walk-in tub. But I don't have anywhere in my house to put another water heater. And my water heater is too small for a walk-in tub. So, I had to downgrade to a shower. We started talking about the cost. It was too much. But when you get the quality of the work that they put into it, and the fact that I wouldn't have to worry about getting it repaired if anything tears up on it, all I have to do is pick up the phone and call them. And they would come fix and replace it. It has a lifetime guarantee with it.
But the guys that came to install were very polite and explained everything to us.

Safe Step Walk-In Showers lost money with me because the person who brought the first shower brought the wrong stuff. It was supposed to be a shower for a wheelchair. Safe Step corrected the problem by sending a second shower. It took a while to get it here. It's not a one-day delivery. It's more like one month. The second people took the shower out and put the new one in which is now satisfactory and hopefully, will work all right. The people who installed the shower were very polite and understood the problem.

Safe Step Walk-In Showers came out and did a presentation. The rep went through the presentation as far as which model would be best for us. And he sold us on the luxury model with the jets in the front. When they put the jets in, the water pressure went down because the pipes were half the size of the original ones. Plus, they couldn't reach the thing. They had put a hole in my shower in order to install it. So, I have to take that out and see if they would return it for me.
When they installed the shower, the shower stall came up half over the window. The installer cut it out so we could see out the window. But on both sides, part of the shower went over the frame of the window. We were very unhappy with that. He did not measure where the window would go and how much he would need to have so it would fit the window correctly. We paid $19,000 for that and it's not worth a hundred.
I contacted Safe Step. The girl said, "Just have the installer fix it." I said, "It's not the installer's fault. It is the salesperson. He did not measure." She said, "Do you wanna call him or should I?" I said, "You're the one selling the product. You call." So, she got snippy with me. And when I wanted to talk to the manager at corporate, she called me back. I said, "No, I don't wanna talk to you. I wanna talk to the manager at corporate." "What can I do for you?" She wouldn't put me in touch with him. They didn't care. They just cared about selling it. So, I am very unhappy.

The presentation by the rep came at a time when it was necessary. My husband was not able to get in the shower by himself and my son had to come over. So, we were anxious to get the installation done because of the time frame. But it was done in bits and pieces. It wasn’t a one-day thing that Safe Step promised. The truck broke down and the installers had to go back and forth with stuff on it. And the shower curtain never got delivered. They said that it was gonna be mailed but it never got here. My husband is now in a nursing home and he keeps telling me to use the walk-in shower. But I have my own bathroom that I've been using and I told him that when and if he comes home, I'll consider it.

We need a facility for a sister-in-law who visits that has challenges. The sales visit with Safe Step was good. We had some specific requirements. Although my sister-in-law is not wheelchair-bound, we had some height requirements and certain safety bar locations. We needed to make sure that the shower could accommodate from a safety standpoint. So that was really good. Safe Step gave the safety features that my wife was comfortable that my sister-in-law could maneuver by herself, which was a key thing. They were able to provide that assurance for us. My sister-in-law loves that she doesn't need any assistance the way it's set up. So that was perfect. We had to convert quickly and it was timely with Safe Step. The work was done really well. The only issue was that the install crew had some challenges with their vehicle when it came in. So they started and stayed later.

Wonderful representative. He was so thoughtful and really cared about what I needed. He was not pushy or hard sell about add ons.

The rep was good. He asked questions. He explained everything. It was good to talk to him. And he came up with, "This is what we're gonna do and this is how much it's gonna cost. And this is when we can do this, that, and the other." And I went, "Terrific. Great." The installers came in and put the shower in here together. They laid their tarps and things on the floor to keep from messing up my floor. And when Eric went out of here, he forgot to pick them up. When he came in, he said, "Did you put those down?" I said, "No, you left them down." He went, "Oh." I got a kick out of that. But whatever he found wrong in there, he fixed for me. He explained it all to me. I don't remember the name of the young man that was with him. But they were great at what they did. They explained everything, told me what was going to happen, and they worked well together.
I've been meaning to call Safe Step and get them to call Eric and get him to call me because he did something in there and I agreed to it. And he told me some things that he found wrong under the house when he went back to turn my water on for the shower. My plumber came by and told me about it. He came in and said, "Do you know what he did? You know where he's got the faucet? Do you realize that's on the outside of the house? It's on insulation in the bathroom. But when it gets down to the foundation, it's gonna freeze down." Outside of that, I love my shower. My cats love it, too.

The Safe Step shower is a good investment. My mother is 70 something, and I don't like her stepping over a tub. With the Safe Step shower, she ain't got to step up that high, and I ain't gotta worry about her falling or tripping. It got good space, too. On the installation day, they reconstructed everything. They took the tub out, they cut away anything that was messed up, and redid the whole floor. The final product is excellent. There is a chair in there and the detachable shower head, and she can sit down and really wash and clean herself. She doesn't have to worry about bending over and slipping and falling. The grab bars work fine, too. I like the way the textured bottom of the floor of the shower is slip proof. I'm really satisfied. She loves the product. It's definitely made it easier for her to get around and shower. I use it sometimes. I like it. It's accessible to her and to me.

We ran into some complications that I had to fix so Safe Step could put the shower in. I had to level the floor. I had to make the drain suitable for a Fernco fitting so they could attach the drain line, too. It took me a day, but Safe Step had to reschedule and come back. And it took close to three weeks to get the final installation in. The guys did a good job. It looks good. It has the seat, the grab handles, and the place to hold the shower to the side instead of on top. My mom is happy with it.

We called Safe Step and a nice man came and talked to us about the shower. He said we could get $3,000 off if we signed up that day and we'd have three days to back out of it. We had to make $1,000 deposit and then the rest would be owed. The day they did the installation, they thought they could do it in one day. A nice gentleman came from New Jersey and he couldn't get it done in one day because my iron tub with a porcelain cover was almost impossible to get out of where it was. He had situations in my bathroom to deal with that he didn't usually have, like cutouts at the end of the tub. But he did a wonderful job. He thought he couldn't put the kind of tiles that I wanted and he didn't think they would fit that area but he managed to find a way to do it. I am very pleased with it now. The shower has all the safety features and it's all the safety features that I like the most. I would do it again in a minute.

I'm not happy with my Safe Step. The original order was for three grab bars and they only had two. So, they put one that was slick and not rubber coated. When we first tried to use the walk-in, we almost had a very serious accident. I called Safe Step and said that this was not going to work. They said that I was gonna have to pay for a new bar as I didn't have it in my order. I also explained to them that when I turn the handle towards the blue dot, it should be cold but it's hot. When I talked to the installer about that, he said that the handle was a flawed design. Maybe they're getting them for $2 off from China or they're painting them wrong.
We had a girl in 24-hour customer service who wasn't very helpful. I told them, "There's three on the order." The installers did not have what they needed and they put in a substitute. They made up some type of ticket and the rep called the project manager. She was supposed to call me back but she didn't. Three weeks later, I got someone out. The installer said he was coming and I waited all day for him. He did not show up so I called him. He said, "Oh, my truck broke down. The thing's been on back order." If it takes three weeks to get a grab bar in, how are they staying in business.
This was a big issue for me. I had to send my sister home because I could not care for her hair. I have another bathroom, but it has a much higher tub and there is no way she could ever get into that. I had to pay someone to take care of her. There was no way I could wash her up adequately. I was very very disappointed with the whole ordeal and the fact that they wouldn't call me back. I should have known that there was something fishy with the rep who gave the estimate because he told me, "If you don't take the offer today and decide in a week that you want it, it'll be $1,000 more." I said, "That's not really good business practice. That's kind of like a high-pressure sales pitch."
They finally put the bar in but there was nothing they could do about the water situation. Plus, I would have to be a midget to use one of the grab bars. The tech said there wasn't a stud in my wall where he could put it up higher. I can stead myself on it but it's only 3.5ft off the floor. The one on the other side is about 4.5ft where one can actually get ahold of it and pull myself. I'm not happy but not totally dissatisfied because I'm able to use the walk-in now and bring my sister back home.

We got a shower from Safe Step and the installation went wonderfully. The three men that put it in were so helpful, and they did a wonderful job. They explained what they were doing. They started at about 8 o'clock and they were done at about 4:30. We got the shower that has the seat for my husband and has a nice shower head. It's exactly what we needed. We have a set of shelves in there. It's got a nice non-slip floor. In the shower, we have two handrails and there's a little thing on the side that when my husband's sitting in the shower seat, he can bring the water down and hook it in there.

They worked seven hours and they were conscientious about cleaning up. This is the nicest shower I've ever had in the many homes I've lived in. It's very easy to maintain, the operation is simple, and it looks nice. The way it's set up makes it very easy to bathe and I feel cleaner when I get out.

When the salesman from Safe Step wrote up our order, he indicated that the installers were going to rip everything out completely and put all the water from a board in there.

The product is good but the sales person sucks. First the sales person was late the day of our appointment then when it came to the financing part he was rushing, we asked what the monthly payments will be. He rushed to say it was just in the $200 range and submitted the application. He insisted that all the information will be sent to us. When we got our bill, yes the minimum payment was in the $200 range but it will cost us more in the interest rate and longer to pay off, but if you pay a triple the amount will save like $13K on the interest rate and pay it off with in 3 years.
We felt like we got scammed but I would not recommend this company to any of our friends and finally since the sale person is very unprofessional about the payment towards the product, I would like to file a complaint, please let me know where to address this. I would definitely like to prevent others from signing papers before getting all the necessary information on the financial part.

The fellow talked to us and walked us through. It was very nice. When we had some problems, he came back and talked with us again. And we had a problem with the amount in which we were told that the tub would cost us and he talked with us again. So, we finally decided that we would go with it. We really needed the walk-in shower so we decided we would deal with it. The installation went well. We had issues and we called Safe Step and the techs came back and took care of it. So, everything is fine and we are enjoying the walk-in shower. My wife has to have a seating and enjoys sitting there. We should have been told though that there should have been some type of soap dispenser that would hold soap and things that she needs somewhere near the shower holder. We discovered that we need it and we probably should have had it.

I liked Safe Step's price, and I felt comfortable with their guy and the product, so I went with them. The installation went great. I thought they would have to cut the tub in half. He got it out in one piece. I said, "I don't believe you did that." They did a good job in installing it. It took them one day. I love my new walk-in shower. I like that it has a seat. The only thing I don't like is I don't have the water pressure. We had a well, and it had all the pressure. But we couldn't replace the well, so we had to go to the city, and that's where it messes up. I'd tell a friend that they should call Safe Step and get a price.

They did good work. The only thing I wanted put in was a soap dish at the end of the tub where I don't have to sit there and try to hold it. Because the soap slips out of hand and drops on the floor.

The floor was slippery too and I didn't know what I'd do if I fell in there. The walk-in that I got from Safe Step is open, 48 inches long, and 32 inches deep. It has a shower curtain, the shower wand, a seat, and the two grab bars in there. I like the location, drain, shape, color, and material that it's built out of. Plus, it doesn't leak.

I could use it if I have to, but I don't want to because it's too high. Also, there are a lot of spots where there's no caulking on it on the floor panel. I called Safe Step back, told them the seat was way too high, and they said that's a safety issue, so it had to stay there. And if I wanted them to come out, they wanted $180-some. It should have been lower to begin with and I shouldn't have to pay for them to change the job that they did. I tried to figured it out but I can't figure out how to tear it off without pulling something out of the wall. So, I haven't touched it. As for the caulking, it's just left that way. I'm an old man and I can't get down on my knees anymore but they don't really care. The way they talked to me on the phone also turned me off and that's why I don't like the whole setup.

I was working with Kevin who was very much a salesman. The price was a little high but I decided to do it because I needed to get a shower in place of the tub. Kevin did everything he was supposed to do to sell me the shower. The technicians came from Albuquerque and were late. Patrick was one of them. They had to wait for a store to open so they could buy supplies. It's a distance to get here. I'm in Silver City, which is far from everywhere. Then they left and went to get some equipment they hadn't been able to get and came back. They seemed to be working very consistently and efficiently. But I realized later that it was a little too efficient that I felt like they were rushed. Since I've seen the quality of the installation of the project, I wish I had gone with Jacuzzi.
They told me not to use the shower for 48 hours. While I was waiting to be able to take a shower, I heard a big boom in the bathroom. I went and looked, and the shower head holder had fallen off. When I finally got in to take a shower, I found that the acrylic work was slovenly done. It was bubbly and had that depth to it that shouldn't be there. I called Kevin and told him what the problem was and he said it would be a while before he could get somebody out here. I hadn't heard from anyone then finally, I heard from a couple of people that I explained my problem to. I had to call Kevin four times but he's a wonderful guy.
The other day, Patrick came back by himself. He lives in Phoenix so it's a long drive for him and he was not happy about that. He went to the store, got some sticker tape, and put the shower holder head back on the shower in a new place where I asked him to change it. He said no shop in town had the material he needed, which is an edge material to cover, not to fix the acrylic paste. He wrote out a paper but I did not get a copy of. He said that he would get back down here but didn't know when. He had to get this edging he wanted to get in the store in Albuquerque or Phoenix.

I called Safe Step and spoke to Amy, our representative. She came out and showed us a fast little clip on the showers. I told her we would love to have it, but we wanted doors on our shower. She said they don't put doors on the showers. I told her we couldn't do it but she said, “I think I know someone that can install doors for you.” I said, “If we can do that, we wanna go ahead.” We went ahead and I paid her $6,000 down on it that day.
The men came out and were good workers. They were David and JD. They took the tub out and found out we had to have a plumber. We got the plumber the next day. David and JD came back a day later and finished the install. Amy later said, “Stephen could put those shower doors in for you,” so I called him. He said that he could do that but later said, “You need to get the doors then we can install them.” He told us the measurements to get it. My husband and I went to Home Depot and got some nice doors. They were 800 and something dollars.
JD and David took the doors and went to put them in. But the doors were a little longer at the lip of the bottom of the shower. He said immediately, “These won't work.” He helped us get them back in the box. We had to take them back to Home Depot and get our money back. David said, “I think we have some shower doors in our shop. We'll check.” But I never heard anything back. About a week and a half later, I called Stephen. He said, “Call Amy and let her get the doors for you.” I called Amy but I've never heard from her. We've been discouraged. We still have two years to pay on this.
The shower is nice. We're enjoying it. But we don't have the doors that we had asked for. There were a lot of confusion and things that were not done as they were said they would do. It's been frustrating. It should have been done right the first time. When Amy was doing the agreement for us, we had told her we would like the subway tile. When I looked at the agreement on the computer she sent the second time, it did not have the subway tile. The reason she had to do it again was because we told her we wanted shower doors.

The tile ran outside of the bath shower. The tech said, "Okay, we'll make sure we'll put this all the way out here so we can cover everything up if we're taking the tile down." But it didn't get done that way because though they took all the tile out, the last row on the outside of the shower didn't get covered. I have to have somebody sand that down and repaint to match what the rest of the bathroom looks like. Also, I'm trying to figure out the dial. It has a red mark and a blue mark. I'm assuming that the red mark is the hot side and the blue mark is the cold side. I don't know if they hooked it up wrong but the red side is the cold side and the blue side is the hot side.

The two gentlemen arrived 15 minutes early, got to work, and completed the installation of the walk-in shower. They worked till about 8 o'clock that night because they committed to getting it done in one day for Ronnie because he had a bunch of other appointments. So, they worked with his schedule. There were a couple of items that he was unhappy with after they left and they made it a point to come back and repair it. There were a couple of pieces that were sticking up and they made it right, and Ronnie is super happy. He did not go with any of the extra features because he had to do a lot of work to put his flooring. It's a very old house and because of the rigorous restrictions in the VA, he had to do a bunch of other work.

I checked into Safe Step a long time ago and decided not to get one because my health wasn't that bad. Recently, I've been having a really hard time getting in and out of the bathtub because it was so high. So, they installed the shower and we worked on it a little bit. I had to have a grab bar and the rep came back and did that for me and it's good now. I like that you can walk in it. You don't have to step up so high. The installers were also wonderful.

I'm 75, and we had an old shower with a big step to go over. We wanted something that we could just walk into. So we called up Safe Step and they came out and told us when they could do it. I called one day before they were supposed to come and asked how they were gonna get the tub through the door. The rep said, “It's not one piece. It comes in several pieces and they caulk it." I also have questions about the caulk but nobody from Safe Step has called me to see how this went. The salesman that came out was so nice. He kept saying, “Oh, please be careful. I know this is hard for you to get into until we can get out here and fix it. Please be careful.” He was so sweet.
The installers were supposed to do the work on the 1st of May, and they called on the day before and said they had to put it off a week, and it would be on the Friday. I said, “I don't think you can do it in one day. Are you going to work on Saturday? Because I am not going to have a mess at my house over the weekend.” He said, “Oh, I couldn't do it in one day.” So we left it that they would come out the next week on Friday. Then he called on Wednesday, and he said, “We're going to come tomorrow.” So I had to hurry and get all my stuff moved. They came out the next morning. The installation was fine, except about six in the evening, the guy cut his finger real bad. They had to leave in a big hurry and they left all this mess in here, which I expected because I didn't think they could get done in one day. But they came back on Friday and finished the job and left. It looks pretty good, except I'm a little concerned about a couple of places where the caulking is.
The caulking just disappears. You can see the bead of it coming down the wall, but you can't see it anymore. It doesn't look good. It's not a full bead all the way across like it should be. But other than that, we're happy with the Safe Step showers. I can get in and out by myself and there's bars to hold on to. It's much bigger than our other one was. It's cleaner and clearer and easier to get into.

I liked Safe Step because they gave all the remaining equipment to charity and it seemed like a good company to me. Aaron was the sales rep that came out, and he's good. I need to follow up with him. There were two glitches that they did that I need to tell him about. I had some pretty expensive fixtures in there in that tub and they took them all. Also, there was an option to have a shower chair installed, and I told them that I didn't want them to install it, but I wanted them to leave the chair and I would do it later and they didn't leave me a chair. Overall, the salesman and the installers were thorough. They were very good at giving me some ideas about what glass panels to get and how to work that. I'd recommend Safe Step. I just thought it was kind of cheeky of them to take all my fixtures.

My father's very pleased with the Safe Step walk-in shower. He loves it. He wishes he would have done it sooner. The salesman also gave a good pitch and the price was reasonable. The installers were considerate of the home. They put down a tarp to walk on so they didn't walk on the carpet. They were fast and efficient. I really like the nonslip floor that the shower still has. I didn't see that on any other of the other ones I've researched. That was an added bonus. I also liked that the seat could flip up if he wasn't using it, as opposed to being in a permanent fixture on the side back into the wall. I would have liked to have had frosted glass. It's a clear glass. But I don't think they offer that, or at least that was what I understood.

The shower part of our walk-in tub is okay and the other shower fixings were fine. But there are a couple of problems. I went to Home Depot and bought a showerhead that would come down more. They had it set way too high. It was going plumb on top of my wife's head. I told the guy that installed it about this and he said that was their standard thing. But what about the short people? That's the whole idea of a safe shower. It means they accommodate me for it to work for the safety of people. I had to go get fixtures and it's just a matter of hooking them up. You don't have to be a genius to do it. I got that solved.
The other issue is the water thing that turns the water hot and cold takes forever. When the water finally gets warm, you turn it up and it gets way too warm. That part doesn't work. Also, where the curtain comes down, the lip on the front of the base of the shower, it's not high enough. The curtain has magnets on it, but it doesn't stay unless you're really careful and watch the water 24/7 from coming out into the bathroom. It's not bad, but still, it should drain more in. If the step was just a little bit higher, the curtain would have more room at the bottom to where it wouldn't come out over the top of the thing.
I also had the guy come out. I can't bend over that well to wash my feet so he put a handle bar-like thing down low enough to where I could put my foot up on it and wash my feet. After I tried it, I thought, "That'll probably work." But it doesn't. I don't have a good balance. I had him come back out and take it back off and position it somewhere else in the shower to where it worked for me better.
Outside of those things, we're happy. I didn't go ahead and get the seat because it was too much. I couldn't see paying $800 for a fold-down seat. I bought a shower stool which we can use instead and it works. My wife and I are both handicapped. The reason we got rid of our tub was my wife could get in but she had to have help. I had to steady her so she could step up over the top of the tub. It's the same thing with me. My back is hurt too. Overall, we like the way our Safe Step walk-in tub looks. It's a good-looking thing. I like the room too. It's got a lot more room than the bathtub had.
It's easier to get in and out because you just got a small lip down there. But it's not a big enough one to keep the shower curtain in. The weights help but you have to be really careful because if you're not, you'll have to get ahold of it and pull it back over where it's supposed to be. Also, I saved Safe Step some money because the guy that worked on it said the little things that hold the soap and stuff were really small. They put on a couple of extra ones in there on each side. But he came up with an idea.
I had this white block on the walls for the covering. I told the guy I would like to keep those two. But it wasn't as good. It wasn't as nice as far as holding things. So the guy said, "Well, what I can do is, right down here, I can cut across here, cut around those and cut across and cut across, and leave those there." The deal was to enclose the whole shower, the top, and the sides. That was already done so that saved him from having to do that because he didn't have to put the whole wall. He still had to put a piece in there about four-foot from where he cut on down. It really doesn't match. It looks okay but it isn't quite the same whiteness as the other was. But I can live with that. Overall, it's all right and I'm satisfied.

He explained that there was a pretty bad storm moving into the area and that he would have to leave a little early to help the company get some other products inside, and he would be back first thing in the morning to finish, and he was. They were very pleased.
The shower is not cheap. But my mom said the shower was so pretty. We put in grab bars and the seat and then also the showerheads where she can reach them. She also had an extra shower bar in there, and they relocated it for her on the outside of the shower, so she got that when she got out. It was an extra and it was very nice.

He called me a week later and said he had gotten behind and delayed it for another week. It was one day the installer finished his work, but there was a malfunction and we couldn't use the shower. Because every time we turn it on, water sprayed all over the place. So, I kept calling and that is what took the time. It took a couple of days before they got out to fix that. They should have checked everything, but they did not. But he did the same thing. He said, "Everything looks okay." I kept calling there but I couldn't get anybody to come out for a while.

The Safe Step salesman was very good. He told us how to apply for a veteran's loan. The installers were good too. A little messy, though. The first day they were here, they left. The next day they came back, I said, "What are all these things on my windowsill?" They said, "Those are the caps to the caulk." I said, "Something that should have gone in the garbage?" But I threw them away. They were in my hand already. One rep also cut something wrong on the wall. He said, "I usually carry an extra," but he cut it wrong twice. So, they had to come back and finish the next day, which was fine because I have two bathrooms. I also called them back once too. They also had an issue with the drain and he didn't have the drain pipe. I walked down just as they were walking out the door and I came running. I made them come back 'cause they didn't cap the sewer pipe. But everything else was fine.
I love the shower. I got bad knees and it just makes it easy to get in and out. My husband is also a disabled veteran. He has dizzy spells from time to time and it is so nice to be able to know that he's safe. He fell getting into the shower and that's what started this whole process of trying to get the walk-in shower. I wanted the bench for him. But they said the VA won't pay for that. The VA won't pay for doors too because he could fall and break the door and crash through the glass. We went and bought our own bench. But they put the bars in. I was very pleased with Safe Step.

To me, it was way too in-depth and took too long. But that was for me. He probably has to do that for a lot of older people.
The installation itself was not problematic. But we had some problems getting them here on the day that they said that they were going to be here. We had a couple of different cancellations and that's stressful when you're trying to plan your life and doctor's visits and you don't exactly know when they're going to be there. But they were very professional and they did a good job. They were kind. It took a day and a part of another day and they were very clean. They laid down tarps on the floor and were very careful. You can't live without being able to get clean. And we were having to go to the rec center. We don't live full-time in Colorado. This is our second home.

I have a very good experience with Safe Step. The sales rep gave me a pitch and I ended up requesting it to be installed. I really like it. I enjoy taking a shower every day now. I'm really satisfied. I have a basic and there's no chair, there's no hook where you can place your hose onto it if you bring it lower. It's just two safety bars, one on each side of the entrance, and then two soap caddies, which really works out for me well. Because I'm by myself. I don't really need more than that. I'm able to grab that hose and maneuver it around my body very well.
However, after a few showers, I noticed there were a couple of slits at the very top. I wasn't sure that was by design, so I let them know that maybe somebody took a safety knife and opened the back too close to the shower curtain itself. I took photographs and he put a work order in for that to get it replaced. I was in no hurry. But when they're in the area, just drop it off.

I'm very disappointed with Safe Step. I've had to reach out to them a lot. The girl that sold it to me was great. She was very nice. The installer came and he stayed for two days. He was here from 10:00 to 5:00 the first day. The second day, he was here from 10:00 to a little after 12:00 that night. He tore the tub out. My husband had a stroke. It's the reason I had the tub taken out. The tub had jets in it, so in the closet, it had a motor that had to come out, which he disconnected but he didn't take it out. He was supposed to take it out. When he finished, he was gonna go ahead and finish taking it out and fix the two holes in the wall in there. He ended up tearing up some of my tile and he had to move the wall out further, which was okay. I could deal with that. To me, he did not know what in the world he was doing.
The job was awful. I called several times. He called me and asked me if he left his battery charger downstairs and I went down to see and I told him, "No, I don't see it. But when you come out here, you still gotta take this motor out." He said, "Yeah. I forgot to take it out. I'll be out in the morning," which would have been Saturday morning, and he didn't come. I didn't hear from him anymore. So, I called them again. Also, this piece that he put on the bottom from the wall to wall outside the shower thing, and he cut it too short. I didn't realize that the first day.
I told Safe Step, "I do not want this guy back out here. Send me somebody else." They did, and he was extremely nice. It took a week and a half for him to come out. He called me and told me who he was. He took the motor out, fixed the holes and did a beautiful job. He came in here to see what else needed to be done and he looked and he said, "Why in the world did they put this big, what I call, trim? You just need a little one at the bottom. He put white in here against the bone. I don't understand that." I told him about the seat where he sealed the corners in there, and he said, "Well, to begin with, he should have never used white. He should have used a bone color." He said it doesn't look good. I also have not gotten my cups in yet. They were back-ordered but he told me as soon as the cups get in, he will come back out and install them. Other than those, I'm satisfied and if they can get those things fixed, then I would be very satisfied.

There was one challenge they hadn't anticipated but they worked around it to make it work. The installation took an extra day because the tub that they removed was a spa tub and it had a motor for jets. They had to remove that but it was fine. They were very neat and considerate of our rugs and floors. We enjoy the features of the spa. It's nonslip and very convenient. It's safe and clean. It's everything that was advertised.
When the techs installed the glass doors, they did a great job. They worked very nicely except that there's a three-quarters of an inch gap on each side. I wish they could have lined up and closed a bit better. Also, we had the most economical model but if we could have a second shelf in the corner, we would be able to share a little bit more than just the very minimal shelf in the corner with the basic unit. Other than that, the overall quality is very good.

And now, my wife can't use it because there's no room for her to move her arms and she keeps hitting the glass door. It's very restrictive. I've contacted Safe Step and asked them if they could modify it by four inches. The pan needs to be wider and longer. But they were saying there were liability issues and they couldn't help me. I told them I'd sign any waiver they want me to but it didn't matter. So, tough stuff and I'm stuck with a shower that we can't use.
I even contacted the subcontractor and they said they'd get back to me, but that had been almost three weeks. It seems they don't want to deal with me either. I'm going to have to search for somebody who is willing to do that for me and pay the money. Other than that, the installer was very talented and he knew what he was doing.

I had a leak and the installers had to come back a few days after I called them. The guy opened up the drain before he had it drained out after he turned the water off and that was what ran down in there and was running down on the ceiling and in the room underneath the bathroom. So, they didn't think anything was wrong. They said it was just water running down there and it was only the insulation dripping. But 10 days later and it was still dripping, which was when I told them. I said something wasn’t right and the guy came out and said it was something to do with the pipe down there. It was a cracked plaster or elbow where he connected it but they told me at first there wasn't any problem. Another thing was, when the installers took the old shower out, there was a shower door. The guy had the boy take it out and he must have thrown it to get it up in the truck. The shower door glass was all over my driveway and nobody said a thing about it.
We went out and didn’t notice it till we came back because my car was parked out in the front and out of the way. They were already three hours away by then and the guy was asking what he was going to do. He said he thought the boy cleaned it up. He was not gonna tell me whether he cleaned it up or not, and that they didn't see that glass when there were two of them still here. They had to both get in that truck and it was all around the truck and under it. It wasn’t like he didn't know he didn't do it, which was what kinda got me with that. I didn't expect him to come back since it was a three-hour drive each way. But I didn't expect to have that sort of thing like, "Well, whatever." Still, I like the Safe Step walk-in shower so far.

I love my Safe Step walk-in shower. However, during the installation, they told me I would have to wait another 8 to 10 weeks to get a new floor pan because the one they had didn't fit. When they came and put the other floor pan in, that was when everything went downhill. I'm a neat freak. The goop that they put on the second time they did it looked a little sloppier. I love the shower curtain that they gave. It has these little suction cups so you can stick it. But the goop was spread so far over that it won't stick to the rubber glue that they put on. It has to stick on to the material of the shower, not the rubber.
The name of the company is Safe Step, but it's not safe at all. I'm scared. I'm very careful when I have to go in there. It's very slippery. They sent somebody out that said, "If we put this scoop down on it, it'll make it rougher." I said, "That would be good, but I don't know what it's gonna look or feel." When the salesman came, I could look and feel a piece of it, so I felt comfortable with it. But now, they wanna put something in that I don't know how safe it's gonna be.

He also didn't have everything with him the first time to finish the job. You would think they knew how to do this stuff and would have everything they needed but evidently not. They came back three days later. I was without my shower for a whole week. Thank God I have three bathrooms. They still had to come back and fix a couple of things. It was leaking around the showerhead. The vanity plate that goes over the showerhead next to the wall was missing. They broke my bathroom window. Some caulking wasn't up to par.

The salesperson that I talked to was a former installer. So he kind of knew what to look for. The shower would be installed in one day. Safe Step had a person that does it routinely for them. So it was an experienced person. The installation person came and had two helpers with him. They were very neat and organized. They knew what they were doing. As far as I can see, they didn't damage anything. They were very respectful. They cut the old shower out and then they put the new shower in and reinforce the walls where it needed. Before they started cutting, I made sure they had all the right components. So this way there wouldn't be any interruptions. They completed the work in six hours and everything's been working okay since then. The workmanship was fine. Everything was even and matched up. Nothing was loose or broken. We went through everything before they left.
The Safe Step shower that I had put in was their basic model. I had put in two metal grab bars and a foldable seat. Also, the shower was more flushed against the wall. So there's more room in it than there was in the original shower. I have a shower head that's removable so that I can use it to wash myself down, and there's a separate handle that I can put it in so that if I'm sitting, it'll be reachable. I shower almost every day. The grab bars are very helpful. It minimizes the risk of falling. My oldest daughter who's a physical therapist looked at it and she said that she liked it because it had all the safety features in.
The only negative thing about Safe Step is that every little bit that you wanna do is an upcharge. For example, I have basic white walls and floor. They'll say, one that looked like a subway tile, which is really a little bit of etching that they put in at the factory, wasn't allowed. So you had to go from the $11,000 model to the $16,000 model if you wanted any small upgrades to make it a little better. So they are steering towards an upcharge or more expensive unit. But everybody's like that. When I interviewed other people, it's just the norm of the business.

The reps from Safe Step were nice to keep us informed about the process of when we would be expecting the walk-in shower to come in since they said that once it does, it has to be built for the space. Once it got a little bit closer, we were able to move forward. We had to do payment arrangements at the time so we talked to the reps a couple of times before they started doing the installation. There was a little bit of a delay before the installation but the installers did it all in one day.

And you would have to call him." So, I did call the next day. He said, "No. You signed for the shower." He knew I wanted the tub. It was my fault too because I should have read the small writing and put my signature instead of my initials. When they came and put it out there was nothing I could do. They took down some things that I had bought on my own.
They gave me a seat. The shower was okay, but that wasn't what I wanted. I can sit, but the seat is too far back. You can't scoot the seat up. I had a shower chair that I had had before. So, that's what I use now. When I called the gentleman that sold it to me, he admitted that they were not supposed to take anything out of my house without me telling them to. They didn't ask me. I don't know if they knew what to do or not, but they took my shelf out. They took two of my bars out and everything.
The installers were very nice. My son was here, and we bought them lunch, and they came back and did it. Then they asked me could they stay longer than they had planned to because one of them was from Kingsport, Tennessee. Then he have to leave and then come all the way back. I live in Murfreesboro. So, I told them that was fine. They came about 12:00 in the morning and left about 12:00 that night. As far as the shower, they have the long handle shower brush for me to use. I have a rheumatoid arthritis, and I have it in my hands and my legs. So, I still have to have somebody help me when I take a shower. I didn't take showers. I like to take a bath. I had a shower with my other tub and that's why I wanted the walk-in tub, where I could walk in and sit down and take a bath myself.
The shower is okay, but that wasn't what I wanted. Plus, when the salesman said he would give me a tub, and I told him that I didn't want one, he said, "You mean to tell me you don't want one?" I said, "No. Because I'm not able to pay that much for a tub." If I had known the tub was gonna cost that much at first, I wouldn't have gotten it. He didn't tell me how much it was going to cost. I paid him $2,000 down and then I paid him $9,000. I gave the young man a check for $9,000 when they finished that night. I couldn't have afforded the tub, and that would have saved a lot of trouble because I would have told him right away that I couldn't afford that much.
All we talked about was the tub. We never mentioned the shower when he was selling it to me. They did reimburse me some. I had gotten a lawyer to go to him and talk to him about it. I talked to him on the phone and I told him it was partly my mistake, but it was his mistake too. The lawyer told me to call him and talk to him, which I did. If there was any trouble, got to call him back and that he would see about doing what he could. I came back and got the papers that I had. I read the contract over again. I didn't read it when he told me I didn't have to put my signature and just to put my initials, which I did. After that happened, I came back and read the contract. That was when I saw my mistake because I should have put my signature instead of my initials.

I was wanting to get a walk-in shower. So, I looked on the computer, and I found Safe Step. I reached out to them and the salesman came and went over everything and had some samples and took measurements. Everything went fine. Two gentlemen came for the installation, and they called me and said they were on their way. They were only here for about four hours, and they had everything done.
The only thing is there is supposed to be a fold-up seat in the shower, and when they came, they said the seat did not come. It was on backorder. So, I kept waiting and I never heard anything. A couple weeks ago, I called Safe Step. They said they'd look into it. Then the gal that was in charge of setting up my appointment called two weeks ago and said that the seat had been shipped. It's been eight weeks, and I still don't have a seat in my shower. I'm not happy about that.
I’ve used the shower since it was installed. I have an old seat from my other shower that I put in there. I'm supposed to have the one that goes with the shower and it's attached, and it folds up out of the way. This one is very inconvenient, but I'm using the shower because I like the size of it. I didn't expect this to have to go on like this. Other than that, the people I dealt with were really nice.

My experience with Safe Step was fine. I just wish the people that they contracted to install the shower were more local. The installers told me that it would be done in one day. They told me that they would be here by 8:00 in the morning and be done by 5:00 in one day. I didn't know where the guy came from, but the guy didn't get here until 12:30 PM. So that meant it was gonna be a two-day thing. They were also hard to get ahold of. You call, leave a message, and then you wait five hours before somebody calls you back. It was irritating. I was happy with the shower, but the first time I went to use the shower, the equipment fell apart. I had to wait another day and a half to take a shower. But the Safe Step people got on to it. They hooked me up. I have a broken back. Now, I have a place to sit in the shower and got handlebars. I love it.

I was very pleased that the salesman who came to the house was not some young college kid.

They came by 8 o'clock in the morning and were done by 6:00. I like the ease of using the shower. I'm 85 years old, so I don't get in and out of a tub that well.

The shower works properly, but I have a problem with the Safe Step installer. When he first set up to install the shower, he did not cut the main water valve off in the basement, so when he went to make the connection, water went everywhere. Water came down on the ceiling in the living room, and it was on my sofa and the cushions, and we had to dry all that out. The installer said he would be back in a couple of days, which he wasn't. I had to call him and he came back, then he did some plastering. He told me to call him back within a week 'cause if it dries, it may bleed through again and he had to come back and redo it. That didn't happen.
I called the salesperson and explained to him. He said, "I'm gonna call him," then the installer came. Now, this is going on a second week. He told me, "Call me in a week and I'll set up a date and come out and then redo the ceiling again," and we put another soap dispenser in. That was week ago. I called him yesterday and didn't get any answer.

The reps were very upfront and professional, and that's why I went with Safe Step. When the salesman came, their products were far superior than the other places we looked at. Also, I see on TV all the time, the companies have a one-day shower replacement. That's not true because they gotta have the inspector come out and check the work, and those inspectors are very busy.
My install took three days. The installer got done with a piece of the project, and an inspector had to come out. The next day, the installer did something else and an inspector had to come out and check that as well to make sure everything was good. Overall, the salesman and the installer were very pleasant, and we love the installation. We had them put a fold-down seat in there, so it's not a permanent seat, and we love that aspect of it.

Safe Step was fine, but they were little expensive. I was told it was just a one-shot deal and I was gonna tell the sales rep, “Forget it,” but I went ahead with the deal. He said, “The deals that we make today is for today only. We can't go back and redo them.” I used to be a salesman so I knew what was going on. Installation took one day, and it was not hard. I could have gone out, bought one of these things and done it myself, but I didn't feel like it. There's a good warranty as well. I was gonna get a flip down chair with the step-in shower, but Safe Step wanted 1,000. I said, “1,000 for a chair? Is it gold lined? That's a lot of money.” I went and bought my own that I can move around. It's not tied to anything. It's a shower chair made by some company, and they sell it at the pharmacy for 50 bucks instead of 1,000.

They did some extra things for me. It was the salesperson that switched out the smaller seat for the larger seat without charging me extra and had them install a grab bar in the toilet area that was up against the tub, which is incredible that they were able and willing to do that for me. I love the shower. I feel more comfortable using it. And it's a pleasure to take a shower again instead of a frightening thing.

We called Safe Step Walk-In Showers and a guy came out. I didn't like being pressured into it right away. I wish I had had 24 hours. But it was, "You gotta buy it now or just lose 10%." I don't wanna do that, but did anyway. I wish I thought about it more. With $14,000, I could have got a better one for the master bathroom, but that's hindsight. But the walk-in shower works. The person who installed it was friendly. I thought he said something about it's the wrong size too, but it still went in. He didn't finish the first day. But he got it done. And he was great. I helped him a bit. Because my bathroom is in a little hallway, and you have to wiggle around to get to it.
It looks like the shower doesn't come all the way out to the wall where it should. But when I look at the pictures of other ones, I guess they don't come all the way out either. And I can't measure it, so I don't know if it's the right length. All I know is, I bought a shower seat for my wife and it was supposed to fit in there, and it's one inch too long. Had to go buy a different chair. I never got ahold of anybody. I couldn't even contact the guy who sold it to us.

Years ago, I had a walk-in tub installed in one of the other rooms and we are very pleased with that. So, when it came time to have a walk-in shower put in, I just called Safe Step. The sales guy was really friendly, really nice, and knowledgeable. As far as installation, I stayed out of their way. The installers were very good and courteous. They cleaned things up as they went and, at the end of the day, made sure things were cleaned before they left. Two people came out on a Monday, tore it out and then on Tuesday, they had to wait for the inspector to show up. They came back on Wednesday and put it all back together. The only thing is waiting for the permit took four days. I started on a Monday, and I got my final permit on a Thursday that I could go ahead and take a shower. Otherwise, everything worked well.
As of right now, everything is working well. The grab bars are located in the right place. I have a nice large seat to sit down on. Once I step into it, I feel safe standing there. The floor is very solid and non-slip. It's just on the end by the showerhead that I have three things to put soap on, I wish I had another one closer to the seat where I could put my sponges and stuff like that. They said they do make them, but I said I'll give it time and then I'll call them up. Overall, it is really great that I can go in a shower and sit down and enjoy myself. Walking alone with a walker, I couldn't step into the regular tub that was in there to get a shower and clean up. I'm satisfied with the workmanship, the quality and the price.

The man was very helpful. I was running late that day. He wound up doing the presentation to explain everything twice, which was nice. He did one for my husband, and he explained it fully to him. He did it again when I got home. He was efficient, understanding, and down-to-earth.
Several men showed up for the installation. They had one particular man whose name was Sergio, and he was awesome. I was very surprised about how well it was done. It's a one day install. They made sure everything is protected. Everything was sealed, so no water would get in. And they were out the door. They were done by decent hours so that we could have dinner.
The quality of the shower is phenomenal. My mom wasn't able to tell us where she wanted the grab bar, that they get us as part of the package, installed. So, I wanted her to get into the shower, get a feel and then let Safe Step know. Sergio said, "Not a problem. You call me whenever that happens. And I'll come back and I'll install it for you." I called him on a Friday and said, "We have the bar. Mom knows where it is. Does tomorrow work for you?" And he said, "Absolutely does." He came. He never asked for any money, made sure that it is exactly where we wanted it. And he left. It was phenomenal.
