Top-rated tub replacement pros in Ames, IA
Ames isn't grouped by trade here, since Google Maps doesn't sort businesses into plumbers and bath specialists the way a license file does; instead, these 10 are ranked by Google rating. Whichever company you call, ask directly whether a plumber handles the drain and supply lines or whether that gets subcontracted out. A strong rating says nothing about which license covers the plumbing part of your swap.

Questions before you swap a tub
- Is this a like-for-like swap, or does the drain move, and does that change whether we need a permit?
- Which of your licenses covers this: plumbing, or a remodeling license, or both?
- What does the new tub weigh, and does the floor underneath need any reinforcement?
- Was this house built before 1978, and if so, how are you handling any painted surfaces you disturb?
- Are you reusing the existing drain and overflow, or replacing that hardware too?
- What is the real difference in your price between refinishing, a liner, and a full replacement?
