Eric’s Rental Shower Solved A Bigger Problem
Eric needed a rental-friendly shower for his Ocean City condo without choosing fiberglass or dealing with tile maintenance. At Mast Contracting, we showed him solid surface options in our showroom, helping him choose a high-end, virtually maintenance-free solution that fit his priorities.
Eric Wanted The Look Of Tile. Not The Upkeep.
A Solid Surface Shower Gave His Rental The Best Of Both Worlds
A solid surface shower can give a bathroom a high-end look without the maintenance that comes with tile. For a rental owner, finding that combination isn’t always easy.
That’s what Eric K. was trying to find when he renovated his condo. He wanted the bathroom to feel high-end without choosing a basic fiberglass shower or dealing with the ongoing upkeep of tile. Since the condo would be used as a rental, he needed a solution that combined style and practicality.
When Eric visited the Mast Contracting showroom, he could see the options for himself instead of trying to imagine the finished result from a sample or photo.
Eric Needed More Than A Basic Rental Bathroom
Eric purchased his Ocean City condo planning to use it as a rental. He wanted something that looked custom enough for the condo while remaining practical for the people who would use it.
He needed to consider appearance, durability, cost, and upkeep before deciding. That meant finding a shower that wouldn’t just look good on installation day but would make sense for the property in the long term.
Seeing The Options Made The Decision Easier
We invited Eric to our showroom, where he could compare our solid surface shower systems with the tile showers we display. We also had samples available for him to examine up close.
That hands-on experience mattered because solid surface showers aren’t always familiar to homeowners. Eric initially didn’t realize the installed solid surface shower wasn’t tile.
Once he saw the finished product, he realized he could get the look he wanted without choosing tile. Our three demonstration showers also gave him a chance to compare what we install with thinner shower products available elsewhere.
The Solid Surface Shower Matched His Priorities
We recommended a solid surface shower because it addressed the exact concerns Eric brought to us. The system offered options such as a matching corner seat and niche, giving him the finished look he wanted while keeping the bathroom practical for a rental property.
Our solid surface shower systems are also virtually maintenance-free. They cost roughly 10–12% less than a tile shower, giving Eric another reason to consider the option for his condo.
The Shower Decision Led To Something Bigger
The solid surface shower became the tipping point that helped Eric move forward with his condo renovation. He ultimately trusted us with the entire condo, including the kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring.
The shower gave Eric confidence in our approach to the property. What started as a decision about one bathroom ultimately led to a much larger renovation.
The Right Fit Matters More Than The Standard Option
Eric found a shower that gave him the high-end look he wanted without the maintenance he was trying to avoid. That decision helped move the renovation forward and ultimately led him to trust us with the rest of the condo.
His experience shows that the right renovation choices are about more than appearance – they’re about finding solutions that fit your property.
