Tub to Walk in shower conversion.

I've been meaning to update my master bathroom for longer than I'd like to admit. Due to some physical limitations, I'm considering going with one of those outfits that do the dirty work in a day or two.
I'm looking for advice on who to trust for quality workmanship/product at a reasonable (not cheapest) cost.
I live in Baton Rouge and have One Bath and Closet on my list?
Any advice/experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Our bathroom has/had the whiirlpool tub in the center of the closets with shower
I demoed all myself
Old shower is now a full height cabinet with tv shelf
Old tub is now a 4 x 6 full height walkin shower
Looks good

Don’t know that particular company, but if they are like the others that claim to give you a new bath in one day, I certainly wouldn’t the ones I know of are ridiculously overpriced plastic or vinyl. A well built bath will take longer, but if you want a quality job it is worth it.
Call a tile guy that guarantees his work.

Max home, an extension of one of the big box stores, does them in a day or two. Don’t know anything about them.

Good advice. I was going to tackle it myself but I don't want to be without a bath for a year and a half.

Impossible to do this job in a couple days unless it's a prefab panel kit. This is not a high quality shower. If you want a mobile home shower, just save the cash and move to a mobile home. If you want quality and can't do yourself, you'll need a contractor. A tile setter alone is not likely to do the whole job, but there may be some who have the ability to do the whole thing. You're gonna spend a few grand getting it done right.

I'm cool with paying for good work. Thanks!

Excellent custom work. Comes highly recommended. Been in the business 20+ years.
Simple tub to shower usually takes 3-5 days, I think.
They usually do everything except maybe electrical, I believe.

Re doing a shower is going to be 3-5 days work min. Not necessarily 8 hours days, but there are multiple items that need to dry and usually that is done overnight. Often times the guys prefer to run 2 or maybe 3 jobs at once and let it dry for 2 nights.
Day 1 will be demo and prep
Day 2 tile prep, backerboard
Day 3 backerboard finish
Day 4 tile
Day 5 grout
That's barebones.No major plumbing work which is very unlikely. Etc.

Anytime. Hope that is helpful. Was a contractor for a long time (retired) and will be happy to answer any questions.
