Medicare generally does not cover walk-in bathtubs or showers, as they are typically classified as home improvements for comfort. However, if deemed medically essential by a doctor for a specific condition, there may be exceptions through certain Medicare Advantage plans or other health programs. It's advisable to verify coverage with your plan provider.
North Dakota's harsh winters require careful management of material handling and curing times to prevent damage. Short summers mean we focus on efficient installation and robust sealing. Our team is experienced in working with these extreme seasonal challenges to ensure a durable result.
