Luxury Bath Tubs
Create ease and accessibility by selecting a premium insulated soaking tub that meets both comfort and code. Pick freestanding tubs with fortified foundations, 50-75 gallon capacity, and deep soaking geometry (19-23 inches to overflow) for full-body immersion. Confirm compliance listings, non-slip surfaces, and controlled overflow systems. Put in a two-inch trap, accessible shutoffs, and burn prevention via temperature-regulating valves with 120°F maximum.
Ensure sufficient floor clearance (30x48 inches minimum) for sideways access, featuring a properly elevated rim (17-19 inches), and grab bar blocking at 33 to 36 inches AFF. Incorporate a reduced-height or transfer deck, textured flooring, and secure anchoring. Choose noise-reducing insulation materials, three-quarter inch supply for enhanced delivery, and separate GFCI if heated surfaces are incorporated.

Set up a curbless shower with linear drain, 30x48 inch clear floor space, and handles at 38-48 inches AFF. Secure grab bars to blocking, 33-36 inches AFF, with 250 lb load rating. Choose pressure-balanced or thermostatic valves, 100-120°F limit stop. Install lever or paddle hardware, 32-inch minimum clear door width, and offset hinges. Include high-contrast visual signage, appropriate 50-100 foot-candle task lighting, and nighttime lighting.
Energy-Efficient Additions and Whole-Home Renovations
Before you begin planning an addition or designing a complete house remodel, establish performance goals that comply with Title 24, CALGreen, and Energy Star specifications to reduce load and operating costs. Analyze envelope, HVAC, and DHW loads, then right-size systems using Manual J/S/D. Select high-R thermal insulation, airtightness ≤3 ACH50, and low-SHGC glazing tuned to Modesto's climate zone. Implement induction cooktops, heat-pump space conditioning, and heat-pump water heating combined with smart controls and multi-zone ventilation systems.
