Mountainaire homeowners call Liberty for shower & tub installation because we're local to the high country, licensed, and answer the phone 24/7. Mountainaire sits at about 6,950 feet in the pines south of Flagstaff, taking in the Mountainaire and Kachina Hills subdivisions. Out here it is mostly wells, septic, and cabins that sit empty part of the year, so freeze protection and winterization are the bread and butter. Real licensed crew, straight answers, fair quote before we touch a thing.

Mountainaire runs right up against the Coconino National Forest at close to 6,952 feet, and the housing is a mix of full-time homes and part-time places in the pines. Unlike neighboring Kachina Village, most of Mountainaire is not on a water and sewer district, which means private wells, pressure tanks, and septic systems doing the work. Every one of those adds freeze-prone components outside the heated envelope of the house, and at this elevation the freeze season is long enough that a shallow or uninsulated run will eventually find its limit.

What we see on Mountainaire plumbing

  • Deep winter freezes at nearly 7,000 feet on well lines, hose bibs, and unheated crawlspace plumbing.
  • Private wells and septic systems that need the plumbing side maintained on both supply and drain.

How a Mountainaire shower & tub installation call goes

  1. Plan & Rough-In

    We confirm the layout, drain location, and valve position, then handle the rough plumbing, moving or resizing the drain and supply lines so the new shower or tub fits your design and drains correctly.

  2. Set Valve & Coordinate Waterproofing

    We install a quality pressure-balancing or thermostatic valve and ensure the drain and pan connections are leak-tested before tile, pan, or surround goes in.

  3. Final Set & Test

    After the surround is finished we set the trim, fixtures, and glass-ready hardware, then run hot and cold checks to confirm temperature control, drainage, and a watertight finish.

Shower & Tub Installation in Mountainaire, FAQ

Can you convert my tub to a walk-in shower?
Yes, this is one of our most-requested jobs, especially in Sun City and Surprise. We relocate and resize the drain, install a new shower valve, and set up the space for a low-threshold or curbless pan, then coordinate the watertight finish.
What kind of shower valve should I get?
For most homes, a pressure-balancing valve keeps you from getting scalded when water gets drawn elsewhere. If you want a fixed exact temperature and multiple outlets like a rain head and a handheld, a thermostatic valve is worth the upgrade.
Do you make showers accessible for seniors?
Absolutely. We build curbless and low-threshold showers, add in-wall blocking so grab bars anchor into solid framing, and can plumb for handheld wands and bench-height controls for safe aging in place.
Will converting a tub to a shower hurt my resale value?
In a 55-plus community, a well-built walk-in shower is often a selling point. The common advice is to keep at least one tub in the home if you've got multiple bathrooms. We'll talk through which makes sense to convert.
How long does the plumbing for a conversion take?
Our plumbing rough-in, including the drain relocation and the new valve, is typically one to two days. The whole project runs longer because waterproofing, tile, and glass are separate trades.
Can I add a rain head and a handheld at the same time?
Yes. We plan the valve and supply lines during rough-in to feed multiple outlets. A thermostatic valve with a diverter lets you run a rain head, a wall head, and a handheld on their own or together.
I leave my Mountainaire place empty over the winter. What should I do?
Winterize it, and do not rely on leaving the heat set low and hoping. We drain the system, blow out the supply lines, protect the traps with antifreeze, and shut it down properly so there is no water sitting in a pipe at 6,950 feet in January. Come spring we bring it back up and check every line and fixture for damage before you turn it over to a house full of guests.
Am I on a well and septic in Mountainaire?
Most of Mountainaire is, which is what sets it apart from Kachina Village next door. If you are not sure, we can tell you on the first visit. We handle the plumbing side of both: pressure tanks, supply runs from the wellhead, and the drain side out to the septic, and we will point you to a well or septic specialist when the job genuinely belongs to one.
