CareFree Home Pros Transforms a Bathroom in Historic Three Rivers, MA
Located in the heart of Hampden County, Massachusetts, the village of Three Rivers in Palmer holds a unique place in New England history. Known as “The Polka Capital of New England”, this close-knit community was shaped by a wave of Polish immigrants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their vibrant food, music, and cultural traditions continue to thrive—especially at Pulaski Park, where top polka bands gather to perform in true local spirit.
From Fiberglass to Flat Wall: A Full Jacuzzi® Shower Upgrade
On a recent visit to Three Rivers, the CareFree Home Pros team was called in to replace a worn-out fiberglass tub that had seen better days. While fiberglass is a strong and cost-effective material, it’s not immune to wear. Over time, accidental drops from razors, shampoo bottles, or renovation tools can chip its surface. Left untreated, these minor chips can expand and cause deeper damage.
Our day began with a full tub demolition and tear-out, prepping the area for a more modern and low-maintenance solution. By evening, we had completed the installation of a stunning Jacuzzi® Seaside Marble Flat Wall System with an alabaster white base and 4″ Signature right-side drain pan. This elegant combination not only brightens the space but also adds lasting value.
Safe, Stylish & Simple to Maintain
This Jacuzzi® wall system is designed with an antimicrobial surface layer infused with silver ions. It actively resists mold, mildew, and bacteria—ideal for families looking for a hygienic, easy-to-clean bathroom. With just a gentle wipe using soap and water, this shower looks as good as new every day.
To ensure safety without compromising style, our team also installed strategically placed grab bars. While the ADA recommends placement between 33–36 inches from the floor, we always customize the height and positioning to each homeowner’s comfort and mobility needs.
