Summary
Gilbert Design Build is a full design-build remodeler in Lakewood Ranch, with a showroom and dedicated designers like Katie and Jeff.
It does to-the-studs master-bath remodels, doorless walk-in showers, and tub-to-shower conversions.
Happy customers praise the high-quality, professional, budget-respecting remodels. But a strong cluster of detailed complaints exists.
One '3-week' job reportedly ran over a year.
Reviewers allege the installed product was thinner than the samples shown, day-laborer crews did the work, a 40% cancellation penalty applied after signing, and the 'free consult' felt like a high-pressure qualification process.

What reviewers mention
Services & features
Walk-in showers
A curbless or low-threshold shower — the alternative most buyers end up comparing against a walk-in tub. Typically cheaper, no fill-and-drain wait, and stronger resale appeal.
Tub-to-shower conversion
Replaces an existing bathtub with a step-in shower in the same footprint — usually a 1–3 day job and one of the most requested accessible-bathing remodels.
