        "text": "Structural considerations are crucial for a successful freestanding tub installation, especially given the significant weight of a tub when filled with water and a bather. Our design-build team evaluates the existing floor joists and subfloor to determine if additional reinforcement is necessary. This step is vital to prevent future issues and ensure the long-term integrity of your home. As part of our comprehensive service, AKN Design Group will assess your specific situation and incorporate any required structural modifications into the renovation plan, providing a single point of coordination for this complex aspect.",
