After NEWPRO Abruptly Closes, Bath Flip Offers Relief for Customers Left in Limbo

Local bath remodeler to honor deposits and complete unfinished bath projects for affected homeowners.

Bath Flip, a leading New England bathroom remodeling company known for fast, high-quality installations, has announced a support program for homeowners impacted by the sudden shutdown of NEWPRO Home Solutions and its
parent company, Renovo Home Partners. The closure, which left customers across Massachusetts and surrounding states without communication, refunds, or finished projects, has created a wave of uncertainty for homeowners who had already paid deposits toward
bathroom remodels — in some cases, thousands of dollars. Bath Flip is stepping in to help.

Effective immediately, Bath Flip will:

Honor deposits originally paid to NEWPRO / Renovo for bath or shower remodels

Complete the installation using Bath Flip’s professional design and build teams

Only charge customers the remaining project balance — not the full price

“We understand how devastating and stressful this situation is for families who thought their projects were underway,” said Anthony Picarello, CEO of Bath Flip. “When a company closes overnight and disappears, customers are left without options. We’re in the
business of doing the right thing — and we’re prepared to step up and get these projects done.”

Bath Flip has launched a dedicated support hotline for affected NEWPRO/Renovo customers: Bath Flip Relief Hotline: 617-313-7121 or visit

$10M approved to secure New Hampshire schools

Since its inception, more than $50 million in Public School Infrastructure funds have been allocated

In a continued commitment to safeguarding students and staff, the New Hampshire Public School Infrastructure Commission has approved $10 million to support new school safety initiatives.

This newest allocation of funds – aiming to improve the physical safety of school buildings statewide – increases the total amount of Public School Infrastructure funds to more than $50 million since its inception in fiscal year 2018.

The majority of the new, $10 million allocation will be used for the fourth round of the Security Action for Education (SAFE) grants program. Starting on Monday, schools will be able to apply for SAFE grants to fund school safety projects that will enhance emergency alerting and access control. Projects that will be prioritized include new or updated school facility locks, bollards, gates and fencing, as well as the installation of new or updated exterior cameras, camera monitors, blue light emergency beacons, phone systems and exterior door alarms.

“Dedicated funds for school safety initiatives are a vital step toward protecting New Hampshire’s students, and these grants reflect an ongoing commitment to creating safer learning environments statewide,” said Commissioner Caitlin D. Davis of the New Hampshire Department of Education.
Schools that were unable to secure SAFE grants in previous rounds will be prioritized in the new grant application process. In addition, schools located in communities where the calculated building aid factor is lower will also be prioritized. The grant application will remain open until December 8, 2025.

“School safety remains a priority in New Hampshire,” said Robert Buxton, Director of the Department of Safety’s Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management. “This continued grant funding shows that the Granite State is committed to providing peace of mind to students, staff and parents.”
