Custom Walk-In Tile Showers
A walk-in tile shower opens up a bathroom and makes it easier to use, clean, and enjoy. We design each shower around your bathroom's footprint, your plumbing, and how your household uses it.
Whether you want a simple alcove replacement or a full walk-in shower, we measure carefully, plan the layout, and build the shower to fit your space.
Shower remodeling can mean building a new tile shower in an existing bathroom. We plan the layout around your current plumbing and the room you have.
Shower Waterproofing Systems
Waterproofing is what keeps a tile shower sound for decades. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own, so the membrane behind them does the real work.
We prepare the framing and backer board, install a waterproofing membrane at the walls and floor, and make sure the drain and every corner are sealed before any tile goes up. We water test our showers to confirm that the drain and slope work as planned.
Shower Niches, Benches, and Curbs
Built-in details make a shower practical. A recessed niche keeps shampoo and soap off the floor, a tiled bench gives you a place to sit, and a curb or a curbless entry sets the look of the room.
We frame and tile each feature as part of the shower, not as an add-on, so the corners, edges, and waterproofing stay continuous.
Porcelain and Ceramic Tile Options
Porcelain and ceramic are both excellent choices for showers. Porcelain is dense and low in water absorption, which makes it a strong pick for wet areas and busy bathrooms. Ceramic is a cost-effective option with a wide range of colors and finishes.
We help you compare sizes, finishes, and patterns, including large-format wall tile and small mosaic floors, so you can choose what suits your style and budget.
Bathroom Floor Tile Installation
The bathroom floor should match the shower and tie the room together. We install bathroom floor tile with a level, properly prepared subfloor, and grout lines that stay even from wall to wall.
We can plan the floor tile and shower tile together so the transitions, thresholds, and cuts look intentional.
Under the floor tile we install an uncoupling membrane, Schluter-DITRA. It sits between the subfloor and the tile, lets small movements in the floor happen without cracking the tile or grout, and helps manage moisture beneath the surface.
Replacing an Outdated Shower
If your current shower or tub surround is worn or outdated, we can remove it and build a new tile shower in the same space. We check the framing, subfloor, and drain location first, so the new shower is built on sound structure.
