The tub you never use could be the shower you use every day.
A walk-in shower done right changes how you use your bathroom. A walk-in shower done wrong leaks into the floor below.
Walk-in shower installation is one of the most requested bathroom projects we do — and one where the quality of the work behind the tile matters more than anywhere else.
A shower runs water every day. The waterproofing, the slope of the floor, the drain installation, the grout and caulk work — all of it has to be right from the start. We build showers that are functional, clean, and watertight for the long term.
What kind of shower project are you doing?
Tub-to-Shower Conversion
You have a bathtub you never use. It takes up space, it collects cleaning product, and it’s a step in and out every time. Converting to a walk-in shower gives you a shower sized for an adult — not a compromise sized around a tub insert.
We remove the tub, reconfigure the plumbing, waterproof the space correctly, and build a tiled walk-in shower in its place.
New Walk-In Shower
Adding a shower to an existing bathroom layout, or rebuilding a shower stall that’s too small, too dated, or too far gone. We design the footprint to make the most of the available space and build it from scratch.
Shower Expansion
n existing shower that works but is too small. We reconfigure the surrounding space — sometimes by taking a portion of an adjacent closet or unused floor space — and rebuild a larger shower in the same area.
The work behind the tile is the work that matters.
Every shower failure comes from the same source: water that got past the tile and had nowhere to go. The waterproofing membrane, the slope of the shower floor toward the drain, the way the curb or threshold is built — these aren’t visible when the project is finished. They’re what you find out about in three years when a tile starts shifting or the grout cracks.
Waterproofing membrane
Applied to all walls and the floor before a single tile is set. This is the first layer of defense. We don’t skip it or rush it.
Floor slope
A shower floor that doesn’t drain correctly holds water. Water that holds breeds mold and breaks down grout over time. We slope every shower floor toward the drain — measured, not estimated.
Curb and threshold
The transition from the shower to the bathroom floor has to be built to shed water back into the shower, not out of it. We build it correctly.
Grout and caulk
Grout joints are consistent, fully packed, and sealed. Caulk goes at every change of plane — corners, the floor-wall joint — because grout cracks there and water gets in. This is standard practice. We hold to it every time.
What you can choose
Tile
The largest visual decision in a shower. Large format stone-look porcelain, subway tile in various sizes, mosaic floors, penny tile accents — the range is wide. We’ll help you understand what’s practical for your shower size and what will hold up with daily use.
Shower Door or Open Entry
A glass door contains water and makes a small shower feel larger. A doorless walk-in with a properly designed entry and floor slope can work without one. We’ll tell you which configuration fits your bathroom.
Niche and Shelf
A built-in niche for shampoo and soap looks clean and eliminates the wire rack. We build niches into the wall during construction — they have to be planned before the tile goes in, not added after.
Bench
A built-in bench, tiled to match the shower, is functional and looks intentional. If you want one, we plan it into the design from the start.
Fixtures
Rain head, hand shower, body sprays. Standard pressure-balance valve or thermostatic. We’ll talk through what fits your use and your plumbing.
