Build it your way
Every shower is custom. These are the favorites:
Curbless entry
No step, no barrier. Looks high-end, works for every age. Requires real plumbing skill — that's us.
Custom tile, floor to ceiling
Marble-look porcelain, subway, herringbone, zellige — over proper waterproofing, always.
Frameless glass
Custom-measured panels and doors. No clunky frames collecting grime.
Rainfall + body sprays
Multiple heads, thermostatic valves, handhelds — sized to your water pressure so they actually work.
Benches & niches
A tiled bench to sit, niches for every bottle. Built in, not glued on.
Safety without the hospital look
Designer grab bars, non-slip tile, low thresholds — aging-in-place that looks like a spa.
A shower is a plumbing project wearing pretty tile.
The valve behind the wall, the slope of the pan, the waterproofing under the tile — that's what decides if your shower lasts 30 years or leaks into the ceiling below.
Most shower installers can't touch the plumbing. They tile over whatever's there. We're licensed master plumbers — we move drains, replace valves, and waterproof to spec, then make it beautiful.
That's why we can guarantee it watertight for 5 years — and they can't.

typical fixed-price range — your exact number goes in writing after a free visit
How we beat the big chains: National bath brands quote $20K–$38K for prefab pans. No franchise fees, no commissioned salesmen, no rented subcontractors — that's typically 15–30% under national-brand quotes for the same or better spec. Bring us any written quote and we'll match the scope line by line.
What people hate about other companies — fixed here
The complaint
“Water pressure died the day they left. The installer said 'call a plumber.'”
Our fixWe ARE the plumber. Valves sized to your water pressure, tested before the tile goes on — no finger-pointing possible.
The complaint
“Grout cracked in 6 months. Turns out they skipped the waterproofing.”
Our fixModern membrane systems behind every shower, photographed before tile — and a 5-Year Watertight Guarantee in your contract.
The complaint
“They quoted a 'one-day shower' — it leaked by spring.”
Our fixOne-day systems skip the pan and valve. We replace everything that fails, then guarantee it watertight for 5 years.
The complaint
“Nobody would tell me if repair or replacement made sense.”
Our fixYou get both numbers side by side with photos of what we found. If a $600 fix is smarter, that's our recommendation.

Walk-In Showers questions, answered
How long does a walk-in shower install take?
Typically 1–2 weeks including tile and custom glass. Your finish date goes in the contract.
Tile or a wall-panel system — which is better?
Tile looks and resells best; premium panels clean easier and install faster. We price both in your quote so you choose — no upselling.
Can you make it curbless / wheelchair-friendly?
Yes. Curbless entries need the floor rebuilt at the right slope with linear drains — plumbing work most installers can't do. It's one of our specialties.
What does the 5-Year Watertight Guarantee cover?
Any leak from anything we installed: we fix it free and repair any damage it caused — drywall, ceiling, paint. It's written into your contract.
What choices do I get on a walk-in shower?
Wall finish (tile or solid panels), door (frameless glass, semi-frameless, or an open walk-in with a fixed panel and no door), base (custom tile pan, solid surface, or curbless), plus niches, a bench or corner seat, grab bars blocked into the wall, the valve and body sprays, and lighting or an exhaust upgrade. We bring samples to your home so you're choosing in your own light. Every item is its own line on the written price, so you can add or drop anything before you sign.
