We execute installations with structural expertise and waterproofing precision through our proven five-step approach:
We assess your bathroom layout, discuss accessibility needs and design preferences, take precise measurements, evaluate structural requirements, and create detailed plans including shower dimensions, entry configuration, drain placement, tile layouts, glass design, and fixture locations. We guide you through selecting tiles, glass systems, fixtures, drains, and accessories matching your style and budget, then provide comprehensive estimates including all materials, structural modifications, waterproofing, installation, and finishing work.
For curbless showers, we lower floor sections as needed, install proper drainage systems, and ensure adequate slope for water flow. We then install professional waterproofing membranes on floors and walls, ensuring complete protection against moisture penetration—absolutely critical for walk-in shower longevity and performance.
We install shower bases with correct slope to drains (minimum 1/4″ per foot), ensuring proper water flow. We complete all waterproofing connections and conduct thorough water testing before proceeding to verify the system functions flawlessly.
We install your selected tile with meticulous attention to pattern alignment, grout lines, and waterproofing at all penetrations and transitions. Following tile work, we install glass enclosures with precision fitting and install shower valves, fixtures, and complete all trim work professionally.
We complete all grouting, caulking, and sealing work, conduct comprehensive water tests verifying proper drainage and leak-free performance, thoroughly clean all surfaces, and review operation with you ensuring your complete satisfaction with every aspect of your new walk-in shower.

Do curbless showers leak water into the bathroom
Not when properly designed and installed. Correct floor slope, adequate shower size, strategic glass panel placement, and proper drain selection contain water effectively. Our designs prevent water migration into bathroom areas.
Can you install a walk-in shower in my existing bathroom?
In most cases, yes. We assess your bathroom’s structural conditions, drainage access, and floor construction to determine feasibility and required modifications.
How long does a walk in shower installation take
Timelines vary by complexity. Standard alcove conversions typically require 1-2 weeks. Custom tile walk-in showers generally take 2-3 weeks. Curbless showers requiring structural modifications may require 3-4 weeks including waterproofing cure times.
Do I need to replace my entire bathroom floor for a curbless shower?
Not always. Sometimes we can lower just the shower area. However, for best appearance and proper slope, we often recommend bathroom floor replacement creating seamless transitions.
Are walk-in showers suitable for small bathrooms?
Yes. We design space-efficient walk-in showers that work beautifully in compact bathrooms, often making them feel larger through glass enclosures and efficient layouts.
