Custom Shower Builds

1. Consultation and Design:

• Your Vision: It all begins with you. We'll schedule an in-depth consultation, to understand your aesthetic preferences, functional requirements, and budget. We'll discuss tile types (ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass), sizes, textures, patterns, grout colors, and any specific design elements you envision.
• Space Assessment: We'll carefully assess your existing bathroom space, taking measurements and noting any structural considerations or plumbing locations.
• Design : We will work with you to create a detailed layout and design plan. We'll consider factors like shower size, shape, bench placement, niche design, and overall flow. 
• Material Selection: We'll guide you, ensuring you choose materials that not only look beautiful but also perform well in a wet environment. We'll discuss durability, maintenance, and slip resistance.

2. Preparation and Waterproofing:

• Demolition (if applicable): If you have an existing shower, we will carefully and efficiently remove it, ensuring minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
• Subfloor and Wall Preparation: We'll inspect and prepare the subfloor and wall studs to create a stable and level surface for tiling. Installing cement backer board, which provides a moisture-resistant and durable base. 
• Waterproofing: This is a critical step. We utilize waterproofing systems, such as liquid membranes or sheet membranes, to create a watertight barrier behind your tile. This protects your walls and subfloor from water damage and ensures the longevity of your shower. 

3. Tile Installation:

• Layout and Planning: Before setting any tile, we carefully plan the layout to ensure proper alignment, consistent grout lines, and aesthetically pleasing patterns. We'll consider sight lines and focal points to maximize the visual impact.
• Custom Features: If your design includes custom features like niches, benches, or mosaic accents, we will integrate these elements into the overall tile installation.

4. Grouting and Sealing: Finishing Touches for Beauty and Protection

• Grout Application: Once the tile is set and the adhesive has cured, we'll apply high-quality grout. 
• Grout Sealing: To protect your grout from staining and water damage, we'll apply a professional-grade sealant. This helps maintain the beauty of your shower for years to come.
• Caulking: We'll apply flexible, mildew-resistant caulk to all corners, seams, and where the tile meets other surfaces (like the shower pan or walls) to create a watertight seal and a clean, finished look.
