TILE
SHOWER
HOW DO WE DO IT?
1.
Your old tub and the walls around your old tub are COMPLETELY REMOVED
down to the studs. We add
additional insulation in the walls around the shower if needed to keep the
shower area warm. If there is old
water damage to the floor, we repair
it.
2.
The new shower faucet of your choice is installed, with a new fiberglass
shower floor pan and drain. The
water tight fiberglass pan is installed in a bed of concrete to make the floor
extremely strong and level. (A new tub can be installed instead of a shower pan
if you prefer a tub.)
3.
Sheets of “Cement Board” are screwed to the stud walls above the
floor pan. The corners and joints
of the cement board are sealed water tight, so the shower is actually water
proof at this time, even before the tile is installed.
4.
Your choice of ceramic tile, granite, or Fiberglass is installed on the
walls over the cement board using mortar cement adhesive, creating a second
waterproof layer.
5.
Colored cement grout is used between the tiles for beauty and waterproofing
HOW LONG
DOES IT TAKE?
It
takes about 3 days from start to completion.
WHAT DOES
IT COST?
It
costs about $3000 depending on the tile and plumbing fixtures you choose.
WHY
DON’T YOU GO OVER THE OLD TUB LIKE OTHER COMPANIES?
We
think it is better to remove the old tub and replace it with all new.
Why? Because we can add wall
insulation if needed. Who wants a cold shower?
Often the old wall or floor is water damaged. We can repair any old water damage that may lead to dry rot.
IS MOLD A
PROBLEM?
There
is no way mold can grow between the old tub and the new shower because the old
tub is completely removed and hauled to the landfill. Black Mold has been proved
to be a Major Health Hazard.
IS IT EASY
TO CLEAN?
Yes, ordinary bathroom cleaning products are used, like Soft Scrub or Scrubbing Bubbles..

WHAT’S THE PROCEDURE?
1. First phone us to let us know you would like an estimate.
Our estimators work evenings and weekends so they can come to your home
after work.
2. Our estimator will come to your home and discuss your project
and how you would like it done. The
estimator will take this information back and do a “Preliminary Estimate”
that will be mailed back to you.
3. After you receive your Preliminary Estimate and have a general idea of the price, if you would like to go ahead with the remodel, call us again and we’ll come back out to discuss the details and help you decide on specific products. This is where our Interior Designer can help you. If you would like to see the products you want to use, we give you a list of approved SHOWROOM PARTNERS, where you can go see their showroom and choose the specific products you want..
We take this information
and update your estimate. Then we
mail you a remodeling contract showing the exact price.
