 TILE SHOWER   HOW DO WE DO IT?

 OUR 5 STEP PROCESS

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 Permagrout is used between the tiles for beauty and waterproofing.  No sealing is needed. 

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

It takes about 3 days from start to completion.

  WHAT DOES IT COST?

It costs about $3500 TO $5000 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..

 HOW DO I CHOOSE MY TILE AND PLUMBING FIXTURES?

To help our customers find quality tile and plumbing fixtures we have establish our SHOWROOM PARTNERS program.  "Showroom Partners" is a group of wholesale specialty suppliers with showrooms in the Des Moines area were you can go see and choose the products you want to use in your remodel.  These Showroom Partners are time tested companies where you will receive high quality products with expert advice  in their field.  You'll receive SERVICE, EXPERT ADVICE, and QUALITY PRODUCTS.

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..
