Custom Walk-In Showers
A walk-in shower is judged on the two things nobody sees: the slope of the pan and the integrity of the membrane. We build those first, prove them with a flood test, and only then start setting tile.

What goes into the shower
- Pan built to a consistent quarter-inch-per-foot slope toward the drain, no low spots
- Bonded waterproofing membrane carried up the walls and sealed at every corner and penetration
- 24-hour flood test, photographed and shared with you before tile
- Recessed niches sized to your actual bottles and framed into the studs, not surface-boxed
- Optional bench or corner seat with concealed support, built for real weight
- Linear or center drain, curb or curbless entry depending on floor structure
- Tile setting with planned layout so cuts land at corners, not at eye level
- Templated frameless or semi-frameless glass, plus valve, head and hand-shower trim
Sequencing a shower build
Unlike most of our bathroom work, a shower has a mandatory pause built into it. Mortar and grout need cure time, and glass can't be templated until the tile is finished — so we schedule your other bathroom trades into that gap instead of leaving the room idle.

FAQs about this service
Do I need a door, or can I do a doorless walk-in?
A doorless shower needs enough run — generally a wet area at least 5 to 6 feet from the showerhead to the opening — plus a slightly warmer room, since open showers lose heat. If your room is tighter than that, a single fixed panel keeps most of the open look without soaking the vanity.
What waterproofing system do you use, and can I see it?
We build with bonded sheet or liquid-applied membranes over a properly sloped pan rather than relying on cement board alone. Before any tile goes down, we flood-test the pan and photograph it holding water. Those photos go to you — it's the one part of the shower you'll never see again.
Why is glass installed weeks after the tile?
Frameless panels are cut to the finished, tiled opening, which is never perfectly plumb in a real house. Templating after tile is what keeps the gaps even and the door from dragging. Expect roughly two to three weeks between tile completion and glass install.
