Waterproofed right, sloped right, and built to be used every day — not just to look good on installation day.
The difference between a shower that lasts thirty years and one that leaks into the ceiling below comes down to what you cannot see: the membrane behind the tile, the pre-slope under the pan, and the seams that were actually sealed. We build showers the slow, correct way — foam waterproofing systems, properly lapped corners, flood-tested pans — and then make the visible part beautiful.
Popular projects around the Valley include turning that never-used tub in a Farmington colonial into a walk-in shower, adding a frameless glass enclosure in an Avon primary bath, and replacing builder-grade fiberglass inserts in Simsbury and Canton homes with tiled walls and niches.
Bring us your Pinterest board. We will tell you what translates well to your space, what it costs, and where you can save without it showing.
In the Valley we see both work well. Keeping one tub somewhere in the house (even a simple one) while upgrading the main bath to a walk-in shower suits most families and buyers in Farmington, Avon and West Hartford.
Typically 24–48 hours after grout for a light rinse, with full use after sealing cures — we give you exact timing at the end of the job.
If water has been getting behind the tile, the membrane has failed and patching rarely holds. We inspect, give you an honest answer, and price both options if repair is realistic.
