Walk In Shower Installation

A walk in shower makes a bathroom feel larger and is easier to step into and clean. We build them with low curb or curbless entries, frameless or semi frameless glass, built in niches and benches, and a new pressure balanced valve with a rain head, handheld or both. Every shower pan is sloped to the drain and waterproofed before tile goes on.

Tub to Shower Conversions

Many homes in Frederick County still have a tub that nobody uses. Converting it to a walk in shower is one of the fastest ways to update a bathroom and make it safer. We remove the tub, move the drain and valve where needed, repair the subfloor and build a new waterproofed shower in the same footprint. Our tub to shower conversion cost guide explains what affects the price.

Custom Tile Showers

We install porcelain, ceramic and natural stone tile on shower walls and floors, from large format panels to mosaic floors. Layouts are planned so cuts land in clean places, niches line up with grout joints, and corners and edges are finished with trim pieces instead of exposed tile edges.

Bathtub Installation and Replacement

Prefer a tub? We replace worn or chipped alcove tubs, install deep soaking and freestanding tubs, build tub and shower combos with tiled surrounds, and install walk in tubs for easier access. Heavy tubs get a framing check first, and damaged subfloor is replaced before the new tub goes in.

Waterproofing Comes First

Most failed showers leak because of what is behind the tile. We use a continuous waterproof membrane on walls and pan, seal every niche, bench and valve opening, and flood test the pan before tile. That is the part of the job you never see, and the reason the finish work lasts.
