Custom Tile Shower Remodel With Window, Before and After
Some showers age better than others. This one had been around for nearly 30 years, and while it had held up okay, it was clearly ready for a change. The original layout featured dated blue…
These are not generic bathrooms—they’re real homes with real problems we solved using the right approach and the right materials. You’ll see how we approach different layouts, handle waterproofing around windows, and blend style with function in every detail.
Whether it’s a tight half-bath, a dated master suite, or a tub-to-shower conversion, we take the time to understand what the space needs. Then we make it work better and look great doing it.
What We Focus On During Shower Remodels
Our team approaches every bathroom tile remodel with an eye for design, durability, and long-term value. Prep is everything, and we follow strict best practices that go beyond appearances:
- Cement board or foam panel underlayment
- Waterproofing membranes or liquid systems
- Proper slope-to-drain for safety and longevity
- Replacing wood sills or trim with waterproof tiled surfaces
- Adding function with niches and centered drains
These aren’t just trade secrets—they’re the basics done right. A shower that looks great but leaks behind the wall is a disaster waiting to happen. That’s why we take the time to get every detail right from the beginning.
We’ve seen the damage that shortcuts can cause—mold, rot, cracking tile, and expensive tear-outs. Our goal is to build something once, and build it to last. Because once a tile shower fails, it often means starting from scratch.
Popular Materials in Our Remodel Projects
We work with a wide variety of tile types and finishes, always matching style with practicality. Each bathroom tile remodel is designed with the homeowner’s preferences, lifestyle, and budget in mind.
- 12×24 porcelain tile — a modern favorite with minimal grout lines. It creates a clean look and is easy to maintain.
- Mosaic and hex tile — textured, slip-resistant, and perfect for shower floors. It also adds visual interest.
- Marble-look ceramics — provide a luxury feel without the upkeep or high cost of natural stone.
- Decorative insets and trims — bring character and elevate a space from basic to custom.
We often blend materials to create focal points—like a niche with accent tile or a feature wall with contrasting patterns. These small design touches go a long way in creating a space that feels high-end but still functional.
Tile isn’t just about color. It’s about shape, pattern, and the way the material fits the light in your space. Whether it’s a polished surface that reflects natural light or a textured finish that softens the room, we help clients find the right material for the effect they want.
