What a Bathroom Shower Renovation Actually Covers
A bathroom shower renovation can mean a lot of different things. Some Mt Prospect, IL homeowners want a full gut-and-rebuild with a new footprint, new plumbing rough-in, and a frameless glass enclosure. Others need a simpler refresh, swapping out worn tile, a leaking pan, and dated fixtures without moving any walls. We handle both ends of that range.
What stays the same either way is the waterproofing. Whether it's a cosmetic update or a full tear-out, we never skip that step. Bad waterproofing is the number one reason showers fail early, and fixing it after the fact costs far more than doing it right the first time.
Tile, Glass, and Fixture Options
Picking materials is one of the better parts of the process. We work with a wide range of tile formats, from large-format porcelain slabs to classic subway styles, and we'll tell you honestly which ones hold up better in a wet environment. Glass options include framed, semi-frameless, and fully frameless enclosures depending on your layout and budget.
Fixtures matter more than most people think. A quality shower valve controls water temperature precisely and lasts decades. We carry options across price points and help you find the balance between what looks good and what performs.
