Chicago bathroom remodeling

Curbless shower

A curbless shower starts with framing. The floor structure must be lowered or the surrounding floor raised so the entry finishes without a step.

Showers and enclosures on one of our Chicago jobs

Why this is worth doing properly

The wet part of the room, and the part that fails first when it is built quickly. Every shower we build is waterproofed as an assembly rather than as a layer of grout, and it is tiled to a layout drawn before the first cut.

What you get from us

  • 01

    The wet area is waterproofed as an assembly

    A bonded membrane covers the wet area. Every corner, fastener and pipe is sealed, then the assembly is flood tested before tile goes on.

  • 02

    You see what was behind the old tile

    If we find rot, a notched joist or an old leak, you get photos and a written price before we cover anything up.

  • 03

    One crew, start to finish

    The same crew handles the job from demolition to final silicone. Separately licensed plumbing and electrical contractors work on our coordinated schedule.

  • 04

    Small jobs are welcome

    One vanity, one leaking shower or a set of new fixtures. We quote the smaller jobs many remodelers pass over, with the same care as a full gut.
