New walk-in and curbless shower installation, with waterproofing and tile done right for Gulf Coast humidity. If you are replacing an existing tub, see our tub-to-shower conversion page.
Walk-in shower installation, curbless shower construction and custom shower building are different terms for the same result: a new shower built from scratch rather than converted from an existing tub. It is a common request across Lake Charles and Calcasieu Parish bathrooms, especially where an aging fiberglass unit or a cramped layout no longer fits the household.
A shower conversion is a waterproofing project first and a design project second.
A proper waterproofing membrane behind every tiled surface is what prevents leaks and mold years later, not just the tile itself.
A curbless shower needs the floor sloped correctly to the drain so water does not creep into the rest of the bathroom.
Adding solid blocking behind the wall during construction means grab bars can be added now or later without cutting into finished tile.
A properly sized exhaust fan matters even more with a larger, more open shower area in a humid climate.
We assess your existing tub or shower and plumbing.
Tile, glass and fixtures are chosen.
The old tub or shower is removed.
A sloped pan and full waterproofing membrane are installed.
Tile is set, then the glass enclosure is installed.
We test the drain and seals with you before calling the job done.
Full-height tile on every wall costs more than a partial surround.
A curbless entry needs more floor framing and slope work than a standard curb.
Frameless glass costs more than a framed or semi-frameless enclosure.
Shower valve and showerhead quality is a modest but real part of the total.
