Wood framing behind your tile: It’ll always be on point.

Jason using spray foam adhesive to fill the void between our shim system. This shim system gets the shower walls FLAT, PLUMB and SQUARE so the shower has a perfect tile installation.

Whenever we build a new shower, we're adding wood - fixing the wood framing to get it right and up to a proper standard.

✅Wood for attaching glass panels and doors.
✅Adding wood to fasten the plumbing.
✅Adding wood studs because all of our walls will be 16 inches on center.
✅Custom Framing soap niches.
✅Adding wood blocking for handicap grab bars.
✅Fixing rot from water damage.
✅Shimming our walls so they are FLAT, SQUARE and PLUMB.

Not every remodeler goes to this length to make your bathroom shower SOLID to hold the weight of tile and to LAST A VERY LONG TIME.

It is always best for the tiler to plan and install the framing in the shower he is building. That’s why we do it! We know what we need to get a nice finished product.

We have a line item for this on our bids.
You don't have to ask, it will get done.

It's not just "show up and start tiling".

No, all the important stuff is behind the tile.

It's not just looks. It's REAL VALUE being built into your home.

There's no point if it's not going to be solid and built to last.

The best part is-
WE CAN BE YOUR REMODELERS.
