Questions

Common questions

Why does shower waterproofing matter so much?

Grout and tile aren't waterproof on their own. Water gets through them over time. The waterproofing behind the tile is what keeps that water out of the walls and floor framing.

What's Hardie backer?

It's a cement board that goes on shower walls under the tile instead of drywall. It doesn't break down when it gets wet, and it gives the tile a solid base.

Can you build a niche or a bench in the shower?

Yes. Niches and benches are part of the shower scope. We'll lay them out with you before we start.

Do I buy the tile?

Yes. Tile is your pick — you or your contractor buy it. Our price covers the install, plus the backer, waterproofing and setting materials.

Why isn't there a price list for interior tile?

Every bathroom, fireplace and backsplash is a different size and layout, so we measure first and quote the job. The estimate is free.
