Most projects are completed in just 5–7 days. After that, custom glass installation is typically scheduled within a week of completing the tile work. Because the glass must be measured after the finished tile walls are in place, the lead time is usually between 1 to 2 weeks.
Every shower remodel package includes demolition, professional tile installation, waterproofing, plumbing fixture installation, and finishing work. In addition, our Signature and Luxe Spa packages offer upgraded features such as premium tile selections, soundproofing insulation, custom glass, built-in benches, and enhanced lighting — depending on the tier you choose.
