What Tacoma Customers Say
"Our Tacoma ranch-style home had a tiny bathroom with a cramped tub enclosure. They converted it to a modern walk-in shower and the space feels twice as big now. Game changer."
"The team found asbestos tile under our vinyl during the walk-in shower installation demo in our Tacoma home. They handled the abatement properly and didn't rush through it. That's the kind of professionalism you need."
"We have a 1970s split-level in Tacoma and the walk-in shower installation presented some real challenges with the existing plumbing. They figured out creative solutions and the result is beautiful."
"After getting quotes from 5 different contractors in Tacoma, these guys were the most detailed in their proposal. They actually measured everything twice and the final price matched the estimate exactly."
Walk-In Shower Installation FAQ
Common questions about walk-in shower installation in Tacoma
Do walk-in showers increase home value?
Yes — walk-in showers are one of the most requested features by Tacoma home buyers. A well-built walk-in shower in the primary bathroom typically returns 60-70% of its cost at resale and can help your home sell faster.
Can you add a bench to a walk-in shower?
Absolutely. We build permanent tiled benches (floating or corner-mounted) directly into the shower. They are fully waterproofed and tiled to match the rest of the shower. A bench adds comfort and is especially valuable for aging-in-place.
What glass options are available?
We install frameless, semi-frameless, and framed glass enclosures. Clear glass is most popular for walk-in showers because it makes the space feel larger. We also offer frosted, rain, and patterned glass for more privacy. All glass is tempered safety glass.
