We remove the old surface and prepare a sound, level substrate.
Waterproof
We install the correct membrane and pan so water cannot reach the structure.
Set Tile
We set wall and floor tile with proper slope, spacing, and layout.
Grout & Seal
We grout, seal where needed, and walk the finished shower with you.
Waterproofing & Tile Systems We Install
We install to each manufacturer’s specification. These are systems and lines we work with, not exclusive dealer brands.
Waterproofing & Setting Systems
Schluter (Kerdi and Ditra), Laticrete (including Hydro Ban), Custom Building Products RedGard, and Mapei membranes, mortars, and grouts, matched to your substrate and tile.
Tile & Porcelain Lines
We set porcelain, ceramic, glass, and stone from lines widely available in Southern California, including Daltile, MSI, Marazzi, and Emser. We help you choose the right product for a wet area.
Built to TCNA and ANSI Standards
Every shower we build follows recognized industry methods, not shortcuts.
TCNA Handbook Methods
We follow Tile Council of North America (TCNA) Handbook details for wet-area assemblies, including the shower wall and receptor methods.
ANSI A108 / A118
Setting and bonding follow ANSI A108 installation standards and A118 mortar and membrane standards, including A118.10 for bonded waterproof membranes.
Pre-Slope & Waterproofing
Correct pre-slope, a sloped pan, and bonded or sheet waterproofing so water drains to the drain and the structure stays dry.
Curbless, Niches & Benches
Curbless entries, waterproofed niches, and benches detailed to the same standards for a shower that lasts.

We install it right the first time, or we make it right. Every job is set to a clear standard: level tile with no lippage, even grout lines, and proper waterproofing where it counts.

Ways to Pay for Your Tile & Stone Project
Many homeowners fund a remodel through a home-equity line of credit (HELOC), a home-equity loan, or an FHA 203(k) renovation loan, and we're happy to discuss monthly payment options during your estimate.
These are common ways homeowners spread the cost of a larger tile or stone project over time. Terms, rates, and approval depend on your lender and your situation, and we are glad to talk through what fits your budget when we quote your project.

Shower & Bathroom FAQ
Do you waterproof showers before tiling?
Yes. Proper waterproofing is the most important step in a shower. We use the correct membranes and pans so water stays where it belongs and the wall structure is protected.
How long does a shower or bathroom tile job take?
A typical shower or bathroom tile project takes several days, including demolition, waterproofing, setting, grouting, and sealing. We give you a clear timeline with your estimate.
Can you build a custom shower niche or bench?
Yes. We build waterproofed niches, benches, and curbless showers tiled to match the rest of the space.
What tile is best for a shower floor?
Smaller tiles and mosaics work well on shower floors because the extra grout lines add slip resistance and follow the slope to the drain. We help you choose a safe, attractive option.
