Iowa, with Des Moines as its primary metro, experiences a humid continental climate with cold winters and hot, humid summers. This climate necessitates durable, moisture-resistant materials for walk-in showers. Our services are available throughout the state.
For Iowa homeowners, the significant temperature variations and summer humidity require walk-in shower materials that can withstand moisture and temperature fluctuations. We prioritize waterproof surfaces and effective sealing to prevent mold and mildew, common issues in this climate. Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your existing bathroom's structure and plumbing.
Our installation procedure involves precise removal of your old tub or shower unit. We then prepare the subfloor and walls, ensuring a solid foundation for the new shower. If required, we reroute or install new plumbing lines to meet code and design specifications. The new walk-in shower base and enclosure are then carefully fitted and secured. Final steps include sealing all joints and installing your chosen fixtures. The complexity of plumbing work and the type of materials selected will influence the project's overall duration and investment. We offer a free phone consultation to provide a clear understanding of your specific project's requirements.
