Louisiana, with metros like Baton Rouge and Shreveport, experiences a hot, humid subtropical climate with distinct wet and dry seasons. This requires durable, moisture-resistant materials for walk-in showers. Our services are available across the state.
In Louisiana, the high humidity and frequent rainfall necessitate walk-in shower materials and installation techniques that prevent moisture intrusion and promote longevity. We assess your current bathroom for structural integrity and plumbing readiness. Our focus is on creating a water-tight and durable enclosure.
The installation process begins with the careful removal of your existing tub or shower unit. We then prepare the subfloor and walls, ensuring a solid and dry foundation. Any necessary plumbing modifications are made to meet current codes and your specific design needs. The new walk-in shower base and enclosure are then precisely installed. The final steps involve meticulously sealing all seams and installing your chosen fixtures. The extent of plumbing work and the specific materials selected will influence the project's timeline and overall investment. We offer a free phone consultation to outline these details for your Baton Rouge or Shreveport home.
