Missouri experiences a continental climate with hot, humid summers and cold winters, requiring careful attention to waterproofing and insulation. The housing stock includes a range of older homes with potentially complex plumbing and structural layouts, as well as more modern constructions. Understanding these variations is crucial for providing a seamless walk-in tub with shower installation that meets the specific needs of homeowners in Columbia and across the state.
