Washington State, encompassing Spokane, Bellevue, and Everett, has a varied climate with wet winters and warm, dry summers. This requires careful consideration of moisture management and durable materials for walk-in showers. Our services are available across the state.
In Washington State, the frequent rain and high humidity in coastal areas and the drier inland summers present unique challenges for walk-in shower installations. We select materials and employ installation techniques that prioritize water resistance and durability. Our process starts with a thorough assessment of your existing bathroom's structure and plumbing systems.
Our installation begins with the removal of your old tub or shower. We then prepare the subfloor and walls, ensuring a sound and dry foundation. Any necessary plumbing modifications are made to meet current codes and your specific design. The new walk-in shower base and enclosure are then precisely installed. The final steps involve sealing all seams meticulously 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 provide a free phone consultation to outline these details for your Spokane, Bellevue, or Everett home.
