How long does a shower tile job take?

A full shower surround is typically 3–5 days — one to two days of substrate and waterproofing, two days of setting, then grout and cure time before the shower goes back into service.

Do you waterproof behind the tile?

Always in wet areas. Cement backer board plus a membrane at the walls and pan, with every seam and penetration taped and sealed. That's what keeps water out of the wall cavity.

Can you match tile that's already in the house?

Often yes, if the tile is still in production or you have attic or garage spares. If it can't be matched, we'll tell you before starting and show you options for an intentional accent or a full replacement.

Do you install large-format tile?

Yes. Large-format tile is set with a leveling system and a modified thinset rated for the tile size, which is how you avoid lippage across the joints.

Do you reinstall the shower valve and glass door?

Yes. Fixtures and trim come off for the tile work and go back on afterward, and we can install a new glass door as part of the same job.

Tile fails at the waterproofing, not the tile. A shower built over drywall will look perfect for a year and then start growing mold behind the wall — so wet areas get cement backer board and a proper membrane before a single tile is set.

Layout matters just as much. We dry-lay every job first so full tiles land on the focal wall and cuts get pushed to corners and edges, instead of ending up with a sliver of tile at the shower valve.

Specifications

Applications: Shower and tub surrounds, kitchen backsplash, floor tile, fireplace surrounds and accent walls.
Substrate: Cement backer board or an approved waterproof substrate in wet areas — never drywall behind a shower.
Waterproofing: Roll-on or sheet membrane at shower walls and pans, with seams and penetrations taped and sealed before setting.
Setting materials: Modified thinset appropriate to the tile type, 1/16-inch to 1/8-inch grout joints, and a tile leveling system on large-format tile to prevent lippage.
Grout & sealing: Sanded or unsanded grout matched to the tile, 100% silicone at every change of plane, and penetrating sealer on natural stone and porous grout.

Typical timeline

A standard backsplash is 1–2 days. A full shower surround runs 3–5 days including waterproofing and grout cure.

Before and after: tile work

Old, failing tile removed, the substrate rebuilt and waterproofed, and new tile set to a dry-laid layout.

How we install tile

Waterproof the substrate, dry-lay the layout, set, then grout and seal.

1
Demo and inspection
Existing tile comes out and the substrate is inspected. Any rot, soft board or past water damage is replaced before we rebuild.
2
Waterproof the substrate
Cement backer board goes up in wet areas, seams are taped, and a waterproof membrane is rolled or sheeted over the walls and pan.
3
Dry-lay the layout
Tiles are laid out dry first so full tiles land at the focal point and cuts are pushed to the corners where they belong.
4
Set, grout and seal
Tile is set with a leveling system to prevent lippage, grouted, siliconed at every change of plane, and sealed where the material calls for it.
