5. Setting Tile and Building the Floor — Once waterproofing is complete, our installers lay the tile according to the approved design. Large-format tiles need experienced hands to produce a finished look that lasts.
6. Mounting Hardware and Enclosures — Showerheads, valves, and controls are set in place and verified for proper operation. Sliding or pivot door systems get installed with precision to seal the space properly.
7. Quality Review and Handoff — Prior to closing out the project, we conducts a thorough inspection with the homeowner to confirm everything meets expectations. Any touch-ups are handled immediately.
