Our Shower & Tub Installation Process
From first contact to completed work, here's how we approach every shower & tub installation service call:
Assess the Rough-In
We check existing supply and drain locations against the new fixture requirements and plan any modifications needed.
Prepare Supply Lines
Hot and cold supply stubs are set at the right depth and location for the valve being installed.
Install the Valve
The shower valve is secured in the wall, connected to supply lines, and positioned for the finished wall depth.
Set the Drain
The drain assembly is installed at the correct height for the shower pan or tub and connected to the trap and drain line.
Test Under Pressure
Before any tile or surround goes up, we test all connections under full water pressure to confirm no leaks.
