View details ↗02Full shower remodels in University Area start with tear-out and end with new tile, glass, and fixtures. We handle the mess, the haul-away, and the rebuild. Most remodels in the older homes near Idaho State University campus take three to five days once we start.
View details ↗03Tub-to-shower conversion is our most requested job in University Area. We pull the old tub, cap or reroute the drain, build a new shower pan, and install a low-threshold entry. Landlords near Idaho State University campus love these because they are easier to clean between tenants.
View details ↗04Barrier-free showers remove the curb entirely, which matters for aging-in-place clients in Riverside and South 5th Avenue. We reinforce the floor if needed, slope the pan correctly, and waterproof the whole wet area so water goes where it should.
View details ↗05ADA compliant shower installation in University Area follows ICC code for grab bar blocking, seat height, and clear floor space. We install grab bars, a folding shower seat, and a handheld showerhead so the shower works for everyone in the house.
View details ↗06Curbless showers need a recessed floor or a sloped pan, and we do both. In University Area homes with pier-and-beam floors, we sister joists and drop the subfloor to get the slope right. The result is a clean, modern look with no curb to trip over.
View details ↗07Low-threshold showers give you a small curb, usually two to four inches, which is easier to step over than a tub wall. We install these in University Area rentals and family homes where a full curbless job is not in the budget but safety still matters.
View details ↗08A shower pan is the foundation of the whole shower, and we install them right. We set the pan on a level bed of thinset mortar, connect the drain, and flood-test before tile goes down. In University Area, we see a lot of failed pans from cheap installs, and we fix them.
View details ↗09When a shower base cracks or flexes, water gets underneath and rots the floor. We replace walk-in shower bases in University Area homes, matching the new base to your existing tile or installing a new surround at the same time.
View details ↗10We install and replace shower valves from Moen, Delta, Kohler, Grohe, and Hansgrohe. In older University Area homes, we often find failing valves behind the wall, so we replace them while the wall is open and pressure-test before closing up.
View details ↗11Shower drain installation in University Area means getting the drain height and slope correct so water never pools. We use a drain wrench to set the drain body, then test with a full bucket of water before we tile. A bad drain is the number one cause of repeat shower leaks.
View details ↗12We handle shower plumbing and drainage for University Area homes, from moving a drain line to replacing old galvanized pipe. If your shower drains slow or backs up, we camera the line and fix the real problem, not just the symptom.
View details ↗13Waterproofing is the part you never see and the part that matters most. We install cement backer board, a waterproofing membrane, and a shower pan liner before any tile goes down. In University Area, where winters are cold and showers run hot, a proper membrane stops mold and rot.
View details ↗14We set ceramic tile, porcelain tile, natural stone tile, and glass mosaic tile in University Area showers. Our tile saw and wet saw get clean cuts, and our grout float and notched trowel get full coverage so tiles do not pop loose. We seal grout before we call the job done.
View details ↗15Acrylic shower panels and wall surrounds are a fast, low-maintenance option for University Area rentals. We install them over a waterproofed substrate so they last. No grout lines to scrub, which is a big deal in high turnover properties.
View details ↗16We install shower glass doors and enclosures from DreamLine, Vigo, and Sterling. In University Area, we measure twice because older walls are rarely plumb. A glass door that does not close right is a daily annoyance, and we make sure yours does.
View details ↗17Frameless shower doors give a clean, open look that fits modern University Area remodels. We set the hinges into blocking we install behind the tile, so the door stays true for years. We use quality silicone caulk and let it cure before you use the shower.
View details ↗18If your shower door will not close, drags on the track, or leaks at the hinge, we can usually fix it in one visit. We replace rollers, hinges, seals, and sweeps. For University Area rentals, this is a cheap fix that keeps tenants happy.
View details ↗19We install shower seats and benches in University Area showers, built with proper blocking and waterproofed before tile. A bench makes shaving easier and gives you a safe place to sit. We can do a built-in masonry bench or a fold-down teak seat.
View details ↗20Grab bars are only as strong as what they are anchored to. We open the wall, install solid blocking, then mount the grab bars so they hold real weight. For University Area clients aging in place, we place bars at the right height and angle.
View details ↗21A recessed shower niche keeps bottles off the floor and out of the way. We frame the niche, waterproof it, and tile it to match your shower. In University Area, we often add a niche during a remodel because it is easy while the wall is open.
View details ↗22Handheld showerheads are a simple upgrade that makes a big difference. We install them with a slide bar and a longer hose, and we check for leaks at the connection. For University Area families with kids or pets, this is a popular add-on.
View details ↗23A dark, steamy shower grows mold fast. We install recessed shower lights rated for wet locations and upgrade bath fans to move more air. In University Area homes with cold winters, a good fan also cuts down on window condensation.
View details ↗24We install shower enclosures and surrounds in University Area, from full acrylic kits to custom tile and glass. If you want a quick, clean update without a full remodel, a new surround is the way to go. We seal every seam with silicone caulk.

View details ↗26Shower leaks can come from the drain, the pan, the valve, or failed caulking. We track down the source in University Area homes instead of guessing. Once we find it, we fix it and test the repair before we leave.
View details ↗27Failed caulking and grout let water into the wall. We cut out the old caulk, clean the joint, and re-caulk with silicone. For grout, we regrout and seal. In University Area, this is the cheapest way to extend the life of a shower.
View details ↗28When a shower is too far gone to repair, we replace it. We tear out the old shower, inspect the framing, and build a new one from the studs out. For University Area landlords, a full replacement is often cheaper than repeated repairs.

Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside and restricts flow, so a new shower valve may not fix low water pressure. If we open the wall and find it, we can replace the run while we are in there.
We inspect the supply lines during the walk-through and quote the replacement upfront if needed. That way there are no surprises mid-job, and your new shower gets full pressure from day one.

A flexing floor cracks shower pans and pops tile. In Riverside and older South 5th Avenue homes, the joists may not be stiff enough for a heavy tile shower without reinforcement.
We sister joists and add blocking before we set the pan. It adds a day to the job, but it stops the movement that causes cracks. We would rather do it right than come back to fix a failed pan.

Pocatello winters drop well below freezing, and shower supply lines in exterior walls can freeze. A frozen line can burst and flood the bathroom.
