What’s under the tile matters most
The most important part of a shower installation happens before a single tile goes up. Tile and grout are not waterproof on their own, and skipping steps in the prep work is how showers end up leaking into walls and subfloors.
We use TCNA (Tile Council of North America) approved waterproofing methods, chosen to fit your tile, layout and budget, so water that gets past the surface goes down the drain instead of into your home.

Why proper prep protects your home
Mildew on grout joints or damage to sheetrock and baseboards near a shower are usually signs of a shower that wasn’t properly prepped before tile went in. A leak can take years to show on the surface while damage builds inside the walls — by the time you can see it, a full remodel is often the only fix.
We’re also happy to help you register the manufacturer warranty on your waterproofing and tile products, since most manufacturers offer strong coverage when their full product line is installed correctly.

5 questions to ask any shower tile contractor
A tiled shower is a big investment, so take your time choosing both the tile and the contractor. Before you hire, ask:
- Does the contractor specialize in shower tile installation?
- What materials are being used for waterproofing the substrate?
- Will a flood test be performed on the shower pan?
- Does the manufacturer of the installation products offer a warranty?
- Does the contractor offer a warranty on the workmanship?

We hired PhD Home Solutions to retile our almost 40 year old shower, which also had a slight leak from old grout seams. We have never had to deal with tile replacing, but working with Paul and Carrie from PhD made the process very easy.
