12 questions
Process & Timeline01
It depends on the system. Tub to Walk-In conversions typically take 2–6 days, and Crafted Tile showers take longer because tile, waterproofing and grout need cure time. Your written quote includes the timeline before anything starts.
Warranty & Protection02
Yes. Every tile shower we build goes over a bonded waterproofing membrane that meets ANSI A118.10, and it's included in every Crafted Tile tier. Acrylic and composite systems are prepped and sealed as their manufacturer specifies. The waterproofing/prep stage is photographed for your Proof Pack before it's covered.
We provide a 1-year labor warranty covering our installation workmanship. Materials are not included — manufacturer warranties apply where applicable and documentation is passed through to you.
Pricing & Estimates02
Each package lists what it includes — typically the wall system, fixtures, waterproofing or prep, demolition, haul-away and cleanup. Glass doors and enclosures are custom-quoted separately after a free measurement. Your written price changes only through a change order you approve in writing.
We use a milestone-based payment structure: 40% deposit when you sign, 30% the day demolition starts (or the day work starts, on projects with no demolition), and 30% after your final approval.
Materials & Design02
Our packages are priced with the materials each tier lists, and that is what our quotes and our labor warranty are built on. If you have a specific product in mind, bring it up at your free in-home visit: we'll tell you whether we can use it, and your written quote will show exactly what changes before you sign.
Frameless glass uses thicker panels (3/8" to 1/2") with minimal hardware for a modern, open look. Semi-frameless uses a frame on the top and sides but no frame on the door itself — a great balance of style and value.
General03
We serve 12 Triangle cities: Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Garner, Fuquay-Varina, Knightdale and Clayton. If your city is not on the list, send us a message and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
Plumbing or electrical permits, when required, are pulled by the NC-licensed plumber or electrician who performs that work; we coordinate the process and inspections.
Showerly is new. We'll publish our own project photos as jobs are completed.
Accessibility01
Yes. Curbless and accessible showers are custom-quoted after a free in-home assessment. They are built with proper slope and linear drains for barrier-free entry — popular for aging-in-place and modern design.
Scope & Changes01
If we discover rot, mold, or structural issues during demolition, we stop and document everything with photos. You receive a written change order with exact pricing before any additional work proceeds.
