The Superior Installation Difference

Why Our Showers Last Longer

Most shower companies talk about colors, glass, and fixtures. Very few explain why their installations actually last. Here’s what happens behind the walls of every shower we build.

It Starts Behind the Walls

What You See Is Only Half the Story

Most homeowners only see the finished shower. We focus just as much on everything behind it. A beautiful shower is only as good as the installation underneath.

Down to the Studs

We Remove Everything Down to the Studs

Unlike companies that simply install over existing materials whenever possible, we begin by exposing the wall framing so we can properly inspect and prepare the space. This allows us to identify issues that would otherwise remain hidden.

We Inspect Before We Build

Nothing Gets Covered Up

Once the walls are open, we inspect for:

✓Water damage
✓Mold (when visible)
✓Structural concerns
✓Plumbing issues
✓Improper framing

Problems are addressed before the new shower is installed — not covered up.

We Build Straight, Square Walls

A Difference You Won’t Notice Until It’s Done Right

One of the biggest differences in a premium installation is something homeowners rarely notice until it’s done correctly. Before installing the shower system, we:

✓Check wall alignment
✓Shim framing where necessary
✓Square corners
✓Create flat installation surfaces

The result is cleaner seams, tighter joints, and a more refined finished appearance.

Waterproofing Matters

Protecting What You Cannot See

Water is the number one enemy of any bathroom. Our installation process is designed to properly protect the areas behind your new shower before the finished walls are installed. This provides confidence that the beauty on the surface is supported by quality workmanship underneath.

Exact waterproofing and fastening methods follow the selected manufacturer’s installation instructions and the conditions we find in your home. Not every shower uses an identical assembly.

Quality Materials Matter

We Don’t Choose Products Because They’re Cheap

We select materials based on:

✓Durability
✓Performance
✓Appearance
✓Long-term value

That’s why we install premium Swanstone and CASTICO shower systems. Both are non-porous and resist staining, so the wall system holds up as well as the framing behind it.

Precision Installation

Premium Products Deserve Premium Installation

Every panel, fixture, niche, glass enclosure, and accessory is installed with attention to detail — because even small details affect the finished appearance.

One Installation Standard, Two Collections

Every Swanstone or CASTICO wall system gets the same removal, inspection, waterproofing and precision installation.

Final Inspection

Before Every Project Is Complete

We perform a detailed walkthrough to ensure:

✔Everything operates correctly
✔Caulking is complete
✔Fixtures are secure
✔Glass is adjusted properly
✔The shower is cleaned
✔The homeowner is completely satisfied

Why This Matters

A shower should still look beautiful years from now.

That’s why Superior Showers focuses on what’s behind the finished walls just as much as what you see every day.
