Custom Shower Installation Arvada Homeowners Rely On
Remodel Pro Colorado handles custom shower installation in Arvada and across the Denver metro, building walk-in showers, tub-to-shower conversions, and fully tiled enclosures that hold up to daily use and Colorado's hard water. Tim Overhultz, a veteran and 17-year remodeling contractor, runs every project personally. That means the person who gives you the estimate is the person who shows up with tools. If you're weighing a new custom shower and want straight answers on scope, timeline, and what it will actually cost, call (720) 819-5919 for a free estimate.
A custom shower installation covers more than hanging glass and setting tile. It starts with the pan or base, moves through waterproofing and cement board, then tile or stone, then fixtures, then the enclosure. Each layer matters. Skip a step or use the wrong membrane and you're looking at water intrusion inside the wall cavity within a couple of years. Arvada's water supply runs hard, typically in the 15-plus grains-per-gallon range, so grout selection and sealing matter more here than they would in a softer-water market. We use materials rated for Colorado's temperature swings and low humidity, which affects how adhesives and sealants cure. Project cost depends on shower size, enclosure type (frameless glass runs higher than a simple framed unit), tile or stone selection, fixture grade, and whether the existing plumbing needs to be relocated. Every job is different. Contact Remodel Pro Colorado for an accurate estimate.
What We Build
Shower Types and Enclosure Options
The enclosure you pick changes the look, the maintenance routine, and the price.
Frameless Glass Enclosures
No metal frame around the perimeter means nothing to trap soap scum and mildew. Frameless units use thicker tempered glass, typically 3/8 or 1/2 inch, and minimal hardware. They're the cleanest look and the highest upfront cost. Good fit if you're doing a full bathroom remodel and want it to last 20-plus years without looking dated.
Semi-Frameless Enclosures
Frame around the fixed panels, frameless on the door. You get most of the open visual and a lower price point than fully frameless. This is the most common choice for mid-range bathroom renovations in Arvada. Easier to source locally and faster to install than fully frameless custom units.
Walk-In Open Showers
No door at all. A well-designed wet room or walk-in with a linear drain handles water containment without glass hardware to maintain. Works best in larger bathrooms. We engineer the slope and drainage before a single tile goes down.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
If the tub hasn't been used in years, converting that footprint into a walk-in shower gives you back usable space and a fixture people actually want. We handle demo, pan installation, waterproofing, tile, and enclosure. See our tub-to-shower conversion details for what that scope typically involves.
Custom Tile Showers
Tile selection drives the final look more than any other decision. Large-format porcelain, subway, mosaic accent strips, herringbone patterns, natural stone. We'll talk through what cleans easily in Colorado's hard water and what needs more maintenance so you're not surprised two years from now. Check out our tile installation service for a full breakdown of material options.
Shower Pan and Base Options
Pre-sloped foam pan systems, mud-bed custom pans, and prefab acrylic bases each have a place. Mud-bed pans are built to any dimension and are the right call for odd-shaped shower footprints or when you want large-format tile on the floor. Prefab bases install faster and cost less. We'll tell you which one fits your project honestly.
How a Custom Shower Installation Works
Six steps from demo to your first shower.
- 01
Demo and Inspection
We remove the existing tub, surround, or shower unit. Before anything else goes in, we inspect the subfloor and wall framing for rot, mold, or structural issues. If we find a problem, we tell you immediately with photos. Skipping this step is how water damage gets buried under new tile.
- 02
Waterproofing and Substrate
Cement board goes on the walls. A waterproofing membrane covers the pan and any area that sees water. This is not optional and it's not visible once the tile goes up, which is exactly why some contractors skip it. We don't. Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles make a failed membrane a faster disaster here than in warmer climates.
- 03
Tile, Fixtures, and Enclosure
Tile gets set, grouted, and sealed. Fixtures and hardware go in after the tile is cured. The glass enclosure is measured and installed last. Final walkthrough with you before we pack up. If something isn't right, we fix it before we leave, not after you've called three times.
