Choose Your Shower Project in Frisco
Walk-In Shower Remodeling
Upgrade layout, accessibility, and finish quality with a properly waterproofed walk-in shower system built to perform long-term.
Tub-to-Shower Conversions
Replace an unused tub with a safer, more functional shower designed around plumbing, slope, and code requirements.
Shower Rebuilds (Failed Waterproofing / Leaks)
When a shower pan shifts, drains poorly, or moisture has reached the substrate, the correct fix is a full system rebuild not just cosmetic tile.
What Our Frisco Shower Remodeling Scope Includes
Every shower remodel in Frisco is built as a complete wet-area system — not tile applied over existing conditions.
- Demolition to expose and evaluate underlying conditions
- Substrate and subfloor assessment and correction
- Waterproofing membrane system installation
- Drain slope planning and water management
- Plumbing coordination as scope requires
- Tile and finish installation (walls, floors, niches, benches)
- Glass enclosure coordination (frameless or semi-frameless)
- Permit application and inspection coordination when required
- Final walkthrough and written workmanship warranty
Written scope of work provided before demolition begins. No surprises on billing day.

Why Frisco Homeowners Choose a Certified Contractor
Frisco homeowners call us after previous remodels failed, shortcuts that weren’t visible until moisture damage appeared. Our company structure prevents that outcome.
At The Flooring & Remodeling Shop, we are a family-owned, certified general contractor. All work is performed by trained, in-house crews with no subcontracting. We carry $1,000,000 general liability insurance and full workers’ compensation coverage.
This structure protects:
- Your home and property during construction
- Your project outcome under one accountable team
- Your liability exposure if something goes wrong on-site
Single point of accountability from demo through final walkthrough.
Frisco Shower Conditions We See Most Often
Frisco’s housing spans multiple construction eras. Starting conditions vary — and we evaluate each project before assuming anything.
Older Frisco Homes (Pre-Modern Waterproofing)
- Settled mud-bed pans with uneven slope
- Mortar beds with absorbed moisture
- Plumbing materials requiring evaluation
1990s-2010s Frisco Homes
- Builder-grade shower assemblies with improper drainage slope
- Backer board installed without waterproofing membrane
- Fiberglass surrounds cracking or delaminating
Newer Frisco Homes
- Undersized shower footprints in primary bathrooms
- Standard-grade fixtures that haven’t held up
- Upgrades driven by lifestyle preference, not failure
We don’t start with assumptions — we start with what’s actually there.

Our Shower System Standards (What Prevents Failure)
Here is where most Frisco shower remodels succeed or fail.
Waterproofing Membrane Systems
We install properly specified membranes — sheet, liquid-applied, or foam substrate — and treat all penetrations and transitions as primary failure points. Every one is sealed.
Drain Slope and Water Management
Standing water accelerates membrane and grout deterioration. We plan correct slope and integrate the drain assembly with the waterproofing surface before any tile goes in.
Substrate and Wet-Area Backing
We use cement board or foam substrate systems matched to the installation type. No tile over compromised or moisture-saturated backing.
Ventilation Planning
Insufficient fan capacity destroys grout and creates mold conditions. When a bathroom’s ventilation doesn’t match the shower footprint, we address it as part of scope.
Durability Over Cosmetics
There’s a difference between a shower that looks new and one that is built new. We focus on long-term system performance — including the steps not visible after installation.
Shower remodeling has one of the highest failure rates when contractors subcontract work or carry inadequate insurance. Our structure eliminates both risks.
In-House Crews (No Outsourcing)
Our demolition, waterproofing, tile, and finish work is completed by our own trained teams. One standard. One point of accountability. No rotating subcontractors.
$1,000,000 General Liability Insurance
If property damage occurs during the project, you are protected under our policy. Insurance certificates are available on request, and we can name the homeowner as additional insured when required.
Workers’ Compensation Coverage
Liability for on-site injuries does not fall on the homeowner. Our crews are covered under our workers’ compensation policy.
1-Year Workmanship Warranty
If installation-related issues appear within the warranty period, we return and address them. Coverage is provided in writing at final walkthrough.
Permits may be required when:
- Plumbing is relocated or drain position changes
- New rough-in plumbing is installed for a conversion
- Electrical work is involved (GFCI, ventilation, lighting)
- Structural modifications are required for layout changes
When permits apply, inspection sequencing matters:
- Rough-in inspection before walls close
- Waterproofing verification (where applicable) before tile is installed
- Final inspection at project completion
We handle permit applications and coordinate all inspections with the City of Frisco when required.
Many Frisco communities — including Starwood, Newman Village, and Phillips Creek Ranch — have HOA rules affecting active construction. Common considerations:
- Dumpster placement and debris removal
- Work hours and noise restrictions
- Contractor access and parking requirements
- Shared wall or utility policies in certain neighborhoods
We identify these requirements before work begins
Most shower remodels complete within 2-4 weeks after construction begins.
Timeline variables include:
- Demolition scope and substrate condition discovered during opening
- Waterproofing cure time (never skipped or compressed)
- Custom glass enclosure lead times
- Permit and inspection scheduling
- Specialty tile or hardware lead times
Realistic timelines are set in writing before construction begins.
5 Mistakes to Avoid When Hiring a Plano Shower Contractor
- 1.) Hiring a tile installer for a full wet-area system rebuild
- 2.) Choosing an uninsured or underinsured contractor
- 3.) Accepting subcontracted labor without clear, single-point accountability
- 4.) Skipping permit review when plumbing, electrical, or structural scope triggers it
- 5.) Choosing the lowest bid that omits waterproofing steps not visible in the proposal
Our Process: What to Expect
- Consultation and site evaluation — no phone-only estimates
- Written scope of work and design selections
- Permit applications and inspection scheduling when required
- Construction sequence: demo, substrate, waterproofing, tile, glass, all in the correct order
- Final walkthrough and written warranty documentation
FAQs: Shower Remodeling in Frisco
Do I need a permit?
Depends on plumbing, electrical, and structural scope. We evaluate during planning and handle all required applications with the City of Frisco.
How long will the project take?
Most projects complete within 2-4 weeks after construction begins. Conversions with new plumbing rough-in typically take longer.
Can I stay home during construction?
In most cases, yes. Disruption is concentrated in the bathroom. Any water service interruptions are short and communicated in advance.
What actually makes a shower waterproof?
Why not just hire a tile installer?
Do you handle glass enclosure installation?
