Showers
Tiled showers are one of our specialties. When it comes to installing tile in your shower one of the most important aspects of the shower is never even seen.
The work done before the tile installation needs to be precise and effective to ensure any water that makes it past the tile and grout goes down the drain and not into your walls and subfloor. This can cause major damage to your home! Most people and sadly even some contractors believe that tile and grout are waterproof, however, that is not the case. If steps are skipped during the preparation of the shower and waterproofing, you could find yourself with a leaking shower.
Unfortunately, many of our clients call us after they start to notice excessive mildew growing on their grout joints or see damage to the sheetrock or baseboard directly next to their new shower. This is often the result of a shower not properly prepared for tile installation. Unfortunately, if you can see water damage from a leaking shower, in most cases the only fix is a complete remodel. It can sometimes take years for a leaky shower to show itself on the surface, meanwhile, the damage is taking place inside the walls.
There are multiple acceptable and TCNA (Tile Council of N. America) approved ways to prepare a shower for tile installation. We are familiar with all of them and depending on your tile choice, location, and budget we will always use one of the approved and time tested methods for shower tile installation and waterproofing. Many of the materials manufacturers offer great warranties when using their complete product line and we are happy to help you register for the warranty.
Custom showers offer a world of possibilities when it comes to enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. To elevate your custom shower experience, consider integrating a range of accessories. Grab bars, not only provide essential support for stability but can also be seamlessly incorporated into the design, blending effortlessly with your chosen décor. Linear drains are another invaluable addition, ensuring efficient water drainage while lending a sleek, modern look to the shower floor. When it comes to lighting, carefully selected fixtures can set the mood and highlight key design elements within your shower space. Lastly, for those seeking an inclusive and accessible shower, handicap-friendly features like roll-in entry and non-slip flooring ensure that everyone can enjoy a safe and convenient shower experience. These accessories not only cater to your unique needs but also add a touch of luxury and functionality to your custom shower oasis.
When considering a large investment like a tiled shower, we urge you to take your time when choosing both the tile itself and the contractor you will hire. Take into consideration these 5 points.
- Does the contractor specialize in shower tile installation?
- What materials are being used for the waterproofing of 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?

Highly recommend Ryan and B&R. They installed a large tiled shower project for us, they are prompt, professional, and their work is GREAT! Thank you again guys!
Ryan installed the backsplash in my kitchen. Ryan did a fantastic job. I always call Ryan when I have a tile job to be done. He is reliable, always on time, always cleans up at the end of the day and does a great job.
Ryan and Sean of B&R Floor Covering completed a major renovation in our master bath; they dismantled the poorly constructed shower area and completely rebuilt it. We were impressed by: their willingness to problem solve, their clear communication skills, their dependability in arriving on time, their respect for our home and property, and their excellent craftsmanship. We endorse and recommend this company.
Another great job by B&R Floor Covering! They removed my mother’s old dated shower tile, expanded the shower, and installed updated wall and floor tiles that we had chosen. Fantastic job! Well planned out and always neat throughout the entire process. This is the fourth project I have hired B&R for over the past four years. You can’t go wrong with them. You’ll be very pleased.
We had our bonus room carpet stretched yesterday by B&R Floor Covering. Ryan Muniz and his helper were very professional and meticulous in their work. They did a great job and we were very happy with the results. We would definitely recommend B&R Floor Covering.
I am so pleased to have worked with Ryan and B&R Floor Covering. We purchased a home that needed quite a bit of work and hired Ryan to remove the old tile flooring and install new tile in our kitchen, three bathrooms and our laundry room. After that was completed we then had him return to install a backsplash in our kitchen. Ryan is an absolute pleasure to work with and does a phenomenal job. He is on time, dependable and truly cares about his work product and his customers. I cannot recommend him enough!
We were very pleased with Ryan's expertise and ability to answer all our questions regarding our grout repair. He did an excellent job, in a timely manner, and we are happy with the way our tile looks now.
This company was very professional and we’re on time! That’s a big deal these days. Took old carpet out and put new floors down for me.

Will be using them again
