How Our Tub-to-Shower Conversion Is Built

Every tub-to-shower conversion is handled as a full construction project. Our licensed contractors and skilled tradespeople coordinate each step. They ensure safety, code compliance, and long-term performance for homes in McMinnville and the surrounding areas.

Evaluation & Planning

  • Before anything is built, we look closely at the subfloor, wall framing, and drain placement to catch problems that don’t show on the surface.
  • Layouts are adjusted to fit the structure, with options for aging-in-place features like low-threshold or curbless entries.
  • Permit requirements are confirmed, and the project is planned to meet ORSC standards and local building rules.
  • Walk-in, curbless, and wet-room layouts are designed to use the space efficiently without forcing the room into an awkward shape.

Design & Layout Options

  • Choose from walk-in, curbless, or wet-room configurations.
  • Layouts are planned around typical McMinnville home dimensions so movement feels natural, not tight or forced.
  • Wall and floor finishes are chosen for durability, simple upkeep, and a clean look that holds up over time.

Material & System Selection

  • Waterproofing membranes, sloped bases, and linear or center drains work together to manage water reliably.
  • Cement backer board or moisture-resistant substrates sit behind tile and solid-surface walls to support the finish materials.
  • Licensed plumbers install valves, shower heads, and trim so the system meets safety and code requirements.

Building & Structural Work

  • The existing tub, tile, and any compromised framing are removed carefully.
  • The structure is built to support proper drain slope, curbless transitions, and full wet-room waterproofing where required.
  • Carpenters, plumbers, and electricians coordinate work so quality and code requirements are met without rework.

Finishing & Quality Assurance

  • Fixtures, trim, and wall and floor finishes are installed without disturbing the waterproofing layers behind them.
  • Final checks confirm slip resistance, ventilation performance, and overall code compliance.
  • The space is cleaned and ready for everyday use.

Why This Approach Matters

Water damage rarely shows up right away. Managing every layer of the project protects flooring, framing, and finishes from moisture over time. A properly built shower delivers safer access, reliable function, and durability you don’t have to think about after installation.

I needed an opinion from a contractor regarding issues in a home I was looking to purchase. Mark was very helpful. He told me what he thought about the issues, and why. He didn’t overstate the problems, or try to sell me anything. He acted trustworthy, and that means a lot to me.
