Shower disaster turned dream come true on Mother’s Day!

Our client hired someone to build a brand new shower. The contractor they hired didn’t do the right thing, and it started leaking three months after being built. They called us to fix the problem. We removed the base of the shower and then installed a new lead shower pan and new shower floor tiles. There are no more leaks, and the client is happier than ever.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing Moms in the World!!
