Walk-In Shower Conversions

Walk-In Shower Conversions

Barrier-free designs that prevent ice dam damage in Boston's older homes.

Converting tubs to walk-in showers isn't just about accessibility - it's a practical solution for Boston homeowners tired of dealing with ice dams and leaky enclosures. Our frameless glass showers feature slope-tested floors that drain properly even as your Jamaica Plain triple-decker settles.

We install Schluter waterproofing systems with extra protection against humidity, and use radiant heat mats to prevent cold spots in winter. For historic homes, we design showers that complement original features - like subway tile patterns matching your 1920s Brookline apartment's existing bath.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a walk-in shower make my bathroom colder?

We install heated floors and towel warmers as standard - many clients find their converted showers feel cozier than old clawfoot tubs.
