Shower Waterproofing Systems
Every shower is waterproofed to a lifetime standard before tile touches the wall.
Overview
What this service includes.
Waterproofing is the single most important step in any shower or wet-area build. We install Schluter Kerdi, Laticrete Hydro Ban, and Wedi systems — sealed, seam-taped, and flood-tested before tile.

Client testimonials
What our clients say.
"Absolutely exceptional work. The attention to detail on our bookmatched porcelain slab wall exceeded every expectation. Communication was flawless throughout."
"We interviewed four contractors — Porcelanica was in a different league. Clean job site, precise install, and finished on schedule. Our home was returned to us better than we imagined."
"Zero-threshold linear-drain shower, waterproofed to spec, tiled with 32×32 porcelain. It looks like it belongs in a magazine. Nine months later, not a single issue."
"The mitered edges on our full-height backsplash are truly art. Every visitor comments. Worth every penny — and every day of the wait for slab selection."
