Homes we work in around Coquitlam
Coquitlam and the rest of the Tri-Cities are family-home territory: 70s and 80s houses in Ranch Park and Austin Heights, new builds on Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau, and towers filling in around Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam.
Showers in the 1970s and 80s homes in Ranch Park, Harbour Chines and Austin Heights were mostly built on mortar beds or greenboard, and by now the water has usually found its way in. We open the wall, check the framing and subfloor for damage, and rebuild the shower as a complete system so the new tile is protected for decades rather than a few years.
The Burke Mountain and Westwood Plateau builds and the newer townhomes across Port Coquitlam ask for showers at architectural scale: curbless entries, linear drains, floor-to-ceiling large-format porcelain and full slab walls. The waterproofing and the slope are planned before the framing closes so the drain, the tile grid and the glass all resolve together.
In the Coquitlam Centre and Burquitlam towers, a failed shower means a claim from the unit below. We build showers in strata buildings with a full membrane, tested for leaks before tile goes on, and we manage the elevator, noise and common-area rules so the building stays on side.

FAQ
Common questions in Coquitlam.
Can you rebuild a shower that's leaking in Coquitlam?
Yes, and it's the most common shower call we get. A leaking shower almost always failed beneath the tile, so we rebuild the assembly rather than patch the surface. We'll show you what we find behind the wall before we close it up again.
How long does a shower tile installation take?
A standard walk-in shower usually runs five to eight working days from demolition to grouted tile, with the waterproofing cure and leak test built in. Curbless floors, natural stone and complex layouts run longer. The schedule is confirmed after the site visit.
Do you install the shower glass too?
We coordinate it. The glass installer measures after the tile is finished, and we plan the layout so the panel lands on a grout joint and the curb or floor is ready for it. You get one clean line where glass meets tile.
