Homes we work in around North Vancouver
North Vancouver is two municipalities and one climate: postwar neighbourhoods on the flats, custom builds up the hillside, and rain that tests every wet area harder than anywhere else we work.
Showers in postwar bungalows and split-levels in Lynn Valley, Norgate and Upper Lonsdale 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.
Hillside custom builds in Edgemont, Deep Cove and Blueridge 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 Lower Lonsdale and Central Lonsdale mid-rises, 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 North Vancouver.
Can you rebuild a shower that's leaking in North Vancouver?
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.
