Shower Installation in Denver

Shower Installation Types We Handle

We work on the full range of installation projects: new shower installation, complete shower replacement, and tub-to-shower conversions. Each type involves different plumbing work, and our team is equipped to handle what’s behind the wall, not just what’s visible.

New Shower Installation & Rough-In Work

Adding a shower to a basement bathroom, an ADU, or a new bathroom addition requires new drain and supply line runs before any fixture goes in. This rough-in work establishes the foundation for everything that follows, including proper drain slope and venting to meet code. Our team handles the rough-in and the installation as a single coordinated project.

Shower Replacement

Replacing an existing shower often involves more than swapping out the enclosure. Depending on the condition of the current system, the project can include valve replacement, shower pan replacement, or drain line upgrades. We assess the full picture before recommending a scope of work, so clients aren’t caught off guard by conditions discovered mid-project.

Tub-to-Shower Conversion

Converting a tub to a shower requires plumbing rough-in adjustments, typically drain repositioning and supply line reconfiguration. Walk-in and curbless designs are a frequent request for homeowners who want improved accessibility or a more open layout. Fixture and surface choices, including showerhead type, valve configuration, and enclosure, are part of the installation conversation. For projects involving drain relocation, we coordinate with the appropriate Denver permitting and inspection offices.

We serve single-family homes, multi-unit residential properties, and commercial spaces across Denver and the surrounding metro area.

Our Shower Installation Process

Every project starts with a conversation. We ask focused questions about the existing plumbing, the space, and what the client wants to achieve. At the property, we assess the full picture: the shower opening, surrounding walls, connected drain lines, and supply lines. If existing drain lines show signs of buildup or damage, we address them before the new installation goes in.

Options and pricing are explained clearly before any work begins, and the client chooses the path that fits the property and budget. During the job, drop cloths, shoe covers, and careful tool setup protect the home. After installation, we test for proper flow, drainage, and fixture operation, then review the completed work and provide maintenance recommendations before the final walkthrough.

Denver Conditions That Shape Shower Installation

Denver’s housing stock ranges from pre-war bungalows with original or retrofitted plumbing to newer construction with its own set of installation considerations. Our team is familiar with both ends of that spectrum, including the rough-in configurations and material types each presents.

Denver’s water carries elevated mineral content that causes scale buildup in showerheads, valves, and supply lines over time, accelerating fixture wear and influencing installation decisions. The City and County of Denver requires a plumbing permit for shower replacement and new shower installation to support drainage and venting that meet current code. We handle that coordination so clients don’t have to navigate the permitting process on their own. We also serve Denver-area communities including Aurora, Centennial, Englewood, Littleton, and Parker.
