Our design build process helps homeowners coordinate shower layouts, tile selections, plumbing fixtures, glass enclosures, lighting, vanities, and flooring so every part of the bathroom works together visually and functionally. From demolition and framing to waterproofing and final installation, our team manages the details throughout the remodeling process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Showers & Tubs

Does Usher Building & Design design and build custom showers?


Yes. Usher Building & Design specializes in custom walk-in shower design, layout planning, waterproofing, tile installation, plumbing integration, and finish coordination as part of our full design-build remodeling process. We serve homeowners throughout Rocklin, Placer County, El Dorado County, and Sacramento County with custom shower and bathtub solutions ranging from primary bathroom renovations and walk-in shower conversions to curbless shower builds, freestanding tub installations, and complete bathroom remodels.

What types of showers does Usher build?


We build custom tile showers, walk-in showers, curbless showers with linear drains, expanded shower layouts, multi-fixture shower systems, and steam shower enclosures. Every shower project is planned around drain placement, waterproofing systems, plumbing layout, tile selection, glass enclosure coordination, lighting, and storage features before any demolition or framing begins.

What waterproofing systems do you use for custom showers?


We use proven waterproofing systems including traditional float shower systems as well as Hydroblok lifetime warrantied shower systems to ensure long term moisture protection behind tile in shower walls, shower floors, and wet areas. Proper waterproofing is one of the most critical and most commonly skipped steps in bathroom remodeling. A correctly waterproofed shower protects the structure of the home, prevents mold and moisture damage, and ensures tile installation performs reliably for decades. Every custom shower we build is waterproofed correctly from the start.

Can you convert a tub to a walk-in shower?


Yes. Tub-to-shower conversions are one of the most common bathroom remodeling requests we handle throughout Placer County and Sacramento County. The process involves demolition of the existing tub surround, framing, drain relocation if needed, waterproofing, tile installation, glass enclosure coordination, and plumbing fixture integration. Our team manages every phase of the conversion in-house from start to finish.

What is a curbless shower and can Usher build one?


A curbless shower eliminates the traditional step-over threshold and creates a seamless transition between the shower floor and the bathroom floor. Curbless showers require precise floor sloping, linear drain integration, and a waterproofing system designed for a zero-barrier application. They are one of the most requested features in high-end primary bathroom remodels and work well for both modern design aesthetics and accessibility-focused bathroom layouts. Our team handles everything from waterproofing and drain placement through tile installation and glass enclosure coordination.

Do you install freestanding bathtubs?


Yes. Freestanding soaking tub installation is a popular upgrade in primary bathroom remodels throughout Rocklin, Roseville, Granite Bay, El Dorado Hills, and the greater Placer County area. Freestanding tub installation involves plumbing rough-in coordination, floor reinforcement if needed, fixture selection, and integration with the overall bathroom layout and tile design. Our team coordinates every detail so the finished result looks intentional and functions correctly. We refer our clients to a local showroom to view and test freestanding tubs.

What shower features and upgrades do you offer?


We offer a wide range of custom shower features including built-in shower niches, floating benches, rainfall shower heads, multi-fixture shower systems, linear drains, glass shower enclosures, frameless glass doors, heated bathroom flooring, low maintenance tile surfaces, and accessibility-focused layout options. These upgrades improve daily comfort, organization, and the overall feel of the bathroom without wasting square footage.

Do you handle glass shower enclosures?


Yes. Glass door and shower enclosure coordination is part of our standard shower build process. We work with trusted glass partners to coordinate custom enclosure sizing, framing, door swing direction, hardware finish, and installation scheduling as part of the overall bathroom remodel. Frameless glass enclosures are a popular choice in custom walk-in shower builds throughout Placer County and Sacramento County.

Can you relocate shower drains or plumbing during a remodel?


Yes. Shower drain relocation and plumbing layout changes are handled in-house as part of our bathroom remodeling process. Whether the project involves expanding a shower footprint, converting a tub to a walk-in shower, reconfiguring a bathroom layout, or adding a second shower head or body spray system, our team coordinates all plumbing scope with our licensed trade partners from the rough-in phase through final fixture installation.

What accessibility options do you offer for showers and bathrooms?


We design and build accessibility-focused bathroom layouts including curbless showers, linear drain systems, wider shower entries, built-in benches, handheld shower fixtures, grab bar blocking, and low-threshold bathtub options. These features improve safety and long term usability for homeowners planning ahead or remodeling with accessibility in mind. Every layout is planned around the specific needs of the homeowner and the dimensions of the existing bathroom.

How does Usher coordinate a shower remodel with the rest of the bathroom?


Shower layout, tile selection, plumbing fixtures, glass enclosure, lighting, vanity, flooring, and storage are all coordinated during the design phase before any work begins. Our design-build process ensures every part of the bathroom works together visually and functionally so the finished result feels cohesive and well-planned rather than assembled piece by piece. From demolition and framing through waterproofing, tile, glass, and final fixtures, our team manages every phase in-house.
