Walk-In Showers in Tallahassee
Tallahassee is a capital city and a college town, and its bathrooms reflect both. State workers in 1970s ranch homes. Professors in Midtown bungalows. Landlords with student rentals near FSU and FAMU that need durable, low-maintenance bathrooms.
We install walk-in showers across Tallahassee and Leon County. Each of those markets wants something a little different, and we build for all of them.
Rental Bathrooms That Last
Student rentals punish bathrooms. The winning formula: porcelain tile (not natural stone), epoxy grout (mold-resistant, no sealing), a solid-surface bench or corner seat, and quality valves that survive years of hard use. It costs more than a fiberglass surround up front and far less over a decade of tenants.
Historic and Mid-Century Homes
Tallahassee's older neighborhoods — Betton Hills, Myers Park, Indianhead — have bathrooms with real character and real plumbing problems. Cast iron drains, galvanized supply lines, tile set in mud beds. We handle the old-house realities: careful demolition, plumbing updates while walls are open, and a new shower that respects the home's character.
Historic District Guidelines
Tallahassee's historic districts — Myers Park, Los Robles, Lafayette Park — have design guidelines, but they apply to exteriors. Interior bathroom remodels are not subject to historic review, which simplifies things. What does matter in these old homes is the construction itself: plaster walls, old-growth framing, sometimes no subfloor where you expect one. We have worked in these neighborhoods and we know what to expect behind the walls. The shower gets fully modern plumbing and waterproofing; the house keeps its soul.
One Tallahassee-specific note: the clay soil here shifts with the seasons, which can stress rigid shower pans over time. We account for this in our installs with flexible waterproofing membranes and proper substrate prep — details that prevent callbacks years later.
