Another large remodel job in 2011 with kitchen and bath included a walk-in shower in Alameda. This client opted for a shower that could be fully wheelchair accessible. The end result is a beautiful, fully tiled large shower with no curb, making for a smooth transition from bathroom floor to shower.

I’m about to embark on another project in Berkeley where the client has requested their tub be removed and a full shower installed in it’s place. The shower will have a prefab, marble shower pan with tile walls and, like the others, bench seating.

In my own home we considered replacing our main bathroom, which currently has a tub and separate shower stall with a fully tiled decorative roman style bath that included a shower. But with two kids who still largely prefer baths, we opted to go with a more modern looking Duravit tub with tiled walls for a shower. When we start that job, we’ll keep you posted on the progress in our blog. Though, as my wife says, contractors families are like the cobblers kids with no shoes. While we have the materials and know-how to remodel our own bathroom, actually doing it is another matter entirely.
