White subway tile, a custom niche, a hand-laid pebble stone floor — and a homeowner who got their morning back.
This remodel set out to do one thing well: turn a dated, underused bathroom into a true walk-in shower retreat — something that looks custom because it is. White subway tile, a built-in niche, and a hand-laid pebble floor carry the room.
Replace the outdated tub with a full-height walk-in shower, brighten the room with clean white tile, and add the kind of detail — a built-in niche, natural stone underfoot — that makes a daily routine feel like a reset instead of a chore.
We demoed the existing tub and surround, rebuilt the shower from the studs out with proper waterproofing, and set white subway tile with a custom recessed niche. The floor is hand-laid pebble stone — every stone placed individually — finished with a frameless glass enclosure and updated fixtures.
Like most families, they needed the house to keep working during construction — clear daily communication, a contained work zone, and a bathroom schedule that never left them stranded. That's standard practice on every JD Build job: owners on site, dust contained, and a heads-up before every phase.
A cleaner, brighter, more functional bathroom with upgraded finishes and better daily use — the kind of space that photographs well but lives even better. The pebble floor gets the compliments; the waterproofing underneath is what makes it last.
In-progress shots included on purpose — the work under the tile matters as much as the tile.
