We handle full shower construction from substrate prep through final grout and seal. Materials include ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, glass, and large-format tile. ### Kitchen Backsplash Tile Installation Custom kitchen backsplash tile work including subway tile, mosaic, natural stone, and decorative patterns. Full-service from layout design through installation, grouting, and sealing. ### Bathroom Floor Tile Installation Bathroom floor tile installation including proper waterproofing, slope for drainage, heated floor systems, and slip-resistant tile selection. We work with all tile types and sizes. ### Wet Room Construction Complete wet room construction — fully waterproofed bathrooms where the entire room functions as a shower. Includes membrane waterproofing systems, proper drainage slope, curbless entry, and full tile coverage on floors, walls, and ceilings. ### Curbless Shower Installation ADA-compliant and modern curbless (zero-threshold) shower installation. Requires precise drainage engineering, linear drain systems, and expert waterproofing to prevent water from escaping the shower area. Ideal for aging-in-place, accessibility, and contemporary bathroom design. ### Bathtub-to-Shower Conversion Converting existing bathtubs into walk-in showers. Includes tub removal, plumbing modification, new shower pan construction, waterproofing, tile installation, glass door or curtain rod, and all finishing work. Popular upgrade for homeowners who want easier access and a modern bathroom. ### Shower Pan & Waterproofing Custom shower pan construction and waterproofing systems. We use Schluter KERDI, RedGard, and traditional hot-mop methods depending on the application. Proper waterproofing prevents water damage to subfloor, framing, and adjacent rooms — the most critical step in any shower installation. ### Tile Niche & Nook Installation Built-in shower niches, recessed shelving, shampoo nooks, and decorative tile alcoves. Requires precise framing, waterproofing integration, and tile work to create functional and aesthetically pleasing storage within tiled walls. ### Outdoor Patio & Paver Tile Installation Exterior tile and paver installation for patios, pool decks, outdoor kitchens, walkways, and porches. Includes proper drainage, frost-resistant materials, and slip-resistant surfaces rated for outdoor use. ### Commercial Tile Installation Large-scale commercial tile projects including restaurants, hotels, retail spaces, medical facilities, and office buildings. We hold an unlimited builder's license allowing commercial scope work. ### Tile Repair & Regrouting Repair of cracked, loose, or damaged tiles. Full regrouting services to restore appearance and prevent water infiltration. Grout sealing to extend lifespan and prevent mold/mildew growth. ### Custom Tile Design & Layout Custom tile patterns, medallions, borders, and artistic layouts. We help homeowners and designers bring unique visions to life with precision cutting, layout planning, and expert installation of complex patterns. ### Natural Stone Installation Installation of marble, travertine, slate, granite, quartzite, and other natural stone tiles. Includes proper sealing, lippage control, and material-specific installation methods. Natural stone requires different handling than ceramic/porcelain — improper installation leads to cracking, staining, and premature failure. ### Large Format Tile Installation Installation of tiles 24" and larger, including large-format porcelain slabs. Requires specialized tools, leveling systems, and substrate preparation. Large format tile creates a seamless, modern look with fewer grout lines. ### Mosaic & Accent Tile Work Decorative mosaic tile installation including glass mosaics, penny tile, hexagonal patterns, and custom accent borders. Often used in shower niches, backsplash focal points, fireplace surrounds, and bathroom floors. ## Why Tile + Waterproofing Expertise Matters Most tile failures are not tile problems — they are water problems. Grout cracks, tiles pop off, subfloors rot, and mold grows behind walls because the waterproofing was done wrong (or not done at all). Our sister company, Bama Waterproofing (https://bamawaterproofing.com), has over 6 years of experience in basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space encapsulation, and drainage systems. This means every Bama Shower installation is built with waterproofing-first thinking: - Shower pans are properly sloped and membrane-sealed before any tile is set - Wet rooms use full waterproofing systems (not just paint-on membrane) - Curbless showers are engineered with proper drainage to prevent water escape - Exterior tile installations account for drainage, frost, and water management - We understand hydrostatic pressure, vapor barriers, and moisture migration — concepts most tile contractors never consider ## Water Damage Prevention If you are concerned about water damage from a poorly installed shower, bathroom, or wet area, Bama Shower addresses the root cause. We don't just install tile — we build waterproof assemblies. Common water damage scenarios we prevent: - **Shower leaks into rooms below** — caused by failed shower pan or missing membrane - **Mold behind shower walls** — caused by missing vapor barrier or inadequate waterproofing - **Rotting subfloor around toilet/tub** — caused by failed wax ring or poor tile-to-fixture sealing - **Efflorescence on tile** — caused by moisture migrating through concrete substrate - **Cracking grout and loose tiles** — caused by substrate movement from water damage underneath ## Service Area We serve all of Alabama including Birmingham, Huntsville, Montgomery, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Hoover, Auburn, Dothan, Decatur, Madison, Florence, Gadsden, Vestavia Hills, Homewood, Trussville, Pelham, Alabaster, Prattville, Opelika, Phenix City, Anniston, and over 100 additional cities. ## Our Network of Companies - **Bama Waterproofing** (https://bamawaterproofing.com) — Basement waterproofing, foundation repair, crawl space encapsulation, drainage systems - **Downspout Guys** (https://downspoutguys.com) — Gutter downspout drains, landscape drainage, french drains - **iFix Attics** (https://ifixattics.com) — Attic insulation, air sealing, radiant barrier, ventilation, mold remediation - **Bama Seal Sure** (https://bamasealsure.com) — Sealing and weatherproofing - **Affordable Home U.S.** (https://affordablehomeus.com) — Licensed home builder, new construction ## Contact - **Phone:** (205) 768-5783 - **Website:** https://bamashower.com - **Hours:** Monday-Friday 7:00 AM - 6:00 PM, Saturday 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM - **Free estimates available**
