On July 1 I had a water line under my sink let go flooding my kitchen and basement, even though they couldn't make it that night they helped me walk through making sure my house was safe to have power running. In the AM July 2 Tyler came by to take a look and routed the problem, I went out and picked up a new tap and he came back later afternoon and fixed everything up.
Tyler and his crew are great! They are very friendly and professional. They redid my septic discharge line and I am so very happy with the results! They were able to adapt and work through some challenging ground water issues. I plan on using them for all of my plumbing needs going forward!
Tyler was engaged to clean AC coils in my furnace. He answered all my questions with patience. I added some work while here which meant a return to base to pick up items and return to install them. Job well done. The finished job is clean looks good and professional. Thank you.
Tyler was very knowledgeable when it came to our older boiler. We were lucky to call him after 3 other companies came through and told us we needed to replace our unit.

Shower Installation FAQs In Grande Prairie
It's always best to get a quote for accurate pricing details . We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs including demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, materials, labor, and finishing work so you understand exactly what you're paying for.
Most shower installations take 3-7 days from start to finish. Simple shower replacements can be completed in 2-3 days, while custom tile showers typically require 5-7 days to allow proper curing time for mortar, waterproofing membranes, and grout. Tub-to-shower conversions usually take 4-5 days depending on any structural modifications needed. We provide a detailed timeline during your consultation and keep you informed throughout the project. Weather and material delivery can occasionally impact schedules, but we communicate proactively to minimize any delays.
We handle the complete shower installation from start to finish. Our team manages demolition, plumbing rough-in and finishing, drain installation, waterproofing, tile or wall panel installation, fixture mounting, glass enclosure installation, and final cleanup. You work with one experienced team throughout the entire project rather than coordinating multiple contractors. This comprehensive approach ensures better quality control, faster completion, and eliminates the finger-pointing that happens when problems arise on projects with multiple contractors.
The best shower for your Grande Prairie home depends on your specific needs, but we typically recommend designs that account for our climate challenges. Custom tile showers with quality waterproofing membranes perform exceptionally well in our temperature extremes. For fixtures, we recommend finishes that resist mineral buildup from our hard water such as brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze rather than polished chrome. Walk-in showers with proper floor heating prevent cold tile shock during our winters. We also recommend adequate ventilation and, when possible, windows or exhaust fans to manage moisture in our tightly-sealed, energy-efficient homes.
Yes, we regularly install showers in Grande Prairie basement bathrooms. Basement shower installations require special expertise because the drain must connect to your home's sewer line, which often sits below basement floor level. We use approved methods including installing the shower on a raised platform, using a sewage ejector pump system, or in some cases, breaking through the concrete floor to access drain lines. We assess your specific basement layout and recommend the most cost-effective solution that meets Alberta plumbing codes.
Tub-to-shower conversions involve several key steps. We start by removing your existing bathtub and surround, then assess the subfloor and wall framing for any water damage that needs repair. Next, we modify plumbing as needed, reposition or upgrade the drain, and install a new shower pan or build a custom tile base. We then install cement board, apply waterproof membranes, and complete tile work or install shower wall panels. Finally, we mount fixtures, install the glass enclosure or shower curtain rod, caulk all seams, and thoroughly test for leaks. The result is a spacious, modern shower in the same footprint where your tub once sat.
