Why Homeowners Choose Walk-in Showers

Three reasons dominate every conversation we have with Aberdeen homeowners.

Custom walk-in shower with marble tile, built-in bench, and brushed nickel fixtures by NM Bath Upgrades

Safety, style, and simplicity — all at once:

  • Accessibility — Zero-threshold entry eliminates the step-over hazard that sends thousands of Americans to the ER each year. A walk-in shower is the safest bathing option for any household member, any age.
  • Modern look — Open glass, clean tile lines, and modern fixtures update the entire feel of a bathroom. Homebuyers consistently rank a tiled walk-in shower as a top selling point.
  • Easy maintenance — No bathtub surround seams to re-caulk, no track to scrub. A quality walk-in shower with the right materials wipes down in minutes and holds up for decades.
  • Long-term comfort — As households age, a walk-in shower is the one bathroom feature that works well for everyone — from young kids to grandparents using a walker or wheelchair.

Material Options

We work with three proven systems — each with different performance, maintenance, and budget profiles.

Premium

Onyx Collection Surrounds

The Onyx Collection is a solid surface shower panel manufactured in the USA from a cast polymer blend. It installs as a seamless unit — no grout lines, no joints where water can penetrate. Onyx is warm to the touch, resists staining, and carries a lifetime warranty. It's the lowest-maintenance option we offer and the one we personally recommend for longevity.

Schluter KERDI Waterproofing + Tile

The Schluter KERDI system is a bonded waterproofing membrane that covers the entire shower assembly before tile is applied — walls, floor, corners, and all penetrations. Nothing gets past it. Combined with your choice of ceramic, porcelain, or stone tile, KERDI gives you a custom, fully waterproofed shower that holds up for decades. This is the system we use when clients want a specific tile look without compromising on water protection.

Custom

Custom Tile & Stone

For clients who want complete design control — large-format porcelain, encaustic tile, natural stone, mosaic floors — we build fully custom showers from scratch. We handle the waterproofing substrate, layout, setting, grouting, and sealing. If you have a specific tile in mind or want design consultation, this is your option. Timeline varies by complexity, typically 3–4 days for custom builds.

Typical Process & Timeline

From first call to first shower — most walk-in shower installs are complete in 2–4 days.

What's Included in Every Install

No line-item surprises. This is what every NM Construction walk-in shower includes.

Full Waterproofing System

Commercial waterproofing membrane on all walls, floor, and penetrations. Not a pan liner from the home center — a bonded system that won't fail after two winters of thermal cycling.

Surround or Tile Installation

Onyx panels, KERDI-board + tile, or custom stone — your choice, fully installed. Material sourcing and design consultation included at no extra charge.

Glass Door or Enclosure

Framed, semi-frameless, or fully frameless glass door installed and adjusted. Hinges, seals, and sweeps included. We test for smooth operation before we leave.

Fixtures & Hardware

Showerhead (standard, rainfall, or handheld), valve trim, and all finish hardware installed and leak-tested. Fixture selection handled during the estimate visit.

NM Construction's Approach

Licensed, insured, and backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.

Walk-in shower installations fail when contractors cut corners on waterproofing. We've seen it — showers that look fine on day one, then leak behind the wall for a year before anyone notices the mold. That's why we don't use shortcut materials or rush the waterproofing step for any project, regardless of budget or timeline pressure.

Every crew member is employed by NM Construction — not subcontracted day labor. The same people who do your demo are the ones who set your tile and install your fixtures. One crew, one standard, one warranty. We're local to Aberdeen, so when you call on a warranty issue, we show up — not someone from three states away who barely remembers your job.
