One gentle slope, one sleek drain — step in, not over.
Curbless showers are West Hartford's fastest-growing floor request: no curb to step over, one clean slope to a linear drain, large tile running wall to wall. Done right they're the safest and best-looking shower floor available; done wrong they're a flood into the bathroom. The difference is all in recessing the subfloor (or ramping correctly), waterproofing past the shower line, and nailing the single-plane slope. We build them to spec and flood-test every one.
Elmwood two-families and West End colonials alike: original tub walls with character worth saving, but grout and caulk past rescue. Regrout-plus-seal is the preservation move; full surround re-tile is the reset button. Candidacy check is free in West Hartford: West Hartford's vintage baths reward restraint: a pro regrout and color-seal can make 1940s tile look intentional again instead of tired. If your subfloor can't recess, we'll say so and price the low-curb alternative instead of faking it.
