Here's the day-by-day: day one is removal, substrate and waterproofing with flood test; day two is tile, grout and detail with flow test. Simple re-tiles on sound pans compress to a long single day. Glass stays up or comes down carefully depending on your enclosure — either way it's our responsibility, in writing.

Southington notes
In Southington most floors run a day and a half door-to-door: Southington's 90s primary showers are failing in waves — loose floor tile and musty grout that no cleaner fixes. Re-tile the floor, save the walls. Shower again 24 hours after grout — we'll time it to the hour, not the day.

Common questions
Protected in place or removed to padded storage and reinstalled — our responsibility either way, stated in the quote.
Day one: remove, rebuild base, waterproof, flood test. Day two: tile, grout, detail, flow test, walkthrough. Single-day compressions for simple re-tiles.
Removal morning is the loud half-day; the rest is quiet hand work with barriers and daily cleanup. Condos and occupied homes are routine for us.
