In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Boulder Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most important parts of any bathroom remodeling project: waterproofing your shower the right way. Beautiful tile and fixtures don’t matter if water is slowly sneaking into your walls or floor. We’ll explain, in simple terms, how professional waterproofing systems work and why they’re essential for a long-lasting, low-stress bathroom.

​

We start by explaining where showers typically fail when they’re not properly waterproofed: corners, niches, benches, seams, and around the drain. You’ll learn the difference between water-resistant surfaces and true, continuous waterproofing behind the tile. We’ll discuss common methods used by pros today, including waterproof backer boards, sheet membranes, and liquid-applied systems, and how they’re installed to create a sealed shell before tile goes up.

​

Next, we talk about shower pans and slopes. A correctly built shower base should have a consistent slope toward the drain so that water doesn’t pool or sit in low spots. We’ll walk through how we form or install a pan, how drain assemblies tie into the waterproofing system, and why details like curb height and corners matter so much.

​

We’ll also touch on niches and benches, which are great for comfort and storage but are common leak points when not built correctly. You’ll hear how we waterproof these features so water runs off and away instead of collecting and seeping into the structure. Finally, we’ll talk about why hiring a bathroom remodeling company that treats waterproofing as a non-negotiable is one of the smartest decisions you can make.

In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Boulder Podcast, we walk step-by-step through a tub-to-shower conversion so you know exactly what happens from the first day of demo to the final clean. If you’re tired of climbing over a tall tub wall or dealing with an outdated surround, this episode will give you a clear picture of the process, the mess, the timeline, and the finished result. Our goal is to help you feel prepared and confident before your project begins.

​

We start with planning: measuring your existing tub space, checking plumbing locations, and reviewing the condition of your walls and floor. Then we discuss design decisions like shower size, layout, tile installation, glass style, and storage niches. You’ll hear how we think through things like shower head height, valve placement, and entry location so the new walk-in shower feels natural to use.

​

Next, we walk through demo day. We explain what it looks like when the old tub, surround, and drywall or backer are removed, how we protect surrounding areas, and what we’re looking for once everything is opened up. From checking studs and subfloor condition to making any needed plumbing adjustments, you’ll understand what’s going on behind the scenes before new materials go in.

​

Then we cover building the new shower: installing a proper waterproof shower base or pan, adding the right wall backer, using high-quality waterproofing systems, then setting tile with careful slopes and layout. We’ll talk about installing niches, benches, and grab bars, plus how glass is measured and installed at the end.

​

In this episode of the Bathroom Remodeling Boulder Podcast, we’re talking all about vanities and why upgrading from a basic builder-grade cabinet to a custom setup can completely change how your bathroom feels and functions every single day. If you’re tired of cramped drawers, shallow sinks, or a vanity that always looks cluttered, this episode will walk you through what to look for in a smarter, more comfortable design. We focus on real-life use, not just pretty photos.

​

We start by breaking down the weak points of typical builder-grade vanities: low storage capacity, poor drawer layout, cheap hardware, and tops that stain or chip easily. Then we walk through how a custom or semi-custom vanity can solve those daily frustrations. That includes choosing the right vanity width and height, deciding between drawers and doors, adding organizers for hair tools and everyday essentials, and planning enough countertop space so you’re not fighting for room every morning.

​

You’ll learn about different countertop materials commonly used in bathroom remodeling, including quartz, solid surface, and other durable tops that stand up better to water, heat, and cosmetics. We’ll also talk about sink choices, from single bowls with extra counter space to double sinks for busy couples, and when each option actually makes sense. Simple upgrades in faucets, hardware, and under-sink plumbing can improve both the the look and long-term reliability of your vanity.

​

Lighting and mirrors are part of the vanity story too. We’ll explain why the combination of a well-sized mirror, proper vanity lights, and the right color temperature makes such a difference when you’re getting ready. Built-in medicine cabinets, framed mirrors, or backlit mirrors can add both storage and style to a modern bathroom design.
