As a tile setter. I recommend priming the walls of your shower first. Stops the drywall from wicking the moisture out of your thinset, when installing membranes. This is the reason cement board is used, not as a safeguard against membrane failure

I'm in the Toronto area and I'm in awe of your workmanship and attention to detail. Would love for you to redo our bathrooms someday. Looking forward to more of your videos and to see you branch out to other builds (kitchens, living rooms)

Wow, only $17k? That looks phenomenal and seems like a really good price for all that work! Makes me want to rethink totally gutting my bathrooms sooner than later lol! (Just finished mini remodel until we're ready to renovate).

[templecreek]

Awesome. My envy of your skill and attention to detail is very high and growing! Good for you, Liam! Wish I could work for you!

[Alani]

One of the best shower renovation I've ever seen! Thanks for the video!

[Rondman]

Man Im from Houston and you are a life saver and me and wifey loves your work thanks

[duytruongpdx]

Your work is art, quality and attention to detail is superb. Very inspiring and I love watching your videos and seeing how to do things. I really like your technique of cutting the niche out after the first row is set to get the perfect grout lines. I just had my master bathroom updated and wish I could have hired you. Look forward to seeing your next projects!

Really cool to see you and your business progressing so fast
Looking forward to the next project

Such a neat job, well done - hope the home owners are super- happy. Not sure about gluing the architrave & trim around the doors as they do breathe & there's quite a lot of movement with the seasons - wonder what others think. I do love the Carrara, when I wanted that look in my kitchen remodel tile shops down here barely knew what I was talking about! Hopefully 6-yrs later time to do the bath, I'll have plenty of choice!! (Ever the optimist - tough when you live on an island!)

[amalarafat]

He is very punctual very honest I had my bathroom done can never be any more satisfied 🎉

[shapourshamss]

Do you know someone working like you in Long Island NY to recommend ? I need walking shower and I see you are the best for this job.

[juzoli]

You should cut in the niche sooner, and cover the seams with the membrane, so you don’t need an additional layer of kerdi band.

[CarlosV]

That turned out real nice 👍 I'd like to one day try to remodel a bathroom myself but I lack the confidence I feel like I'm gonna screw up somewhere

[roja]

Amazing transformation explanation spot on. All the best for your all future projects 👍🏼

[tatiananugent]

Amazing work… I’ve been watching you for awhile and I finally decided to comment. I truly wish you were in the US.

[TheMixingBowlHomestead]

This is absolutely beautiful. I need to add a master bathroom and walk in closet so this gives me a great design idea. Thank you so much for sharing.

[miket.]

Wow thanks for the video. It is very interesting to see all of the steps. But it is funny. I did not expect the US or Canada to use waterproofing from Germany. I always thought you do it very differently over there.

[linnsoltwedel]

I can't belive heated bathroom floor is luxury. It's done in Norway for at least the last 20 years even in the cheapest apartments. I will never have a bathroom without it, then again, I almost Iive in the North Pole :P

[patb]

Great work! With regards to the niche, why not make a custom one? Take 2 of those units, cut and join them. Use fibre glass tape and epoxy to join them and since it's all covered with tile and Schlueter it's plenty strong and waterproof.

[mugurelconstantin]

You are so skillful.
Simply amaizing!🎉
