Walk-In Shower Installation in Girard, OH
Step In. Stand Out.
Create a spacious, luxurious shower experience with custom walk-in designs built for comfort, accessibility, and style.
Girard sits directly adjacent to Youngstown and shares much of its housing character: tight lots, two-story working-class homes, and bathrooms that were built for function rather than comfort. Most of the homes we work in here were constructed during the mill industry's peak, with floor plans that prioritized bedrooms over bathroom square footage. Converting a tub-only bathroom into a walk-in shower setup takes precise planning in these spaces.
D&B Construction has developed a repeatable process for Girard's common bathroom configurations. We start by assessing the drain location, joist direction, and wall framing before recommending a layout. In many cases, a tub removal and barrier-free shower installation can be done without moving the drain, keeping the project cost-effective and the timeline tight.
We use cement board and membrane waterproofing systems that hold up in Girard's older homes, which can have humidity issues from original ventilation setups. The result is a shower built to last without ongoing maintenance concerns.

What We Provide
Common Questions About Walk-In Showers
A curbless shower has no raised threshold or lip at the entry. The floor transitions seamlessly from the bathroom into the shower area. This design looks modern and sleek, and it makes the shower accessible for people with mobility limitations.
Walk-in showers can be built in spaces as small as 32 by 32 inches, though 36 by 48 inches or larger is more comfortable. We can design a walk-in shower to fit your existing bathroom layout.
We use tempered safety glass for all shower enclosures. Options include clear, ultra-clear (low iron), frosted, and rain glass in both frameless and semi-frameless configurations.
Proper waterproofing is critical. We use proven membrane systems from Schluter or Laticrete behind all tile surfaces, ensure correct floor slope toward the drain, and use quality sealants at all joints and penetrations.
