Walk-In Shower Installation in Kent, OH
Step In. Stand Out.
Create a spacious, luxurious shower experience with custom walk-in designs built for comfort, accessibility, and style.
Kent is a college town anchored by Kent State University, and its housing market reflects that dual nature: owner-occupied homes where families are putting down roots alongside student rentals where landlords need bathrooms that can take heavy daily use. Both types of clients come to D&B Construction for the same reason: a tiled walk-in shower outperforms a fiberglass insert on every measure over time.
For landlords with rental properties in Kent, we focus on durable, low-maintenance configurations: large-format porcelain tile, linear drains that are easy to clean, and curbless entries that eliminate the step-over lip that cracks and collects grime on older units. These showers require minimal upkeep and hold up through tenant turnover.
For owner-occupied Kent homes (particularly the mid-century ranches and bungalows east of campus), we offer more custom design work including bench seating, recessed niches, and frameless glass options. Every project is permitted through Portage County regardless of property type.

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.
