Custom Tile Shower in Taylors, SC
Tile work that lasts decades, not seasons. Local crew based in Pendleton, real photos and references from your neighborhood, and a firm written price before we start.
A custom tile shower is the difference between a bathroom you tolerate and a bathroom you actually enjoy. Done right, it lasts twenty-plus years with no leaks, no failing grout, and no replacement. Done wrong, you are calling a contractor inside of five. Every custom tile shower we build in Taylors, SC sits on top of a full Schluter-KERDI or Wedi waterproofing system, is set with epoxy grout on the wet walls, and is laid out so the grout lines actually line up where they should — bench-to-niche, niche-to-wall, wall-to-floor.
We serve every neighborhood in Taylors, including North Pleasantburg, Berea, Swamp Rabbit Trail area, Lee Road, Edwards Road.

What's different about custom tile shower projects in Taylors
The local housing stock
Taylors splits between three building eras. The original Taylors Mill village and older Lee Road and Edwards Road neighborhoods have 1920s–1960s mill cottages and small brick ranches where bathrooms are tight (often 5×7), joists are narrow, and original cast-iron plumbing is still in service — these projects start with subfloor inspection and frequently include a partial replumb before any tile work. The Paris Mountain and Sevier Street corridor has 1960s–1980s mid-century homes with split-level layouts and small bathrooms tucked under stairs or against load-bearing walls, where smart layout work matters more than square footage. The northern Taylors / Berea area and newer Mountain Creek subdivisions are 1990s–2010s suburban construction where the master baths are larger but builder-finished — homeowners typically swap garden tubs for walk-in showers and upgrade to quartz double vanities. The Swamp Rabbit Trail corridor has seen a wave of 2018+ infill construction with already-modern bathrooms that owners want to push to fully custom tile.
Permits, HOAs, and scheduling
Taylors falls under Greenville County permitting (Taylors is unincorporated), with bathroom plumbing-and-electrical permits typically clearing in 1–2 weeks. Mountain Creek and a handful of Berea-area subdivisions have HOA contractor-insurance and architectural-review requirements we handle during the estimate. For Taylors Mill village and Lee Road cottages built before 1960, we always inspect subfloor condition and exhaust venting during demo because heart-pine subfloors over narrow joists in this housing stock are the leading cause of mid-project surprise change orders elsewhere — we flag those issues at the in-home estimate, not after demo.
Why it matters
Most shower failures we are called to look at are not tile failures — they are waterproofing failures hidden behind tile that looks fine for the first two or three years. Building it right the first time is dramatically cheaper than tearing out and rebuilding inside of five.
