Initial Consultation
The journey begins with an initial consultation where we discuss your ideas, preferences, and budget for your custom shower design. This step is crucial for understanding your vision and any specific requirements you might have, such as accessibility features or specific materials. It sets the foundation for the entire project and ensures that we are aligned with your expectations.
Design Planning
Following the consultation, our design team will create a detailed plan that includes layout options, material selections, and fixture recommendations. You will receive 3D renderings to visualize your new shower. This collaborative phase allows for adjustments and fine-tuning, ensuring that every detail meets your approval before moving forward.
Site Preparation
Once the design is finalized, we will prepare your bathroom for installation. This involves removing existing fixtures and ensuring the work area is clean and safe. We take care to protect your home from potential damage, covering floors and adjacent areas to keep dust and debris contained during the remodel.
Plumbing Adjustments
Our licensed plumbers will make any necessary adjustments to your plumbing system to accommodate your new shower layout. This step is critical for ensuring optimal water flow and drainage. We adhere to all local codes and regulations in Manhattan to guarantee safety and compliance.
Waterproofing Application
To prevent water damage and mold growth, we apply a waterproofing membrane to the shower area. This step is essential for long-lasting durability and functionality of your custom shower. Our team ensures that every seam is properly sealed and that the area is fully prepared for the next stages of installation.
Tile Installation
With the waterproofing in place, we move on to installing your chosen tiles. Our skilled artisans take great care in laying tiles to ensure a flawless finish. Whether you choose ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, we will make sure that the installation is both beautiful and functional, adhering to your design vision.
Fixture Installation
After the tiles are set, we will install the shower fixtures, including the showerhead, controls, and any additional accessories like grab bars or shelving. This step finalizes the functionality of your custom shower and ensures everything operates as intended. We ensure that all fixtures are properly secured and aesthetically pleasing.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
Once the installation is complete, we conduct a thorough inspection of the shower to ensure everything meets our high standards. We will walk you through the finished project, addressing any questions you may have. Finally, we will clean up the work area, leaving your bathroom ready for use.

Choosing the Right Design for Your Shower
When it comes to selecting the right design for your custom shower, consider both aesthetics and functionality. Popular design trends include frameless glass enclosures, which create a spacious feel while allowing for beautiful tile work to shine. Additionally, incorporating natural light through windows or skylights can enhance the ambiance of your shower space. It's essential to think about the layout as well; for instance, a corner shower can save space in smaller bathrooms, while larger areas allow for luxurious double showerheads or expansive bench seating. At Maison Prestige NYC, our experts will guide you through the myriad of design options while ensuring that your choices align with your budget and preferences. We encourage our customers in Manhattan to think about their daily routines and how their shower space can best accommodate them, leading to a truly functional and personalized design.
