★ Why Homeowners Trust Us

Quality Work. Honest Service. Lasting Value.

A walk-in shower opens up a bathroom, and a curbless one removes the step entirely for a sleek, modern, accessible space you walk straight into. Palacios Construction Group designs and builds walk-in and curbless showers for homeowners across Conroe, Willis, the Lake Conroe area, and greater Houston. From an open custom-tile walk-in to a fully curbless, zero-threshold conversion, this is some of the most precise and rewarding work we do. It is the look most homeowners now picture when they imagine a modern bathroom, and the entry most people prefer once they no longer have to step over a wall to get in.

A curbless shower is not just leaving off the curb. It requires re-sloping the subfloor so the entire shower floor drains correctly without a lip to step over, and waterproofing the whole assembly so it stays sealed for decades. We re-slope, waterproof, and tile these showers so they drain flawlessly and never leak, which is exactly the technical skill that separates a true curbless shower from one that puddles and fails.

◆ What Makes a
Curbless Shower Work

Three Things That Decide Whether a Walk-In Shower Succeeds

A walk-in or curbless shower looks simple, and that simplicity is exactly why it is so unforgiving to build. Three things separate one that drains flawlessly from one that puddles, leaks, or fails.

01

The slope and drainage

With no curb to hold water in, the floor itself does all the work. We re-slope the subfloor so the whole shower floor pitches to the drain, often a linear or trench drain, so water always finds its way out.

→
02

The waterproofing behind it

A shower with no curb places even greater demand on the waterproofing. We build every shower with HardieBacker, a sloped mud bed, and multiple coats of RedGard, a heavy-duty envelope that keeps water out of the framing and subfloor.

→
03

Design & accessibility intent

A walk-in shower can be a sleek modern centerpiece, a barrier-free accessible space, or both. The bench placement, grab-bar backing, glass layout, and entry width all depend on what you want the shower to do.

◆ Our Process, Start to Finish

How We Build a Walk-In or Curbless Shower

Our process gets the structure, slope, and waterproofing right before any tile goes up, because that hidden work is what makes a walk-in shower last.

01

1. Your call reaches a real person

You reach Joel or his wife directly. We learn what you want: an open modern walk-in, a barrier-free curbless shower, or a tub-to-shower conversion, and a working budget, then schedule a time to see the bathroom.

02

2. Design and accessibility planning

Joel walks the space with you, talks through the look and any accessibility needs, and we plan the entry, drain type, bench, niches, and glass. On a larger project we can design it in 3D.

03

3. A clear written estimate

You receive a written estimate with no hidden fees, honored for up to 3 months, with the scope of work, waterproofing, tile, glass, and fixtures laid out clearly.

04

4. Demolition and re-sloping

We demo the old shower or tub and, for a curbless shower, re-slope the subfloor so the floor drains correctly without a curb. This structural step is the heart of a curbless build, and the one cheap installers skip.

05

5. Waterproofing

We install HardieBacker, build the sloped mud bed, and apply multiple coats of RedGard so the entire shower envelope is sealed before any tile goes on. This is the step that determines whether the shower ever leaks.

06

6. Tile, glass, and fixtures

We set the continuous tile, install the bench, niches, grab-bar backing, and fixtures, and hang the frameless glass, finishing the shower to a precise, furniture-grade standard.

07

7. Final walkthrough and warranty

We test the drainage, walk the finished shower with you, and make sure every detail is right. Our workmanship is backed by a one-year warranty.

◆ Local Conditions in Montgomery County

Walk-In Showers in the Lake Conroe Area

Our retiree market, climate, and homes all shape how walk-in and curbless showers should be built here. These are the realities we design around.

A strong aging-in-place market

The Lake Conroe, Walden, and Bentwater areas have a large base of retirees who want to stay in their homes, and a curbless, barrier-free shower is one of the most valuable upgrades for that. We build no-step entries, grab-bar backing, and benches so a master bath is beautiful now and safe for decades, which is exactly what this market asks for. A barrier-free shower also protects the home's value and appeal for the next owner, since accessible features increasingly matter to buyers.

Humidity and waterproofing

Our Gulf Coast humidity is hard on a shower that is not waterproofed correctly, and a curbless design puts even more water on the floor and transitions. Our multi-layer HardieBacker, mud bed, and RedGard system keeps moisture out of the wall and subfloor, which matters even more in our humid climate. In our climate, the waterproofing is not the place to save money; it is the entire reason a shower survives a decade of daily use.

Hard water on glass and tile

Many homes here, especially on wells and around the lake, have hard water that spots frameless glass and dulls finishes. We help you choose glass coatings and finishes that resist it and are easier to keep clean, so an open walk-in shower stays clear and bright.

Slab movement and tile

Our expansive clay moves with the seasons, and that movement cracks tile and grout in lesser showers. A properly built mud bed and substrate let a walk-in shower's tile handle minor movement without cracking, which is why we never shortcut the floor. A hairline crack is more than cosmetic in a shower, since it is a path for water to reach the structure, so preventing it protects the whole assembly.

Waterfront and luxury master baths

Lake Conroe waterfront homes often call for large, open, frameless-glass walk-in showers with premium tile and multi-head fixtures. These showers reward precise drainage and waterproofing, and they are exactly the kind of high-end build we specialize in.

Older homes and structural changes

Converting a tub or stepped shower to a curbless shower in an older home in Conroe, Montgomery, or Huntsville often requires working with the existing floor structure to achieve the required slope. We handle that structural work as part of the build, so the curbless shower drains correctly even in a home that was never designed for one.

◆ Pricing

How Walk-In and Curbless Showers Are Priced

Walk-in showers are priced by size, tile, glass, fixtures, and structural work, and a curbless shower entails the extra labor of re-sloping the subfloor. We give you an accurate written estimate after seeing the bathroom.

Free on-site estimate

We do not charge for estimates. Joel looks at the bathroom, talks through the design and any accessibility needs, and provides a written quote at no cost and with no obligation.

Curbless is more involved than curbed

A curbless, zero-threshold shower requires re-sloping the subfloor and careful drainage and waterproofing, which is more work than a standard curbed shower. The result, a seamless, barrier-free shower, is worth it for the look and the accessibility, and we are upfront about what the added work involves. We explain that difference honestly up front, so the value of the seamless, barrier-free result is clear rather than a surprise on the invoice.

What moves the price

The biggest drivers are the size of the shower, the tile you choose, the glass, the fixtures, whether it is curbless, and any accessibility features. A multi-fixture spa shower, large-format designer tile, frameless glass, and a curbless conversion all add to the investment, and we lay each one out clearly.

◆ In Practice

The Walk-In Showers We're Proud Of

Here is how our walk-in and curbless shower work shows up in real projects.

A seamless curbless conversion we're proud of

One project we are especially proud of is a seamless curbless walk-in shower conversion. It let us show our technical skill, re-sloping the subfloor so the shower drains perfectly without a curb step, then running continuous custom tile to create a sleek, open, modern space. Combining that precise drainage work with beautiful tile completely transformed the bathroom, and it is exactly the kind of curbless build we specialize in. It is the kind of transformation that makes a dated, cramped bathroom feel twice as large and genuinely high-end.

A barrier-free shower for aging in place

A common project around the lake is converting a tub or stepped shower into a barrier-free, zero-threshold shower for a homeowner who wants to stay in their home. We built a no-step entry, installed grab bars in reinforced walls, added a built-in bench, and used slip-resistant tile, so the shower is beautiful now and safe for the long run. For many homeowners, it is the single change that lets them comfortably stay in a home they love rather than move, which makes it deeply worth doing right.

An open spa walk-in

For homeowners who want a high-end look, we build open, frameless-glass walk-in showers with multi-head fixtures and large-format tile. The shower becomes the centerpiece of the bathroom, with the plumbing sized for real water flow and the waterproofing built to handle heavy use.

◆ The Expertise Behind the Work

What Goes Into a Walk-In Shower Done Right

A curbless shower is one of the most demanding things we build in a bathroom. Here is the expertise behind ours.

Re-sloping the subfloor

The defining skill of a curbless shower is re-sloping the subfloor so the entire floor drains to the drain without a curb. This is real structural work, recessing and pitching the floor, often around existing framing, so the water always runs the right way. It is precise, and it is exactly where the difference between a true curbless shower and a puddling failure is decided. It is the part of the job a homeowner never sees and never thinks about again once it is right, which is exactly how you know it was done well.

Linear and trench drains

Curbless showers often use a linear or trench drain along one edge instead of a center drain, which allows a single-direction slope and a cleaner tile layout with large-format tile. We set the drain and the slope, so the whole floor sheds to it, giving the seamless look that a curbless shower is known for. It also lets the entire floor pitch in a single clean plane, which is part of why curbless showers look so seamless and uninterrupted.

Multi-layer waterproofing

We do not rely on a single membrane. Our showers are built with HardieBacker sub-layers, a sloped mud bed, and multiple coats of RedGard, each layer backing up the others. In a curbless shower, where water reaches more of the floor and the transition out of the shower, that redundancy is what keeps the bathroom dry. Layering the waterproofing means a flaw in any one layer is caught by the next, instead of becoming the pinhole that floods a wall cavity.

Designing for accessibility

A barrier-free shower has to be safe as well as beautiful. We build no-step entries wide enough for a wheelchair or walker, set solid backing in the walls for grab bars, add benches at the right height, and use slip-resistant tile, so the shower works for real accessibility, not just the look of it. We design these with the next 20 years in mind, not just today, so the shower continues to serve the homeowner as their needs change.

Frameless glass and open layouts

Walk-in and curbless showers shine with frameless glass or an open, doorless layout. We plan the glass and the layout so the shower contains the water it needs to while staying open and easy to clean, which takes careful attention to the slope, the splash zones, and the glass placement.

Tile and substrate that lasts

Continuous tile is what gives a walk-in shower its seamless look, and it demands a flat, properly prepared, well-waterproofed substrate, especially with large-format tile. We prepare the substrate and set the tile so it stays flat and crack-free over a sealed envelope, even as our clay soils move. Skimp on that prep and the tile telegraphs every flaw beneath it; do it right and the finished shower looks poured of a single piece.

Multi-fixture plumbing

If you want rain heads, wall jets, and a handheld shower, the plumbing has to deliver water to all of them at once. We size the supply lines, install high-capacity pressure-balancing valves, and use proven commercial-grade fixtures so every head in your walk-in shower runs at full flow.
