DIY shower revamp tip:  Even if your house was built only 25 years ago, hardly a blink when you think of all the 18th century houses that still exist around the country and parts of Nebraska, you'll find that in addition to the old standards there are now a surprising number of new building materials- better grades of vinyl flooring, ceramic tile that looks a lot like new stone, and engineered wood that's more stable than solid lumber.


With so many choices, it's easy to find the appropriate material for a particular Omaha bathroom:  highly water-resistant and durable surfaces in a children's bathroom and visually pleasing materials in a master bath or shower, for instance.  A floor of small, hexagonal tiles is durable and attractive, and the small tiles are easy to work into out-of-square corners, typically in older houses.


Shower tile tricks and tips:  Paint is one of the cheapest ways to decorate or quickly update a look. Remember to choose water resistant pains, designed specifically for use in the bathroom. Oil based paints with eggshell or silver finish are best left for woodwork.

Home Improvement and Shower Remodeling Tips - Omaha Nebraska Area


When it comes to bathroom remodeling (and shower renovations) in Omaha, NE - consider pedestal and wall-mounted sinks.  All pedestals, wall-mounted sinks with support legs, and vanities should be removed before tiling the floor or wall.  This is a popular style in many homes in Omaha, Nebraska and many Omaha showers feature an adjoining wall-mounted sink.  Before removing the sink completely, test that finished height of the newly tiled floor.  Put a piece of wood or other material that is as thick as your tile under the pedestal and check that pipe and bracket fittings will align correctly in the shower.  

Most supply pipes have enough give or can be bent enough to accommodate new floor or wall thickness.  However, you may need to purchase pipe extenders.  Some wall brackets are designed to sit on top of the finished tile, especially in older homes and areas of Omaha, Nebraska in need of a good shower remodeling contractor.

You may need to purchase new shower brackets and install them on top of the finished tiles to compensate for the new height.  Before tiling walls, consider that the specific preparation needed for your shower.  On existing shower walls (again, consult with us if you live in an older area of Omaha, Nebraska), remove all fixtures and fill holes as needed.  Use a heavy-duty household cleanser to remove all grease and dirt, which can affect the bonding capability of the adhesive.  

Window and Door Casings - Find Bathroom Windows in Omaha, NE


These can be either retained or removed, depending on your bathroom renovation design.  If retained, set tile to within 1/4th of an inch of casing and fill the joint with grout.  If you prefer to have the casing over the tile to cover cut tile edges, remove casing during the prep stage of the remodel process and clean away any debris and dust from behind it.  When reinstalling, cut a groove in the back of the casing to accomodate the thickness of the tile.  If you are tiling around an existing toilet, install tiles to within 1/8th inch of the fixture and finish your bathroom and shower area with silicone caulk.  

If you are tiling a new bathroom and the toilet has not yet been installed, you may prefer to set tiles before you put in the toilet.  This allows you to hide cut tiles under the fixture and make a neater edge.  As a general rule, installing tile will disrupt your lifestyle, no matter how small the installation.  To minimize the inconvenience, be sure to have all tools and setting materials on hand.  These shower remodeling tools and setting materials are easily found in Omaha, Nebraska at any home renovation store.
