What makes shower remodel different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal showers in Coronado, Imperial Beach, Del Mar, and Solana Beach fight marine layer moisture and salt air that pit cheap fixtures and rust standard steel pans. The crew typically installs a Schluter Kerdi shower pan, a pressure-balancing valve with a stainless or brass body, and a large-format porcelain tile that cuts grout lines. A quality exhaust fan vented to the outside is the single most important upgrade for a coastal shower.
