Why is shower remodel different in Backcountry San Diego?
Julian, Pine Valley, and Descanso homes often have older tile showers with failing grout and a PVC liner that has been patched more than once. A shower remodel here is usually a full tear-out down to the studs, new blocking for grab bars, a Schluter Kerdi or hot-mop pan, and tile chosen to handle the wider temperature swings of a mountain bath. Drive time is a planning factor for inspections.
