Why is shower remodel different in North County Inland San Diego?
Escondido, San Marcos, Vista, and Poway showers tend to be in 1990s tract homes with a builder-grade fiberglass surround and a single-handle valve. A shower remodel here is a real upgrade: new valve, new pan, tile walls, and frameless glass. Quartz or solid-surface thresholds are a popular upgrade over the builder curb, and a linear drain is the right call for a curbless entry.
