So so so happy with this install and the work of Vasile and Adam! They did an incredible job turning my kitchen backsplash into a work of art. My whole home feels warmer now. They communicated the whole process with me clearly and I trusted them through the whole install. I can’t recommend them enough! As soon as we are ready to redo our bathroom tiles, we will reaching back out to them. Thanks Vasile and Adam!

We used SAVU a few months ago and the experience was wonderful. I provided dimensions of the work and a description of the tile, and they gave me a cost for the job. Unlike many contractors, SAVU provides the labor while the customer gets the tile and supplies. This means that the contractor does not spend billable hours running to the store. At first, I thought this was strange in that I did not know what supplies to get. But they provided details including product pictures and where to buy. Easy.They arrived on the scheduled day at the scheduled time. They planned their work and started. Each one of the two men took a section to do the work. We were using small off-white hex tiles with red tiles being put in at random locations. We let them decide on the locations. The result was perfect because they were perfectionists. For them, everything had to be just so and was. We could not have asked for a better job.I highly recommend SAVU and will use them again if the need arises.

Savu, LLC is one of a kind. Our master bathroom was completely gutted and Vasile and Adam installed a new Schluter shower system, and masterfully tiled the walls and floor with incredible craftsmanship and care. From the very visit they were the utmost professionals, collaborating with us every step of the way until the project was completed. We can’t say enough positive things about this team - highly recommend this company for your next project!

Vasile and his assistant/partner are artisans! In additional to doing perfectionistic work, they were communicative, punctual, and very pleasant to work with. While coming in with the lowest estimate, they also had the best plan to accomplish a complex job utilizing handmade art tiles. Genius! I recommend them to anyone. I'll submit photos later because the rest of the project is in process.

Savu did a beautiful job with our new kitchen backsplash! Vasile and Adam were punctual, very tidy, and even finished early. We were so happy with their work that we asked for their input on another project and plan to hire them again. Their quotation process is also easy, straightforward, accurate and thorough.

How long does shower tile installation take?
- Standard shower: 3-5 days
- Full custom shower: 5-7 days
- Complex patterns: 7-10 days
- Large format tile: 5-7 days
Do I need to purchase tile materials separately?
Yes — we provide expert labor only for optimal flexibility.
- You purchase: Tile, grout, thinset, waterproofing membrane
- We provide: Tools, expert installation
- Benefits: Design freedom, budget control
- Support: Material calculations provided
What shower tile materials do you work with?
- Materials: Ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, marble, slate, glass, mosaic
- Artisan tiles: Handmade zellige, colorful glazed ceramics, textured surfaces
- Patterns: Herringbone, subway, chevron, custom layouts
- Features: Niches, benches, curbless entries
What shower tile trends are popular in 2026?
- Colorful handmade tiles: Unique variations, rich glazes
- Zellige tile: Authentic Moroccan charm, subtle imperfections
- Bold patterns: Geometric, scalloped, and mixed layouts
- Move away from large‑format slabs toward artisan character
Why avoid large‑format or slab tiles in showers?
- Difficult to achieve proper slope to drain
- Heavy – requires structural reinforcement
- High risk of lippage (uneven edges)
- Costly waste from cuts; complex waterproofing around niches/drains
- Limited design flexibility for curves, benches, or small spaces
Why is custom tile superior to prefab shower units?
- Prefab units: Limited sizes, cheap acrylic/fiberglass, visible seams, no customization, lower resale, need replacement in 10-15 years value
- Custom tile: Fully customizable dimensions, durable materials, seamless waterproofing, timeless beauty, significantly higher home value, last for decades
Why Schluter‑Kerdi beats cement board waterproofing
- Cement board: Not waterproof – wicks moisture, breeds mold and mildew over time
- Schluter‑Kerdi: Bonded waterproof membrane creates a continuous, vapor‑tight seal
- Eliminates moisture migration behind walls
- Faster installation, thinner build, compatible with all tile types
Types of shower base & the best one to install
- Acrylic – best overall: durable, warm feel, easy cleaning, affordable
- Fiberglass – budget option: lightweight but less durable
- Cast iron – lifetime durability, very heavy
- Tile – fully custom, but requires perfect slope and maintenance
Our recommendation: Acrylic = best balance of cost, comfort & longevity. Cast iron = lifetime investment.
