The shower is the one fixture in your house that puts water against a wall every single day, which is why a shower that was built wrong shows up as a framing bill. Serden Group rebuilds them from the studs out: sloped bed, bonded waterproofing membrane, flood test, then tile. Tub-to-shower conversions, curbless walk-ins and full custom tile showers across Clark County and the Portland metro.
Almost every failed shower we tear out failed in the same three places: an unsealed corner, a drain flange that was never bonded to the pan, and a curb that was tiled over bare wood. None of them are visible once the tile is on, and none of them show up in a low bid. We build the waterproofing as one continuous assembly, hold water in the pan overnight to prove it, and only then start setting tile — so the finish you are paying for is sitting on something that will outlast it.
Conversions, curbless walk-ins, custom tile, glass and valve upgrades. Demolition, framing repair, plumbing rough-in, waterproofing, tile and enclosure — sequenced by one project manager, inspected under one license.
An unused alcove tub comes out and the full width becomes a walk-in shower — new drain, new valve, new waterproofing.
Zero-threshold entries with a recessed pan and linear drain, so the floor runs flat from the door to the shower head.
Bonded membrane over a sloped bed, sealed corners and flange, water-tested before a single tile is set.
Templated frameless and semi-frameless enclosures, thermostatic valves, rain heads, hand showers and body sprays.
A shower is a waterproofing assembly with tile on it. Here is the full scope Serden Group coordinates — our own crew on demolition, waterproofing, tile and finish, plus licensed, vetted trade partners for plumbing and electrical.
Tub, surround, old tile and any soft backer board come out completely. Nothing new gets built on a substrate that has already been wet.
Rot at the sill plate, a spongy subfloor or a wall that is out of plumb gets corrected first — tile telegraphs every flaw underneath it.
Relocated drains, new mixing valves and pressure-balanced or thermostatic trim, roughed in and inspected before the walls close.
A bonded sheet or liquid membrane over a properly sloped bed, with the corners, curb and drain flange sealed as one continuous system.
The pan gets plugged and held with water so a failure shows up while it is still a plumbing fix instead of a demolition.
Framed and waterproofed as part of the shower assembly — not siliconed on after the fact, which is where most leaks start.
Layout planned off the drain and the door sightline, full-coverage mortar behind every piece, and joints that line up wall to floor.
Measured after the tile is set and cured, then templated so the reveal at the wall is even and the door swings clear of the vanity.
An exhaust fan sized to the room and ducted outside, plus the plumbing permit and inspections whenever a drain or wall moves.
Before you pay for design, we measure your lot against your zone's setbacks, lot coverage and height limits, and check whether your foundation and roof can carry what you want to build. You get an honest yes, a build-up-instead recommendation, or a no — plus a realistic budget range.
Floor plans, elevations and stamped structural drawings, then submittal and plan-review management with Clark County, Vancouver, Camas or Portland Permitting & Development. Every selection and every line of the schedule is approved before material is ordered.
Footings, framing, roof tie-in, mechanicals, then finishes — with your kitchen and bathrooms kept in service and the work zone sealed and dust-controlled. One project manager, one number to call, and a punch-list walkthrough before final inspection.
With Serden Group, you get expert guidance and a stress-free home remodel — from design to final walkthrough.
Great experience working with this company. They were professional, responsive, and the quality of their work was solid. They even took the time to treat me to lunch and go over the project details, which I appreciated. Would recommend.
The SERDEN Group did a complete remodel of our two upstairs bathrooms. Every step of the way Dennis, and his team, were communicative, kind, timely, and productive. They worked diligently, caring about the impact of having workers in your home. Everyone was friendly and attended to our creative ideas for the bathrooms. In the end we have two amazing new bathrooms. Our family is grateful for SERDEN and are wonderfully reminded daily of their excellent work. Thank you!
I recently hired Serden Group for a full kitchen and bathroom remodel, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, the team was professional, reliable, and detail-oriented. The quality of their work is outstanding — everything from the tile installation to the cabinetry and finishes looks beautiful and well-crafted. They completed the project on time and within budget, which is rare to find these days. I highly recommend Serden Group to anyone looking for top-quality remodeling work. They truly exceeded my expectations!
I had a very pleasant experience with SERDEN GROUP company. They remodeled my bathroom, and I am completely satisfied with the result. Fast and high-quality work. Denis answered all of my questions, suggested great solutions for the renovation, and delivered everything he promised. I 100% recommend them.
Had the pleasure to work with this team on a project for one of their clients. They followed through with every request from start to finish and we can proudly say that, they really put their best foot forward with all their work. Our team would love to continue to work together for future jobs!
Finished shower projects in this metro generally run $6,500 for a prefab conversion to $38,000 for a curbless, expanded tile shower. Here is the range we plan from before we have opened a wall.
Moving the drain, going curbless over a joist bay or a slab, mosaic and large-format tile, frameless glass, thermostatic valves with body sprays — and any rot we find the day the tub comes out.
Keeping the existing drain and valve locations, one tile size in a simple stack or offset layout, a semi-frameless enclosure, and doing the work while a wall is already open for something else.
The exhaust fan and its duct run to the exterior, door hardware, 15% extra tile for cuts and a future repair, and subfloor work nobody can see until demolition. We put an allowance for it in the contract.
Three different projects get called "a shower remodel." They have different timelines, different permit exposure and very different budgets — so it is worth naming yours before you collect bids.
Same footprint, same drain, same valve wall. The tile and pan are failing or dated and everything gets rebuilt in place.
Best when you need
Usually 2–3 weeks on site. Often no permit if nothing plumbed moves.
An alcove tub nobody has filled in years becomes a full-width walk-in shower, with the drain moved to the center or to a linear channel.
Best when you need
Plan on 3–4 weeks and a plumbing permit. Keep one tub somewhere in the house if this is your last one.
The shower is the biggest line item, but the vanity, floor, lighting and layout are all coming with it.
Best when you need
Typically 5–8 weeks. See our full bathroom scope and pricing.

Serden Group builds additions on both sides of the Columbia — bump-outs on Clark County's newer subdivisions, primary suites on Camas hillside lots, and second stories on Portland's older bungalows. Setbacks, lot coverage, stormwater and design review differ in every one of these jurisdictions, and we have permitted work through all of them.
