TLDR: You are not stuck with whoever your builder "prefers" to use for tile. Request us on your next custom home!
In 2025 we tore out 16 tile showers & several backsplashes/floors. 90% of these jobs were new builds & brand new showers. In 2026 we have already ripped out 10 tile showers.
I say all of this to say if YOU are building YOUR forever home, please do not feel stuck with who the builder "prefers" to use. Whether it be plumbing, electrical, tile, flooring. These are all "recommendations", some they have good rapport with, others are "hunting buddies".
Please just do your research, especially for tile, so that you don't end up with $10,000-15,000 in repairs. This photo is from 2025, an actual tile shower done by a local company where the studs were rotted out and the exterior walls were sinking because of it.
