We get this question a lot. And honestly? We love it when homeowners want to add those finishing touches that make a bathroom feel custom and complete. A shower niche is one of those upgrades that's totally worth it—no more shampoo bottles cluttering the floor or falling off those suction cup shelves.
But here's the thing: timing is everything.
When Can You Add a Niche?
✅ During planning or demo phase
This is the sweet spot! We can frame it right into the wall structure and waterproof it properly from the start.
⏱️ Before waterproofing
Still doable! We can cut into the framing and add the niche, but it adds time and may adjust the budget.
❌ After tile is up
This is where it gets tricky. At this point, adding a niche means tearing out tile, redoing waterproofing, and significant rework. Not impossible, but costly.
