        "text": "Shower installation costs vary widely based on materials, plumbing relocation, and structural condition. Simple shower updates using pre-formed pans and standard fixtures cost significantly less than fully customized walk-in showers with floor-to-ceiling tile, marble accents, and frameless glass. Major cost drivers include custom framing, moving rough plumbing lines, installing custom benches or recessed niches, and fixing hidden moisture or subfloor damage discovered during demolition. Owner-operated contractors often help manage labor expenses by handling framing, drywall, and tile directly while bringing in specialized trade partners only for dedicated plumbing rough-ins.",
