        "text": "Porcelain and ceramic tile offer exceptional durability and water resistance for wet areas, but they require careful substrate preparation and waterproofing behind the scenes. Acrylic or fiberglass surrounds are quicker to install and budget-friendly, yet they lack the longevity, custom aesthetic, and resale appeal of real tile. Our crew specializes in custom tile and marble installation, ensuring backer board and waterproofing membranes are properly installed so your shower walls remain watertight and structurally sound for decades.",
