Schluter certification means the installer has been trained and tested on Schluter Systems products — the gold standard in tile waterproofing. This includes KERDI waterproofing membranes, DITRA uncoupling systems, and KERDI-LINE linear drains. A Schluter certified installer guarantees your shower will never leak due to improper waterproofing.

A typical guest bathroom remodel takes 5 to 7 business days. A full master bathroom remodel takes 10 to 14 business days. Because Grout & About is owner-operated, we maintain a strict schedule with no subcontractor delays.
