Cary, NC: Upgraded Showers Can Really Help Sell a House!

Who doesn't love a great shower in the morning? Bring the water, hot, and lots of it!
Upgraded showers are extremely popular in Cary homes' master baths, and we want that shower to be pleasant and easy cleaning.

Tile is great, and looks best when the floor also has tile on it.

But, the old one-piece fiberglass, while not glitzy or stylish, offers easy cleaning and great durability.

I have this little pet peeve with a lot of showers. At 6'5", and carrying a few groceries too many, I want to be able to get in and out. The tight shower door below made for a good photo op. And the second one shows what I'm talkin' about.

Then there is the multiple head shower, aka, "His and Hers," "King and Queen," or, like the last photo, "Tsunami." It's His, Hers, and Cloudburst.

Tile shower accents and dual shower heads

With no curb, lots of water, and great space, my wife loved this one.

Nice showers.I like taking baths and always look for homes with a large jetted tub.
I am not tall like you but still most tubs are so small.

Mike, I would love to have the "Tsunami" shower. I remember the houses I lived in growing up the kitchen and the baths were kind of after thoughts. My how times have changed.

Wow some great looking showers there, Gary! Yes, it is important to have a shower where you don't feel closed in. Love the one with the small tile on the floor!

Stan,

Actually from multiple homes, but all very nice homes.

Sidney,

I gave up on tubs a long time ago.

Tom,

I think I remember things as you do. The change is dramatic.

Sharon and Bruce,

That tile real stands out, as does the tile floor in the photo with the tight door.

Mike, I am with your wife. I like that last one, too! When we were on vacation in WDW, my husband really liked the rain fall shower heads. There was water falling from several spouts and then, the rain fall spouts. It was amazing. We are definitely, changing one of our bathrooms to have this!

Say, can you share how you have your photo on your QR code? I like that!

Hi, Fran,

I just used a photo editor to stick my photo on the QR Code. Both are jpg, so it was easy.

We really liked the indirect lighting overhead.
