Frequently Asked

Answers for Garden District homeowners.

Do you work on Garden District historic homes?+

Yes — a large portion of my high-end work is Garden District renovations. We move carefully around original moldings, plaster, and trim, and we test every substrate before we apply microcement or tadelakt.

What does a Garden District tadelakt shower cost?+

Tadelakt in the Garden District follows the same three service tiers as microcement, but final pricing may differ based on surface preparation, application complexity, finish selection, and wet-area requirements. Essential Bathroom Overlay: starting at $5,500 (most qualifying overlays $5,500–$9,500). Signature Grout-Free Bathroom Transformation: starting at $15,000 (most Signature transformations $18,000–$35,000+, includes up to 30 sq ft of radiant heated flooring at no additional charge). Luxury Seamless Wet Room: starting at $30,000, priced individually.

Can you coordinate with our architect or designer?+

Absolutely. A lot of my Garden District work is designer-specified — I'm comfortable presenting samples, color matching, and meeting on-site to walk specs.
