Specialized work.

Floor and feature-wall rates cover installation labor on prepared surfaces; tile and additional preparation are quoted separately. Conversion pricing assumes a straightforward project with minimal plumbing changes; major drain moves, hidden-damage repairs, premium tile, fixtures, and shower glass are quoted separately. Final pricing depends on project size, materials, existing conditions, and design. Your written quote confirms the scope and inclusions.

Expanding the craft

Decorative plaster.
Depth without grout lines.

Venetian-inspired plaster, lime-based textures, polished mineral finishes, and microcement wet areas are part of the Reap Surfaceworks offering.

The same eye for flatness, movement, transitions, and hand-finished detail carries naturally from tile into seamless wall and fireplace surfaces. Decorative plaster and microcement showers are available for select projects.

The Reap standard

The finished surface is only as good as everything behind it.

FlatnessCorrect the surface before setting begins.

CoverageSet for support—not just appearance.

LayoutPlan focal points, cuts, and transitions first.

MovementRespect changes of plane and the building underneath.

The process

A deliberate build from first look to final clean.

No mystery handoffs. Each phase is discussed before the work moves forward.

01

Walk the project

Review dimensions, substrate, access, tile selection, and the details that can change the scope.

02

Define the build

Set expectations for prep, layout, materials, sequence, schedule, and what is included.

03

Install deliberately

Protect the space, correct the surface, dry-plan the layout, and install with consistent coverage.

04

Review the finish

Walk the completed work, check transitions and details, and leave the space clean.

Owner-installed

“The layout gets decided before the thinset gets mixed.”

Reap Surfaceworks is built around direct, detail-driven craftsmanship across tile, plaster, and microcement.

The goal is simple: understand the conditions, tell you what the job actually needs, and execute the details cleanly. That matters most on demanding showers, handmade tile, large-format surfaces, and remodels where the existing structure is rarely perfect. Decorative plaster and microcement bring that same surface-first discipline to seamless feature walls, fireplaces, and showers.

Good to know

Questions before the first walkthrough.

Do you handle waterproofing and prep?

Yes. Wet-area systems, surface correction, mud work, foam-board systems, and preparation can be included when the project requires them.

Can you install owner-supplied tile?

Yes. Tile can be supplied by the homeowner or builder. The material is reviewed before installation for size variation, warpage, shade range, and special handling.

How long does a typical shower build take?

A typical shower build takes about one week.

Do you offer decorative plaster finishes?

Yes. Decorative plaster is available for select fireplaces, feature walls, and interior surfaces. Finish samples and a substrate review are part of defining the final system.

How are microcement showers built?

Microcement in a shower is treated as a complete wet-area system—not simply a decorative skim coat. Substrate preparation, waterproofing, reinforcement, base coats, finish coats, and sealer must all be compatible.

What should I send for an estimate?

Photos of the full space, rough dimensions, the project location, tile photos or links, and a short note about the current substrate are the best starting point.
