Case Study: The Schneider Family’s Shower Transformation in Omaha, NE

The Challenge: Not Another Acrylic Shower, Please

The Schneiders of Omaha, NE were on a mission. Their old bathroom shower was… serviceable. But after years of uninspiring acrylic walls, they were ready for a space that felt more like a retreat and less like something out of a budget motel. What they wanted was a shower that felt substantial—a place that brought a bit of spa-day energy into their daily routine.

Their one big request? “Please, not acrylic.” The search for a stylish, durable, and not-too-high-maintenance material led them to Custom Bath & Shower. There, they discovered something that instantly piqued their interest: man-made stone showers.

The Decision: Man-Made Stone for the Win

If acrylic was the fast food of shower materials, the Schneiders were ready for a five-course meal. Man-made stone offered exactly what they were looking for—elegance, texture, and the kind of weight (both literally and aesthetically) that made the shower feel like a real upgrade.

After reviewing samples and designs, they chose a stunning stone finish that gave off high-end vibes without requiring high-end maintenance. It was the kind of material that makes guests say, “Wow, where did you get this?” and makes homeowners secretly pleased every time they step inside.

The Installation: Clean, Clear, and Communicative

Let’s be honest: when most people think about home remodeling, they imagine dust, delays, and a crew of strangers who leave behind a trail of debris. Not so with the team from Custom Bath & Shower.

From day one, the Schneiders were impressed. The installers were punctual, polite, and—perhaps most impressively—clean. Communication was clear and consistent throughout the process. The Schneiders knew exactly what was happening each day, why it was happening, and when it would be done.

And yes, when the job was done, the team cleaned up so thoroughly you’d think they had a vendetta against dust.

The Result: A Shower Worth Showing Off

The new shower was everything the Schneiders had hoped for. Sleek stone walls, seamless lines, and a finish that made the whole bathroom feel elevated. It was modern, inviting, and—most importantly—not acrylic.

When asked for their final thoughts, the family gave the install team a solid 10 out of 10. No hesitation. No qualifiers. Just a perfect score and a very happy household.

Final Thoughts

The Schneiders’ journey is proof that a bathroom renovation doesn’t have to be a messy, stressful ordeal. With a clear vision, the right material, and a team that respects both your space and your time, you can turn an average shower into something that feels a little luxurious—even on a Monday morning.

And for the Schneiders? Well, let’s just say they won’t be missing that old acrylic one bit.
