Tom and Janet’s Shower Upgrade in the Great Plains of South Dakota

Remodeling bathrooms across diverse landscapes—from bustling cities to wide-open plains—has been part of the journey for Custom Bath & Shower. But there’s something about a South Dakota project that feels extra special. Maybe it’s the friendly folks, the breathtaking views past the fields, or simply the way people here recognize quality when they see it. That’s exactly the vibe we got when we first met Tom and Janet.

From Acrylic Fatigue to a Real Solution

Tom and Janet, a down-to-earth couple living just outside of Sioux Falls, were ready to say goodbye to their outdated, acrylic shower—the kind that looks shiny in ads but never quite holds up in real life.

“We see those acrylic things all over the internet and on TV shows,” said Tom, “but they just don’t look built for South Dakota living.”

We couldn’t agree more. In a state where your shower has to handle muddy boots, frozen mornings, and the occasional dog-washing emergency, durability is non-negotiable. When we showed them our man-made stone shower system, their eyes lit up like it was the first sunny day after a February blizzard.

“Now this,” Janet said, tapping on the display, “looks like something that can survive our winters and still look good doing it.”

Planning With Purpose

We worked closely with Tom and Janet to pick the right color and layout for their new shower. They chose a warm, stone-textured finish that gave their bathroom a cozy, rustic vibe—like a little slice of the Black Hills in their own home.

And they loved that the system is low-maintenance. “I don’t have time to scrub grout lines,” Janet joked. “I’ve got grandkids to chase and rhubarb pies to bake.”

We made sure every detail was covered—from a built-in bench for comfort to sturdy shelving for shampoo bottles that always seem to multiply.

Installation Day: Quick, Clean, and Courteous

When installation day arrived, our team rolled in bright and early, ready to work. Tom and Janet appreciated how respectful and efficient our crew was. No muddy boots on the carpet, no loud banging, and definitely no mess left behind.

“They were in and out faster than a South Dakota storm,” Tom laughed. “And just as impressive—but without the hail.”

The whole process went off without a hitch. The crew answered every question, double-checked every detail, and treated the home like it was their own.

A South Dakota-Sized 10/10

When it was all finished, Tom and Janet took one look at their new shower and couldn’t stop smiling.

“This is exactly what we were hoping for,” Janet said. “Actually, better.”

They rated the experience a 10 out of 10, from the first consultation to the final wipe-down of the glass.
