- Superior water resistance that protects your home’s structure
- Endless design options from classic to contemporary styles
- Increased home value with the potential of 60-70% ROI on bathroom renovations
- Easier maintenance than many alternative materials
Boost Your Home’s Appraisal Value with a Bathroom Renovation
A bathroom renovation with a professionally installed tile shower is a smart investment in your Lancaster County home. Real estate experts consistently rank updated bathrooms among the most valuable improvements, significantly impacting home appraisals and buyer interest.
Quality tile work signals a well-maintained, thoughtfully updated home. In competitive Lancaster County markets, a renovated bathroom with custom tile can justify a premium price and speed your sale.
Tile Shower Designs
With an endless array of design options, it’s no wonder tile showers take center stage in a bathroom remodeling project. That’s exciting and daunting at the same time! Whether your style is contemporary or classic, Heck Residential can help you achieve the look and feel that’s right for you and your home. Here are some tips to help you achieve the look you want for your tile shower.
Key Factors to Consider
How Long You’ll Stay in the Home: If you’re planning to sell within 5-7 years, classic designs offer broader appeal and won’t feel dated to potential buyers. If this is your forever home, you have more freedom to express personal style since you’re the only one who needs to love it.
Your Personality and Risk Tolerance: Are you someone who gets tired of things quickly or craves novelty? Or do you prefer consistency and calm? Honest self-assessment matters – some people genuinely love their bold choices decades later, while others regret them within a year.
Budget for Future Updates: Retiling a shower is expensive ($3,000-$10,000+). If you can’t afford or don’t want to renovate again in 10 years, stick with a classic style. If you view the bathroom as something you’ll refresh periodically, trends are less risky.
The Rest of Your Home’s Style: A trendy shower in an otherwise traditional home can feel jarring. Consider whether the design will blend seamlessly with your home’s architecture and other design choices.

Smart Compromise Strategies
The 80/20 Rule: Use 80% classic tile (white subway, neutral stone) and add 20% trend through easily changeable elements – a patterned floor, single accent strip, or decorative niche backing. This gives personality without full commitment.
Quality Over Flash: Choose beautiful materials in simple applications rather than complex patterns in mediocre materials. Real marble in a classic layout beats trendy cement tile that’s poorly installed.
Test Your Choice: Live with paint samples or printed images of your tile choice for a few weeks. If you’re still excited after the novelty wears off, it’s probably right for you.
Consider “Slow Trends”: Some current trends are actually evolutions of timeless design – like upgrading from standard subway to slightly larger 4×12 formats, or choosing warm grays instead of stark white. These feel fresh but won’t scream “2025.”
Questions to Ask Yourself
- Will I be embarrassed showing this bathroom to guests in 10 years?
- Am I choosing this because I genuinely love it, or because I saw it on social media?
- Can I imagine this tile with different fixtures, paint colors, and accessories as styles evolve?
- Does this design make me feel calm and happy, or just impressed?
The best choice is often the one that excites you personally while maintaining good bones. You can always add on-trend elements through towels, hardware, and accessories – but you’re stuck with the tile.
