        "text": "Most shower replacements follow a sequence: confirm the layout, select the pan or base, walls, fixtures, door, and finishes, then plan demolition, plumbing, waterproofing, installation, and final connections. Context: Elite Remodeling & Design describes a coordinated process that can include consultation, design development, 3D visualization, material selections, permit coordination, construction, and final inspection. Key factors: whether the footprint stays the same; whether plumbing moves; tile versus a manufactured surround; custom glass; and concealed damage. Practical guidance: Request a written scope showing what happens before demolition, who supplies materials, how access and dust are managed, and what inspection or closeout steps apply. Confirm selections early because a late change to the valve, niche, pan, or tile pattern can affect both sequence and cost.",

        "description": "A full replacement typically includes design and measurements, material selection, demolition, plumbing work if needed, substrate preparation, waterproofing, wall and floor installation, fixtures, glass or a door, sealing, and cleanup. The exact sequence depends on the existing layout and what demolition reveals."
