KERDI is a waterproofing membrane system made by Schluter that is installed over shower walls before tile — creating a completely moisture-impervious barrier. Standard cement board absorbs moisture over time and fails within 5–8 years, leading to mold and structural damage. KERDI prevents all moisture from reaching the framing. Galvez installs KERDI on 100% of shower builds because North Mississippi's 72% summer humidity makes standard approaches inadequate.

In Starkville's 2026 market, a strategic bathroom renovation at $10,000–$18,000 typically adds more buyer-perceived value than its cost, while moving costs (agent fees, closing costs, moving expenses) often total 12–15% of home value. A tub-to-shower conversion with frameless glass delivers the bathroom that competing newer construction offers — at a fraction of the cost of moving to newer construction.
