They did a great job laying down several different kinds of carpet tiles, and also traditional tiling. He was fair and transparent in his pricing. Much more so than other commercial installers. Jeff was a great communicator throughout the process. Iâ d work with him again should the opportunity arise."

Yes, your shower pan goes underneath your tiling and helps prevent excess water from seeping into the floor.
