Custom Glass Shower Installation
You know that feeling when you step into a high-end hotel bathroom? That’s what happens when your shower enclosure is done right. No more fighting with a shower curtain that sticks to you. No more water pooling on your bathroom floor.
Frameless doors make your bathroom look bigger and brighter. The glass reflects light instead of blocking it, and suddenly your space feels twice as open. You get the luxury spa experience without leaving home.
Shower renovations typically yield a 70% return on investment when you sell. But more importantly, you get to enjoy it every single day until then.

Shower Enclosure Installation Process
The process starts with a consultation at your home. We measure your space, discuss your style preferences, and walk through options that work with your bathroom layout and budget. No cookie-cutter solutions—every enclosure is designed for your specific space.
Once you approve the design and proposal, we create templates for precise fabrication. All glass is heavy-duty tempered safety glass that meets safety standards. The fabrication happens locally, which means better quality control and faster turnaround times.
Installation day is typically a half-day process for standard enclosures. Our team arrives with everything needed, installs your new shower enclosure, cleans up, and walks you through proper care and maintenance. You’re left with a shower that looks like it was always meant to be there.

Frameless Shower Door Options
We specialize in frameless shower enclosures, but we also handle framed and semi-frameless options depending on your needs and budget. Frameless doors typically range from $300 to $3,300, while framed options offer a more budget-friendly entry point.
For Inwood homeowners, the most popular choices are frameless hinged doors and sliding enclosures. Frameless options work especially well in smaller bathrooms because they create a clean, modern look that makes the space appear larger and more open. The thicker glass and minimal hardware give you that high-end hotel feel.
Custom sizing is available for unique bathroom layouts. Whether you’re dealing with angled walls, unusual dimensions, or want to incorporate specific design elements, we can fabricate glass to fit your exact specifications. We also handle specialty glass options like frosted or textured glass for added privacy without sacrificing light.
How much does a custom shower enclosure cost in Inwood?
Frameless shower doors typically cost $600 to $1,900 with installation, while framed options run $400 to $1,100 installed. The final price depends on your specific measurements, glass thickness, hardware finishes, and installation complexity.
For custom work in the Inwood area, expect to invest more than standard sizes because everything needs to be fabricated to your exact specifications. However, shower renovations typically return 70% of the investment when you sell, making it a smart home improvement choice.
We provide transparent proposals upfront, so you know exactly what you’re paying for. No hidden fees or surprise charges after the work begins.
What's the difference between framed and frameless shower doors?
Framed doors have a metal frame made of aluminum, brass, or stainless steel that surrounds and supports the glass. They’re more budget-friendly and work well for standard tub-shower combinations.
Frameless doors use thicker glass and attach directly to walls with minimal hardware, creating a floating glass effect. They’re easier to clean because there are fewer places for mold and mildew to grow.
The choice often comes down to your budget and aesthetic preferences. Frameless creates a more modern, spa-like feel, while framed offers reliable performance at a lower price point. Both options are durable when properly installed.
How long does shower door installation take?
Most installations take two to four hours, depending on the complexity of your project. Simple frameless doors in standard openings can often be completed in a morning, while custom enclosures with multiple panels may take a full day.
The timeline also depends on whether you’re replacing an existing door or installing in a newly renovated bathroom. Site prep work like removing old doors and reinforcing walls can add time to the project.
We schedule installations to minimize disruption to your daily routine. We’ll give you a realistic timeframe during the consultation and keep you updated if anything changes.
Do you handle permits for shower door installation?
Permits aren’t always required for shower door installation, but some municipalities require them, especially for major bathroom remodels. Costs typically range from $50 to $200.
In most cases, simply replacing a shower door doesn’t require a permit. However, if you’re making structural changes, moving plumbing, or doing electrical work as part of the project, permits may be necessary.
We can help you understand what’s required for your specific project and handle permit applications when needed. We clarify responsibilities upfront so there are no surprises during the process.
What type of glass is used for shower enclosures?
All shower enclosures use heavy-duty tempered safety glass that won’t shatter into dangerous pieces. Frameless doors typically use thicker 3/8″ or 1/2″ glass because there’s no frame for support.
Shower glass costs $50 to $150 per square foot depending on thickness. You can also choose from clear, frosted, or textured glass options depending on your privacy needs and design preferences.
All glass meets NYC building codes for safety and performance. We only use premium materials that are built to last, with proper installation ensuring your enclosure stays secure and leak-free for years.
How do I maintain my new shower enclosure?
Frameless doors are easier to clean because there are fewer hardware components where mold and mildew can grow. Regular cleaning with a squeegee after each shower and weekly deep cleaning with glass cleaner keeps them looking new.
Routine maintenance includes cleaning, resealing joints, and tightening hardware. Most homeowners can handle basic upkeep, though professional maintenance services are available for $75 to $200 per visit if needed.
We provide care instructions after installation and can recommend the best cleaning products for your specific glass type and hardware finish. Proper maintenance ensures your warranty stays valid and your enclosure performs like new.
