Shower Door Installation Process
First, we come to your home for a consultation and precise measurements. No guesswork, no estimates based on photos. We need to see your space, understand your needs, and identify any potential issues before work begins.
Next, we provide a detailed proposal that breaks down materials, labor, and timeline. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for and when the work will be completed. No surprises, no change orders unless you request modifications.
Installation day means professional technicians who protect your existing surfaces and clean up completely when finished. We handle everything from removing old fixtures to final cleanup, so you can use your new shower enclosure the same day.

Frameless Shower Door Options
Every custom shower enclosure includes professional measurement, high-quality tempered glass, and hardware designed to last. You’re not getting builder-grade materials that fail in a few years.
Long Island homes face unique challenges with humidity and temperature changes. The glass and hardware we install handle these conditions without warping, leaking, or losing structural integrity. That’s why we can offer warranties other companies won’t match.
Installation includes complete protection of your existing bathroom surfaces, professional removal of old fixtures if needed, and thorough cleanup. You won’t find glass shards in your carpet or scratches on your vanity when we’re finished.
How long does custom shower enclosure installation take?
Most installations are completed in one day, typically 3-4 hours depending on the complexity of your project. Simple frameless door installations often take less time, while multi-panel enclosures with custom angles may require additional time.
The timeline starts with your consultation and measurement appointment. From there, custom glass fabrication typically takes 7-10 business days. Once your glass is ready, we schedule installation at your convenience.
Weather rarely affects indoor installation, but we’ll reschedule if conditions make it unsafe to transport large glass panels to your home.
What's the difference between frameless and framed shower doors?
Frameless shower doors use thicker tempered glass (typically 3/8″ or 1/2″) and minimal hardware, creating a clean, modern look. The glass itself provides the structural strength, so you get unobstructed views and easier cleaning.
Framed doors use thinner glass supported by metal framing around the perimeter. While less expensive, framed doors have more places where soap scum and water can collect, requiring more maintenance over time.
For Long Island homes, frameless doors often make smaller bathrooms appear larger and add more resale value. The investment difference is usually recovered when you sell your home.
Will installation damage my existing tile or bathroom surfaces?
Professional installation should never damage your existing surfaces. We use protective coverings and specialized tools designed specifically for working in finished bathrooms.
Before starting any work, we identify potential risk areas and take appropriate precautions. This includes protecting floors, walls, vanities, and fixtures from glass particles, drilling debris, or accidental contact.
If your existing caulk or hardware needs removal, we handle this carefully to avoid tile damage. In rare cases where tile repair is needed, we’ll discuss options before proceeding and work with qualified tile professionals when necessary.
How much do custom shower enclosures cost in Uniondale?
Pricing depends on glass thickness, hardware finish, door configuration, and installation complexity. Basic frameless doors typically start around $800-1200, while complex multi-panel enclosures can range from $1500-3000 or more.
The investment includes professional measurement, custom glass fabrication, quality hardware, and complete installation. You’re also getting warranties on both materials and workmanship that protect your investment long-term.
We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no pressure tactics. Military, veterans, and first responders receive additional discounts.
What type of glass is best for Long Island's climate?
Tempered safety glass is required by code and handles Long Island’s humidity and temperature fluctuations better than standard glass. It’s also four times stronger than regular glass and shatters into small, relatively harmless pieces if broken.
For shower applications, 3/8″ or 1/2″ thickness provides the right balance of strength, safety, and appearance. Thicker glass looks more substantial and provides better structural integrity for frameless installations.
Clear glass is most popular, but options include low-iron glass for ultra-clarity, frosted glass for privacy, or textured glass for unique aesthetics. The choice depends on your bathroom’s lighting, size, and personal preferences.
Do you handle permits and building code requirements?
Most shower door installations don’t require permits in Nassau County, but we stay current on all local building codes and safety requirements. We ensure every installation meets or exceeds code standards.
When permits are required (typically for structural modifications), we’ll advise you upfront and can recommend qualified contractors for any additional work needed. We coordinate with other trades when necessary to keep your project on schedule.
Our installations always meet safety glass requirements, proper drainage standards, and accessibility guidelines where applicable. Being members of professional associations means we stay updated on code changes and best practices.
