Common Questions
Shower Enclosures, Mirrors, and Grab Bars: Frequently Asked Questions
What types of custom shower enclosures do you install?
We install the full range of custom shower glass options, including frameless shower enclosures, semi-frameless shower doors, and framed shower doors, along with sliding and bypass shower doors, pivot and hinged shower doors, neo-angle shower enclosures, and walk-in doorless showers. Each style is built from a template of your exact bathroom layout, so the glass shower panels fit your space precisely rather than a standard size. We'll talk through the options during your estimate and recommend what works best for your bathroom's shape and your daily routine.
How long does a shower door installation or replacement typically take?
Most shower door installation and shower glass replacement projects are completed in one to two days once the glass has been fabricated to your measurements. Simple framed shower door swaps can sometimes be finished in a single visit, while larger tub-to-shower conversion glass projects or custom neo-angle enclosures may take a bit longer. We'll give you a firm timeline at your in-home measurement appointment so you know exactly when your new enclosure will be ready to use.
Do you take precise measurements before fabricating the glass?
Yes, every custom glass installation starts with an in-home measurement visit. Our team measures your shower opening, wall plumb, and floor level carefully, because even a small discrepancy affects how well a frameless shower enclosure seals and swings. This step is what separates a true custom shower enclosure from an off-the-shelf kit, and it's why our installations fit tight without gaps or leaks.
Can you install custom mirrors and mirror walls to match my shower glass?
Absolutely. Custom mirror installation is one of our most requested finishing touches, from a single vanity mirror to a full mirror wall installation that opens up a smaller bathroom. We cut vanity mirrors and mirror walls to your exact wall dimensions, with beveled or polished edges to match your shower glass and bathroom hardware. Many homeowners add this when they book a shower enclosure, since our crew is already on-site with the tools to do both.
Do you install grab bars for bathroom safety and accessibility?
Yes, grab bar installation is one of our core services alongside shower glass work. We install bathroom safety bars and shower grab bar installation in towel-bar style and heavy-duty accessibility grab bars, anchored securely into wall studs or backing so they hold real weight. This service is popular with homeowners planning ahead for aging in place, as well as anyone recovering from surgery or injury who needs reliable support in the shower or tub area.
