Custom Shower Door Installation Melville
Your Bathroom Finally Works the Way You Want
You step into your shower without wrestling with a flimsy curtain or squeezing past a door that barely opens. The glass is crystal clear, the seals are tight, and water stays exactly where it belongs.
No more soggy bathroom floors. No more mold creeping up the corners of plastic curtains. No more feeling like your bathroom looks dated compared to the rest of your renovated home.
Your new frameless shower door makes the entire space feel bigger and brighter. Friends notice. Your home value reflects it. And you actually enjoy using your bathroom again instead of just tolerating it.
Shower Door Company Melville NY
25 Years of Getting It Right
We’ve been installing glass shower doors for Long Island families since 1999. We’re the company contractors recommend when they need shower doors for their own homes.
We’ve seen every type of bathroom layout Melville has to offer, from cramped 1950s ranch homes to sprawling new construction in developments like Sweet Hollow. Each project gets the same attention whether it’s a simple replacement or a complete custom design.
Our shop is right here on Long Island, which means we understand local building styles, local contractors, and what Long Island homeowners actually want from their bathroom renovations. When you call, you talk to people who live and work in your community.
Shower Door Installation Process Melville
From Measurement to Installation in Two Weeks
We start with precise measurements at your home, usually within a few days of your call. Our installer takes exact dimensions and discusses your style preferences, hardware finishes, and any special considerations for your bathroom layout.
Your custom door is fabricated in our Long Island shop using tempered safety glass and quality hardware. We call you when it’s ready, typically within 10-14 days from measurement.
Installation takes 2-3 hours. We protect your floors, install your new door, clean up completely, and test everything before we leave. You’re using your new shower the same day. No waiting around for follow-up appointments or callbacks to finish the job.

What You Get with Every Installation
Every shower door installation includes custom measurement, professional fabrication, and complete installation with cleanup. We use 3/8″ or 1/2″ tempered safety glass, quality hinges or sliding hardware, and appropriate seals for your specific shower configuration.
Melville homes built in different decades require different approaches. Older ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s often need adjustments for walls that aren’t perfectly plumb, while newer construction allows for more precise installations. We handle both situations routinely because we’ve been working in Suffolk County neighborhoods for over two decades.
Your installation includes a full warranty on both the door and our workmanship. We’re local, so if you ever need service or have questions, we’re a phone call away, not a customer service center in another state. That matters when you need something fixed or have questions months later.
How long does shower door installation take from start to finish?
From your initial call to completed installation, the process typically takes 2-3 weeks. We schedule your measurement within a few days, fabricate your custom door in 10-14 days, and complete installation in one appointment lasting 2-3 hours.
This timeline assumes standard configurations and glass availability. Complex custom designs or specialty glass options might add a few extra days, but we’ll give you an exact timeline when we measure.
The actual installation day is surprisingly quick. Most customers are amazed that something they’ve been thinking about for months gets completed in one morning or afternoon. You’re back to normal life the same day, just with a much better shower experience.
What's the difference between framed and frameless shower doors?
Frameless doors use thicker glass (typically 3/8″ or 1/2″) with minimal hardware, creating a clean, modern look that makes bathrooms appear larger. Framed doors have metal frames around the glass panels, which provides structure but can look more traditional.
Frameless doors are more popular now because they’re easier to clean, show off tile work, and create that spa-like feeling most homeowners want. They do cost more than framed options, but the visual impact usually justifies the difference.
The choice often comes down to your bathroom style and budget. We can show you examples of both options and help you decide what works best for your specific space and preferences. Most Melville homeowners doing bathroom renovations choose frameless for the modern, open feel.
Will a glass shower door work with my existing shower setup?
Most existing showers can accommodate glass doors, but it depends on your specific configuration. We need adequate wall structure for mounting, proper drainage, and reasonable dimensions for the door opening.
During measurement, we assess your shower walls, check for plumb and level, and determine the best door configuration for your space. Sometimes we recommend minor modifications, like adjusting a curb or adding blocking behind tile.
The measurement appointment is free and gives you definitive answers about what’s possible in your bathroom. We’ve worked with everything from tiny apartment showers to elaborate master bath installations. If there’s a way to make it work, we’ll find it.
How do I clean and maintain my new glass shower door?
Daily maintenance is simple: squeegee the glass after each shower or wipe it down with a microfiber cloth. This prevents water spots and soap scum buildup that makes cleaning difficult later.
For deeper cleaning, use a mild glass cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that can scratch the glass or damage hardware finishes.
We can apply protective coatings during installation that make cleaning easier and reduce water spotting. These treatments aren’t necessary, but many customers find them worthwhile for the time they save on maintenance. Long Island’s hard water makes these coatings especially useful.
What happens if my shower door breaks or needs repair?
Tempered safety glass is designed to be extremely durable, but if damage occurs, the entire panel needs replacement. The glass is designed to crumble into small, relatively safe pieces rather than creating dangerous shards.
We warranty our installation work and can handle any repairs needed due to installation issues. Glass breakage from impact or other damage isn’t covered, but we can replace panels and get you back to normal quickly.
Because we’re local and stock common hardware, most repairs can be completed faster than if you were dealing with a national company. We know what we installed and have the expertise to fix it properly. That’s the advantage of working with a Long Island company that’s been here for decades.
How much should I expect to pay for shower door installation?
Shower door installations in the Melville area typically range from $800 to $2,500, depending on the size, glass thickness, hardware quality, and complexity of the installation. Frameless doors cost more than framed options due to the thicker glass and precision hardware required.
We provide free estimates that include everything: measurement, fabrication, installation, and cleanup. No hidden fees or surprise charges. The quote we give you is what you pay.
Most customers find that investing in quality doors and professional installation saves money long-term compared to cheaper options that need frequent repairs or replacement. We’re happy to discuss options that fit your budget during the estimate. Good shower doors are an investment that pays off every day you use them.
