Shower Door Installation Process Shelter Island
From Measurement to Installation in Days
The process starts with a phone call. We’ll discuss what you’re looking for and schedule a time to come out and take precise measurements. This isn’t a sales call—it’s a consultation where we figure out exactly what will work best in your space.
Once we have your measurements, we’ll provide a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees. If you decide to move forward, we order your custom glass and begin fabrication. Everything is made to your exact specifications.
Installation day is straightforward. Our team arrives on time, installs your new shower doors with precision, and cleans up completely before we leave. You’re left with a functioning shower that looks exactly like what we discussed during your consultation.
The entire process, from that first phone call to enjoying your new shower, typically takes two weeks. Most of our customers are surprised by how smooth and fast the whole experience is.

Shelter Island Heights Shower Door Options
Every Style, Every Budget, Every Space
We handle everything from basic framed doors to completely frameless enclosures. The choice depends on your budget, your bathroom layout, and what you’re trying to achieve aesthetically.
For Shelter Island Heights homeowners, we see a lot of older bathrooms that need updating without major renovation. Glass shower doors are perfect for this because they instantly modernize the space without requiring you to gut the entire bathroom.
We work with all the standard configurations—corner showers, alcove installations, and custom angles for those unique Long Island bathroom layouts. If you have an unusual space, we’ve probably seen something similar and know how to make it work.
Hardware options include everything from basic chrome to brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black finishes. Glass options range from clear to frosted, with various textures available depending on your privacy preferences.
The key is matching the right solution to your specific situation. That’s why we always start with an in-person consultation rather than trying to quote everything over the phone.
How long does shower door installation take in Shelter Island Heights?
Most installations take between 2-4 hours depending on the complexity of your setup. We typically schedule installation appointments in the morning so you can use your shower that same evening.
The timeline from your initial call to installation is usually about two weeks. This includes time for measuring, ordering your custom glass, fabrication, and scheduling the installation. We’re one of the few companies on Long Island that can consistently hit this timeline because we handle everything in-house rather than subcontracting parts of the process.
If you have a rush situation, let us know during your consultation. We can often accommodate faster timelines for an additional fee, though we never compromise on quality to meet a deadline.
What's the cost difference between framed and frameless shower doors?
Frameless doors typically cost 20-30% more than framed options, but the visual impact is significantly different. Frameless doors make your bathroom look larger and more modern, while framed doors offer a more traditional appearance at a lower price point.
The cost difference comes down to the glass thickness and hardware requirements. Frameless doors use thicker glass (usually 3/8″ or 1/2″) and require more substantial hardware to support the weight. Framed doors use thinner glass with the frame providing structural support.
For most Shelter Island Heights bathrooms, we find that frameless doors are worth the investment if your budget allows. They’re easier to clean, look more expensive, and tend to increase your home’s value more than framed alternatives. However, we install plenty of framed doors for customers who prefer that style or are working within a specific budget.
Do you handle repairs on existing shower doors from other companies?
Yes, we service and repair shower doors regardless of who originally installed them. Common repair issues include broken glass, worn weatherstripping, loose hinges, and doors that don’t close properly.
Many repair jobs are more cost-effective than full replacement, especially if the problem is with hardware rather than the glass itself. We carry a wide selection of replacement parts and can usually get your shower door working properly again within a few days.
However, if your existing door is more than 10 years old or has multiple issues, replacement often makes more sense financially. We’ll give you an honest assessment during our service call and explain both repair and replacement options so you can make the best decision for your situation.
What type of glass is best for shower doors in humid Long Island weather?
We recommend tempered glass for all shower door installations because it’s required by building codes and much safer than regular glass. For Long Island’s humid climate, we often suggest adding a protective coating that makes cleaning easier and helps prevent water spots and soap scum buildup.
Clear glass is the most popular choice because it makes bathrooms look larger and brighter. However, if privacy is a concern or you have hard water issues, frosted or textured glass can be good alternatives. These options hide water spots better while still allowing light to pass through.
The glass thickness depends on your door style. Frameless doors require 3/8″ or 1/2″ thick glass for structural integrity, while framed doors can use thinner glass since the frame provides support. We’ll recommend the appropriate thickness based on your specific installation.
How do I maintain my new shower doors to keep them looking good?
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 from building up, which makes deep cleaning much easier.
For weekly cleaning, use a mild glass cleaner or a mixture of white vinegar and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that can scratch the glass. Pay attention to the door tracks and hinges—these areas can collect soap and mineral deposits that affect how smoothly your door operates.
If you notice your door becoming harder to open or close, or if you see water leaking where it shouldn’t, give us a call. These issues are usually easy to fix if caught early, but can become more expensive problems if left alone. We provide maintenance tips specific to your installation and are always available for questions after your installation is complete.
Can you install shower doors in older Shelter Island Heights homes?
Absolutely. Many of our installations are in older Long Island homes, and we’re experienced with the unique challenges these properties present. Older homes often have walls that aren’t perfectly square or level, which requires custom solutions and precise measurements.
We can work with most existing shower configurations, including tile surrounds, fiberglass units, and natural stone installations. The key is proper measuring and selecting the right hardware for your specific situation. Sometimes older homes require additional reinforcement or minor modifications to ensure a secure installation.
Before any installation, we’ll assess your bathroom’s structure and let you know if any prep work is needed. Most of the time, we can install directly into existing setups without major modifications. When changes are needed, we’ll explain exactly what’s required and why it’s necessary for a safe, long-lasting installation.
