Long Island Shower Door Specialists
Two Decades of Getting It Right
We’ve been serving Sound Beach and Long Island families since the late 1990s. We’re the local company that contractors call when they need complex installations done correctly the first time.
Our team handles everything from straightforward replacements to custom solutions for awkward spaces that other companies won’t touch. We’ve worked with the Long Island Builders Institute and completed projects for high-profile clients, but our focus remains on making sure every Sound Beach homeowner gets the same level of precision and care.
Sound Beach homes, many built in the 1950s, often need creative solutions for bathroom updates. We’ve solved installation challenges in hundreds of these properties and understand exactly what works in older Long Island construction.

Glass Shower Door Options Sound Beach
Every Style Your Space Needs
Frameless doors create the cleanest, most spacious look and work especially well in Sound Beach’s traditional home layouts. Semi-frameless options offer similar aesthetics with added structural support for larger openings.
Sliding doors maximize space in tighter bathrooms, while hinged doors provide full access for cleaning and maintenance. We also install fixed panels, steam enclosures, and custom configurations for unique layouts.
Sound Beach homeowners often choose clear tempered glass for maximum light transmission, though we offer frosted, textured, and low-iron options. Hardware finishes include brushed nickel, chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black to match your existing fixtures.
All glass meets safety standards and includes our standard warranty. Installation includes proper sealing, hardware adjustment, and a final inspection to ensure everything operates smoothly.
How long does shower door installation take in Sound Beach?
Most shower door installations in Sound Beach homes take 2-4 hours from start to finish. The timeline depends on your specific configuration—a simple single door might take 2 hours, while a complex three-panel enclosure could take up to 4 hours.
We schedule installations with buffer time so you’re never rushed, and we complete the work in a single visit. Our installers arrive with all necessary tools and materials, protect your bathroom surfaces, and clean up completely before leaving.
You can use your new shower the same day, though we recommend waiting 24 hours before heavy use to allow all sealants to fully cure.
What's the difference between frameless and framed shower doors?
Frameless doors use thicker tempered glass (typically 3/8″ or 1/2″) with minimal hardware for a clean, modern appearance. They’re easier to clean because there are fewer surfaces where soap scum can build up, and they make bathrooms feel more spacious.
Framed doors have metal frames around the glass perimeter, which provides additional structural support and typically costs less. The frames can collect soap residue over time and may require more maintenance.
In Sound Beach’s older homes, we often recommend frameless designs because they brighten smaller bathrooms and complement both traditional and updated décor. The investment difference is usually recovered through increased home value and easier maintenance.
Do you handle shower door repairs and replacements?
Yes, we repair and replace shower doors regardless of who originally installed them. Common issues we address include leaking seals, misaligned doors, broken hardware, and cracked or shattered glass.
For repairs, we typically can fix seal problems, adjust hardware, and replace individual glass panels without replacing the entire system. This saves money and minimizes disruption to your bathroom.
When replacement makes more sense—usually for doors over 15 years old or with multiple issues—we can often reuse existing plumbing connections and minimize tile work. We’ll assess your situation honestly and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
How much do custom glass shower doors cost in Sound Beach?
Glass shower door costs in Sound Beach typically range from $800 to $1,200 for standard installations, with custom configurations running higher. The final price depends on glass thickness, hardware quality, door style, and installation complexity.
Frameless doors cost more upfront than framed options but often provide better long-term value through easier maintenance and increased home value. We provide detailed written estimates that include all materials, labor, and cleanup.
Most Sound Beach homeowners find the investment worthwhile because quality shower doors last 15-20 years with proper care, and the improved functionality and appearance benefit them daily. We also offer financing options for larger projects.
What type of glass is safest for shower doors?
All our shower doors use tempered safety glass, which is heated and cooled in a controlled process that makes it 4-5 times stronger than regular glass. If it does break, it crumbles into small, relatively harmless pieces rather than sharp shards.
We typically recommend 3/8″ thickness for most residential applications, with 1/2″ glass for larger panels or high-use situations. Both thicknesses meet all safety codes and provide excellent durability.
The tempering process also makes the glass more resistant to thermal shock, which is important in shower environments where temperature changes are common. This reduces the risk of stress cracks and extends the life of your installation.
How do I maintain my new glass shower doors?
Daily maintenance is simple: squeegee or towel-dry the glass after each use to prevent water spots and soap buildup. This takes 30 seconds and keeps your doors looking new.
Weekly cleaning with a standard glass cleaner or mild soap solution handles any buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that can scratch the glass or damage hardware finishes.
For long-term care, we recommend having seals inspected annually and re-caulked every 3-5 years depending on usage. Proper maintenance keeps your shower doors functioning smoothly for 15-20 years, and we’re always available for service calls if issues arise.
