Valley Stream Glass Door Specialists
Two Decades of Getting It Right
We’ve been serving Valley Stream and Long Island families for over 20 years from the same location. We’re not some fly-by-night operation – we’re the local company your neighbors have trusted for custom glass installations since before frameless doors became the standard.
We’ve completed over 10,000 installations across Long Island, and we’re still here because we do the work right the first time. When other companies were cutting corners or disappearing during tough times, we were adapting and growing, even installing safety glass partitions during the pandemic to keep local businesses operating safely.
Valley Stream homeowners understand that Long Island’s weather conditions can be particularly tough on homes, especially bathroom installations. Humidity, temperature changes, and settling foundations require installers who know how to account for local conditions. We’ve been handling these challenges for decades, ensuring your investment performs properly year after year.
Professional Shower Door Installation Process
Here's Exactly How We Handle Your Project
First, we visit your Valley Stream home and measure your shower space with laser precision – accurate to within a sixteenth of an inch. This isn’t a quick eyeball estimate. We check for plumb walls, proper drainage slopes, and any structural quirks your bathroom might have that could cause problems during or after installation.
Next, we walk you through your options based on your actual space and how you use your shower. Frameless, semi-frameless, hinged, sliding – we recommend what makes sense for your situation, not what makes us the most money. We show you samples, explain the differences, and provide a detailed written estimate with no hidden fees.
Manufacturing takes about one week since everything is custom-made to your exact measurements. Installation is typically scheduled within two weeks of your initial call. On installation day, we protect your floors and surfaces, install your new shower doors, test everything thoroughly, and clean up completely. You get detailed documentation of all work performed and warranty information, because that’s how professional installations should be handled.

What's Actually Included With Professional Installation
Every installation includes precision laser measurement, custom-manufactured tempered safety glass, commercial-grade hardware that won’t fail in two years, professional installation by experienced technicians, and comprehensive warranty coverage on both materials and workmanship. We’re not just selling glass panels – we’re solving the problems that make shower doors frustrating and unreliable.
In Valley Stream’s older homes, we regularly work with bathrooms where walls aren’t perfectly square and floors have settled over time. We know how to work with these conditions and still deliver results that look like they were always meant to be there. Whether you’re dealing with a compact bathroom where every inch of space matters or a master suite where you want something that looks expensive, we’ve handled similar projects throughout the area.
We also manage the details that other companies often overlook – proper sealing to prevent water damage, hardware finishes that complement your existing fixtures, and installation techniques that won’t damage your new tile work or bathroom surfaces. Because quality glass deserves quality installation, and cutting corners on either one defeats the purpose of the investment.
How long does shower door installation take in Valley Stream?
Most shower door installations are completed in a single day, typically requiring 2-4 hours depending on your specific configuration and any unique aspects of your bathroom layout. The timeline from initial consultation to completed installation is usually about two weeks.
Here’s how it breaks down: We schedule your initial measurement appointment within a few days of your call. Manufacturing your custom doors takes approximately one week since everything is made to your exact specifications. Installation is then scheduled at your convenience, and we complete the work in one visit.
On installation day, we arrive with everything pre-cut and ready to install, protect your bathroom surfaces, complete the installation, test all door operations and seals, and clean up thoroughly. You can typically use your shower the same evening we install it, though we recommend waiting 24 hours for all seals and caulking to fully cure for optimal performance.
What's the real difference between frameless and framed shower doors?
Frameless shower doors use thicker tempered glass (typically 1/2 inch) with minimal hardware, creating that clean, modern aesthetic while being easier to maintain long-term. Framed doors feature metal frames around the glass panels, providing additional structural support and typically costing less initially.
For Valley Stream bathrooms, frameless designs work particularly well because they make smaller spaces feel more open and don’t collect soap scum and mineral deposits the way framed doors can. The thicker glass is also more durable and safer if breakage ever occurs. However, framed doors can be the better choice if you’re working within a specific budget or have structural requirements that benefit from the additional frame support.
The decision usually comes down to your bathroom’s current style, your budget parameters, and your maintenance preferences. We’ll show you both options in our showroom, explain the practical differences for your specific situation, and provide honest recommendations based on what will work best for your needs rather than what generates the highest profit margin.
How can I be sure my new shower doors won't leak?
Leak prevention starts with proper installation technique and quality materials. We ensure your shower curb has the correct inward slope (1/8 to 1/4 inch pitch toward the drain), install high-grade seals at all connection points, and verify that door alignment is perfect before considering any job complete.
Most shower door leaks result from three common problems: incorrect measurements leading to gaps, poor installation technique, or cheap sealing materials that deteriorate quickly. We address all three by using laser measurement tools, following proven installation procedures developed over 20 years of experience, and using only commercial-grade seals and caulking materials.
Before we leave your home, we test door operation, check all seal points, and verify that water containment is working properly. Our warranty covers both materials and installation workmanship, so if any leak issues develop that are related to our work, we return to fix them at no charge. That level of accountability isn’t standard in this industry, but it should be.
Can you install shower doors in older Valley Stream homes?
Absolutely, and that’s actually where our experience shows the most. Many Valley Stream homes were built decades ago when construction standards were different, and we regularly work with walls that aren’t perfectly plumb, floors that have settled, and bathroom layouts that present unique challenges.
We can accommodate out-of-plumb conditions up to 3/8 inch variance, and we have proven solutions for even more challenging situations. Sometimes this involves adjusting roller assemblies to compensate for uneven walls, sometimes it means recommending door configurations that work better with your space’s specific limitations, and sometimes it requires minor modifications to achieve proper fit and function.
The key is honest assessment during the initial measurement phase. We’ll identify any potential issues, explain your options clearly, and provide realistic expectations for what can be achieved in your specific situation. We’re not going to take your money and then discover “problems” that should have been obvious from the beginning. After 20 years in business, our reputation depends on delivering what we promise.
What happens if the custom shower door doesn't fit properly?
That situation doesn’t occur when we handle the measuring and manufacturing process. We use precision laser measuring equipment and double-check all dimensions because custom glass cannot be returned or easily modified once manufactured. Our measurement protocol accounts for wall irregularities, required clearances, and proper door operation.
In the extremely unlikely event of a measurement error on our part, we would manufacture replacement glass at no cost to you. This is covered under our comprehensive warranty and is part of our commitment to getting every job right. Over 20 years and 10,000+ installations, our measurement accuracy has been consistently reliable because we’ve developed systematic procedures that eliminate human error.
Before manufacturing begins, we review all measurements internally and discuss any potential concerns with you during the planning phase. If we identify anything that could cause installation problems, we address it before production starts, not after we arrive at your home with glass that doesn’t work properly. This upfront diligence is why our installations go smoothly and why customers recommend us to their neighbors.
What should I expect to pay for custom glass shower doors?
Professional shower door installation in Valley Stream typically ranges from $600 to $1,900, depending on door size, glass type, hardware selections, and installation complexity. Custom frameless designs generally cost more than standard framed options, but they also provide greater long-term value and home resale benefits.
We provide detailed written estimates that itemize exactly what’s included – measurement, custom manufacturing, professional installation, cleanup, and warranty coverage. No surprise charges, no hidden fees, no pressure tactics. If your project requires modifications or additional work, we discuss those requirements and associated costs during the planning phase, not after work has begun.
For most Valley Stream homeowners, investing in quality shower doors makes financial sense because properly installed doors last for decades, eliminate ongoing maintenance problems, and add measurable value to your home. We work with you to find options that meet your budget requirements without compromising on the quality and reliability that make the investment worthwhile. Cheap installations often become expensive problems, which is why we focus on doing the job right the first time.
