Custom Glass Shower Doors Cold Spring Harbor
What You Get With Every Conversion
Every tub to shower conversion includes a custom-fitted acrylic shower base designed for your exact space. The walls are made from durable, non-porous materials that resist mold, mildew, and staining without the maintenance headaches of traditional tile and grout.
Your glass shower doors are custom-measured and professionally installed with proper sealing. Choose from frameless designs for a modern look or framed options for added durability. We include safety features like grab bars and slip-resistant surfaces as standard, not expensive add-ons.
In Cold Spring Harbor’s older homes, we often work with unique plumbing configurations and space constraints. Our experience with local building codes and vintage home challenges means we can handle complications that might surprise other contractors. You get a conversion that works with your home’s existing systems, not against them.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take from start to finish?
Most conversions are completed within two weeks from your initial consultation, with the actual installation work taking 1-2 days. The timeline includes ordering your custom glass components and scheduling around your availability.
We measure your space first, then order materials cut specifically for your bathroom. While we’re waiting for your custom pieces, we handle any prep work needed. The demolition and installation happen quickly because everything is pre-planned and pre-measured.
You’re not dealing with weeks of construction chaos. Most customers are using their new shower within 48 hours of when we start the installation work.
Will converting my tub to a shower affect my home's resale value?
In Cold Spring Harbor’s market, modern walk-in showers typically add more value than outdated bathtubs, especially in homes where other bathrooms already have tubs. Most buyers today prioritize functionality and accessibility over soaking tubs they’ll rarely use.
The key is doing the conversion professionally with quality materials. A well-executed shower conversion with custom glass doors and modern fixtures appeals to buyers who want move-in ready homes. It shows the bathroom has been updated without the expense of a full renovation.
Given that most homes in Cold Spring Harbor were built in the 1950s and 60s, buyers expect some updates. A professionally converted shower signals that the home has been maintained and modernized thoughtfully.
What happens if my bathroom has unusual plumbing or space constraints?
We’ve worked in Cold Spring Harbor homes for decades, so unusual plumbing configurations don’t surprise us. Many of these vintage homes have quirky layouts, angled walls, or plumbing that’s been modified over the years.
Our process starts with detailed measurements and assessment of your existing plumbing. We design the conversion to work with what you have, rather than requiring expensive plumbing relocations. Custom glass allows us to accommodate irregular spaces that standard shower kits can’t handle.
If we discover issues during the initial assessment, we discuss options upfront. No surprises, no change orders after we’ve started. Our experience with older Long Island homes means we can usually find solutions that work within your budget and timeline.
Are the materials really maintenance-free, or is that just marketing?
The acrylic materials we use won’t chip, crack, fade, or support mold growth like traditional tile and grout. You clean them with regular household cleaners – no special products, no scrubbing grout lines, no resealing required.
That doesn’t mean zero maintenance, but it means simple maintenance. Wipe down the walls after showering, clean the glass doors like any other glass surface, and that’s about it. No more weekend projects trying to restore dingy grout or dealing with caulk that needs constant replacement.
The materials are engineered for bathrooms, not repurposed from other applications. They’re designed to handle daily use, humidity, and cleaning products without degrading. After 30 years in this business, we’ve seen what holds up and what doesn’t.
Can you add safety features during the conversion process?
Safety features are built into every conversion we do, not added as expensive upgrades. Grab bars, slip-resistant surfaces, and low-threshold entry are standard components of our installations.
We position grab bars based on your specific needs and the layout of your shower. The slip-resistant flooring isn’t just textured – it’s engineered to provide traction when wet without being uncomfortable underfoot. The low threshold entry eliminates the high step-over that makes traditional tubs dangerous.
For families planning ahead for aging in place, we can incorporate additional features like built-in seating, handheld shower heads, and wider door openings. These modifications are much easier to include during the initial conversion than to add later.
How do you handle the mess and disruption during installation?
We contain the work area with plastic sheeting and use dust barriers to protect the rest of your home. All debris goes directly into containers, not through your living spaces. We clean up completely each day before leaving.
The actual demolition and installation work happens quickly because we pre-plan everything. Your bathroom is out of commission for the shortest time possible – usually just 1-2 days for the actual construction work.
We schedule around your routine when possible. Many customers prefer we work while they’re at the office, so they come home to progress instead of dealing with noise and activity. We coordinate with you to minimize disruption to your daily schedule.
