Shower Door Installation North Hempstead
Long Island Glass Experts Since 2009
We’ve been transforming bathrooms across Long Island for over 15 years. We’re the family-owned company that North Hempstead homeowners call when they want the job done right the first time.
We know North Hempstead’s housing stock. Many homes here were built in the 1950s and 60s, and those original bathrooms weren’t designed for today’s needs. We’ve converted hundreds of tubs in neighborhoods from Great Neck to Port Washington, and we understand exactly what works in these homes.
Our team brings decades of glass installation experience to every job. We’re not general contractors trying to figure out shower doors. This is what we do, every day, and our customers notice the difference.
Bathroom Tub to Shower Conversion Process
Simple Process, Professional Results Every Time
First, we measure your existing tub space and discuss what you want from your new shower. We’ll show you options for glass styles, hardware finishes, and safety features that make sense for your situation.
Next, we remove your old tub and prepare the space. This includes updating plumbing connections, waterproofing the area properly, and making sure everything is level and secure. We protect your floors and clean up as we go.
Finally, we install your new shower base, walls, and glass door system. Everything is custom-fit to your space, sealed professionally, and tested before we leave. You’ll have a fully functional shower the same day, with no mess left behind and no follow-up appointments needed.

Walk-in Shower Conversion North Hempstead
What You Get With Every Conversion
Every tub to shower conversion includes professional removal of your existing bathtub, proper waterproofing, and installation of a low-threshold or curbless shower base. You get custom-cut glass doors or panels, quality hardware in your choice of finishes, and built-in safety features.
In North Hempstead, we often work with homeowners who need better accessibility as they age in place. The mature population here values safety and independence, which is why we include grab bars, non-slip surfaces, and easy-reach controls in every installation.
We also handle all the details that matter to Long Island homeowners: proper permits when needed, coordination with other contractors if you’re doing additional work, and cleanup that leaves your home exactly as we found it. Your neighbors won’t even know we were there, except for your beautiful new shower.
How long does a tub to shower conversion take in North Hempstead?
Most conversions are completed in one day, typically 6-8 hours from start to finish. We arrive in the morning, remove your old tub, prep the space, and install your new shower system the same day.
The timeline can vary slightly depending on your specific situation. If we need to update plumbing or electrical work, it might take an additional half day. But you’ll never be without a functioning bathroom for more than 24 hours, and most customers are using their new shower that same evening.
We schedule carefully and bring everything we need, so there are no delays waiting for materials or making multiple trips. When we commit to a completion date, you can count on it.
What's the cost difference between conversion and full bathroom remodel?
A professional tub to shower conversion typically costs 60-70% less than a full bathroom renovation. While complete bathroom remodels in North Hempstead can run $15,000-$30,000, conversions usually range from $3,000-$8,000 depending on the features you choose.
You save money because we’re working with your existing plumbing location and bathroom footprint. There’s no need to move pipes, rewire electrical, or tear out flooring and walls. We focus on the tub area only, which dramatically reduces both cost and disruption.
The return on investment is excellent too. You get most of the visual impact and functionality improvement of a full remodel, but at a fraction of the cost and time commitment.
Can you make the shower accessible for aging in place?
Absolutely. This is one of our most common requests in North Hempstead, where many homeowners are planning to stay in their homes long-term. We specialize in creating showers that are both beautiful and accessible.
We can install zero-threshold entries, built-in seating, multiple grab bars positioned exactly where you need them, and hand-held shower heads with easy-reach controls. The shower base can be designed with gentle slopes instead of a high curb, making entry and exit much safer.
All accessibility features are integrated into the design from the beginning, so they look intentional and attractive, not like medical equipment added as an afterthought. Many of our customers say their accessible shower looks better than their old standard tub.
Do you handle permits and inspections for shower conversions?
Yes, we take care of all permit requirements when they’re needed. In North Hempstead, most tub to shower conversions don’t require permits since we’re not moving plumbing or changing the bathroom’s footprint, but there are exceptions.
If your conversion involves moving water lines, electrical work, or structural changes, we’ll pull the necessary permits and schedule inspections. We know the local requirements and have good relationships with North Hempstead’s building department.
We’ll tell you upfront if permits are needed for your specific project and include any permit costs in your estimate. You don’t have to worry about navigating the bureaucracy or making sure everything meets code – that’s our job.
What type of glass and hardware options are available?
We offer a full range of glass options, from clear to frosted to textured, in various thicknesses. You can choose framed or frameless designs, and we have hardware in brushed nickel, chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, and matte black finishes.
For North Hempstead homes, we often recommend frosted or textured glass for privacy, especially in homes with close neighbors. Frameless glass creates a more open, modern look, while framed options can complement traditional home styles common in the area.
We bring samples to your home so you can see how different options look with your existing fixtures and lighting. Every installation is custom-measured and built, so you get exactly what works best for your space and style preferences.
What warranty do you provide on tub to shower conversions?
We provide a comprehensive warranty that covers both materials and workmanship. Glass components are warranted against defects, and our installation work is guaranteed for proper function and water-tightness.
If you have any issues with your conversion – whether it’s a hardware adjustment, seal replacement, or glass cleaning question – we’ll take care of it promptly. We stand behind our work because we plan to be serving North Hempstead homeowners for many years to come.
We also provide detailed care instructions and are always available to answer questions about maintaining your new shower. Most customers never need warranty service, but it’s reassuring to know we’re here if you need us.
