Services › Frameless Shower Door Installation
Send us a photo of your opening and get a written price, usually the same day.
A frameless door is the least forgiving thing you can put in a bathroom. There is no metal channel to hide a wall that is out of plumb or a curb that runs downhill. We measure every opening in person, check the studs behind the tile, and cut the glass to the wall we actually found, not the one on the drawing.
Most San Diego homes we work in were built between 1965 and 2005, and plenty of those showers have a back wall that leans a quarter inch over four feet. We shim the hinges and set the strike jamb so the door closes with one finger and the gap stays even top to bottom. That is the difference between a frameless install that still looks right in ten years and one that starts swinging open on its own.
Three decisions drive the look and the price. We walk through all of them before anything is ordered.
3/8 inch for most fixed panels, 1/2 inch for doors and anything wider than 30 inches. We recommend an EnduroShield-style coating on every install, because San Diego water is hard enough to etch uncoated glass inside two years.
Chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, oil-rubbed bronze, and brass. We stock the common finishes; brass and specialty powder coats add a week to lead time.
Wall-mount or glass-mount hinges, inline or neo-angle panels, and a swing direction that clears your towel bar, vanity drawer, and shower head. We mark it on the wall in tape so you can stand in the shower and check it.
| Configuration | Typical Range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single frameless door + fixed panel | $1,450 - $2,600 | 3/8 inch glass, most common layout |
| Neo-angle (three panels) | $2,400 - $3,900 | Corner showers in condos and townhomes |
| Double door, large opening | $3,200 - $5,400 | 1/2 inch glass, two doors meeting |
| Coating and upgraded hardware | +$180 - $450 | Recommended on every install |
Ranges are for standard-height openings up to 84 inches. Steam units, curved glass, and openings over 96 inches are quoted individually.
We template, cut, and hang the glass ourselves. No subcontracted crew, no finger-pointing when a hinge line is off by an eighth of an inch.
You get the panel sizes, glass thickness, hardware finish, and total price in writing. Nothing on the invoice that was not in the quote.
Coastal humidity, hard water, and older tract-home framing all change what we specify. We pick glass and coatings that survive here.
Drop cloths down, old glass out in one piece, silicone lines wiped, and the debris leaves with us.
Text us pictures of the opening with a tape measure against it. We can usually quote from photos, and confirm on site before ordering glass.
We measure at the studs, write the sizes down, and order glass cut to those numbers. Lead time is typically 7 to 12 business days.
Old doors and frames come out, the curb gets checked, and any soft backer or loose tile is flagged before new hardware goes on.
Panels go up, doors get adjusted so they close on their own weight, and the silicone gets tooled clean. We show you the care routine before we leave.
Curved, angled, half-wall, and full-height glass built to the opening you actually have.
Bypass and sliding glass doors that roll clean, seal at the jamb, and stop leaving a puddle.
Sealed, full-height glass enclosures for steam generators, with a transom that vents when you want it to.
Photos and rough measurements are enough for a firm price.
