Professional Installation
Shower Door Installation NYC
From measurement to final polish — we handle every step of your shower door installation in-house. No subcontractors, no shortcuts.
We install every type of shower door.
Installation Process
What to expect on install day.
Arrival & Prep
Our team arrives at the scheduled time with all glass panels, hardware, and tools. We lay down protective coverings on your floors and fixtures before starting.
Old Door Removal
If you have an existing door or enclosure, we remove it carefully — including old hardware, silicone, and adhesive residue. We prep the surfaces for the new install.
Hardware Mounting
We mount hinges, U-channels, wall clamps, and any support brackets using proper anchoring. Every fastener is placed with precision, especially on tile walls.
Glass Installation
Panels are lifted into position, connected to hardware, and aligned. We check level and plumb at every step — critical in NYC buildings where walls are rarely perfectly straight.
Sealing & Finishing
All glass-to-wall and glass-to-tile joints are sealed with clear, mold-resistant silicone. Handles, towel bars, and sweeps are installed. We test the door operation and adjust as needed.
Cleanup & Walkthrough
We clean up all debris, wipe down the glass, and walk you through care instructions. Your bathroom is left spotless and the shower is usable the same day.
Why NYC shower door installation is different.
Installing shower glass in a New York City apartment comes with challenges that suburban installers never deal with. Here's what we navigate every day.
Small, Irregular Bathrooms
NYC bathrooms are famously compact and often have walls that aren't plumb. Every panel must be custom-measured to fit precisely.
Building Access Logistics
Freight elevators, lobby check-ins, COI requirements, superintendent coordination — we handle all of it.
Noise & Hour Restrictions
Most buildings limit construction to weekdays between 8am–5pm. We schedule accordingly and communicate proactively.
Pre-War Plumbing Realities
Older buildings often have uneven tile, non-standard shower bases, and walls that require special anchoring solutions.
Installation FAQs.
What types of shower doors can you install?+
We install frameless, semi-frameless, and framed shower doors in all configurations — single swing, sliding bypass, pivot, neo-angle, 90° corner, and walk-in panels. We also install bathtub enclosures and shower-over-tub combos.
How do you handle installations in NYC apartments?+
We coordinate with your building management, provide Certificates of Insurance (COI), reserve freight elevators, and work within building quiet hours. We've installed in 200+ NYC buildings and know the drill.
Do I need to remove my old shower door first?+
No — we handle removal of your existing door or enclosure as part of the installation. We carefully remove old glass, hardware, and any remaining silicone or adhesive, and prep the walls and tile before the new install.
How long does installation take?+
Most installations take 2–4 hours. We arrive with everything pre-fabricated and ready to install — no cutting glass on-site. Your shower is usable the same day, though we recommend waiting 24 hours for silicone to fully cure.
