The Installation Process

After more than 35 years focused exclusively on glass shower enclosures, we’ve learned that good planning saves time, money, and frustration. Before any remodeling begins, we recommend taking a few minutes to explore your layout options and understand what’s possible. Download our free Shower Door Design Tips booklet and feel free to reach out—we’re always happy to talk design.

We collaborate with homeowners, contractors, builders, and architects during the early stages to make sure your shower door design fits the space and timeline. Whether you’re building new or remodeling, our experienced team can spot potential issues and suggest custom solutions before they become costly mistakes.

Visit our Frederick, MD showroom to browse full-size displays and get a free quote (and maybe a cup of coffee!). If you can’t stop by, use our online quote request form. Just provide rough measurements and your hardware finish of choice. After we perform an in-home measurement, we’ll give you a firm quote with no surprises.

To do our best work, Shower Door Experts requires that all areas adjacent to the shower enclosure be tiled before we take a final field measurement. Once the tile work is complete, our installation technicians will perform a detailed site evaluation. We use accurate measuring tools, including laser levels and measure-fix devices, to create the final shop drawing. The final result is only as perfect as the accuracy of the measurement. It’s how we create a perfect fit for your custom shower project.

Once our experts have taken a precise field measurement, we’ll provide a firm price in the form of a sales agreement. This document is for our respective records and includes information on the shower enclosure, estimated lead time, pricing details, and terms of sale. We’ll specify a deposit amount, which we must receive to begin production. And now it’s time to make a shower door!

Shower Door Experts faxes the final shop drawing to our manufacturer and signs off on the final details to ensure accuracy. We then receive a confirmation of your order. For highly customized showers, we must also occasionally source various parts from additional vendors during the production phase. But soon…

Once the glass panels and metal components of the enclosure have been manufactured to our specifications, they are carefully packed and shipped to our warehouse in Maryland. Upon their arrival, our dispatcher contacts the project manager or homeowner to schedule the installation.
When our staff arrives at the job site, you’ll really get to see us shine. They will install your beautiful new shower door with courtesy and precision. Every detail is important. After they install the glass components, our installation experts will seal the enclosure and clean the area thoroughly. Then it’s time to recheck everything to make sure you are 100% happy. We love it when you’re happy!

One last thing: a high-quality, professionally-installed shower door can be a thing of beauty for many years to come. We always leave you with information about recommended maintenance procedures. And Shower Door Experts provides a one year warranty on all products and labor.
