Shower Doors & Enclosures
How do I get a free estimate for a new shower door?
Use our interactive Shower Door Builder tool on our website to explore options for your project and submit an estimate request at the end. A sales representative will contact you to discuss a rough estimate. For a precise final proposal, we schedule an in-home measure appointment to gather exact dimensions and your product preferences — and you'll receive your final proposal within one business day of that appointment.
I don't know what type of shower door I want. Can you help?
Absolutely. Our Shower Door Builder tool is a great starting point. It walks you through the types of shower doors that work best for different shower layouts and construction types. Once you've explored your options, our sales team can meet with you in person or at our showroom to guide you through glass types, hardware finishes, and door configurations that fit your taste and budget.
How long does a shower door project take from start to installation?
A typical shower door project takes between 12 and 20 business days from your initial consultation to installation, depending on the scope, glass type, and hardware selections. Our team keeps you informed throughout the process so there are no surprises.
What warranty comes with a shower door installation?
All shower door installations include a limited 1-year warranty covering hardware, glass, and installation workmanship. Many of our products carry additional extended warranties from the manufacturer, which we provide documentation for at the time of installation.
Do you offer frameless shower doors?
Yes. Frameless shower doors are one of our most popular products. We custom-fabricate frameless enclosures using thick tempered glass (3/8" or 1/2") and a wide range of hardware finishes. Visit our showroom to see examples in person.
Custom Mirrors & Glass
Can you cut mirrors to custom sizes?
Yes. Custom-cut mirrors are one of our core services. We fabricate mirrors of any size, shape, and edge treatment you need for bathrooms, bedrooms, home gyms, commercial spaces, and specialty applications. Every mirror is precision-cut to your exact specifications.
Do you install gym and fitness room mirrors?
We do. We custom-cut and install large-format mirror walls for home gyms, fitness studios, yoga rooms, and dance spaces throughout the Twin Cities. These installations require precise mounting and professional handling; our experienced team ensures a flawless, safe result every time.
Window Glass Replacement
Can you replace just the glass in my window without replacing the whole frame?
In many cases, yes. If your window frame and sash are in good condition, replacing only the glass, or, in the case of a double-pane unit, only the insulated glass unit, is a cost-effective alternative to full window replacement. We assess each window during our free consultation and provide our honest recommendation.
My double-pane window has fog between the panes. Do I need a new window?
Foggy double-pane windows indicate a failed seal on the insulated glass unit (IGU). In most cases, we can replace the glass unit inside your existing frame, restoring clarity and energy performance without the expense of a full window replacement.
