FAQ
Questions we get every week
Lead times, glass, walls that aren't straight, and why the only way to reach us is a form.
How long does a shower door take from quote to install?
Plan on three to five weeks. Roughly a day to reply to your form, a few days to get to site for the template, then two to three weeks of fabrication before a half-day install. Shore-season weeks in late spring run at the longer end of that range.
See the full processDo you have to template on site, or can I send measurements?
We template on site. Homeowner measurements are useful for a ballpark range, but every finished quote comes off our own template — width at three heights, curb slope, and wall deviation. That is what keeps the install to one visit.
How custom measuring worksMy wall isn't plumb. Is a frameless door still possible?
Usually, yes. Deviation is normal in older shore cottages and historic borough bathrooms. Frameless glass handles it through hinge selection, a scribed wall channel, or a slightly tapered panel. What matters is that the deviation is measured before glass is cut rather than discovered on install day.
Frameless on out-of-plumb wallsWhat glass thickness do you use?
Three-eighths inch for most framed and semi-frameless work, half inch for frameless panels and anything tall or wide. All of it is tempered safety glass. We size hardware against the finished panel weight instead of a catalog default.
Glass thickness and hardware guideIs a protective coating worth it?
On the barrier islands and anywhere with hard water, yes — it makes squeegeeing effective rather than optional. It is not a substitute for wiping the glass down; nothing is.
Coatings and glass careDo you do steam showers?
Yes. Steam enclosures need a full-height panel, a transom, and a sealing strategy at the head, and they need to be planned with your steam generator's venting. Say so in the form and we will scope it properly.
Custom and steam enclosuresCan you get glass into a third-floor condo?
Often, but not always, and we check before fabricating. We measure the stairwell, elevator, and any switchback turns. If the panel you want cannot physically reach the bathroom, we tell you at template stage and design around it with a split panel instead.
Framed options for condosWhy is there no phone number on this site?
Everything runs through the quote form so the details of your opening stay written down. It means we quote from facts, and it means you are never waiting on a callback to find out what something costs.
Start the quote formWhich towns do you serve?
Monmouth and Ocean counties, and nothing further south than Forked River. Twelve towns have their own page because their housing stock genuinely changes the work; plenty of others in those two counties are covered too.
