Longwood, FL Shower Door Installation
An eye-catching shower door or enclosure can often be the difference between an ordinary and extraordinary bathroom. As many of us begin and end our days in this space, cultivating an uplifting aesthetic that enhances your mood can set the tone for the rest of your waking hours. The service professionals at Glass Doctor of Longwood are dedicated to bringing your vision to life so that you can be at your best every day.
First, we’ll conduct an initial assessment to better understand your project and walk you through the planning, design, and maintenance processes. Once we’ve determined your needs and established a budget, we’ll begin our pre-installment process of evaluating your space’s existing infrastructure, taking measurements, and accounting for ventilation.
We always insist on providing upfront fixed-rate pricing for all projects – once we offer a final quote, that’s the price that you’ll pay. No hidden fees or surprise charges. As long as your needs remain the same, so does your cost. If your game plan does change, we’re transparent about the price increase and always get approval before performing additional work.

Professional Shower Door Installation Near You
After you’ve done your part by selecting your design and customization features, it’s time for Glass Doctor of Longwood to step in. We’ll order the materials, which usually arrive within 10-15 days, and then work with you to schedule a preferred date and time to begin the installation process. Our service professionals are masters of their craft – from start to finish, the process typically takes just one day.
A fast installation doesn’t always result in a quality installation, but with Glass Doctor of Longwood, you can be assured that it does. Our team adheres to a strict protocol that has proven effective for thousands of past shower and tub projects, and we’re confident it will work for yours as well.
- To start, we prepare the area by ensuring it’s free of any debris and verify that your surrounding infrastructure is level and plumb.
- Next, we’ll install the U-channels or side tracks to slide or hold your glass panels in place.
- We’ll then place your glass, sliding them onto your tracks or securing them using brackets.
- This is followed up by applying silicone urethane to seal all joints and prevent water leakage.
- After sealing, we’ll focus on the mounting connection, where the door is attached to the adjoining structure, and door hardware such as hinges, handles, and rollers.
- Lastly, we’ll double-check our entire installation for quality assurance and provide you with aftercare instructions for best maintenance practices.
