We fabricate and install custom glass and shower doors in Downers Grove. Frameless, semi-frameless, and sliding enclosures, plus glass panels and cut-to-size mirrors. Glass is the only trade we work in.

Downers Grove has an unusually wide range of housing for one village. There are Victorian-era homes in the historic district near downtown, ranch and colonial construction filling the neighborhoods around them, and newer builds toward the edges of the village. The bathrooms in each are nothing alike, and a stock shower door built for a perfect opening rarely suits any of them.

We measure your opening on-site, then cut the glass to match it.

We measure, fabricate, and install frameless, semi-frameless, and sliding glass shower doors, custom enclosures, and mirrors for homes throughout Downers Grove and the surrounding western suburbs.

Downers Grove has one of the larger collections of nineteenth-century housing in DuPage County, much of it clustered near the downtown district. Those homes are beautiful and they are difficult to put glass into.

Bathrooms in them were frequently carved out of existing space long after the house was built, which produces openings that are narrow, oddly proportioned, or tucked under a stair. Add a century of settling and the walls are rarely plumb. We template those openings as they exist and often recommend semi-frameless, since the framing spans variance that a frameless panel cannot.

Measuring bathrooms across Downers Grove means running into three distinct situations.

In the historic areas near downtown, the challenge is age. Openings have moved, tile has been layered over tile, and nothing is square. Semi-frameless shower doors usually perform best there because the perimeter framing holds a seal that a frameless panel would struggle with.

In the mid-century ranches and colonials that make up much of the village, the standard sixty-inch tub alcove dominates. Those take sliding glass shower doors or a semi-frameless hinged door, and they are among the most common jobs we do here.

In newer construction toward the village edges, the master baths are larger and the layouts more ambitious. Corner units, benches cutting into the panel line, walk-in showers with fixed frameless panels. Those need custom fabrication for design reasons rather than settling.

A good share of our Downers Grove work is repair rather than replacement, and we will tell you honestly which one your enclosure needs.

The frequent calls: sliding glass shower doors that drag because the rollers wore through, frameless panels that dropped out of square when a hinge drifted, sweeps that hardened and now let water onto the tile, handles that pulled loose from the mount. Each of those costs a small fraction of a new enclosure.

Replacement becomes the right answer when the hardware line has been discontinued and parts cannot be sourced, or when the anchoring has pulled out and damaged the wall behind it. Patching either situation buys a few months. You should hear that before you pay for it, not after.

Custom shower doors start at $999. What moves that number is glass thickness, hardware finish, and the complexity of the opening. Sliding glass shower doors and semi-frameless enclosures over a standard tub alcove sit at the entry point, and that covers a large share of Downers Grove hall baths. Frameless costs more because the glass is thicker and the hardware carries more weight. Neo-angle corners, steam enclosures, and custom panel shapes for sloped ceilings cost more again. You get one firm written number after the on-site measurement, and it holds through installation.

Call us and we schedule a free on-site measurement at your Downers Grove home. We check the opening, look at how true the walls run, locate structure for anchoring, and talk through whether frameless, semi-frameless, or sliding glass shower doors suit the room. If the less expensive option is the better fit, that is what we will recommend.

After you approve the quote, your glass goes into fabrication cut to your template. We call to schedule installation once it is ready. Most standard enclosures are set within a few hours. We remove the old shower door, haul it away, clean up, and walk the finished enclosure with you before leaving.
