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

Palos Hills has a broader mix of housing than its neighbors. Alongside the single-family streets there is a significant amount of condominium and townhome development, plus rental stock serving students and staff around the Moraine Valley campus. That variety means we are measuring a 1960s ranch bathroom one day and a third-floor condo unit the next.

Both need the same thing. We template the opening in the room and cut the glass to it, because tempered glass cannot be trimmed or adjusted once it is made.

We measure, fabricate, and install frameless, semi-frameless, and sliding glass shower doors, custom enclosures, and mirrors for homes, condominiums, and townhomes throughout Palos Hills and the surrounding southwest suburbs.

A good share of our Palos Hills work is in condominium and townhome buildings, and the first thing owners are surprised by is that we still measure every unit.

Units built from the same plan should be interchangeable. In practice, framing tolerances stack during construction, buildings settle unevenly, and an end unit rarely matches one in the middle of a row. A quarter inch of difference turns a correctly cut panel into one that binds or leaves a gap.

• Every opening templated individually, even in repeating unit layouts
• Coordination with building management on access and elevator scheduling
• Multi-unit work quoted as a package after a representative measurement

The housing here is varied, but the glass problem arrives by two routes and ends in the same place.

In the older single-family homes, decades of settling have left tub alcoves that taper from ceiling to floor. Many have had tile laid over the original tile, shifting the dimension again. Semi-frameless glass shower doors typically perform best in those, since the perimeter framing spans what a frameless panel cannot.

In condos and townhomes, the walls are usually younger and truer, but the bathrooms are tight and clearance runs short. A hinged door needs roughly its own width of open floor to swing, and in a unit bath the vanity is frequently closer than that. Sliding glass shower doors keep the panels inside the opening and remove the collision entirely.

Neither situation is unusual and neither is a problem once measured. What does not work is assuming a standard size and ordering to it.

Because sliding enclosures are so common across Palos Hills, most repair calls here come down to tracks, rollers, and seals.

The sequence repeats building to building and house to house. Hard water deposits and soap scum accumulate in the bottom track, the rollers grind through that grit, and eventually the panels drag or jump off entirely. Some are solved with a thorough cleaning and adjustment. Others need new rollers, still a small cost next to replacement. We also handle sweeps that hardened and now let water onto the floor, hinges that drifted on semi-frameless units, and single-panel glass replacement where the frame and anchoring are sound.

Two situations call for replacing instead: anchoring that has pulled out and damaged the wall behind it, and hardware from a discontinued line where parts genuinely cannot be sourced.

Custom shower doors start at $999. Glass thickness, hardware finish, and the complexity of the opening determine where a project lands. Sliding glass shower doors and semi-frameless enclosures over a standard tub alcove sit at that entry point, which covers most Palos Hills condo and single-family bathrooms. Frameless costs more because the glass is thicker and the hardware carries the full panel weight. Walk-in configurations and conversion enclosures with fixed panels cost more again. For repeat work across multiple units we can quote the scope as a package once a representative bathroom has been measured. You get one firm written number before anything is fabricated.

Call and we schedule a free on-site measurement in Palos Hills. We check the opening top to bottom, look at clearance around the tub or shower base, locate structure for anchoring, and talk through which configuration genuinely fits the room. If you are in a condo or townhome and building access needs arranging, tell us at that call and we will work around it.

Once you approve the quote, your glass goes into fabrication cut to your measurements. We call to schedule installation when it is ready. Most enclosures are set within a few hours. We remove the old door, take it away, clean up, and walk the finished shower with you before leaving. Silicone needs to cure before first use, and we give you the exact wait.
