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

Palos Heights has a distinctive housing pattern for the southwest suburbs. Lots here are generally larger than in the neighboring villages, with a lot of mid-century construction on wooded parcels near the forest preserves, and many of those homes have been renovated at least once since they were built.

That renovation history matters. A bathroom remodeled in the 1990s has different bones than one untouched since 1965, and the shower opening reflects whichever it is. We measure yours before anything gets cut.

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

Tub-to-shower conversions come up often in Palos Heights, usually in homes where the owners have been there a long time and no longer want to step over a tub wall.

Our part is the glass. Once your contractor has the base set, the walls tiled, and the plumbing finished, we template the opening and fabricate the enclosure to it. What that enclosure looks like depends on the conversion. A curbless walk-in may need only a single fixed panel. A curbed shower usually takes a panel and a door.

Two versions of the same house show up on our schedule here, and they get different recommendations.

The first is a mid-century home with the original bathroom largely intact. The tub alcove was framed sixty years ago, the walls have settled, and there is often tile laid over the original tile, which changes the opening dimension. Semi-frameless or sliding glass shower doors usually perform best there, because the perimeter framing spans variance that a frameless panel cannot.

The second is the same house after a full bath renovation. New framing, new substrate, walls that run true. Frameless is entirely viable then, and it is frequently what people want after investing in the tile behind it. There is no sense putting metal framing across a feature wall somebody just paid for.

Which situation you are in determines the honest recommendation, and we will tell you at the measurement rather than defaulting to the more expensive enclosure.

A good portion of our Palos Heights calls are repairs, often on enclosures installed during renovations done fifteen or twenty years ago.

The usual list: rollers worn through on sliding units, hinges that drifted and dropped a frameless panel out of square, sweeps that hardened and now let water onto the tile, handles pulling loose at the mount. Each of those costs a small fraction of a new enclosure and most are handled in a single visit.

Where we tell people to stop is when the anchoring has pulled out of the wall and damaged the substrate behind it, or when the hardware line has been discontinued and parts cannot be sourced. Fabricating a workaround for unobtainable hardware buys a few months at best. You should hear that before spending anything, not after.

Custom shower doors start at $999. Glass thickness, hardware finish, and the complexity of the opening set the final number. Sliding glass shower doors and semi-frameless enclosures over a standard tub alcove sit at that entry point, which describes many secondary baths here. Frameless costs more because the glass is thicker and the hardware carries the panel weight. Tub-to-shower conversion enclosures and walk-in configurations cost more again, since they involve more glass and more precise fabrication. You get one firm written number after the on-site measurement, and it holds through installation.

Call and we schedule a free on-site measurement at your Palos Heights 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 your bath is original and the walls have moved, we will say so and recommend accordingly.

Once you approve the quote, your glass goes into fabrication cut to your template. We call to schedule installation when 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.
