Shower Door & Custom Glass Installation in Redmond, WA

Most custom frameless shower doors in the Redmond area run $1,000–$2,500 installed, with simpler inline panels at the lower end and full enclosures with return panels, custom notches, or 1/2" glass at the higher end. More complex projects — steam enclosures, curved glass, or unusually large openings — can run $3,000–$5,000+. We provide a free written quote after a field measurement, so the price you see is the price you pay.

Use the Washington Department of Labor & Industries "Verify a Contractor, Tradesperson or Business" tool. You can search by business name or license number. The tool shows whether the registration is active, whether the bond is current, and whether there are any open lawsuits or safety violations. We recommend doing this for any contractor you hire — including us.

Framed doors are the most affordable and watertight, but the visible aluminum frame dates a bathroom. Semi-frameless splits the difference — a frame around the perimeter of the fixed panel only. Frameless uses thick tempered glass with minimal hardware and is what most Redmond customers choose for new builds and remodels because it shows the tile work and reads as a higher-end finish.

Standard clear glass has a slight green tint that becomes more visible at thicker sizes and on larger panels. Low-iron glass (sometimes sold as Starphire or Ultra-Clear) removes the iron content responsible for the tint, so the glass reads truly clear. It's a common upgrade on high-end bathrooms with white or light-colored tile, where the green tint of standard glass is most noticeable. Expect roughly a 15–25% upcharge.

Both. Shower-door replacement is a regular part of our work in Redmond — old framed bypasses, broken glass, failed hinges, or a configuration upgrade on an existing opening. Replacements use the same heavy glass and hardware grade as a new install; there's no "downgraded for retrofit" path. Most replacements run faster than a fresh install because the opening is already defined.

Usually yes. If the hardware is in good condition we cut and temper a matching panel to fit the existing hinges and clips. If the hardware is also failing, we recommend replacing the full unit so the warranty covers the whole assembly. We'll tell you which path makes sense at the measure visit, not after.

Two visits. The first is a 30–45 minute field measurement after your tile and plumbing are finished. Fabrication then takes about 1.5–2 weeks. The install itself is typically a half day on site.

No — replacing or adding a shower door is not a permitted item in any Puget Sound jurisdiction we work in. (Glass railings over 30" above grade are different — those typically do require permits, and we can pull them on your behalf.)

Yes — all of Redmond is in our regular service area, including the densely-developed newer neighborhoods near the Microsoft campus and east toward Sammamish.

Frameless requires a precise measure and 1.5–2 weeks for fabrication. If the remodel timeline is tight, we sequence the measure visit around your tile install so install can happen as soon as glass arrives.

Yes — frameless and framed partitions for home office spaces are a regular Redmond project. The visual goal is usually to keep the office connected to adjacent living spaces while creating real acoustic separation. We spec glass thickness and mounting based on the use case.

Weekday measures are standard. Occasional Saturday visits are possible — call to ask about availability if your schedule needs it.
