Custom Shower Doors & Glass Railings in Bellevue, WA

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, ourselves included.

Semi-frameless uses a slim frame around the perimeter of the fixed panel only. It is a more affordable, watertight option that still reads modern. Frameless uses thick tempered glass with minimal hardware and is what most Bellevue customers choose for new builds and remodels because it shows the tile work and reads as a higher-end finish. We specialize in custom frameless and semi-frameless enclosures and don't install standard framed aluminum-channel doors.

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 to 25% upcharge.

Usually yes. If the hardware is in good condition we spec a matching tempered 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.

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. Those high-end neighborhoods adjacent to Bellevue are core to our work. Some of our largest installs are in Clyde Hill, including a $7.8M completed estate and an $8.5M estate currently in progress.

Yes. For new construction in Bellevue we work from architect or builder drawings, then field-verify before fabrication.

Most Bellevue measures happen within 3 to 5 days of contact. Phone is fastest if you need to schedule sooner.

Bellevue projects skew toward heavier specs, which is what moves the price: 1/2 inch glass, low-iron upgrades, steam tops, oversized panels. The quote itself works like every quote we write, produced after a free in-home measure and honored as written.

Both. New construction and remodel work is the larger share here, but we regularly replace older framed and semi-frameless units in Bridle Trails and Cherry Crest homes with current frameless hardware on the existing opening.
