Shower Door Installation & Replacement in Renton, 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 Renton 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. All of Renton is in our regular service area. The Highlands and Kennydale are common project areas; the Landing's newer construction takes frameless work cleanly.

Weekday measures are standard. Saturday is occasionally possible. Call to ask. Phone is fastest for scheduling.

Yes. Frameless or framed exterior glass railings on view properties around Lake Washington are a familiar project. We spec laminated tempered glass for elevated installs and confirm hardware is rated for exterior exposure.

We measure and call out wall conditions before fabrication. The panel is fabricated to fit the wall as it is, not to a theoretical right angle. This is the same approach we use for Seattle's older housing stock.

Quotes follow a free in-home measure. Glass thickness and hardware drive the base price; low-iron glass, return panels, and custom notches move it up. The written quote after the measure is what you pay.

Renton is central to our coverage, so measures usually land within a week. Fabrication takes about two weeks after that, and the install is a half day.

If the frame is corroding or the door drags, replacement is the better spend. The new unit mounts on the existing opening with heavier glass and cleaner hardware, and the job runs faster than a new install because the opening is already defined.
