Custom frameless glass, engineered for your Kendall home
Kendall's bathroom stock is young but not immune to builder-grade shortcuts. Thousands of units were built with thin panels, stamped hardware and minimal seals — serviceable at first, underwhelming after a few years. Our crews template every opening ourselves, cut Florida-code tempered glass to the millimeter and finish it in the hardware you choose. From townhouse baths off US-1 to newer condo towers and single-family homes near Zoo Miami, we deliver precise, watertight fits that hold up to daily family use.

Every job is measured, cut and installed by our in-house team — never subcontracted out.

Backed by a written workmanship warranty. If something isn't right, we come back.

- Spotless cleanup — every shard hauled out, the room left broom-clean
- On time, in uniform, and respectful of your home
- Pricing locked in writing before we cut a single piece of glass
The true benefits of custom glass shower doors in Kendall
Unique Design
No two Kendall floor plans are alike. We fit every panel, hinge and finish to your tile, your layout and your taste — polished chrome, brushed gold, matte black and more.
Openness & Size
In a compact townhouse bath, frameless glass works like a mirror — dissolving walls, doubling the sense of space and pulling light through the room.
Cleaning & Maintenance
No metal tracks trapping soap scum and scale. A ten-second squeegee keeps frameless glass spotless — lower maintenance, better resale value.
Shower door repair & glass replacement in Kendall
Even the best enclosure wears down in this climate. Salt air attacks hardware, sweeps harden and leak, and settling can throw a door out of plumb. We diagnose it straight: if a modest seal fix solves it, we won't quote you a new door. If replacement is the smarter call, we'll show you exactly why — with an honest number either way.
- Pooling water from failed seals — fresh sweeps, vinyl and bottom seals installed
- Pitted or frozen hardware — hinges, handles and clamps swapped in your finish
- Doors that drift or won't close — re-leveled and re-hung for a clean, plumb swing
- Moldy or split caulk lines — stripped out and re-sealed with mildew-proof silicone
Most Kendall repairs are one-visit fixes. If your door simply needs re-plumbing after years of settling, we re-hang and re-seal it for a fraction of replacement cost.
Where we work in Kendall, neighborhood by neighborhood
Kendall is really a collection of distinct communities, and each one brings its own bathrooms. Here is where our crews spend their weeks.
Dadeland & the commercial core
The Dadeland Mall corridor along US-1 and SW 88th Street draws shoppers, diners and commuters from across South Florida. Behind those restaurants and offices are townhouse communities and condo towers where bathroom upgrades are a quiet industry — we run these jobs alongside residential ones, often on the same afternoon.
US-1 & Kendall Drive corridors
The stretch along US-1 and Kendall Drive carries some of Miami-Dade's most established neighborhoods: Sunset, Three Lakes and Kendall West. Single-family homes from the 1970s and '80s sit alongside newer constructions — both generations are upgrading builder-grade showers at a steady clip.
Hammocks, Country Walk & Kendall Lakes
The western edge of Kendall brings planned communities with townhouse rows and gated enclaves. Space is tight in the hall baths, sliding systems are the standard solution, and association approval paperwork is a routine part of our process.
Ranch neighborhoods near Kendall Drive
The original 1960s and '70s ranch communities still line parts of SW 8th Street and the side roads off Kendall Drive. Many still have their original framed tub doors — corroded aluminum tracks, peeling caulk, glass that rattles on every use — making them prime candidates for a frameless conversion.
The private-school corridor along SW 8th Street
Kendall's cluster of private schools draws families who value quality and efficiency. Our crews are accustomed to working around school schedules, delivering clean installs before or after the academic day without disruption.
Solid 1940s–'60s homes where the original framed tub shower has reached end of life. Tub-to-shower conversions, semi-frameless value packages and fast repairs keep this corner of the city moving — and yes, our crews speak Spanish on every visit.
Zoo Miami & the southern edge
The Zoo district anchors Kendall's southern boundary with newer homes and larger lots. Primary suites here tend toward spa-style layouts — walk-in showers, steam enclosures and double vanities — where frameless glass is less an upgrade than a given.
MiMo-era architecture meets modern renovation. We match period-appropriate chrome and bronze finishes on historic homes and run clean frameless installs on the new construction filling the Biscayne corridor.
Kendall housing, Kendall bathrooms — what your home needs by era
, Miami bathrooms — what your home needs by eraMiami's housing stock spans a hundred years in about ten miles, and the right enclosure depends on which decade your bathroom was born in. Pre-war Kendall's housing stock is mostly postwar, and the right enclosure depends on which decade your bathroom was born in. The 1960s and '70s ranch homes that define much of Kendall were built with framed sliding tub doors that corrode quickly — replacing them with a frameless tub screen or a full walk-in enclosure is one of our most common jobs.
Newer condo towers along US-1 bring different constraints: dated gold-anodized enclosures, strict association rules, and owners who want the work done in one quiet-day visit. Builders arrive with enclosure packages that owners upgrade for thicker glass, designer finishes and better seals.
Investors and property managers fill another big share of our Kendall calendar. A leaking enclosure kills a showing, and turnaround speed matters between tenants. We keep semi-frameless and frameless packages stocked for standard tub and shower openings so a vacant unit can go from damaged to show-ready inside a week.
- Pre-1940 homes — preservation-sensitive installs, out-of-square walls templated exactly
- 1945–1975 ranches — framed-to-frameless tub conversions, our volume specialty
- 1970s–'90s condos — association paperwork handled, single-visit installs
- 2000s+ towers — builder-grade upgrades to 1/2-inch glass and designer hardware
- Rentals & multifamily — durable semi-frameless packages priced for ROI
Dadeland, Baptist Hospital and the Hammocks
Dadeland & the Mall
We're registered with many Brickell and Downtown management companies. Send your building's approval packet — license, insurance, scope — and we return it completed, usually same day.
Hard Water Protection
A Miami shower runs 365 days a year. We size sweeps and transoms for airflow and seal with mildew-resistant silicone so the enclosure dries out instead of growing mold along the caulk line.
Family-Friendly Hours
June through November we build schedule buffer around the tropics. If a system forces a reschedule, you're first on the calendar when the coast clears — and your deposit never travels.
Glass services for Kendall homeowners
Custom frameless enclosures
Alcove, corner and walk-in showers fabricated to your template — 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass, hinge or pivot doors, and fixed panels with header-free spans where the structure allows. Hardware in the finish of your choice and a written workmanship warranty on every enclosure.
Frameless sliding systems
For baths where a swinging door can't clear the vanity — which describes many townhouse layouts along US-1 — our bypass and barn-style systems deliver the frameless look with zero door-swing footprint.
Tub conversions & tub screens
Retire the curtain without losing the tub, or convert to a walk-in pan and let us close it in with glass. Most Kendall conversions go from template to install inside two weeks.
Shower door repair, same week
Leaking sweeps, frozen hinges, chips and rollers are one-visit fixes in almost every case. If the door needs re-plumbing after years of settling, we re-hang and re-seal it for a fraction of replacement.
Glass railings & partitions
Staircases, balconies, lofts and office buildouts — our railing and partition crews run Kendall jobs alongside the shower schedule, so one company can glass your whole property.
Vanity mirrors & shelf glass
Beveled, polished or back-lit mirrors cut to your wall, plus glass shelves and niche covers matched to your new enclosure — typically installed in the same visit.

Glass, style & hardware choices for your Kendall enclosure
The glass and hardware you pick change the whole feel of the room. These are the decisions Miami clients weigh on every project, with the honest trade-offs of each.
Clear, low-iron or patterned glass
Standard clear glass shows a greenish edge — strongest on thick panels against white marble; some owners love the depth, others want it gone. Low-iron glass is water-white and disappears against premium tile, which is why it dominates Design District spec homes. Rain-glass and fluted patterns add privacy for hall baths without sacrificing light, satin-etched glass reads spa-quiet in primary baths, and bronze or gray tints warm Mediterranean Revival homes beautifully.
3/8-inch or 1/2-inch glass
Three-eighths is the industry-standard frameless thickness: proven, code-compliant and right for ninety percent of doors. Half-inch is heavier, quieter and stiffer — worth it on extra-tall panels, wide fixed panels where you want the least deflection, and primary baths where owners want vault-door solidity when the latch closes. Both are fully tempered safety glass; the choice is feel, not safety.
Finishes that survive 331xx humidity
Chrome and brushed nickel remain the reliable workhorses. Matte black is the current Miami favorite and holds up well indoors from reputable brands. Brushed gold and polished brass dominate luxury-tower remodels; we steer oceanfront clients toward PVD-coated equivalents, because salt air is indifferent to decorating budgets. Whatever the finish, solid-brass hinge bodies are non-negotiable.
Protective coatings & maintenance
Miami tap water is hard enough to etch glass within a year of neglect. Factory hydrophobic coatings make scale wipe off instead of bonding, and they matter most in showers used daily by the whole household. The ten-second squeegee habit remains the best warranty you can buy, coating or not — and never use abrasives on treated glass.
Door swing, headers and notches
Hinged doors need clearance; sliders solve tight rooms; and the header-versus-headerless debate is real. Headerless enclosures look cleaner but demand exact wall anchoring — we assess your blocking and tell you honestly whether your walls can carry it. Notched glass joints turn corners with near-invisible seams where the design calls for it.
Privacy glass for shared layouts
Miami's postwar homes often put two baths back-to-back or open them onto hallways. If your shower serves guests or faces a window line, gradient frost (clear low, obscure high), full satin or patterned glass keeps the light while keeping life discreet.
Kendall FAQ
Because the builder chose the cheapest compliant option. Developer enclosures typically run thin glass, stamped hardware and minimal seals — fine for a model unit, underwhelming for a home. Swapping to true frameless glass upgrades the feel of the whole bathroom without touching tile or plumbing, in a single visit.
Usually yes for anything visible from the exterior, often no for interior bathrooms — but every community differs. Send us your association's requirements; we're already in most Kendall vendor files and can add yours within a day.
Yes — estimates, contracts, warranties and the entire process in the language you prefer. Our crews work in English and Spanish, like Kendall expects.
Frameless sliding systems — bypass or barn-style — give you the heavy-glass look with zero door swing, ideal when the vanity sits three feet from the shower. Modern sealed rollers keep them gliding smoothly for years.
Yes — plenty of Kendall clients do exactly that. Residential crews handle the house; commercial crews handle conference rooms, storefronts and lobby glass, scheduled evenings or weekends so the office never pauses.
About two weeks from template to install, with the install itself taking two to four hours per bathroom. Newer construction measures quickly, and whole-house packages can often combine into one install day.
Sometimes — a loose roller or worn sweep is a cheap fix that buys time. But if the finish is wearing or the door rattles on its hinges, repair money delays the inevitable. We assess both paths in writing and you choose with real numbers.
For doors, 3/8-inch tempered is the industry standard and the right choice for most baths; 1/2-inch reads even more solid on extra-tall panels and wide fixed screens. Both are far beyond the developer's 1/4-inch stock — the upgrade you feel every time the door closes.
