Custom frameless glass for your North Miami home
North Miami is the City of Natural Beauty — a grid of shady postwar streets, bay-front blocks and Biscayne Boulevard mid-rises sitting between Little Haiti and the beaches. Its bathrooms are honest rooms in solid houses: concrete-block ranches from the fifties, co-ops from the condo boom years, and rebuilds that arrive with architect drawings. A stock framed door undersells all of them. We template, fabricate and install every enclosure ourselves — no subcontractors — with Florida-code tempered safety glass and hardware in the finish you choose, fitted flush to your tile and built for South Florida heat and humidity.
Our Own Installers
Every job is measured, cut and installed by our in-house team — never subcontracted out.
Written Warranty
Backed by a written workmanship warranty. If something isn’t right, we come back.
Free In-Home Estimates
Itemized, honest quotes before any work begins. No pressure and no surprises.
Crews that respect your house and your day
Most of North Miami’s housing predates 1980, which means the glass has to be planned around rooms that have settled for decades. That’s craft, not inconvenience — and it’s the baseline on every job we book here. Here’s exactly what that looks like:
- Exact templating — every wall angle and bow mapped before fabrication
- Fast, careful installation of your custom tempered panels
- Full cleanup — your bathroom left cleaner than we found it
- Professional service from first call through the final walk-through
- Up-front pricing with no surprise charges on install day
The true benefits of custom glass shower doors
Unique Design
North Miami bathrooms run from original fifties tile to full renovation, and our enclosures are built to match — every angle, panel and hardware finish chosen around your space, not the other way round.
Openness & Size
Frameless glass dissolves visual barriers. In the compact hall baths these ranches were built with, it’s the cheapest way to make the room read larger and brighter the moment the install wraps.
Cleaning & Maintenance
No metal frame and no bottom track means soap scum and hard-water scale have nowhere to collect. A quick squeegee keeps it clear for years — minimal effort, lasting return.
Shower door repair & glass replacement in North Miami
The framed aluminum sliders that came with these houses are reaching their forties, and humidity has been grading them ever since. Sweets stiffen, rollers bind, finishes pit and doors drop off their guides. Before you assume the whole enclosure is the problem, let us look — if a repair solves it, we won’t sell you a replacement, and if replacement is the smarter money we’ll show you why with a transparent quote.
- Leaks from worn sweeps and seals — bottom tracks and weatherstripping renewed
- Seized or pitted hardware — hinges, rollers, handles and brackets replaced in your finish
- Sagging, off-track doors — re-squared and re-hung to close cleanly
- Cracked or moldy caulking — raked out and resealed the right way
Most North Miami repairs are one-visit fixes with the wear parts stocked on the van. Binding sliders and chewed-up bottom seals are the most common calls in the postwar stock, and swapping them is usually a same-week job.
From the bay streets to the county line
North Miami is twenty square miles of bay front, canal blocks, arts district and bedroom neighborhoods — and its housing stock changes character block by block. Our crews work all of it every week. Here’s where the phone usually rings.
Park Center and Old City Hall
The historic heart around the 1926 Mediterranean Revival city hall — bungalows and early ranch homes with original bathrooms still in service. Renovations here respect the house: frameless glass that opens a small bath without swallowing its character, templated around walls only a custom fabricator can follow.
Bayshore Estates and the bay streets
The bayfront and canal blocks between Little Haiti and North Miami Beach, where mid-century homes share water views with ambitious rebuilds. Breeze off Biscayne makes hardware a chemistry decision on these streets — we spec corrosion-rated finishes near the water and glass that disappears against the view.
The Miamis and the mid-century grid
The planned fifties neighborhood of ranch homes on generous lots, many now in their second or third generation of owners. Hall baths that raised families get easy-glide sliders and privacy glass; primaries get the frameless walk-in the renovation promised.
The Biscayne Boulevard co-ops and mid-rises
The corridor’s sixties-through-eighties condominiums — solid buildings with boards, bylaws and work windows. We file the COI and scope letter for the board packet, reserve the elevator, and install inside the rules. Corridor management companies see vendor paperwork weekly; ours tends to sail through.
Windmill Lake and the MOCA arts district
Around the lake tower and the Museum of Contemporary Art, renovations lean designer: low-iron clarity, matte-black hardware, fabricate-to-drawing precision. New mid-rise apartments land here too — builder glass upgraded the week the deed closes.
NE 163rd Street and West North Miami
The city’s western edge toward the county line — postwar tracts, newer infill and rental houses where the framed shower is the first item on the upgrade list. True frameless in the primary, a value slider in the hall: one measure, one install day, one honest number.
Postwar bones, modern bathrooms
North Miami’s housing is a gift for glass work: solid concrete-block construction from the fifties through the seventies, built on roomy lots with bathrooms that were designed around framed doors and are ready for the frameless era. Original tub surrounds and their aluminum sliders are hitting end-of-life across whole streets at once, and the replacement math is usually simple — when the track corrodes or the door jumps its guide, repair money becomes a down payment on the job you’ll need anyway. We write both numbers down and let you choose.
The bay side adds the other chapter. Homes along the water mix originals with contemporary rebuilds, and the Biscayne breeze turns hardware into a materials decision — we spec solid-brass bodies and quality coatings near the water and price sensibly a mile inland. The rebuilds arrive with drawings, and we fabricate to them: curbless entries, full-height panels, ceiling-hung fixed screens, glass that reads as architecture instead of fixture.
The arts district keeps the city young. MOCA-adjacent renovations lean designer finishes and low-iron clarity; the rental corridors lean practical — units turned between tenants, investor homes upgraded for listing photos, first-time owners finishing the bathroom they almost bought the house for. One city, every register of the same craft.
Value is the word North Miami homeowners reach for at estimates, and it’s earned: standard openings, plumb walls and short routes from our shop mean this city gets some of the most accessible frameless pricing in eastern Miami-Dade. A family upgrading both bathrooms here often spends less than a single-bath tower job costs a few miles south — same glass, same crews, same written warranty.
- Postwar ranches — framed-to-frameless conversions at honest prices
- Bay streets — corrosion-rated specs for the Biscayne breeze
- Arts-district renovations — designer finishes, fabricated to drawing
- Boulevard co-ops — board paperwork handled, installs inside the rules
- Rental stock — duty-grade packages, turnaround-friendly scheduling
What this city asks of a glass company
Board-Fluent
Half the city lives in co-ops and condos with approval processes. License, insurance and scope documentation arrive complete — if your board doesn’t know us yet, the packet gets finished in a day.
Old-House Accurate
Sixty years of settling means no opening is square. We template every angle digitally and fabricate to the room as it stands — the only way frameless glass fits an old North Miami house properly.
Multilingual Crews
North Miami runs on English, Spanish and Haitian Creole. Estimates and documents in English or Spanish, Creole-friendly crews — communication that matches the kitchen table.
Glass work from the bay to the county line
Custom frameless enclosures
3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass, wall-anchored hinges, headerless spans where the structure allows — every panel templated to your opening and installed by our own employees, never subs.
Framed-to-frameless conversions
The aluminum box that came with the house comes out cleanly — anchors patched, tile spared, true frameless glass going in. The single upgrade that carries an entire postwar bathroom without touching plumbing.
Sliding systems for compact baths
Hall baths and guest bathrooms here rarely have swing room. Frameless bypass and barn-style systems solve it with the same heavy-glass look and sealed stainless rollers that glide for years.
Tub screens & shower conversions
A frameless tub screen retires the curtain where the tub stays; a full walk-in conversion happens in coordination with your plumber on pan, valve and waterproofing. Both quoted at the measure.
Repair & hardware refresh
Seized rollers, leaking sweeps and pitted hinges replaced with stocked equivalents — usually one visit. If the enclosure itself is terminal, we quote replacement straight, with numbers.
Mirrors, shelves & storefronts
Vanity mirrors, glass shelves and niche covers matched to your hardware — plus storefront, partition and window work for the boulevard’s shops and offices from the same crews.
From first call to final squeegee in North Miami
1
The call
Call 305-814-7483 or use the site form — English, Spanish or Creole at the kitchen table. Tell us whether you’re in a house or a board building, and we’ll tell you exactly what your job needs before anyone measures anything.
2
The template
A crew leader digitizes the opening, confirms finishes with samples, and — for co-op and condo units — files the board paperwork in parallel: COI, scope letter, elevator reservation.
3
Fabrication
Five to seven business days at our shop — low-iron, tinted and coated glass included. Board approvals usually clear in the same window, so nothing waits on paperwork.
4
Installation
One visit, two to four hours. Floors protected from door to bathroom, work zone contained, broom-clean departure — care walkthrough and warranty registration before the truck leaves.
The finishes North Miami wears well
Above-average humidity everywhere, salt air only near the water, and a housing stock that rewards sensible choices. The guidance we give on every North Miami measure, before any deposit is placed.
Chrome and stainless, honestly
Inland North Miami is kinder to finishes than the beach cities — chrome and brushed stainless earn their keep here for decades. Spend the upgrade money on glass thickness instead of exotic plating, unless your address is close enough to the bay to matter.
PVD where the water reaches
Bayfront blocks and the canal streets get their own spec: PVD-coated finishes over solid brass, chosen for the salt the breeze carries in from Biscayne. It costs more than plated and is worth every dollar within sight of the water.
Low-iron glass against white
Original white tile and bright renovation palettes dominate these bathrooms, and standard glass greens against them. Low-iron glass is colorless — the tile reads true and the room reads brighter.
Coatings for hard water
Miami-Dade water leaves scale on bare glass faster than anyone scrubs it. A factory hydrophobic coating makes the squeegee pass actually work — scale wipes off instead of bonding, and the bathroom stays clear between cleanings.
Privacy options for hall baths
Shared bathrooms get satin, gradient-frost or fluted glass — bright, discreet and forgiving of water spotting. All three come to the measure as samples so the choice is visual, not theoretical.
3/8-inch vs 1/2-inch
For most North Miami baths, 3/8-inch tempered is the right balance of rigidity and weight on old walls. Half-inch goes where spans are wide or panels run floor-to-ceiling — stiffer, quieter, solid in the latch.
Why North Miami chooses us
Referrals in this city travel block by block, and that’s the only review system we care about. Neighbors recommend a glass company for three reasons: did the crew show up when promised, was the price the number quoted, and does the glass still close like new two years later. We built the business on those three answers — employees instead of subs, itemized quotes instead of ballpark math, hardware specified for this climate from the hinge to the handle.
The work comes with a written warranty, wear parts stay stocked for the short service visit years down the road, and estimates, documents and installation run in English or Spanish without anyone translating at the kitchen table. In a city of solid houses, active boards and high standards, that’s the whole pitch — and block by block, it keeps working.
North Miami FAQ
Yes — we prepare the license, the COI naming your building and a scope letter for the board packet, then coordinate elevator reservations once approval lands. Corridor buildings see vendor paperwork every week; ours tends to be the easy one.
That’s normal in postwar homes — and exactly why we template instead of measuring by tape. A crew leader digitizes every angle and bow, fabrication follows the room as it actually stands, and the panels sit flush without touching your tile.
Yes — full tub-to-shower conversions planned with your plumber on the pan, valve and waterproofing, or a frameless tub screen if the tub stays. Most conversions run about a week from demo to final seal, and we quote both options at the visit.
Of course — North Miami is one of the most multilingual cities in the county. Estimates and documents in English or Spanish, Creole-friendly crews, and clear communication at every step regardless of the kitchen-table language.
Both are fair answers. A like-for-like slider swap is the budget play; going frameless usually pays for itself in how the bathroom reads. We quote both on the spot so you compare real numbers instead of hypotheticals.
3/8-inch tempered glass with chrome or brushed stainless solid hardware — inland, the least exotic combination is often the longest-lived. Duty-grade sweeps and seals keep between-tenant maintenance to one short visit.
No — impact ratings apply to openings that face the storm, like windows and exterior doors. Interior enclosures require tempered safety glass under the Florida building code, which is exactly what every panel we fabricate is.
Fabrication runs five to seven business days, then one visit of two to four hours. Anchors and glass in the morning, sealing, a care walkthrough and warranty paperwork before lunch — you’re showering in it that night.
