How It Works
Whether your frameless shower door project is rough framed, fully tiled, or still just an elevation drawing, a well-taken photo and a few rough measurements are usually enough to get you an accurate glass shower door quote in Charlotte — often the same day.
The Four Steps
A couple of inches here or there rarely changes the price enough to justify waiting on a technician visit. Here's how we keep frameless shower door installation fast without cutting corners.
Email a photo of your shower space for a frameless glass shower door quote — even rough framing, before tile goes in. A quick elevation drawing works too.
We send back a dimensioned drawing with the quoted work, materials, and pricing — a real quote, not a rough guess.
We confirm exact dimensions on site — including matching glass height to a door or window trim line nearby — then send an updated quote for your sign-off before anything gets ordered.
Your glass is fabricated to spec and installed with the same precision as every step before it. Most frameless shower doors are installed 2–3 weeks from sign-off.
Examples of What to Send for the Best Design
Studs and rough plumbing visible — enough to infer access points and heights. This exact shower is the same project shown in the documents below.
An elevation — a straight-on, flat view of the wall you're glazing — is what we actually need. A plan view (looking down from above) shows floor footprint, not wall height, door swing, or curb detail, so it can't carry a real design. If you have architectural drawings on hand, send the elevation sheet, not the plan sheet.
Tile's in, tools still on the bench — this is the sweet spot for a final measure. Pull back far enough to catch the full opening, including where a door will swing — a tight close-up crops out the design details we need to work with. (This particular shot is tighter than we'd normally ask for; a wider version is on the list to swap in.)
How to Take a Useful Photo
Stand back far enough to catch the whole opening — we're inferring access points and heights from what's around it, not just the shower itself.
A rough measurement or two, to the best of your ability, sharpens the quote. If that's not possible, we can usually work out rough sizing from the photo alone.
If there's a door or window nearby, include it in the shot — it helps us plan ahead. The exact sightline match to a door casing or window trim gets dialed in at final measure, not just a generic 80" cutoff that ends up floating a couple inches above the door next to it. On a standard 4" curb, that usually lands the glass around 77.5", give or take — the kind of call a glass design specialist makes that a measuring tech might not.
Styles We Install
Real installs from around the Charlotte metro. Heart the ones that match what you're picturing — it carries straight through to your estimate.
European-style walk-in screen, no door at all. Works when the opening's wide enough that a door isn't needed to keep water in.
Built for a corner. Low-iron Starphire glass keeps it bright without a green tint, brushed nickel hardware throughout.
Fully sealed with a hinged door to hold steam in. Built for a steam unit, not just a walk-in shower.
Swings open like a regular door. Arched top and matching transom, satin brass hardware.
Two panels glide past each other over the tub — no swing room needed.
A thin frame edge instead of none, matte black Euro-style header. Most of the open-glass look at a lower price point.
Rotates on a top-and-bottom pin instead of side hinges. Opti-white glass for true crystal clarity.
Cut to fit walls that were never quite square, with precision openings for lighting and outlets.
Laser-measured before the mirror ever gets cut — same job as the pivot door shown above.

What Happens After You Say Yes
Every customer gets at least two quote sheets. The initial quote is detailed enough to review, share with a partner or contractor, and revise before anything moves forward. Then we measure on site — almost no wall or floor is perfectly plumb and level, even within a sixteenth of an inch — and send a final drawing with your confirmed choices for your written approval. Nothing gets ordered until you've signed off on that final version, so what gets built always matches exactly what you agreed to.
Priced from your photos and rough measurements. Review it, talk it over, ask for changes.
Confirmed to the sixteenth of an inch, with your final hardware and design choices. Signed before anything is ordered.
Here's a real example. Look at the notes near the bottom of the approved quote — a towel bar got added between the first quote and the final sign-off. That's exactly the kind of change this second document is built to catch.
