Shower Enclosure Installation Services in Orlando, Florida
Shower enclosure installation is one of the fastest ways to modernize your bathroom and increase home value in the Orlando real estate market. Whether you're upgrading a 1970s tile surround in Winter Park or installing a frameless glass enclosure in a new construction home in Celebration, our team handles every detail from site measurement to final caulking. We work with homeowners throughout Central Florida-from Kissimmee to Daytona Beach, Sanford to Clermont-delivering custom shower solutions that match your bathroom's layout, plumbing configuration, and aesthetic preferences.
Our shower enclosure installation process begins with an on-site consultation to assess your current bathroom layout, tile dimensions, and plumbing rough-in.

Within 5-7 business days of your approval, we schedule installation, which typically takes 1-2 days depending on complexity. Our team handles all cutting, fitting, sealing, and hardware installation, leaving your bathroom clean and ready to use by day's end.

Our Shower Enclosure Installation Process
Initial Consultation and Measurement
We schedule a free in-home consultation within 48 hours of your call to (407) 777-1759, arriving with laser measuring tools to capture exact shower opening dimensions, wall angles, and tile patterns. This typically takes 30-45 minutes and includes design recommendations for frameless, semi-frameless, or tracked enclosure styles.
Design Approval and Material Selection
Within 2-3 business days, we provide detailed drawings showing your enclosure layout, glass thickness options (3/8-inch or 1/2-inch tempered), and hardware finishes in brushed nickel, polished chrome, or matte black. You'll review and approve designs before we order materials, which typically arrive within 5-7 days.
Pre-Installation Preparation
Our team arrives the day before installation to inspect existing tile, check for any structural issues, and prepare the shower area. We protect flooring and fixtures with protective coverings and verify that all materials have arrived and are undamaged.
Glass Cutting and Hardware Assembly
On installation day, we begin early morning with precise glass cutting using professional-grade equipment, ensuring each panel meets exact specifications for your shower opening. All hinges, handles, and seals are assembled and tested for smooth operation within the first 2-3 hours of work.
Installation and Sealing
We carefully position each glass panel, install stabilizer bars and brackets, and apply premium silicone caulking to all joints and edges. This process takes 4-6 hours for standard installations, with curing time of 24 hours before the enclosure is fully waterproof and usable.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
We perform a complete walkthrough, test all doors and seals for proper operation, inspect caulking lines for consistent appearance, and clean all glass surfaces to a mirror shine. Your bathroom is vacuumed, protected surfaces are removed, and we provide written care instructions before completing the project.
