Nobody can price a Teaneck shower door from a photograph. The number comes from dimensions taken at several heights, from how square the tile actually sits, and from where hardware can be anchored, which is why Accurate Glass & Mirror measures the opening in person before quoting. That visit is free on residential work and nothing is owed afterward.
An opening that reads as sixty inches wide in a photo may be sixty and an eighth at the curb and fifty-nine and three quarters at the top. On a framed door, metal covers that. On a frameless door, that difference is the whole job, because the glass is cut to the opening and there is nothing to hide behind. A range quoted over the phone is therefore a range for a bathroom nobody has seen. It is useful for setting expectations and useless for ordering glass. Photographs flatten depth too. A niche that stands proud of the tile, a bench that is not quite level, or a curb that steps in at one end are invisible in a picture and consequential to a panel cut to a sixteenth.
Width at the bottom, middle, and top. Height at both jambs. Whether the walls lean, and how far over what distance. Curb width, curb slope, and whether the top of it is sound. Where studs or blocking sit behind the tile, so hinges land in something real. Which way the door should swing and what it must clear when it does.
Those figures go directly to the bench in the Lodi shop where the panels are cut and edged. That is also when glass type and hardware finish get locked in, so the visit ends with decisions rather than homework. Anything still undecided gets written down as an open item instead of quietly assumed, which is what keeps a quote honest.
Glass area and thickness make up the largest line. Hardware follows, chosen to carry the thickness you picked and finished in polished chrome, brushed nickel, matte black, or oil-rubbed bronze. Labor covers anchoring into tile, setting panels plumb, sealing, and removing whatever is in there now. Options like low-iron glass or a protective coating are separate lines you can take or leave. None of that list is a mystery once the measure is done, which is the whole reason for doing it first. Teaneck is about twelve minutes from the Lodi shop, and the same crew that measures is the one that installs.
Someone comes to the bathroom, measures the opening at several heights, checks the walls and curb for level and plumb, confirms which way the door should swing, and identifies where hardware can be anchored. You pick glass and finish while they are there. Those numbers go straight to the shop that cuts the panels.
Yes. Glass is cut to the finished surface, so measuring before tile and grout are in means measuring something that will not exist when the door arrives. If you are mid-renovation, schedule the measure once the tile is set. It is the easiest way to avoid a remake.
We will come to your Teaneck bathroom, measure the opening ourselves, check the walls for square, and leave you with a firm price instead of a range. It costs nothing and takes a single visit. The Lodi shop answers at (201) 460-1313.
