Recent glass projects across Bergen County, NJ

Quick answer: Over the past forty-plus years, Accurate Glass & Mirror has installed custom glass in nearly every Bergen County town and across much of Passaic, Hudson and Essex counties. This post is a tour of recent project highlights — shower doors, mirrors, railings, painted glass, and commercial work — organized by region, with links to town-specific spotlights so you can see the kind of work we're doing in your neighborhood.

AGM across Bergen County: an overview

Accurate Glass & Mirror has been Bergen County's hometown custom-glass shop for over four decades. Founded in 1979 and family-run ever since, we've completed an estimated 6,000+ residential and commercial installs across the region. Our two showrooms — the main shop and fabrication facility in Lodi, plus a satellite by-appointment showroom in Midland Park — let us cover the county from north to south without long drive times to your home.

The work breaks down roughly into six categories: shower doors and enclosures, custom mirrors, glass railings, glass tabletops, painted-glass surfaces (backsplashes, accent walls, fireplace surrounds), and commercial glass (storefronts, office partitions, restaurants, retail). Roughly two-thirds of any given month's calendar is residential — primary-bath remodels are the single largest category by job count — with the balance going to commercial fit-outs and repair work.

One thing that hasn't changed in forty years: we field-measure, fabricate, and install with our own crew. There are no subcontractors. The person who templates your bathroom is the same operation that cuts the glass and the same operation that anchors the hinges into your studs. That's why a town-spotlight series like this one is even possible — every one of these projects is one we did ourselves, start to finish.

Recent shower-door highlights

Shower enclosures are our highest-volume category, and the variety reflects the variety of Bergen County housing stock. Here are four recent residential installs that show the range:

Frameless 1/2″ enclosure in a 1920s Hackensack Tudor

The primary bath in a 1920s Tudor on the south side of Hackensack had been gut-renovated with new tile but kept the original tight footprint. The owners wanted a frameless enclosure that wouldn't visually block the period casement window over the tub. We installed a single inline frameless door in 1/2″ low-iron glass with brushed brass hardware, sealed against the existing tile with a slim continuous header clip. Total fabrication and install ran two weeks from approved quote.

Steam enclosure in a Franklin Lakes estate bath

A custom steam enclosure in a Franklin Lakes new-build — sealed all the way to the 10-foot ceiling, with an operable transom for venting and an upgraded gasket system at every joint. The glass package was 3/8″ clear with matte-black hinges and a custom 24″ pull. Steam-rated enclosures are one of the fastest-growing categories in upscale Bergen baths, especially in newer construction with the dedicated mechanical room for the steam generator.

Low-iron sliding door in a tight Ridgewood condo bath

A small condo bath in central Ridgewood had a 60″ tub-shower combo and no room for a swinging door without clipping the vanity. We installed a frameless sliding bypass in 3/8″ low-iron glass on a slim top track in polished chrome. The low-iron upgrade was worth it on this one — the existing white subway tile finally read truly white instead of the faint greenish cast you get from standard clear glass at that thickness.

Frameless replacement in an older Englewood center-hall colonial

An Englewood center-hall colonial had a builder-grade framed slider from the 1990s that the owners had finally had enough of. We pulled the old enclosure, repaired the substrate, and installed a frameless inline door with a fixed return panel in 3/8″ clear glass with the hydrophobic coating. The homeowner texted Jessica two months later to say it still looked exactly like it did the day we left.

Recent mirror & custom-mirror-wall highlights

Custom mirrors are a category most homeowners don't realize is a category — and then they see one done well and they understand. Three recent examples from very different homes:

Full-wall home-gym mirror in Wyckoff

A converted basement gym in a Wyckoff home needed a full wall of mirror — 14 feet long, floor-to-near-ceiling, with finished polished edges and J-channel anchoring. We delivered and set the panels in a single afternoon. The owner wanted the mirror flush to the wall with no decorative frame, so the wall itself reads as glass.

Beveled vanity mirror in Tenafly

A primary-bath vanity in Tenafly with two undermount sinks needed two matching beveled mirrors, each 30″ wide by 40″ tall with a 1″ polished bevel. The mirrors were anchored above the sconces (rather than around them, which is the older convention), with a thin gap between the two for symmetry. Custom mirrors at this size and quality are a meaningful upgrade over anything you'll find off the shelf.

Antique-finish entryway mirror in Saddle River

An entryway in a Saddle River estate wanted a single statement mirror — large, ornate framing, but with the mirror itself in an antique-finish silvering rather than the modern bright reflective stock. We fabricated a 48″ × 72″ panel with the antique treatment, then collaborated with the owner's framer on the gilt frame. The result is a mirror that feels original to the house even though the substrate is brand new.

Recent glass railing highlights

Glass railings are a growing category across Bergen — both interior stairs that benefit from the open sightline and exterior balconies and pool decks. Three recent installs:

Interior stair railing in Mahwah

A renovated open-plan home in Mahwah replaced its dated wood-spindle staircase with a frameless glass railing — 3/8″ tempered panels, top-mounted on a wood handrail, with stainless standoffs anchoring into the stair stringer. The result is that the staircase visually disappears, leaving the rest of the great-room open.

Balcony railing in Cliffside Park

A multi-level home in Cliffside Park with an east-facing balcony overlooking the Hudson wanted to preserve the view from the kitchen behind it. We installed an exterior-rated frameless glass railing in 1/2″ tempered glass with anodized aluminum top rail and base channel. The glass meets code for guardrail load while keeping the river view completely unobstructed.

Pool-deck railing in Alpine

A pool deck in Alpine needed a code-compliant barrier between the deck and the lawn beyond. We installed a 4-foot frameless glass railing along 60 feet of perimeter, all 1/2″ tempered with stainless point fittings into the stone deck. The barrier reads as almost invisible from the pool, while the deck stays clean visually.

Recent painted glass & backsplash highlights

Back-painted glass — a single seamless panel of color behind a stove or sink, or wrapping a fireplace — is one of the most underused upgrades in NJ kitchens. Three recent examples:

Kitchen backsplash in Ridgewood

A renovated kitchen in Ridgewood ran a single 8-foot panel of back-painted glass in soft warm white behind the range, eliminating grout lines entirely. The panel was templated to fit around the range hood, around two outlets, and tight to the cabinets on either side. Clean-up is a wipe with a microfiber — no scrubbing tile, no caulk lines collecting grease.

Fireplace surround in Allendale

A fireplace surround in Allendale wrapped the firebox in three panels of back-painted glass in deep charcoal, with polished edges. The owner wanted the look of black marble without the cost or maintenance — painted glass nails the aesthetic at a fraction of the price and is impervious to soot.

Retail accent wall in Hackensack

A small boutique in Hackensack wanted an accent wall behind its checkout counter that would photograph well for Instagram. We installed two large panels of back-painted glass in a custom matched brand color, with hidden mechanical fasteners and no visible seams. The wall has been in social-media background for nearly a year of customer photos.

Recent commercial highlights

Commercial work is where the same skills that build a residential shower enclosure scale up. Recent commercial installs across the region:

Storefront in Englewood

A retail tenant in downtown Englewood needed full storefront replacement after a vehicle strike. We pulled the damaged framing, replaced two anchored mullions, and installed two new tempered storefront panels in a single workday. Insurance projects like these are often a same-week turnaround — the entire storefront measure, fabricate and install ran six days from the first call.

Conference-room walls in a Hackensack office

A professional-services tenant on the second floor of a Hackensack office building wanted four conference rooms with full-height frameless glass walls. We fabricated and installed sixteen 1/2″ tempered panels with stainless point-fitting connectors, plus frameless glass doors at each entry. Two-week fabrication, two-day install across an evening and weekend to avoid disrupting business hours.

Restaurant partition in Ridgewood

A new restaurant in central Ridgewood wanted a glass partition separating the bar from the main dining room — head-height, slim metal channel, painted glass on the lower half for privacy at the bar stools and clear glass above for sightline. We delivered the partition in two sections and installed before opening night.

Common trends we're seeing in 2026

A few patterns across all six service categories have become unmistakable this year:

Matte black hardware is now the default

For most of the past decade, brushed nickel was the safe default finish on shower hardware, mirror clips, and railing connectors. Matte black has now overtaken it in our Bergen install mix. It pairs equally well with modern, transitional and even some traditional baths, and it photographs cleanly in social-media-driven design choices.

Low-iron is moving from upgrade to expected

Five years ago, low-iron (ultra-clear) glass was a specialty upgrade for designers and high-end primary baths. In 2026, it's increasingly the default specification on any frameless project at 3/8″ or 1/2″ thickness — homeowners have seen the difference enough to ask for it by name.

Frameless replacing framed in remodel cycles

A meaningful share of our work is now replacing 15–25-year-old framed sliders with frameless enclosures during a bathroom refresh. The cost gap has narrowed and the visual upgrade is so dramatic that most homeowners taking on a remodel are choosing frameless even when budget pressures them to stay framed.

Steam-rated enclosures growing fast in upscale builds

Steam enclosures used to be a once-a-quarter project. They're now a once-a-month project, driven by larger primary-bath footprints and the falling cost of residential steam-generator units. Most of the steam work is in Franklin Lakes, Saddle River, Alpine, Upper Saddle River and Tenafly.

Painted glass replacing tile in kitchens

Back-painted glass as a kitchen backsplash is finally catching on in volume. The clean-up advantage (no grout, no caulk lines) plus the ability to color-match anything is winning over homeowners doing higher-end kitchen remodels. Ridgewood, Wyckoff, and Tenafly have been the leading towns for this category.
