Quick answer: Elmwood Park (ZIP 07407) is one of our absolute closest service areas — six minutes from the Lodi shop, just across the Passaic River. Most of the housing stock is mid-century: split-levels, Capes, ranches and Four-Squares built between the 1940s and 60s when the borough was still called East Paterson. A lot of those homes still have first-generation showers and vanity mirrors due for a refresh, which is the bread-and-butter of our Elmwood Park work.

Elmwood Park at a glance
Elmwood Park sits between the Passaic River and the Saddle Brook line — about 20,000 residents in roughly two and a half square miles. It was incorporated as East Paterson in 1903 and renamed in 1973, and the architecture tells that story: post-war split-levels and ranches on tidy 50-by-100 lots, classic American Four-Squares closer to Market Street, and Cape Cods scattered throughout. There's a big share of long-term owner-occupied homes, which means a lot of original bathrooms.
From Lodi we're across the river in about six minutes via Market Street or Route 46. That short hop translates into same-week measure availability and quick turnaround on follow-up service.
Shower-door highlights
Frameless inline replacement in a Market Street ranch
A 1950s ranch off Market Street had the original mid-century framed slider — that classic aluminum bypass with the chronic rust at the bottom track. The owners had renovated the rest of the house room by room and finally got to the primary bath. We pulled the old slider, repaired the substrate, and templated for a single inline frameless door in 3/8″ clear glass with brushed-nickel hinges. The original tile stayed, only the glass changed. Total project: ten days from quote to install.
Frameless slider in a tight split-level upstairs bath
A typical Elmwood Park split-level had the kid's bath squeezed between two bedrooms with a 60″ tub-shower. The vanity wall ruled out a swinging door. We installed a frameless bypass slider in 3/8″ clear glass on a polished-chrome top track, with a matching toggle handle. Sliders aren't as glamorous as a fully frameless inline door, but in a 1950s split-level upstairs bath, they're often the only thing that fits.
Corner frameless in a renovated Cape on Boulevard
A Cape near Boulevard had been gutted top to bottom by a new owner. The plan called for a corner shower with two fixed return panels and a single inswing door — all 3/8″ low-iron glass on matte-black hardware. The low-iron upgrade let the new bone-colored tile read its actual color rather than picking up the faint green cast standard glass adds at that thickness. Two-week fabrication, half-day install.
Mirror highlights
Wall-to-wall vanity mirror in a split-level primary bath
A primary bath in a split-level off Mola Boulevard had a 72″ vanity with two sinks and a tall window between the mirrors had previously been broken up. The owners wanted a single uninterrupted mirror running wall to wall, with cleanly polished edges. We delivered a 6-foot panel cut to the inch, anchored with mirror mastic and J-channel above the backsplash. The bathroom read instantly larger.
Beveled foyer mirror for an American Four-Square
A Four-Square off Lawn Avenue had a long entry hall that the owners wanted to brighten without changing the existing trim. We cut a 32″ × 60″ panel with a 1″ polished bevel and helped them mount it on the wall opposite the door. The bevel catches afternoon light and throws it back into the otherwise dark hallway.
Other glass work
Back-painted glass kitchen backsplash on Boulevard
A renovated kitchen on Boulevard ran a single 7-foot back-painted glass panel in soft cream behind the range, templated to fit around the hood and three outlets. The panel was set with a structural adhesive and clear silicone perimeter. No grout, no tile lines collecting grease.
Glass tabletop for an heirloom dining table
An owner of a family-piece dining table off River Drive asked for a custom tempered glass top to protect the wood — 1/2″ thick, polished edges, beveled to match the table's profile. We templated the tabletop in person, cut to a 1/16″ tolerance, and delivered the next week.

Request Your Measure →Why Elmwood Park chooses AGM
Two reasons we hear repeatedly. First, the drive. Elmwood Park is one of the few towns where we can sometimes be at your door within 24 hours of the initial call. That matters for time-sensitive jobs — closing-day repairs, broken storefronts, post-renovation glass that has to be in place before a contractor's drywall inspection. Second, our experience with the housing stock. Mid-century splits and Capes have specific quirks (uneven tile, settled walls, dated rough openings) that we've templated thousands of times. We know where the wall studs run, where the hidden plumbing sits, and how to seal frameless glass tight against tile that wasn't laid yesterday.
And we still do everything in-house. Same family-run crew templates, fabricates, and installs. No subcontractors.
