Paterson's housing stock is wildly varied: stately Victorians in Eastside and Forest Hill, dense two-and three-family workhorse housing in Riverside and the Sandy Hill area, low-rise condos and apartments throughout the city core, and a deep base of pre-war commercial frontage downtown. We do residential shower-door work here regularly — often for landlord clients upgrading three or four units at once — and a steady run of commercial storefront and restaurant glass. The variety is part of the appeal: no two Paterson jobs look quite alike.

Shower-door highlights
Shower enclosures are our highest-volume residential category in Paterson, and the variety of housing here means we see a wide spread of styles and footprints. Recent examples:
Eastside Victorian primary-bath frameless retrofit
A primary bath in a stately Eastside Victorian had a brand-new tile renovation but an old framed glass slider. We pulled the slider, installed a 3/8″ frameless inline door with a 14″ buttress panel, matte black hardware, and the hydrophobic coating. The owner sent the install photos to her contractor as a 'see, this is what I wanted' reference for the rest of the project.
Four-unit multifamily shower-door package on a Sandy Hill street
A four-unit multifamily property near Sandy Hill had identical tub-shower openings in every unit. We measured all four on a single morning, fabricated matching 3/8″ frameless bypass doors, and installed across two consecutive workdays. Landlord clients appreciate the volume pricing and the predictable timeline — and tenants get a real upgrade rather than another vinyl curtain.
Compact bath upgrade in a Riverside two-family
A two-family upper unit in Riverside had a tight 54″ shower opening. We installed a single 3/8″ frameless inline door with a slim 8″ buttress panel and polished chrome hardware. Three-week turnaround from approved quote.
Mirror highlights
Custom mirrors are an underused category — most homeowners don't realize the upgrade until they see one done at the right size, with the right edge treatment. Two recent Paterson examples:
Forest Hill Victorian entryway mirror
A full-height 36″ × 84″ mirror in an Eastside Victorian entryway. We fabricated with polished edges and a soft hand-applied antique-finish silvering to match the period of the house, then anchored with concealed standoff hardware.
Restaurant back-bar mirror replacement downtown
A downtown restaurant needed its 8-foot back-bar mirror replaced after a fall. We fabricated a single tempered panel with polished edges, anchored with mechanical clips, and completed the swap before the dinner shift.
Other glass work
Beyond showers and mirrors, we see steady volume in Paterson across the rest of our services:
- Storefront replacement on Market Street after a vehicle strike — two tempered panels and a re-anchored mullion in a single workday.
- Restaurant partition in a new downtown space — slim metal channel with painted glass on the lower half for privacy at the bar stools.
- Painted-glass accent wall in a small Eastside retail space — two custom-color panels with no visible seams.
- Glass railing on a renovated Forest Hill stair — 3/8″ tempered panels on stainless standoffs.
Why Paterson chooses AGM
Paterson's mix of high-end Victorians, dense multifamily, and downtown commercial means we have to know more than one playbook. After four decades of Paterson installs, we know all of them — and our crew is the same crew start to finish, whether it's a single-family Eastside primary bath or a four-unit landlord package. We field-measure, fabricate, and install with our own in-house crew — no subcontractors, no warranty pass-the-buck — and we've been doing it across Passaic County and North Jersey for over forty years.
