Bay Harbor Islands is a quiet two-island community just off the Broad Causeway — family homes, a walkable main street, and a real small-town feel minutes from Bal Harbour. We build every enclosure to your exact opening, measuring, cutting and installing each panel ourselves with Florida-code tempered safety glass and hardware in the finish you choose. From the Bay Harbor Islands town center out to the waterfront homes along the bay, our fit seals tight against the tile and our finishes hold up to South Florida humidity.
Every job measured, cut & installed by our own in-house licensed team.
Backed by a written workmanship warranty — we stand behind every install.
Honest, itemized quotes before any work begins. No pressure, no surprises.
Bay Harbor Islands is the kind of place where reputation matters, and ours is built on the same standard every visit. No subcontractors — here's what shows up at your door.
Bay Harbor Islands homes range from updated mid-century to brand-new construction — and we tailor every cut, angle and finish to your specific layout, tile and style.
Frameless glass opens up the bathroom footprint, drawing in light and making even a smaller family bath feel brighter, larger and more contemporary.
No tracks or rails means no collection points for soap scum and hard-water stains. A quick squeegee keeps the glass spotless for years — low maintenance, longer life.
Even well-maintained enclosures need service over time. Seals wear out, hardware corrodes in the salt air, a door settles out of plumb. Before assuming it's replacement time, let us look — if a repair does the job, that's what we'll recommend, with a clear quote either way.
Bay Harbor Islands occupies two islands in Biscayne Bay, split by the Broad Causeway on its run from Miami's upper east side toward the beaches. The east island carries the condo towers; the west island holds one of South Florida's best collections of 1940s and '50s single-family homes on tight, shaded lots. Nearly all of it sits a short walk from Kane Concourse and the Bay Harbor Shops — these are the blocks our crews work every week.
The high-rise addresses along the causeway approaches, where builder-grade framed sliders and bypass doors upgrade beautifully on standard openings. High-rise work is its own discipline — elevator reservations, certificate-of-insurance packets, floor and lobby protection — and our crews arrive with every page of it handled before install day.
The original postwar village — frame and masonry homes from the 1940s and '50s on lots small enough to hear a neighbor's radio. The bathrooms were built compact and plain, and the original framed tub doors are aging out street by street. Framed-to-frameless conversions modernize these rooms without touching tile or plumbing.
The main street the village walks to — boutiques, cafés and professional offices steps from the front doors on both islands. Households here book measure windows the way they book dinner reservations, and they expect the crew to land inside them. We schedule to the walkable rhythm, not against it.
The family streets around the Ruth K. Broad K–8 Center and the village green, where households run on school calendars and shared hall baths. The classic package on these blocks: frameless in the primary, a slider or tub screen in the hall, one install day while the kids are at school, one warranty covering both.
The homes that look straight out over Biscayne Bay and the finger canals, where the salt air grades every hardware spec on the street. PVD-coated solid brass and stainless hold their surface here while plated lines pit within a few seasons — we quote the marine-grade spec where the address earns it, and only where it does.
The addresses tucked against the bridge approaches and the Bal Harbour line, minutes from Bal Harbour's services and Surfside's contractor row. Owners here often hold property on both sides of the causeway — one call covers the tower unit and the single-family home in the same week's schedule.
Two islands means two housing stocks and two bathroom stories. The east island's towers went up in waves from the 1950s to the last decade, and most still carry builder-grade framed doors that upgrade beautifully on standard openings — a measure-and-swap that reads like a full renovation. The west island's postwar homes hold the village's character in compact baths, where the original framed tub doors have finally run out of refurbishing. Walls that settled over seventy years get templated, not assumed; that is the difference between a gap-free fit and a call-back.
The island setting writes the rest of the spec. This is a coastal flood zone, and the village enforces its opening and glass requirements accordingly — every enclosure we install uses Florida-code tempered safety glass with the documentation your permit file or insurer wants. Hardware gets the salt-air test: on the water side of either island, PVD-coated solid brass and stainless are the standing prescription; a few blocks inland, every finish performs and the choice is purely style and budget.
Compact is the norm here, and compact is where frameless glass performs best. Small lots mean small bathrooms, so sliding systems where a swinging door can't clear the vanity, tub screens where the tub stays, and panels that carry light instead of blocking it are everyday solutions rather than special orders. And because the walk-to-the-Shops lifestyle runs on tight calendars, measures get booked into real windows — early, evening or midday — and installs land inside them.
What Bay Harbor Islands homeowners tell us they value most is a shop that treats a nine-hundred-square-foot cottage and a fifteenth-floor condo with the same seriousness — because here, they share a zip code and often a family. That is the standard we hold on every island address: free in-home estimates with itemized written quotes that hold, a written warranty on everything we install, crews that answer in English or Spanish, and install days that end with a care walkthrough instead of a cleanup request. In a village this small, referrals walk from tower to tower and porch to porch; we install like we know it, because we do.
An island village enforces its opening and glass rules seriously. Every spec we quote is code-correct tempered safety glass with the documentation your permit, association or insurance file expects — no surprises at inspection.
Elevator reservations and association packets for the high-rises, tight morning windows for the walkable west island households. Both islands book into real calendars; the crew lands inside the window it promised.
Estimates, contracts and warranty documents in either language, with Spanish-speaking members on every crew that works the islands. The village talks both ways; so do we.
Templated to your opening, fabricated in-house, installed by our own crews — 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass with solid-brass hardware in every major finish. The upgrade that carries a whole bathroom without touching tile or plumbing.
Builder-grade upgrades on standard tower openings, with the logistics handled: certificates of insurance returned to management, elevators reserved, corridors protected, installs inside the building's allowed windows. The association notices nothing but the glass.
West island footprints put the vanity an arm's length from the tub. Frameless sliding systems, tub screens and short-return panels make compact baths work beautifully — the glass disappears and the room doubles visually.
Frameless tub screens where the tub stays, full walk-in conversions where it goes — coordinated with your plumber on the pan and valve. Most projects run about two weeks template-to-install, rushed when a closing date demands it.
Leaks past worn sweeps, salt-seized rollers, doors that dropped out of plumb — most fixed in a single visit, usually the same week you call. If a ninety-dollar part saves the enclosure, that is the quote you get.
Beveled and back-lit vanity mirrors, glass shelves and niche covers cut to your walls — finished to match the enclosure hardware, usually installed the same visit. One measure covers the whole room.
305-521-3949 or the form. Repairs with classic symptoms get phone quotes; custom work books a free in-home measure. Condo owners: give us the building name up front so the insurance and elevator paperwork starts moving early.
We digitize the opening, note where seventy years of settling left the walls, and confirm glass and hardware with samples in hand — salt-rated on the bay side, every finish inland. You see the spec before you sign it.
Five to seven business days, all of it in-house — coated, clear, low-iron and patterned glass. Rush slots exist for closing dates and season departures; say the word early and the schedule bends.
One visit, two to four hours, clean site, working shower. Care walkthrough, warranty registration, and a direct line that answers afterward — not a queue.
On the islands the setting does half the voting — flood-zone rules and bay salt — and your style gets the rest. The guidance we give on Bay Harbor Islands measures.
Every panel is Florida-code tempered safety glass, full stop. We hand you the documentation with the quote — the pages the village, your association and your insurer ask for — so a bathroom upgrade never becomes a permit headache later.
Bayfront and canal-edge streets pit plated hardware within a few seasons; PVD-coated solid brass and stainless hold. Two blocks inland, chrome and every designer finish perform fine. We spec for the street you are actually on, not the worst case on the island.
Standard clear glass carries a faint green edge that reads strongest against white tile; low-iron glass is truly colorless. For a white-stone tower primary, low-iron is worth every dollar — for the west island hall bath, standard clear is the sensible call. We show both at the measure.
Bay air plus municipal water films glass faster than inland addresses. A factory hydrophobic coating keeps the film from bonding, so cleaning stays one squeegee pass instead of a scrubbing session — on island enclosures it is the highest-value line on the quote.
Family floors and guest baths on small lots run on one room at a time. Satin and rain-glass panels keep the light and drop the silhouettes — modest cost, real peace, and the most requested option after the enclosure itself.
Postwar floor plans put the vanity, the door and the toilet in a five-foot conversation. Frameless sliding systems solve it with sealed stainless rollers and one-finger operation that stays one-finger for years — the look, with zero swing space.
Bay Harbor Islands can buy glass from a dozen trucks with a phone number on the side. What it cannot buy everywhere is the combination: employees on every job instead of subcontractor roulette, glass fabricated to the template instead of the estimate, paperwork that clears association management before anyone asks, and hardware specified for the exact exposure — bayfront PVD or inland chrome. The fifteenth-floor condo and the 1950s cottage get the same crew standards, the same written warranty and the same direct service line behind both.
We stock the wear parts for everything we install on the islands, so a salt-worn sweep or a tired roller years from now is one short visit — not a hunt through discontinued-part catalogs. Our crews cross the causeway weekly, which makes your install window a real commitment rather than a courtesy guess. From the towers to the village green, the standard holds: measure exactly, fabricate in-house, install once, stand behind it in writing.
Yes — that paperwork is routine for us. Send the building's requirements when you book and we return the certificate of insurance, elevator reservation and protection plan before the crew rolls. Installs land inside the tower's allowed windows, and the unit is left broom-clean for the association's walk-through.
Not for us. Settled, out-of-plumb walls are expected in postwar homes, which is why we template every opening digitally instead of cutting to a tape measure. The glass is fabricated to the wall you actually have, so panels sit flush and gap-free even where the room has drifted off square over seventy years.
The glass in every enclosure we install is Florida-code tempered safety glass, documented for your permit or insurance file. Openings that affect the building envelope follow the village's permit process — we spec to whatever your project calls for and the paperwork comes with the quote.
Yes — small baths are where frameless glass performs best, opening sightlines and carrying light through the room. Where a swinging door can't clear the vanity, a frameless slider gives you the same look with zero swing space.
Most leaks are failed sweeps, worn caulk or a salt-seized roller — stocked on the van and fixed in a single visit, usually the same week you call. Households down to one working bathroom get priority scheduling.
Sí — estimates, contracts and warranty documents in either language, and Spanish-speaking members on every crew that works the islands. The village talks both ways; so do we.
Always — one measure covers the unit or the house, and combining bathrooms into one install day saves trips we pass back in the price. The common island package: frameless in the primary, a slider or tub screen in the hall, one day, one warranty.
No — measures and installs are booked in real windows, not all-day guesses. Installs run two to four hours; we confirm the window the day before and call on approach, so the walk to Kane Concourse still happens on schedule.
