Miami Shores is all about character — tree-lined streets, vintage bungalows, revival homes with bathrooms that deserve a thoughtful touch. A frameless enclosure modernizes a character bath without erasing its charm, and our in-house crew templates every opening to fit walls that are rarely perfectly square. Florida-code tempered glass, premium hardware in your finish, and a fit that holds up to South Florida humidity — from the Miami Shores Country Club out through the village's tree-lined blocks.
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.
When our crew steps into your Miami Shores home, here's what you get — careful work, clear communication, and a finish that honors the space, every time.
Miami Shores homes have personality, and your shower should match. We tailor every panel and finish to your tile and era — whether it's a 1930s bungalow or a modern revival build.
Older baths can feel enclosed. Frameless glass opens the sightline, bringing in light and making even a modest Miami Shores bathroom feel airy and updated.
No tracks means no trapped soap scum or mildew — a real plus in a humid village climate. A fast squeegee keeps the glass clear for years with barely any effort.
Character homes come with character plumbing, settling walls and aging enclosures. Seals dry out, hardware tarnishes, and doors slip out of plumb as older structures shift. We'll give you an honest read: if a repair restores it, that's our first recommendation. If replacement is the wiser move, we'll tell you why — with a clear, fair quote either way.
Miami Shores is one of South Florida's true historic villages — Mediterranean Revival homes from the 1920s and '30s under a canopy the village charts tree by tree, all wrapped around its country club circle. Old houses make exacting glass work; these are the streets where we do it every week.
The original village streets — arches, barrel tile, plaster walls that have been settling for ninety years. Bathrooms here carry non-standard dimensions and beautiful old tile worth protecting; every enclosure is templated to the room as it actually is, not as the 1929 drawing promised.
The blocks wrapping the golf course carry the village's showcase homes — primaries renovated to the era's standards, full-height panels and period-correct hardware that reads 1930 and performs like tomorrow.
The northeastern blocks near the campus mix faculty homes, longtime owners and student-adjacent rentals. Semester-calendar turnarounds for landlords, proper renovations for the owners — one village, both registers.
The eastern blocks toward the water carry the salt gradient — hardware becomes a chemistry decision before it's a design one. PVD and stainless near the bay; every finish performs a mile inland. Priced for the street you're on.
The postwar infill — 1950s-'60s ranches tucked between the revivals — where the framed tub sliders are aging out street by street. Framed-to-frameless conversions and honest repair-first assessments, priced for the households that actually live here.
The western boundary along the boulevard, where apartments and investor units run on turnover calendars. Duty-grade packages that survive tenant after tenant, repairs slotted between leases — one call keeps a portfolio glassed and rented.
Miami Shores housing predates the framed shower door. The 1920s-'30s Mediterranean Revivals were built with tubs, curtains and plaster walls that have been moving — slowly, honestly, continuously — ever since. That's why templating is the whole game here: we digitize every opening to the eighth of an inch and fabricate to the measured geometry, so the glass fits the room your house actually is. Out-of-plumb walls in a ninety-year-old bathroom aren't a problem; they're the Tuesday schedule.
The village guards its character — architectural review, protected canopy, era-conscious renovations. Bathrooms follow the same instinct: original tile preserved where it's sound, enclosures chosen to sit respectfully against it, hardware in finishes that read period — unlacquered brass, brushed nickel, oil-rubbed bronze — while performing to modern standards. We fabricate to the reconciled spec: your architect's drawings, the room as built, and the village's expectations, all three honored.
The mid-century pockets and the boulevard-edge apartments run more standard — framed sliders at end-of-life, conversions that modernize without touching tile, duty-grade packages for the rentals. The same crews, the same fabrication, the same written warranty; only the register changes.
What Shores homeowners tell us they value most is workmanship that respects the house — crews who protect the terrazzo, patch nothing, and leave the site cleaner than they found it. Estimates are free, in English or Spanish, and the number written at the measure is the number on the invoice. In a village this protective of its own history, our reputation arrives before the van does — we install like we know it.
Plaster walls, settled openings, irreplaceable tile — we template the room as built and fabricate to the measurement. Nothing patched, nothing forced, nothing that fights the house's ninety years of settling.
Unlacquered brass that patinas honestly, brushed nickel and oil-rubbed bronze that read 1930 — on solid-brass bodies with modern seals. Era on the surface, today underneath.
Estimates, contracts and warranty documents in either language, with Spanish-speaking members on every crew. The Shores works the way Miami talks — so do we.
Templated to your opening — settling and all — 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, era-correct included.
The Shores specialty: non-standard openings over original tile, glass cut to dimensions the 1920s plumber never wrote down, and hardware finishes that sit respectfully against ninety-year-old plaster.
Frameless tub screens that retire the curtain where the clawfoot or cast-iron tub stays, full walk-in conversions where it goes — coordinated with your plumber on the pan and valve. Most jobs run two weeks template-to-install.
Leaking sweeps, off-track rollers, sagging doors and chipped glass — most fixed in a single visit, usually the same week. If a ninety-dollar part saves the enclosure, that's the quote you get.
Duty-grade packages for the boulevard-edge and campus-adjacent units, timed to lease calendars and semester breaks. One call keeps a portfolio glassed and rented.
Beveled and back-lit vanity mirrors, glass shelves and niche covers — cut to your walls, finished to match the enclosure hardware, usually the same visit.
305-521-3949 or the form — in English or Spanish. Repairs with classic symptoms get phone quotes; custom work books a free in-home measure at a time that fits the household.
We digitize the opening to the eighth of an inch — the settled plaster, the patched tile, the geometry ninety years produced — and confirm glass and finishes with samples in hand.
Five to seven business days — clear, low-iron, coated and patterned glass all in-house, cut to the non-standard dimensions old bathrooms love.
One visit, two to four hours, terrazzo protected, clean site, working shower. Care walkthrough, warranty registration, and a direct line that answers afterward.
In a village of registered-era homes, the glass spec is a preservation decision as much as a design one. The guidance we give on Miami Shores measures.
Unlacquered brass patinas honestly against original tile and reads more right every year; brushed nickel and oil-rubbed bronze sit quietly in the Revival bathrooms. Chrome is the honest value where era doesn't rule. All of it on solid-brass bodies — era on the surface, modern seals underneath.
On the eastern blocks, salt grades the spec: PVD-coated solid brass and stainless hold their surface near the water, while plated lines pit within a few seasons regardless of the installer. A mile inland, every finish performs. We quote for the street you're on — and the era your house wears.
Standard clear glass carries a faint green edge that reads strongest against white tile; low-iron glass is colorless. Against the period pastels and white subway of the Revival baths, low-iron is worth every dollar — for the workhorse hall, standard clear is the sensible call. We show both at the measure.
County water leaves its signature fast on daily-use showers, and old pipes don't soften it. A factory hydrophobic coating keeps scale from bonding and cleaning to one squeegee pass — the highest-value line on the quote, especially where the tile is irreplaceable.
Village households run on shared bathrooms before school and the club. Satin and rain-glass panels keep the light and drop the silhouettes — modest cost, real morning peace, the most requested option after the enclosure itself.
Depression-era floor plans put the vanity an arm's length from the tub. Frameless sliding systems solve the swing problem with sealed stainless rollers and one-finger operation that stays one-finger for years.
Miami Shores can buy glass from a dozen trucks with a phone number painted on the side. What it can't buy everywhere is the combination: employees on every job instead of subcontractor roulette, glass fabricated to the template instead of the estimate, finishes specified to sit respectfully against ninety-year-old rooms, and quotes that don't move after they're signed. The Revival primary gets the same crew standards as the boulevard-edge rental; both get the written warranty and the direct service line behind it.
We stock the wear parts for everything we install in this village, so a worn sweep or a tired roller years from now is one short visit — not a hunt through discontinued-part catalogs. And because our crews run Shores routes weekly, your install window is a real commitment, not a courtesy guess. From the country club circle to the bay-side blocks, the standard is the same: measure exactly, fabricate in-house, install once, stand behind it in writing.
Yes — that's what templating is for. We digitize the opening to the eighth of an inch and fabricate to the measured geometry, so the glass fits the room your house actually is. Out-of-plumb plaster walls are a normal Tuesday in this village; nothing gets patched or forced.
Yes — the Shores specialty. Enclosures are templated over sound original tile and anchored to protect it, with glass cut to dimensions the 1920s plumber never wrote down. The tile stays; the curtain goes.
Unlacquered brass patinas honestly and reads more right every year; brushed nickel and oil-rubbed bronze sit quietly in the era rooms; chrome is the honest value where period doesn't rule. All on solid-brass bodies with modern seals — era on the surface, today underneath.
Sí — estimates, contracts and warranty documents in either language, and Spanish-speaking members on every crew. The Shores works the way Miami talks; so do we.
Most leaks are failed sweeps or caulk — stocked on the van and fixed in a single visit, usually the same week you call. Households with one working bathroom get priority scheduling.
Yes — send the academic calendar and we build the schedule backward from move-in. Duty-grade packages survive tenant after tenant, and stocked wear parts keep maintenance to one short visit between leases.
Always — one measure covers the house, and combining bathrooms into one install day saves trips we pass back in the price. The common package: frameless in the primary, a slider or semi-frameless in the hall, one day, one warranty.
On the eastern blocks, yes — the salt gradient is real. We default to PVD-coated solid brass and stainless near the water, because plated lines pit within a few seasons no matter who installs them. A mile inland, every finish performs and the choice is purely style and budget.
