Custom Shower Doors For Lake Orion
Our showroom sits at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights, about 16 miles southeast of Lake Orion. We measure, fabricate, and install frameless, sliding, and swing glass enclosures, all built in-house with no sub-contracted glass.
Glass That Suits Your Home
Lake Orion runs the full range, from established lakeside homes near the village and older streets close to downtown to the newer subdivisions that have filled in along Baldwin and out toward Joslyn and Indianwood. A glass enclosure that flatters a 1990s colonial is not always the same one that suits a renovated cottage by the water, which is why we measure every opening on site rather than working from a catalog.
We bring the same in-house approach to Oakland County that we use everywhere we go. You see the glass and hardware in person, we cut and temper to your exact opening, and the same family that takes the measurements comes back to set the panels. Reaching you off M-24 or by way of the I-75 corridor is a short drive, and your project never gets handed to an outside crew.
Odd openings, and a tub in almost every Lake Orion house.
Lake Orion does not build one kind of house, and you learn that in the bathroom before you learn it anywhere else. One street hands you a settled older home with a bath about the size of a closet. The next hands you a newer master suite. For a town this size, the awkward openings outnumber the tidy ones.
What carries across all of it is the tub. Almost every house in town still has one somewhere, usually in the hall bath, and usually with the vanity or the swing of the door close enough to it that you notice every morning. The clear space between the tub deck and whatever sits nearest to it drives more of this decision than the style you walked in wanting.
The other thing worth naming is light. Houses here take in a lot of daylight, and the enclosure either passes it along or eats it. Heavy framing across a tub or an alcove throws away most of what the window gives you, and you read the result as a dark little bathroom rather than as a glass problem.
- Hall baths where the vanity or the door swing lands right against the tub
- Alcove tubs with a surround that was never true from the day it went in
- Settled openings that no longer measure the same at the top and the bottom
- Newer master suites with room for a walk-in opening and a full glass panel
Three Ways To Enclose A Shower
Frameless
Clean panels of 3/8" tempered glass with minimal hardware, a quiet, open look that suits both updated baths in older Lake Orion homes and newer master suites. The glass does the work, so the room feels larger and lighter.
Sliding (Barn-Style)
Top-mounted rollers glide on an exposed track for a relaxed, modern feel without a swinging panel. A good fit for tubs and narrower bathrooms where a hinged door would crowd the space.
Swing (Hinged)
A classic hinged door on a fixed panel or a stand-alone glass swing, sized to your alcove or corner. Dependable, familiar, and easy to live with day to day.

Measured In Your Home, Built In Ours
It starts with a free in-home measure. We come to you in Lake Orion, look at the actual opening, talk through how you use the space, and show you samples so you can see the finishes in your own light before anything is ordered. There is no pressure and no obligation to decide on the spot.
Once you choose your glass and metal, the same family fabricates the enclosure to your exact dimensions and returns to install it. Because the cutting, tempering, and setting all happen under one roof, the panels fit the way they were meant to, and you deal with the people who made them from first measure to final fitting.
- Free in-home measure, no obligation
- Hardware: matte black, brushed gold, chrome, nickel
- Glass: clear, low-iron, frosted, rain-textured
- 3/8" tempered glass throughout
- Cut and fabricated in-house
- Same family measures and installs
Which door belongs in which Lake Orion opening.
Start at the tub, because in most houses here that is where the decision actually sits. A tub opening in a narrow hall bath is the natural home for bathtub shower doors in Lake Orion, and when the vanity or the door lands tight against the tub, sliding shower doors are usually the answer, because nothing has to swing out into the room before you can get in.
After that it follows the age of the house. At the older end of the range, framed shower doors in Lake Orion earn their keep, because the frame carries tolerance for walls that have moved. A step along from there, semi-frameless shower doors keep some of that forgiveness and shed most of the metal. In a bright bath you want to feel larger, frameless shower doors hand the room its daylight back.
For the openings that match nothing, we build to them, which is the job custom glass shower enclosures exist for, corners and knee walls included. A true alcove with clear floor in front of it takes hinged shower doors comfortably. If the bath is being built for steam, steam shower enclosures run to the ceiling, with the generator side left to your mechanical trade. When the tile and walls are staying put, a straight shower door replacement is the whole project, set by our own glass shower door installation crew.
Settled walls, hard water, and a door you shoulder shut.
Older baths in Lake Orion move, and the enclosure is where you notice it. The frame was set to an opening that has since settled, so the panel drags on the low corner, the magnetic catch stops lining up, and you end up shouldering the thing closed every morning. Down at the bottom, the track holds water it was never meant to hold. Add the mineral load in the water here and the scale in that track stops coming off no matter what you scrub it with.
All of that history matters for the replacement, because the numbers on the original plan are worthless now. We measure what is in the room today, with a level on the walls and the curb, and build the panels to those numbers rather than to a nominal size off a chart. If the level finds soft tile or a curb that is no longer sound, that is a tile and waterproofing job for your other trade before glass goes back on it.
Sixteen miles up M-24, and we drive the glass ourselves.
Lake Orion sits about 16 miles from the family showroom at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights, and Oakland County is regular ground for us. The run up M-24 or through the I-75 corridor is routine, so the free in-home measure really is free, and it is worth doing before you settle on anything.
When your enclosure comes off the bench we load it and drive it up ourselves, which matters more than it sounds like it should when the cargo is tempered glass cut to one opening in one house. Call (586) 315-8900, text (586) 800-9481, or email [email protected]. The showroom is open Monday through Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 10 to 2.
Around Lake Orion.
We cover Lake Orion as part of a tight Oakland County service area rather than a map with pins scattered across the state. The closest cities to you that we also serve are Auburn Hills, Oakland Township, Rochester and Rochester Hills.
Everything runs out of one showroom, which is the point: the same family measures in Lake Orion, fabricates the glass in our own shop and installs it, whichever city the job is in. The full list of communities we cover is on the service area page, and if you do not see yours, call the showroom and ask.
Common questions.
Do you serve Lake Orion?
Yes. Lake Orion is roughly 16 miles from our Sterling Heights showroom, and we measure, build, and install throughout Oakland County. The drive up M-24 or the I-75 corridor is a routine one for us.
What does a custom shower door cost?
Price depends on the size of the opening, the enclosure style, the glass, and the hardware you choose. After a free in-home measure we give you a clear quote, so you see the number before you commit to anything.
How long does the process take?
Most projects move from in-home measure to install in a few weeks, since we fabricate the glass ourselves rather than wait on an outside supplier. We confirm the timeline for your specific job once the glass and finishes are selected.
Do you only supply the glass, or do you install too?
We handle the whole project: we measure in your home, fabricate the enclosure in-house, and our own team installs it. The glass is never sub-contracted, so one family is accountable from start to finish.
How do I keep the glass clear with the hard water around here?
Squeegee the panel after you shower and most of it never gets the chance to set. You are fighting mineral, not soap, so it builds fastest where water stands. If you would rather not think about it daily, frosted or rain glass hides spotting better than clear does, and we stock both.
My hall bath is narrow and the vanity is right beside the tub. What actually fits?
Usually a door that slides rather than one that swings, since nothing has to clear the vanity to open. We put a level on it and measure the tub and the alcove as they actually are, front clearance included, then tell you whether a swinging panel is realistic in that room.
My opening is out of square. Does that rule out glass?
No. Older bathrooms here do it constantly, and the level tells us how far off you are before anything is ordered. Some styles carry more tolerance than others, so how far the walls have moved is part of what steers the recommendation toward one door type.
What happens to the enclosure that is in there now?
It comes out and it leaves with us, so you are not left standing old panels against the garage wall. While the opening is bare we look at the wall behind it, and you hear what we found before any new glass goes up.
We are already remodeling the bathroom. When should you come out?
Talk to us early, then let the real measure wait until the tile is set and the walls are final, because that finished surface is what the glass gets cut to. Plumbing, tile and waterproofing stay with your other trades, and we build to whatever they leave us.
Do I have to come to Sterling Heights to see the glass and hardware?
No. We bring samples to your Lake Orion home so you can see glass and finishes in your own light, which is the only light that matters. You are welcome at the showroom on Van Dyke to see full enclosures standing up, Monday through Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 10 to 2.
