Shower doors for New Baltimore.
Custom frameless, sliding and swing glass enclosures, measured and installed by the same family that builds them. No sub-contracted glass, ever.
A custom enclosure, built for your New Baltimore bath.
New Baltimore sits right at the edge of our home turf, and we work here often. Whether you're off Washington Street, near the Anchor Bay shoreline, or out in one of the newer subdivisions, we bring the showroom to you with a free in-home measure.
Every enclosure starts with 3/8" tempered glass cut to your exact opening. No stock-size compromises, no gaps, no off-the-shelf fit. We measure once it's right, fabricate it our way, and install it ourselves.
Anchor Bay on one side, new construction inland.
The water is the first thing about this town. New Baltimore sits on Anchor Bay, holds onto a small-town feel, and keeps adding newer homes along the shoreline. That split shows up in the bathrooms we walk into. One measure is a lakeside primary bath with room to spare, and the next is an older house where a single tub is still doing all the work.
Those newer builds near the water tend to have generous primary baths, and the shower in them is rarely a simple rectangle. Corner entries, an angled wall, a bench built into one end. Those rooms need panels sized to the walls in front of them. The inland side keeps adding new construction as well, and we work into those build schedules often.
The older housing stock reads differently. Those houses have settled, and a tub that went in decades ago rarely sits dead level today. Out-of-square openings turn up regularly in the older stock here, which is why we check plumb and level at the measure rather than on installation day. That is normal for a house of that age. It just has to be known before anything is cut.

One family, start to finish.
We measure
A real person comes to your New Baltimore bathroom, checks the opening for plumb and level, and templates it down to the sixteenth.
We build
Your glass is cut and finished to that template. Clear, low-iron ultra-clear, satin frosted, or rain-textured, all 3/8" tempered.
We install
The same hands that measured and built set the hinges, seal the glass, and leave you a clean, dialed-in enclosure.

Odd shapes, tub openings, and what fits each.
Start with the shower you actually have. In the newer lakeside primary baths, where the enclosure turns a corner or runs at an angle, a custom glass shower enclosure is the honest answer, because every panel is cut to the wall in front of it. When the bath is the showpiece of the house, frameless shower doors in New Baltimore hold one clean sightline and let the tile carry the room. Where the swing path is clear, hinged shower doors give you a door that opens like a door, and the clearance gets walked on site before we cut anything.
Where one tub is doing everything, the door has to live over the tub. Bathtub shower doors are built for that opening, and a sliding shower door is usually the pick, because nothing swings into floor space you are already short on. If a steam unit is in the plan, a steam shower enclosure seals top to bottom, with the generator and the plumbing left to the trades that handle them.
In an older house where the opening has moved, a frame is an advantage. Framed shower doors put the metal to work holding the panel and making up for what the opening has lost, so it still closes clean, and semi-frameless shower doors land in between, most of the open look with some of that forgiveness. When the glass in there is finished, shower door replacement sets new custom glass in the same space, and glass shower door installation is one family from the measure to the last seal.
What settling does to a door that used to close.
The tells come in a familiar order. Seals go stiff and stop sealing, so water reaches the floor at the same corner every time. A bypass door picks up grit in the track and starts to drag instead of glide. Hard water in this part of Michigan leaves minerals on the glass until the panel looks gray no matter what you scrub it with, and past a point that haze is etched into the surface rather than sitting on top of it.
What is particular here is the settling underneath all of that. When a house has moved and the tub or curb no longer sits dead level, an old door fights it every day, and you can read it in the gap along one jamb. That matters for what goes back in. A stock-size door dropped into a shifted opening lands in the same trouble, so we check plumb and level at the measure and cut the new glass for what the walls are doing now, not what they did when the house was new.
Sterling Heights up to Anchor Bay.
The showroom is at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights, a drive to the southwest of New Baltimore, and it is the only place we work out of. There is no New Baltimore office. The same family that measures your bathroom cuts the glass on Van Dyke and comes back up to set it.
We are up this way often, including the inland side where new construction keeps going in. Start with the free in-home measure and a no-pressure quote, or come see 3/8 inch tempered glass and the finishes we stock in person, Monday through Friday 9 to 5 and Saturday 10 to 2. Call (586) 315-8900, text (586) 800-9481, or email [email protected].
Around New Baltimore.
Fortune serves Macomb County and the communities around it, so if you are close to the New Baltimore line we are already working on your street. Nearby we also build and install in Chesterfield Township, Harrison Township, Richmond and Mount Clemens.
Everything runs out of one showroom, which is the point: the same family measures in New Baltimore, 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 really serve New Baltimore?
Yes. New Baltimore is close to our Sterling Heights showroom on Van Dyke Ave, and we measure, build and install enclosures there regularly. Call (586) 315-8900 to set up a free measure.
Can you match a specific finish to my fixtures?
We carry matte black, brushed gold, polished chrome and brushed nickel hardware, so we can usually pull your enclosure in line with the faucets and trim you already have.
What glass options do I have?
All four (clear, low-iron ultra-clear, satin frosted and rain-textured) and every panel is 3/8" tempered. We'll show you samples in the light of your own bathroom.
Do you sub-contract the glasswork?
No. The same family measures, fabricates and installs every enclosure in-house. The person who quotes your New Baltimore project is the one who builds and sets it.
Our house is older and the tub does not sit level. Does that rule out a glass door?
No. Older New Baltimore homes settle, and a tub set decades ago often reads a little out of level. We check for plumb and level at the measure, before anything is cut, and the glass gets built to what the walls and the tub are doing today.
Our shower is not a rectangle. Can you still glass it in?
Yes, and it comes up a lot in the newer lakeside primary baths here. Corners, angled walls and built-in benches are all workable, because every panel is measured and cut to the wall in front of it. Every one is 3/8 inch tempered glass, in clear, low-iron, frosted or rain.
One tub is doing everything in our only bathroom. What goes over it?
A door built for a tub opening, and most often a slider, since nothing swings out into floor space you do not have. Clear glass keeps a small room feeling open, while frosted or rain glass buys privacy in a bathroom the whole house shares.
How far is New Baltimore from your showroom?
The showroom is at 42624 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Heights, a drive to the southwest, and New Baltimore sits comfortably inside the area we cover. We come to you for the free measure, so you do not need to make the drive to find out what fits.
We are finishing a new build on the inland side. When should we call about the glass?
While the bath is still in progress. Glass is templated off finished walls and a finished curb, so the measure lands after the tile and before you are living in the room. A heads up during the build lets us slot into that sequence instead of chasing it later.
What happens to the enclosure that is in there now?
It comes out and gets hauled away on install day, and the new glass goes into that same opening, cut for it. Plumbing, tile and waterproofing are other trades, so if something behind the wall needs attention we say so at the measure instead of glassing over it.
