Shower Door Installation in Boise, Idaho

Custom-measured frameless, semi-frameless, and sliding glass shower enclosures. 3rd generation glazier serving Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, and the entire Treasure Valley.

Boise's Custom Shower Door Specialists

If you're remodeling a bathroom in Boise or the Treasure Valley, the shower enclosure is one of the highest-impact decisions you'll make. A custom frameless glass enclosure makes a small bathroom feel larger, eliminates the mold and mildew that plagues curtain installations, and adds resale value to your home.

I'm Cole Watson, a 4th generation Idaho native and 3rd generation glazier. I custom-measure every shower opening myself, source heavy-duty tempered glass and premium hardware, and install with a lifetime workmanship warranty. No franchise pricing, no subcontractors, no surprises.

Types of Shower Doors We Install

Every bathroom is different. We help you choose the right enclosure for your space, budget, and style.

Frameless Shower Doors

The most popular modern choice. Heavy 3/8" or 1/2" tempered glass with minimal hardware โ€” typically just hinges, a handle, and a header bar. Clean lines, easy to clean, makes any bathroom feel larger.

  • Best for: master bath remodels, modern aesthetic
  • Glass: 3/8" or 1/2" tempered
  • Hardware: hinges, header bar, optional towel bar

Semi-Frameless Shower Doors

A practical middle ground โ€” slim metal framing around the perimeter with frameless main panels. More forgiving on out-of-square openings and more affordable than full frameless.

  • Best for: budget-conscious remodels, older homes
  • Glass: 1/4" or 3/8" tempered
  • Forgiving on out-of-square openings

Sliding Glass Shower Doors

Bypass-style sliders are ideal for tub/shower combinations and tight bathroom layouts where a swing door won't fit. Available in framed and semi-frameless designs.

  • Best for: tub conversions, tight spaces
  • Smooth ball-bearing rollers
  • Framed or semi-frameless options

Walk-In & Single-Panel

A single fixed panel of heavy glass โ€” no door, no track, no maintenance. Perfect for curbless walk-in showers and zero-entry designs popular in Boise's modern homes.

  • Best for: curbless / zero-entry showers
  • Glass: 3/8" or 1/2" tempered
  • No door = nothing to maintain

Neo-Angle Corner Enclosures

Three-panel corner enclosures that maximize floor space in smaller bathrooms. Frameless or semi-frameless options.

  • Best for: small bathrooms, corner installations
  • Custom-angled glass
  • Maximizes usable floor space

Steam Shower Enclosures

Full-height enclosures with proper steam-rated seals and ceiling integration. Built to handle daily steam without warping or seal failure.

  • Best for: spa-style master baths
  • Steam-rated hardware & seals
  • Full-height with proper ceiling integration

Glass & Hardware Options

Glass Choices

  • Clear tempered: The standard. Maximum light, shows everything.
  • Low-iron Starphire: Extra-clear glass with no green tint โ€” premium look for high-end remodels.
  • Frosted / acid-etched: Privacy without losing light. Great for primary baths in open floorplans.
  • Rain pattern: Textured for privacy with a decorative element.
  • Reeded / fluted: Vertical line texture, on-trend for modern and farmhouse styles.
  • Bronze or grey tinted: Subtle color for darker, dramatic bathrooms.

Hardware Finishes

  • Polished chrome
  • Brushed nickel
  • Matte black
  • Oil-rubbed bronze
  • Satin brass / champagne bronze
  • Polished brass
  • Gunmetal
  • Custom finishes by request

Shower Door FAQ

How much does a custom shower door cost in Boise?

Custom shower door pricing depends on opening size, glass thickness (3/8" or 1/2"), door type, and hardware finish. Because every bathroom is different, we provide a free in-home measure and a written quote within 24 to 48 hours. Call (208) 949-7019 or request a quote online to get pricing for your specific project.

How long does shower door installation take?

From measurement to installation, plan on 2 to 3 weeks. The first visit is a free in-home measure (about 30 minutes). Custom-tempered glass takes 2 to 3 weeks to fabricate. Installation is typically a single day, usually 3 to 5 hours depending on complexity.

What types of shower doors do you install?

We install frameless swing doors, semi-frameless sliding doors, single-panel walk-in (no-door) enclosures, neo-angle corner enclosures, and steam shower enclosures with full-height seals. Glass options include clear, low-iron Starphire (extra clear), frosted, rain, and textured patterns.

Do you serve areas outside Boise?

Yes. We install shower doors throughout the Treasure Valley including Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna, Star, and Garden City. We also handle larger custom projects in Twin Falls, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Coeur d'Alene, and Sun Valley.

Is the glass safe?

Yes. All our shower doors use 3/8" or 1/2" tempered safety glass that meets ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 Category II safety standards. Tempered glass is 4 to 5 times stronger than standard glass and breaks into small, blunt pieces if it ever fails.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. We offer a lifetime warranty on installation workmanship. Hardware carries a manufacturer warranty (typically 5 to 10 years depending on brand and finish). Glass is covered against manufacturing defects per the supplier.
