Expert Shower Door Installation in Portland
Clear Works Glass specializes in custom shower door installation for Portland homes. Whether you're renovating a master bathroom, updating a guest bath, or converting a tub to a walk-in shower, our experienced glaziers deliver professional installation with attention to detail. We install frameless shower doors, semi-frameless enclosures, and custom glass shower systems designed specifically for your bathroom layout.
Frameless shower doors have become the most popular choice for Portland bathroom remodels. The clean, minimalist design makes bathrooms feel larger and more luxurious while providing easy cleaning and maintenance. Unlike traditional framed shower doors with metal channels that trap soap scum and mildew, frameless doors feature large glass panels with minimal hardware, creating a spa-like atmosphere in your home.

We work with all bathroom styles from modern contemporary to traditional craftsman, and we specialize in custom solutions for unique layouts. Our shower door services include in-home measurements, custom glass fabrication, professional installation, and complete cleanup. We use only tempered safety glass that meets all Portland building codes and Oregon safety standards.
Every shower door installation begins with a free in-home consultation where we measure your shower opening, discuss glass options and hardware finishes, and provide a detailed estimate. We custom-fabricate each shower door to exact specifications, ensuring a perfect fit even in older Portland homes with non-standard openings or uneven walls. Our installers are experienced professionals who take pride in delivering quality workmanship and excellent customer service.

Shower Door Installation FAQs
Common questions about shower door installation in Portland
How much does shower door installation cost in Portland?
Shower door installation costs in Portland typically range from $800 to $2,500 depending on size, glass thickness, and hardware finish. Standard frameless shower doors (48" wide) average $1,200-$1,800 installed. Semi-frameless doors are more affordable at $800-$1,200. Custom enclosures for large walk-in showers or unique layouts cost $2,000-$3,500. We provide free in-home measurements and estimates for all shower door projects in the Portland metro area.
What is the difference between frameless and semi-frameless shower doors?
Frameless shower doors have no metal framing around the glass panels, only minimal hardware at hinges and handles. This creates a clean, modern look and makes the bathroom feel more spacious. Semi-frameless doors have a metal frame around the perimeter but frameless glass panels. They cost 20-30% less than fully frameless while still providing a contemporary appearance. Both use tempered safety glass and are equally durable.
How long does shower door installation take?
Most shower door installations in Portland are completed in 3-5 hours. The process includes removing old shower doors (if applicable), preparing the shower opening, installing the new glass panels and hardware, and sealing all edges. Custom shower enclosures may take 6-8 hours depending on complexity. We typically schedule installation 1-2 weeks after your initial measurement appointment to allow time for glass fabrication.
What glass thickness should I choose for my shower door?
For frameless shower doors, we recommend 3/8" tempered glass as the standard option. It provides excellent durability and is the most cost-effective choice. For a more premium feel, 1/2" tempered glass is heavier and more substantial but costs 20-30% more. Semi-frameless doors can use 1/4" glass since the frame provides additional support. All shower glass is tempered for safety and meets Portland building codes.
Can you install shower doors in older Portland homes?
Yes, we specialize in shower door installation for older Portland homes including historic properties in Irvington, Alameda, Laurelhurst, and other neighborhoods. Older homes often have non-standard shower openings or uneven walls. We custom-measure each installation and can accommodate out-of-plumb walls, sloped ceilings, and unique layouts. Our experienced installers have worked on hundreds of historic Portland homes and understand the challenges of older construction.
How do I clean and maintain frameless shower doors?
Clean frameless shower doors weekly with a squeegee after each shower to prevent water spots and soap scum buildup. For deeper cleaning, use a mixture of white vinegar and water or a commercial glass cleaner. Avoid abrasive cleaners that can scratch the glass. We recommend applying a glass treatment like Rain-X or EnduroShield to make cleaning easier and prevent hard water stains. With proper maintenance, frameless shower doors will look new for 15-20 years.
Do you offer warranties on shower door installation?
Yes, Clear Works Glass provides a warranty on all shower door installations in Portland. Our workmanship warranty covers installation defects for 1 year. The glass itself carries a manufacturer warranty against defects. Hardware (hinges, handles, towel bars) is warranted for 1-5 years depending on the manufacturer. We stand behind our work and will address any issues that arise after installation.
