Custom Frameless Shower Doors & Enclosures

A leaky shower door is not just annoying. It can damage floors and drywall over time. We build frameless shower enclosures with tempered safety glass, cut and fitted for your exact bathroom.

Choose from neo-angle designs, sliding doors, or heavy glass shower and tub enclosures. We install hydro-slide hardware for smooth, quiet operation. Splash panels work well for open, doorless showers.

We measure every panel on site, not off a floor plan. That means fewer gaps and better water control. Most homeowners see a real difference in how clean and modern their bathroom looks within a day.

Custom Mirrors

Mirrors do more than reflect. The right mirror can make a small bathroom or closet feel twice the size.

We cut vanity mirrors to fit any counter, with beveled or sculpted edges if you want a custom look. LED-backlit mirrors add light without extra fixtures, perfect for makeup or shaving. Gym mirrors hold up to daily impact and cover full walls.

Need a mirror closet door? We build those to slide smooth for years. We handle mirror replacement, too, when glass cracks or the backing peels. For a classic look, ask about antique-style mirrors or full mirror walls for a dining room or hallway.

Glass Wine Cellars

A wine collection deserves protection and a way to show it off.

We build glass wine cellars with insulated glass panels that keep temperature steady inside. Thermal pane glass blocks outside heat and cold, so your wine stays at the right level. Display glass lets you see your collection without opening the door.

We work with homeowners who want a wine room in a basement, dining area, or under-stair space. We build every wine cellar to fit your space, not a standard size. We handle the glass and glazing work, then pair it with proper door seals for real climate control.

Storefront & Commercial Glass Installation & Repair

Storefronts take a beating from weather, break-ins, and daily wear. We repair and install storefront glass for shops and offices near Northbrook Court and the Willow Road corridor, where retail buildings see heavy foot traffic and need durable entryways.

Our crew handles aluminum framed entrances, glazed aluminum curtain walls, and structural glass curtain walls for larger commercial buildings.

Cracked panel? We swap it out fast so your business stays open. We install tempered safety glass for storefront doors, too, built for daily use. Fast turnaround matters when a broken window costs you customers and safety.

Commercial Glass Partitions / Office Partitions

Open floor plans look good, but sound and privacy still matter. We build glass partitions that split up office space without blocking light.

Frosted film or decorative film adds privacy where you need it. Clear panels keep the room open where you don't. Security film adds a layer of protection against break-ins and impact. Window film cuts glare and heat from afternoon sun.

We measure your space first, then design partitions that fit your layout, not a generic grid. Law offices, medical suites, and open workspaces all get partitions built to match how the team works.

Insulated Window Replacement & Repair

Foggy windows mean the seal has failed. That moisture between the panes will not go away on its own.

We replace foggy glass with new insulated glass units, sealed tight to stop condensation. Double pane windows cut down on drafts and outside noise. New insulated glass lowers energy bills, too, by keeping heat in during winter and out in summer.

We handle full window repair as well, from cracked panes to worn frames. If your windows feel drafty or your energy bill keeps climbing, it might be time for an upgrade.

Storm Windows and Screens

Chicago winters and summer storms put real stress on windows and screens. We install and repair storm windows that add a layer of protection against wind, cold, and rain.

A damaged screen lets bugs in and lets cool air out during summer. We patch torn screens or build new ones cut to fit your exact window frame.

Storm windows work well over older single-pane glass, adding insulation without a full replacement. If a screen keeps popping out of its track, we fix the frame, not just the mesh. Small repairs now save you a bigger cost later.

Glass Panel Railings

A glass railing keeps a deck, balcony, or staircase safe without blocking the view. We install tempered glass panels set in sturdy frames, built to code for outdoor and indoor use.

Glass railings work well on patios, pool areas, and interior stairs where you want light to pass through. They need less upkeep than wood or metal railings, just a wipe down now and then.

We measure your space and cut panels to fit the exact angle and slope of your stairs or deck. A clean glass railing can change how a whole room or yard feels.

Steam Shower Enclosures

A steam shower needs a tight seal to work right. We build steam shower enclosures with glass panels fitted close to stop steam from escaping.

Heavy glass doors and panels hold up to heat and moisture better than standard shower glass. We seal every edge to keep steam inside where it belongs, so your shower heats up fast and stays warm. Curved glass walls fit tight corners or custom layouts.

If you're planning a steam shower for a home gym or master bath, we design the enclosure around your space, not a stock size. Ask us about layout options before you build.

Welcome to Northbrook, IL

Located about 20 miles north of downtown Chicago in Cook County, Northbrook, Illinois is an upscale North Shore suburb of roughly 35,000 residents, incorporated in 1901 as "Shermerville" and renamed Northbrook in 1923. The village is famous as the self-proclaimed "Speed Skating Capital of the World" — its Northbrook Speed Skating Club has produced more than 20 Olympians and had a skater in every Winter Games from 1952 to 2018 — and as the real-life inspiration for filmmaker John Hughes's fictional "Shermer, Illinois," the setting of movies like The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Known for its excellent schools, the Northbrook Court shopping center, leafy parks, and a walkable downtown along Shermer Road, Northbrook blends quiet residential charm with easy access to the city via Metra and the Edens Expressway.
