Reasons for Shower Door Cost Variances

Glass shower door installers use a combination of methods to evaluate and price projects. They take several factors into consideration that impact the cost of the project, including:

• Door Type. Door type is the primary cost consideration. Some shower doors are more complex than others and will be more expensive.


• Ease of installation. If the door you would like to have installed is more difficult or time consuming to install, the cost of the project will increase. Is this is a new installation or a shower door replacement? Does the old shower door need to be removed first?


• Custom designs. If the glass needs to be fabricated to fit a custom size shower, this will increase the price. Standard sized doors that can be easily found in big box stores will be almost always be cheaper.


• Geography. If you are in a high cost area or in an area that is difficult to reach (more travel time), then costs will generally be higher.
