Custom glass and mirror across Broward
Broward County runs from the coast at Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood inland through Davie, Plantation, and Coral Springs to the western communities of Weston, Pembroke Pines, and Miramar, and it includes a wide mix of housing and commercial stock. The glass and mirror requests that come up across that range are different — a waterfront condo in Fort Lauderdale has different conditions than a single-family home in Weston — but they share the same starting point: a specific opening that a standard panel will not fit. We fabricate glass to the dimensions of your space, and we offer fabrication with installation when the project calls for it. We serve Broward from our Miami studio and confirm availability for your specific area when you request an estimate.
The principle is the same one we work to across the region: measure the opening, understand the conditions around it, and fabricate a piece that fits. A shower enclosure is cut to the width and height of your opening. A stair railing is planned around the run and rise of your staircase. A mirror is sized to the wall or vanity it sits on. A storefront entrance is glazed to the existing frame. We do not promise a standard product off the shelf, and we do not ask you to adapt your space to one. The estimate starts with a conversation about the opening, and it is free — whether the project is in Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, or the western edge of the county.
Residential applications in the county
The residential requests we see most often in Broward begin with frameless shower doors & enclosures. A frameless enclosure is built from thick tempered glass with minimal hardware, and every opening — a master bath in a Weston single-family home, a compact bath in a Fort Lauderdale condo — has its own width, height, and swing clearance. We measure the opening and fabricate to it so the door closes cleanly against the return and the hardware lands where it should. Planning a shower also means thinking about the wall condition behind the glass, the floor material and pitch toward the drain, and the clearance for the door to open without striking a vanity or a fixture.
In multi-story homes across Plantation, Coral Springs, and Davie, stair glass railings come up where an open stair wants light and sight lines in place of solid balusters. Our confirmed scope is the glass railing — the balustrade, the supporting hardware, and the integration with the existing staircase — not the structural stair treads or the complete staircase. We coordinate with your contractor on the mounting conditions at the landing, the pitch of the staircase, and how the top rail continues or terminates. On exterior applications, balcony glass railings serve a similar purpose at the balcony edge, and the assembly and glass specification depend on the opening and the exposure to coastal conditions that increase as you move east.
Mirrors are a regular residential request. A custom mirror is cut to the wall or vanity it sits on, whether that is a wide double vanity in a master bath or a full wall mirror in a home gym. Where the edge should catch light and frame the reflective field, beveled mirrors add an angled edge that refracts light along the bevel. We also fabricate custom glass table tops for dining tables, consoles, and desks, including a protective top laid over an existing wood surface, cut to the table's dimensions and finished with a polished edge so the glass does not chip at the corners. For interior separation, custom interior glass & panels defines spaces while keeping daylight moving through the floor plan.
Commercial applications in the county
On the commercial side, Broward's retail and office market keeps glass in steady demand. Commercial storefront glass defines a storefront's first impression — the entrance doors, the display glazing, the facade — and we fabricate to the opening and the finish the project requires, often coordinating around an existing frame and an entrance that has to swing correctly. Inside, office glass partitions create private rooms and meeting areas while preserving the daylight that reaches the interior; we plan the layout around the floor plan, the door swings, and the points where the partition meets an existing wall or column.
We do not promise soundproofing or fire ratings on partitions without verified specifications, and we do not represent that any partition is switchable or access-controlled unless that is confirmed for the project. Where an opening calls for impact-rated glazing, impact glass is specified as part of an appropriate, engineered assembly — the glass, the frame, the attachment, and the documentation all work together. Laminated glass and impact-rated glass are related but not the same; lamination alone does not establish an impact rating. The right assembly for a Broward opening depends on the building and the local requirements, which we review with you. We do not represent glass as unbreakable or hurricane-proof, and we do not invent product approvals or pressure ratings — we review the conditions and propose an assembly that fits them. For openings where the existing glass has failed or the building is being updated, window replacement is a separate scope that depends on whether the frame is sound and whether the opening calls for a different glass type.
Fabrication only, or fabrication with installation
Most of our work can be ordered either as fabrication only or as fabrication with installation, and the right scope is a project decision. A contractor in Broward who already has a glazing crew on site may want us to fabricate the panels to spec and hand them off. A homeowner replacing a single shower usually wants us to measure, fabricate, and install so the responsibility for fit sits in one place. We are glad to talk through which makes sense for your project before you commit.
The same logic applies to window replacement, where replacing the glass in an existing frame and replacing the entire window assembly are different scopes, and the correct one depends on the frame condition and the building's requirements. For a stair or balcony railing, the scope may include fabrication of the glass and hardware, installation on site, or both — and whether the existing mounting surface is suitable is something we review before proposing the assembly. Fabrication-only orders are common for contractors and designers who have their own install team; fabrication-with-installation is common for homeowners and for commercial properties that want a single point of accountability. Neither is better by default; the right one is the one that fits the project, and we are glad to talk through it before you decide.
What affects scope and estimate
The estimate on a glass or mirror project in Broward is shaped by the same specifics as anywhere else. The dimensions of the opening are the first variable: a 36-inch shower door and a 60-inch enclosure are different amounts of glass, different hardware, and different handling. The glass type — clear, low-iron, pattern, or a tint — changes the material. The edge treatment matters; a flat polished edge and a beveled edge are different operations. Hardware and finish on a frameless shower, mounting conditions on a stair railing, and the number of openings on a storefront job all feed the estimate.
Installation adds labor, travel from the studio to the site, and access considerations — which in Broward can mean a curb and driveway in Coral Springs or an elevator reservation and a certificate of insurance on the Fort Lauderdale waterfront. We fold all of that into a quote only after we understand the project, which is why estimates are free and begin with a conversation rather than a flat price list. A number built on assumptions is a number that breaks when the install day arrives; we would rather have the conversation up front and come back with an estimate that holds.
Measurements and the information we need
For a fabricated-to-spec piece of glass, the measurement is the foundation of the job. For an installation, we typically measure on site so the panel is cut to the opening as built, not as drawn. The more you can share up front, the faster we can advise. A photo of the opening, the rough width and height, the type of service you are after, and the city or ZIP code where the work is located let us confirm service availability for Broward and start a realistic conversation about scope.
For commercial work, the building address and access notes — hours, loading, parking — help us plan the site visit. For a shower, the wall material behind the glass and the floor pitch matter. For a railing, the mounting surface at the base and the landing matter. For a mirror, the wall condition and whether it is a vanity or a full wall matter. You do not have to know all of that before you call — that is our job — but anything you can share shortens the path to a useful estimate. You can send all of it through the estimate form on this page, and we will come back with questions or a quote.
Access and installation planning
Installation planning changes from city to city across Broward. A high-rise on the Fort Lauderdale waterfront usually means coordinating with the building on a certificate of insurance, an elevator reservation, and working hours; a single-family home in Coral Springs or Weston is a curb and a driveway. Condominium rules, parking, and the route from the loading area to the unit all shape the install day. We do not invent those constraints — we ask about them and plan around them.
If your project is in a managed building, telling us the property's requirements early keeps the estimate and the schedule realistic, and it avoids a surprise on the day of the install. Some buildings require a scheduled appointment for any contractor work; some require a certificate of insurance on file before a trade can enter. Some have restrictions on the hours a glass installation can run, or on which elevator can be used for material. None of that is unusual for South Florida, and none of it should be a surprise on the day of the install. We plan for it so the day goes the way it should.
Care and maintenance
Glass is a durable surface, but the details matter. On a frameless shower, squeegeeing the glass after use and keeping the hardware dry prevents hard-water buildup and keeps the door closing cleanly. South Florida water is hard, and a frameless shower that is not squeegeed will show it within a few weeks. On a stair or balcony railing, the glass and hardware should be cleaned with a non-abrasive glass cleaner; abrasive pads scratch the surface and can dull a hardware finish, which is more visible on the coast where salt air is a factor. Mirrors do best with a lint-free cloth and a streak-free cleaner, with the edges kept dry.
A glass table top protects the surface beneath it but should sit on a clean, level surface and be lifted rather than dragged. None of this is specialized — it is ordinary care with the right materials, and we walk through it for the specific piece we made. If a piece of hardware loosens over time, or a seal on a shower door needs attention, that is something we want to know about. We fabricate to last, and we are a phone call away if something needs a second look.
Working from our Miami studio
We are based at 4480 NW 73rd Ave, Miami, FL 33166, in the Milam Industrial Center, which puts us a short drive south of the Broward line via the Florida Turnpike and I-95. We do not keep a branch office in Broward; the work is fabricated at the studio and delivered or installed on site. If you would like to visit the studio, it helps to call ahead so we can have the right samples or drawings ready.
We serve residential and commercial customers across the county and confirm service availability for your specific city or neighborhood when you request an estimate. Broward is a wide county, and conditions vary from the coast to the western communities, so confirming the area up front is how we make sure the estimate reflects the project. Whether the work is a single shower door in Weston or a storefront job in Hollywood, the conversation starts the same way: you tell us about the opening, and we tell you what we can do.
Next steps
If you have a glass or mirror project in Broward, the simplest first step is to tell us about it. Share the service you need, the city or ZIP code where the work is located, and a few measurements or photos if you have them. We will confirm that we cover your area, review the scope, and come back with a free estimate and a clear view of whether installation is included. You can request a free estimate from this page or call us directly — either way, the conversation starts the project, and the estimate does not cost anything.
