Frameless shower enclosure
I can't stand my shower enclosure anymore....all the framing collects mold and water sits in the crevices! And I squigee after every shower and clean it often.
I thought a nice frameless shower enclosure might alleviate the problem and is visually more appealing...maybe good for resale when the time comes...
So my question to all of you is has anyone had this done and can recommend a good company? I've already contact Glass Doctor and Lowe's.
Any help is appreciated!

We had one put in in April and we LOVE it. It has given our bathroom such a bright, clean appearance. I highly recommend it.

It really is worth every penny. We lie in a1967 house - built before the era of large luxurious baths. Our was small and dark even with a window, a large mirror and white walls. It got so I that I hated to take a shower in there. We really wanted to add on to the room but found it would cost way too much. We decided instead to re-do it with a glass frameless shower which is less than a foot bigger than the old one. We hired a contractor who said she could do it and do it she did. Her name is Michelle Roberts with M&M Home Improvements. She made all of the arrangements for the shower, laid the new tile, and installed the new toilet, mirror and vanity/sink. We trust her absolutely in our house and find her and her employees very easy to work with.

Well, Megax, I gotta tell you that I'm not too swift at posting photos. I'll try, but I can't promise anything.

Sorry about the delay with the photo. I haven't forgotten about it. I'm having unexpected (maybe expected) difficulty with my camera to computer connection. However, my son is now in the country and will probably be able to help me over the weekend.

What kind of ballpark figure are you talking for something like that? I like the sound of this type shower!

My contractor was here this morning and she said that our job was considerably more complicated (expensive) because we enlarged the shower and tiled its walls, floor and ceiling. We also used extra thick glass and brushed nickel hardware. She said that a ballpark figure would be $1,500 to $3,000 depending on how much you wanted done.
Every time I take a shower I thank myself for doing it, no matter the cost.
