Homeowners love the sleek look and easy maintenance of glass doors, but the true value is only clear when you know every cost in advance. CountBricks uses live material pricing, labor databases, and AI voice capture to generate accurate estimates in minutes, removing guesswork from residential construction budgeting.
• Modern, frameless glass instantly updates an older bathroom
• Tempered panels contain water more effectively than fabric curtains
• Increased perceived property value at resale
• Easier daily cleaning thanks to protective coatings
1. Glass Type and Thickness
Standard ¼-inch tempered glass is budget friendly, while ⅜-inch or ½-inch low-iron panels raise both material and handling costs.
2. Door Configuration
Sliding bypass doors are economical. Hinged or pivot designs need heavier hardware and often structural blocking behind the wall.
3. Hardware Finish
Chrome and brushed nickel are common, but matte black and custom finishes increase line-item pricing by 10-15 %.
4. Site Conditions
Out-of-plumb walls, tile repairs, or tub flange issues add prep time, disposal fees, and potentially waterproofing membranes.
5. Labor Market
Skilled glazing labor in Miami runs higher than the national average. CountBricks references real-time union and non-union rates to keep estimates current.
Through thousands of CountBricks quotes, an installed sliding glass door over a standard 60-inch tub averages $1,050 – $1,350. Frameless hinged systems trend between $1,600 – $2,400. Complex custom curbless tub platforms can exceed $3,000. These ranges already include demolition, glass, hardware, caulk, miscellaneous fasteners, and professional clean-up.
CountBricks is more than a calculator. Our platform captures spoken measurements, instantly pulls bathtub and wall dimensions from imported blueprints, and synchronizes with regional pricing APIs.

2. AI converts voice data to numeric inputs and auto-detects door style
3. Real-time supplier feeds populate glass and hardware costs
4. Local labor rates are matched to scope and complexity
5. CountBricks applies mark-ups, sales tax, and permit fees
6. A branded PDF proposal and invoice are generated in less than 60 seconds

While confident homeowners can install framed kits, frameless glass demands precision cuts and heavy lifting. A single mis-drilled hole can shatter a $500 panel. CountBricks maintains a vetted installer network—searchable through your dashboard—to guarantee workmanship warranties alongside your digital estimate.
• Site measure: 1 hour
• Glass fabrication: 5-7 business days
• Installation: 2-4 hours for sliding doors, 4-6 hours for hinged
• Cure and caulk set time: 24 hours before first shower
Ask CountBricks to include optional pricing for grab bars, niches, and matching towel rings. Bundling today avoids tile patching tomorrow and locks in current labor rates.
