Frameless Glass & Mirror Installation in Scarborough
Built By Glass brings custom frameless showers, glass railings, and mirrors to Scarborough homes — from Agincourt renovations to Bluffs-area estates. Our own crew, laser-measured, 5-year warranty.
Close to home, right on schedule in Scarborough.
Scarborough sits directly west of our Pickering base, making it one of the fastest markets for us to reach in the entire GTA. That proximity means same-week scheduling as a rule, not a best-case scenario. When you book a free measure in Scarborough, you're not waiting in a queue behind a hundred other installs further west — we're already in your neighbourhood.
Scarborough is a deeply renovation-active market. The post-war bungalows in Agincourt and Wexford are being gutted and rebuilt with open-plan layouts and spa-style bathrooms. The Scarborough Bluffs and Cliffside area has seen a wave of custom home builds with the kind of detail-oriented specifications — specific hardware finishes, matching glass thickness across multiple bathrooms — that our crews handle to the same exacting standard on every job.
From a Malvern townhouse frameless door to a Rouge Valley custom estate master bath, Built By Glass brings the same standard: laser-measured, OBC-compliant, and covered by a 5-year written warranty on every installation.

What our GTA customers say.
"Jay did a great job installing our glass shower doors. From the time we ordered till the time of installation it only took one week — very happy with his service. Thank you!"
"I had a custom shower door installed by Built by Glass and I couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish the experience was smooth and professional. The final product looks absolutely stunning — sleek, modern, and exactly what I envisioned."
"Jay and his team were amazing installing a glass wall/partition for my home office in my basement. His communication was prompt and professional right from the start. He explained the whole process and followed through on everything quoted. On top of the great service and quality materials, he provides very competitive pricing — I'd recommend him for all of your glass needs."
Common questions from Scarborough customers.
Scarborough pricing holds the standard GTA line: $850 entry for a fixed-panel shower, about $1,100 for door-and-return, $1,400 minimum for railing projects, $25/sqft mirrors with no minimum — and being just across the Pickering border keeps our response fast. Build & Price tool for the instant range; free measure for the exact quote.
Because Scarborough borders our Pickering HQ, measures book quickly — typically within a couple of business days. From the final laser measure (after grout), fabrication runs 10 business days and installation wraps in one visit, usually a few hours.
Showers and mirrors: permit-free. Exterior guards and stair railings: usually a Toronto Building permit under Ontario Building Code Part 9, with 2 to 4 week approvals typical. We confirm requirements at the measure and hand you the specification and OBC documentation.
Bluffs-facing decks with significant wind exposure from the lake are treated the same as any high-exposure exterior application. We specify 12mm tempered glass as a minimum for these locations, and laminated tempered glass is available when the drop below or the wind exposure warrants the additional safety margin. The City of Toronto Building Department — which has jurisdiction over Scarborough — requires a permit for new or replacement deck guard railings, and we provide the full OBC compliance documentation for that application.
Out-of-square walls in Agincourt and Wexford's postwar housing stock are one of the more common situations we encounter across Scarborough. Frameless glass handles this well because the panel edges are cut and polished to the actual measured angles of the space — there is no frame trying to compensate for a gap, just glass fabricated to fit what's there. We measure with a laser level on-site and specify accordingly. The result looks precise even in a bathroom that isn't.
Yes. Scarborough condo installs are a regular part of our work. We carry the insurance documentation required by City of Toronto-managed properties and most private property managers. We coordinate elevator booking timing directly with building management, and we consolidate glass delivery and installation into a single visit to minimize the number of bookings. If your condo board requires a pre-approval process for contractors, we can supply the required documentation in advance of booking.
The Scarborough Bluffs corridor (Birch Cliff, Cliffside, Cliffcrest) is the only City of Toronto neighbourhood with significant lakefront exposure. For exterior glass work — deck railings, glass-enclosed sunrooms, exterior balcony guards — within roughly 500m of the bluffs, we specify 316 marine-grade stainless hardware rather than standard 304. The salt-laden onshore winds (especially November through March) degrade standard hardware visibly within 18-36 months. The 316 upgrade is modest in cost (8-18% per piece) but holds for decades.
Agincourt and Wexford have a meaningful share of mid-century housing stock currently in renovation cycle, plus newer infill builds. Common project mix: frameless shower replacements in updated master ensuites, full-wall mirror installations, and stair railing packages where original wood balustrades are being replaced. For new-build infill projects, we coordinate measure timing with the tile installer to fit glass into the build calendar rather than as an afterthought.
