If you’ve been putting off replacing that old shower door in your Sarasota home, you’re not alone — it’s usually the last thing on the remodel list and the first thing guests notice. Prime Glass has been custom-measuring and installing glass in Southwest Florida since 1991, and Sarasota is one of our most-requested markets, from the condo towers downtown to the golf communities out toward Palmer Ranch.
We’re a little different from most glass companies you’ll call. Prime Glass is 100% employee-owned. Every person who measures your bathroom, cuts your glass, and carries it up to your unit owns a piece of this company. That’s not a marketing line — it’s an ESOP, a formal ownership structure — and it shows up in the little things: the extra five minutes double-checking a measurement, the care taken not to scuff your baseboards, the phone call back when something needs adjusting. No other glass company on the Gulf Coast can say every installer on the truck is an owner.
Call (941) 488-0263 for a free quotes from your measurements, or request pricing online — most homeowners hear back within one business day.
Serving Every Corner of Sarasota
We install throughout Sarasota and the surrounding barrier islands and communities, including:
- Palmer Ranch and the neighborhoods along Honore and McIntosh
- The Lakewood Ranch edge and nearby Sarasota County communities
- Siesta Key, where salt air and humidity make choosing the right glass and hardware finish especially important
- The Landings and other established West of Trail neighborhoods
- Downtown Sarasota condos, where tight elevators, HOA move-in windows, and building rules require an installer who’s done it before
If you’re not sure your neighborhood is on this list, call us — chances are we’re already working a few streets over.
What We Install
Custom frameless shower enclosures. No metal frame, no visible track — just clean glass, precisely cut to your exact opening. This is the look most Sarasota homeowners are after when they picture a modern primary bath, and it’s the single most popular project we build. See our frameless shower enclosures page for glass and hardware options.
Framed and semi-frameless shower doors. A budget-conscious option that still looks sharp, especially for guest baths or rental units where a slightly lower price point makes sense. Full detail on our framed shower doors page.
Custom mirrors. Vanity mirrors cut to fit odd widths, mirrored gym walls for home fitness rooms, and mirrored closet doors — all custom-measured, not off-the-shelf. Details on our custom mirrors page.
Sliding barn-style glass doors. A popular alternative to a swinging shower door in tighter bathroom footprints, and increasingly requested as a closet or pantry feature in Sarasota’s newer condo builds. See our barn-style sliding glass doors page.
Glass repair and replacement. Cracked panel, failed hardware, or a door that’s stopped closing right — we repair and replace glass throughout Sarasota, not just new installs.
Why Sarasota Homeowners Choose Prime Glass
We’re employee-owned. Every installer has a financial stake in doing the job right the first time. It’s the single biggest differentiator we have, and it’s not something a competitor can copy by putting it in their ads.
We’ve been here since 1991. Prime Glass isn’t a name that showed up on Google last year. We’ve been measuring and installing glass across Southwest Florida for over three decades, which means we know Sarasota’s building stock — from older West of Trail homes with settled foundations to brand-new construction on Palmer Ranch — and we know how to make a custom piece of glass fit either one.
4.8★ from 88 Google reviews. Real customers, real jobs, real feedback. We read every review, including the rare tough one, and we follow up personally when something isn’t right.
free quotes from your measurements, no pressure. We come to you, measure the actual space (not a guess from a photo), and give you a straightforward number — not a lowball quote that grows once the crew shows up.
Our Process, Start to Finish
- Free in-home measure. A member of our team visits your Sarasota home, measures the exact opening, and talks through glass type, hardware finish, and layout options with you on the spot.
- Custom cut. Your glass is cut specifically for your bathroom — no two jobs are identical, and nothing is ordered from a generic size chart.
- Install. Most installations are completed in a single visit. From the day we measure to the day we install typically runs 2–3 weeks, depending on glass supply and your schedule.
There’s no demolition mess, no multi-week construction crew in your house — just a focused, one-visit install by the same team that measured your space.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a frameless shower enclosure cost in Sarasota?
Every project is custom, so here’s how pricing works: call (941) 488-0263 with your rough measurements and we’ll quote you a price based on your dimensions — free, right over the phone. If you like the number, a 50% deposit gets you on the schedule and we come out to take the official measurements. If ours differ from yours the price adjusts slightly, but careful measurements mean the final price lands very close to your original quote.
How long does it take from estimate to installed shower door?
Typically 2–3 weeks from the day we measure to the day we install. Because every piece of glass is custom-cut for your specific opening, there’s a short lead time for fabrication, but the install itself is usually done in one visit.
Do you work in condos and HOA communities in Sarasota?
Yes. We regularly install in condo buildings and HOA communities throughout Sarasota, including downtown high-rises and communities near Siesta Key and Palmer Ranch. Let us know your building’s move-in or delivery rules when you book your estimate and we’ll plan around them.
What’s the difference between framed, semi-frameless, and frameless shower doors?
Framed doors have a metal frame around the glass and are the most budget-friendly option. Semi-frameless splits the difference — thinner metal trim with thicker glass. Frameless uses thick tempered glass with minimal hardware for the cleanest, most modern look, and it’s what most Sarasota homeowners choose for a primary bathroom upgrade.
Is Prime Glass actually employee-owned, or is that just a slogan?
It’s real. Prime Glass converted to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) — every team member, including the installers who come to your home, owns a stake in the company. It’s a structural difference, not a marketing claim, and it’s one no other local glass company can match.
