SHOWER ENCLOSURES

Q: How much does a custom shower enclosure cost in South Florida?
Pricing depends on size, glass type, and hardware finish. Most custom frameless shower enclosures range from $800–$2,500+. CFG offers competitive pricing with free in-home consultations so you know exactly what to expect before committing.

Q: What’s the difference between frameless, semi-frameless, and framed shower enclosures?
Frameless enclosures use thick tempered glass (3/8″–1/2″) with minimal metal hardware — the sleekest, most modern look. Semi-frameless has framing on some sides but a frameless door. Framed enclosures have aluminum framing around the full perimeter and are the most budget-friendly option. CFG can walk you through all three at your free consultation.

Q: How long does it take to install a custom shower enclosure?
Most projects are measured, fabricated, and installed within 2–3 weeks. The installation itself typically takes 1–2 hours for a standard enclosure.

Q: Do I need to finish tiling before my shower enclosure is measured?
Yes — tile, flooring, and plumbing should be completed before we measure. We measure after your tile is set to ensure a perfect, watertight fit every time.

CUSTOM GLASS & MIRRORS

Q: Can you make a mirror any size or shape?
Yes — we fabricate custom mirrors to any dimension, shape, and edge profile. Whether it’s a floor-to-ceiling frameless bathroom mirror, a curved decorative mirror, or a backlit vanity mirror, we build it to your exact specification.

Q: How much does a custom mirror cost?
Pricing depends on size, thickness, and edge treatment. Most custom bathroom mirrors start around $150–$400. Larger decorative or specialty mirrors vary. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote.

Q: What is back-painted glass and where is it used?
Back-painted glass is clear glass coated on the back with a solid color, creating a smooth, seamless surface. It’s popular for kitchen backsplashes, feature walls, and shower surrounds — delivering a modern look with no grout lines.

Q: Do you install custom glass wine cellar enclosures?
Yes — custom glass wine cellars are one of our specialties. We design and install full glass-wall enclosures, frameless glass doors, and display solutions for residential and commercial wine storage.

GLASS RAILINGS

Q: Are glass railings safe and up to Florida building code?
Yes. All of our glass railings use tempered safety glass as required by Florida building code. Tempered glass is heat-treated to be significantly stronger than standard glass, and if it does break, it shatters into small rounded pieces rather than dangerous shards. Our installations are permitted and inspected where required.

Q: How much do glass railings cost in South Florida?
Pricing depends on linear footage, post style, glass thickness, and whether the installation is interior or exterior. Most residential projects range from $150–$350+ per linear foot. We provide free in-home estimates.

Q: What types of glass railing systems do you install?
We install three main systems: standoff (point-fixed), where glass is secured by individual hardware points; U-channel, where glass slides into a metal base channel; and post-and-rail, which uses vertical posts with a top rail. All are available in stainless steel, matte black, and brushed nickel finishes.

Q: Can glass railings be installed outdoors or on a pool deck?
Yes — glass railings are an excellent choice for balconies, pool decks, and exterior staircases. We use marine-grade hardware and tempered glass suited to South Florida’s climate, including UV exposure and salt air environments.

CUSTOM CLOSETS

Q: How much does a custom closet cost?
A basic reach-in custom closet typically starts around $500–$1,200. Walk-in closets with full built-ins, glass inserts, and specialty storage start around $2,000+. We provide free in-home design consultations with no-obligation quotes.

Q: What’s the difference between a custom closet and a big-box closet organizer?
Big-box organizers use standard dimensions that may not fit your space and are made from lower-quality materials. CFG designs and builds to your exact dimensions with your choice of materials, finishes, and features — built to last and fit perfectly.

Q: How long does it take to design and install a custom closet?
Most closet projects are designed, fabricated, and installed within 2–3 weeks. Design happens during your free in-home consultation where we take measurements and map out your storage needs.

Q: Can you add glass elements to my custom closet?
Absolutely — glass is one of our specialties. We incorporate glass cabinet doors, mirrored panels, glass shelving, and mirrored back walls into closet designs, adding a luxury feel and making the space feel larger and brighter.
