Many household projects can be done DIY (Do It Yourself). However when it comes to frameless shower doors, this may not be the case.
There are many parts of the puzzle that go into designing and installing a shower door. A professional can guide you to help you determine if it’s a project that you can tackle yourself, or one that you may want to leave to an expert.
One of the benefits of professional installation is a technician will measure your shower opening for a custom fit. This process will take into consideration any problem areas, such as out of square walls, rises and decorative tile, etc.
Most companies offer this as a complimentary service. They can also have the shower door installation done for you. This should come with a one year warranty.
Glass companies have a very precise measuring requirement and most professionals will have a program that will give them accurate measurements.
A piece of glass with one mistake can cost a DIYer several hundred dollars to replace. There is also the placement of hardware including: hinges, towel bar, handle, clips, robe hook, etc. to be taken into consideration as well.
Going to a shower door professional first, to get their opinion doesn’t cost anything and could save a Do It Yourselfer a lot of money in the end.

I like that you approached your readers in a way that doesn’t seem like you are pushing them to always seek a professional. You are simply saying, “If you are capable of doing it yourself, do it, but be aware that mistakes can cost you money in the long run.” My dad, for example, has had no problem putting in showers or even the doors, but if I tried it I would get myself in a lot of trouble!
