Schicker Luxury Shower Doors, Inc. designs, manufactures, and installs shower enclosures for residential and commercial customers throughout the Bay Area. In addition to installing shower doors that feature a wide variety of glass patterns, metal finishes and hardware designs, the company can create custom enclosures that are built to clients’ exact measurements and specifications.
President Peter Schicker established Schicker Luxury Shower Doors in 1980 after noticing a growing need in the bathroom remodeling market. Since then, the company has developed into a prosperous enterprise, with more than 20 employees and a fleet of fully stocked installation vans. Today, its products can be viewed in remodeling showrooms throughout the Greater Bay Area.
Schicker Luxury Shower Doors continuously invests in products, equipment and staff training to stay up-to-date with the bathroom design industry’s latest trends. “We’re especially diligent about keeping up with installation techniques because they ensure the overall quality of our products,” says General Manager Joe Matthews. “All the extra steps we take are worth it when the end result is a beautiful glass shower enclosure that’s built to last for many years.”
“Our goal has remained the same for more than four decades: make every customer a repeat customer. We’ve been able to achieve that by providing high-quality products, craftsmanship and customer service while maintaining industry-best installation standards. Our continued commitment to excellence ensures a positive experience for each client.”
If you’re planning to age in place in your home, prioritize making your bathroom as safe as possible. More and more senior citizens are choosing to age in place and stay in their own homes rather than move to care facilities. Similarly, more families are welcoming aging parents and grandparents into their homes. One of the most common safety hazards for aging residents is bathrooms, especially for those who have physical handicaps. Slippery showers and bathtubs account for thousands of injuries every year. To prevent this, many people opt to install safer showers and tubs in their homes. However, some are disappointed to see that the most common safety tub options don’t fit their aesthetic sensibilities.
For discerning homeowners, there are options that can fit both their need for safe bathing and their desire for a beautiful home. “There are many types of shower doors that can work for people who use walkers or are in wheelchairs,” says Joe Matthews, general manager of Schicker Luxury Shower Doors, Inc. in Concord. “These options make showers accessible and functional, so people of all ability levels can operate them.”
This is especially welcome for homeowners who are remodeling with the expectation of living in their homes well into their golden years, or families who want to preserve the value and look of their homes despite needing more easily accessible showers. Some even choose accessible doors because they like the convenience. “One of the most popular products is the zero-entry threshold,” says Mr. Matthews. “There’s no raised edge or change in floor level from the outside room to the inside of the shower. People with back problems find this option very convenient, but healthy and active homeowners like it as well.”
Easy-to-open shower doors are also popular, and homeowners don’t have to sacrifice quality or looks to get one. “Tempered glass shower doors can weigh 85 pounds or more, but if they’re made well, they don’t take much pressure to open,” explains Mr. Matthews. “That’s due to the engineering of the hardware. Quality parts make all the difference in how shower doors operate.”
Maintaining customer satisfaction is a crucial aspect of any business, but it's even more important for shower enclosure companies that have earned the prestigious Diamond Certified award. For Schicker Luxury Shower Doors, Inc., the best way to keep customers satisfied is to focus on providing them with exactly what they need. "The only type of glass work we do is shower doors, so our clients know what to expect," says General Manager Joe Matthews. "We utilize our training and experience to build them beautiful enclosures that last for many years."
Schicker Luxury Shower Doors has been designing, manufacturing, and installing shower enclosures for residential and commercial clients throughout the Bay Area and Sacramento since 1980. The company primarily focuses on installing shower doors that feature a variety of glass patterns, metal finishes and hardware designs, but it can also create custom enclosures that are built to clients' exact specifications.
Unlike shower enclosure companies that delegate certain project management responsibilities to less experienced subcontractors, Schicker Luxury Shower Doors handles every aspect of every job in-house. "Our technicians are well-trained and know how to adhere to our rigorous standards," says Mr. Matthews. "Our clients don't have to wonder about who's coming to their homes–they know they're getting experienced professionals who have a lot of knowledge about the products."
Another distinguishing attribute of Schicker Luxury Shower Doors is its connection to a large network of suppliers that carry a vast range of products. "We can get different types of specialty glasses, hardware and materials, so we're able to offer more options than most companies," affirms Mr. Matthews. "Ultimately, we want to help our clients make the best choices for their needs. They're going to see their bathrooms every day, so they deserve to see what they like and not have any regrets."
