Quick answer: Dumont (ZIP 07628) is about fifteen minutes from our Lodi showroom. The borough grew up in the post-war boom, so most homes are Cape Cods, colonial revivals and 1950s split-levels on tidy 50 × 100 lots. Bathrooms tend to be on the smaller side — typical 5 × 7 or 5 × 8 footprints — and many still have first-generation framed showers or builder mirrors. Most of our Dumont work is hand-templated frameless replacements, mirror walls for compact baths, and occasional kitchen back-painted glass for renovated mid-century kitchens.
For everything we offer in town, see the Dumont service page. Below are highlights of recent residential work.
Dumont at a glance
Dumont is about 18,000 residents in just under two square miles, tucked between Bergenfield and Cresskill in the Northern Valley. The housing tells a single story: post-war development. Cape Cods on tree-lined streets, colonial revivals filling out the larger lots, and 1950s split-levels stacked between them. Bathrooms in those homes are rarely more than 5 × 8, and the original 1950s tile work has settled in ways that don't accommodate off-the-shelf shower enclosures.
From Lodi, the drive runs about fifteen minutes through Hackensack and across Route 4. Slightly longer than our closest service areas, but standard scheduling means most Dumont measures book within a week.
Shower-door highlights
Frameless inline in a Madison Avenue Cape
A postwar Cape off Madison Avenue had the original early-80s framed bypass slider in its primary bath — that classic aluminum-track style with the perpetually rusty bottom rail. The owners had updated the kitchen and finally got to the bathroom. We pulled the old slider, repaired the substrate, and installed a single inline frameless door with a fixed return panel in 3/8″ clear glass, brushed-nickel hinges. The original tile stayed. Total project: ten days from quote to install.
Walk-in conversion in a 1950s split-level
A 1950s split-level off New Milford Avenue had its primary bath gut-renovated, including pulling out the tub and building a curbed walk-in shower with a built-in bench. We installed a fixed-panel-and-door frameless enclosure in 3/8″ low-iron glass with matte-black hinges to match the new black-and-white tile scheme. The low-iron upgrade let the white tile read true rather than picking up the typical green cast standard glass adds at that thickness.
Neo-angle frameless in a tight colonial revival
A colonial revival off Park Avenue had a 36″ × 36″ corner shower the previous owner had crammed with a metal-framed pivot door that hit the toilet on every swing. We replaced it with a neo-angle frameless enclosure — two fixed return panels at 45 degrees and a single inswing door, all 3/8″ tempered glass, polished-chrome hardware. The corner instantly felt usable.
Mirror highlights
Custom vanity mirror for a Dumont Cape primary bath
A Cape off Washington Avenue had a small primary bath with a narrow 30″ vanity. The owners had been frustrated for years that no off-the-shelf mirror fit cleanly. We cut a 26″ × 38″ panel with a 1″ polished bevel, helped them hang it flush with cleat-and-clip mounts. The custom size was the difference between a mirror that looked added-on and one that looked original to the room.
Living room mirror wall for a split-level
A split-level off Belleview Avenue wanted to bounce afternoon sunlight from the picture window into the rest of the living room. We delivered a 60″ × 96″ polished-edge mirror panel, set with mirror mastic and J-channel anchored above a console table. The room reads visibly brighter from late morning through sunset.
Other glass work
Back-painted glass backsplash in a renovated kitchen
A renovated kitchen off Niagara Street ran a single 6-foot back-painted glass panel in soft warm white behind the range, templated to fit around the new chimney hood and three outlets. The owner had originally specified subway tile and changed their mind after seeing a sample at the Lodi showroom — they didn't want grout to maintain.
Glass tabletop for a vintage dining set
An owner asked us to cut a tempered tabletop for an inherited 1960s teak dining table that had developed water rings. 1/2″ tempered, polished edges, beveled corners. Templated in person, delivered the following week. The glass protects the wood while keeping the original teak grain fully visible.

Postwar-bath expertise is the main reason. Dumont Capes and 1950s split-levels were built fast and economically, which means rough openings that aren't square, tile that wasn't laid plumb, and rough framing behind walls that doesn't always cooperate with modern hardware. We've templated and installed in hundreds of these specific homes — we know exactly where the studs sit, where to add blocking, and how to seal frameless glass tight against tile that's been there since Eisenhower's first term.
The second reason is the long-term piece. Dumont is a stay-put borough. The enclosure we install today is the one we'll be servicing in 2040 when the sweep finally needs replacement. Family-run, same crew, same shop, same phone number for forty years.
