About Us

Michael Lawlor has been working in the construction/remodelling industry for over 20 years, and has specialized in designing, building and installing custom shower doors since 1997.

Before starting Superior Shower Doors, Mike Lawlor was working for another company installing shower doors and doing work on the side as well. “The sheer volume of work I was doing on the side while still employed at my day job was overwhelming.” Lawlor said.

In 2003, Michael Lawlor decided to open his own business rather than continue to work for others. “I finally decided to make the jump and go out on my own. We’ve been busy ever since. I saw there was a niche for a smaller, more customer-oriented business, and set out to fill it. The decision was not as easy at it may seem. I basically had to put my whole family on the line and quit a full-time job with benefits. Expanding the company brings new risks with each level you hit.” Lawlor said.

These risks paid off: In 2004, he opened a showroom on Spring Street in Newton to showcase his shower designs. Two years later, Superior Shower Doors moved down the street to a much larger facility, offering ample space for a showroom, office and shop.

“The purpose of having the showroom here was to attract more local business, because a lot of our clientele had been coming from all over the tri-State area.” Mike Lawlor said.

There is a broad range of products available here for any price range.”

Superior Shower Doors prides itself on having just what its name implies: a product that is better than what you will find at a larger chain store.

Customer service, knowledge and quality of the product are the main concerns at Superior Shower Doors and the attributes that set them apart from their competitors. They also install the product in a timely fashion and maintain competitive pricing.

“There is a broad range of products available here for any price range.” Lawlor said.

Superior Shower Doors offers an array of stock shower units such as sliding tub and shower doors. They also offer custom units, which make up the majority of Superior Shower Doors’ workload. These custom units are high quality, and the top-of-the-line models are half-inch-thick glass enclosures, without metal frames, that look more like works of art than simply showers. Before installing a custom shower, Superior Shower Doors consults with the client about what type of opening they have in their bathroom for the shower. They then take measurements, give a free estimate, and, after a design is agreed upon, Superior Shower Doors puts the unit into production.

Superior Shower Doors prides itself on a quick turnaround time. In addition to shower enclosures, Superior Shower Doors carries a huge variety of shower glass and hardware, from patterned, clear, or etched glass to knobs and handles as well as custom-made mirrors.

Business continues to grow, and Superior Shower Doors recently expanded to form SSD Glass to use their skills and expertise on larger commercial glass installation projects including custom mirrors and glass, commercial glazing, storefronts and large glass installations, biocleaning, and TPC (Transparent Polymer Coating).

  • "My experience with Superior Shower Doors was so positive from start to finish. After checking other companies that were recommended to me I ended up choosing this one from the internet. I had many questions because of the size and layout of my bathroom and Rob was so knowledgeable and patient and answered every one. He explained the pros and cons of my options and even emailed me pictures. No other company was as helpful. Everyone, including Mike, the owner, and his installers were also so professional and easy to deal with. My shower door looks beautiful! The customer service after installation was also great. So happy that I chose them and have already recommended them to friends."

  • "I've held off writing a recommendation for Superior and Mike's team until a period of time passed since the installation. I can say unequivocally the original installation was handled in a professional manner. We had a glass shower enclosure and several mirrors installed the same day. The important issue for anyone considering a major investment in what is many time the center piece of a bath renovation is not only the installation but the service the company provides after the installation. Mike and his team provide timely and flawless after the sale support. Mike is to be commended for his leadership in building a great team and therefore merits a strong recommendation."

  • "I just want to let you know how very pleased I was with the installation of my tub/shower doors by Ryan. He was a most pleasant person who was diligent in his task. He answered my questions as to the care of the doors and advised me of the need to wait to use the shower area. I feel it is important to give credit where credit is due, so thank you Ryan!"

  • "Superior Shower Doors was very professional and gave a detailed estimate with a detailed drawing. We knew exactly what we were getting. The glass was installed today. They did a neat, professional job. The glass looks beautiful. Can't wait to take a shower! ... but understand we need to wait 48 hours for the sealing to set. Our second purchase of ShowerGuard glass from Superior Shower Doors was for our downstairs bathroom. Once again, their service on all counts lives up to their name: Superior!!!"
