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.
