Argonaut Shower & Mirror

These guys are great. They are a small shop, do only one thing, have a very few options to pick from (trust me this make your life so much easier) and seem to be no nonsense when it comes to price /​options etc. We went there and the person in the shop was straightforward about what would and would not work and what the costs were. She even told us not to pay more for some of the extra stuff as she thought it may not be worth it.
Installation was prompt and the product looks great. So why the 4 stars? Our contractor screwed up the panel on the floor on which you mount the glass. Apparently it has to slope inwards slightly (you cannot see this unless you have a level) so water stays in the shower. I was disappointed that the people who came in to measure for the glass did not check this. When they came to install the glass panels one week later they found the problem and said the door was too tight because of the slope. We had to remove the panels, and the contractor had to fix his shit and we paid argonaut extra to come in and install the glass again. Caused us two weeks of delay. I was just disappointed they did not catch the issue when they came to measure the bathroom. It would have been easy enough for them to catch it, since they do this day in and day out and would have saved us a whole bunch of headache and would have got them 5 stars in Unilocal :)

Argonaut has the best customer service! I had a broken shower piece that held my door in place and could not find the piece to save my life. Apparently it no longer made. (probably due to the fact that they snap) I contacted the people who installed it years and years ago with no help or response at all. I searched Unilocal and called about 5 places. Argonaut was the first to not only answer the phone bu got back to me on the part. Send pictures of the part they thought it was and when we went to go pick it up they said «no charge» who does that in this day and age! They said they had to order them in a pack of 6 so no worries and just gave it to us.
They are number one in my book for keeping me updated for the week it was on order and calling me when it came in and again for no charge. I highly recommend this company!

These guys are awesome. Small town attitude and friendliness with first class service. I stopped in today for a part for my shower door towel bar. They stopped, foraged around out in a gumble of parts and found just the right part for me within 3 minutes. No charge. I’ll be back when I have the big job since I know I’ll be treated right. First class!!!

Randy and Anthony came to our rescue. We had a emergency bathroom remodel that took many unexpected turns during the process. Thankfully our general contractor new Argonaut as they had used them before. Randy came in and bing, bang, boom 10 days later we had shower walls that are beautiful. They are professional, efficient and patient. We are thrilled with our shower walls. Highly recommend this company.

Argonaut Shower & Mirror, Inc. installed two new shower doors one in our guest bathroom and the other in our studio apartment this past week. Everyone that I worked with at Argonaut was highly professional and courteous. The price quoted was also below what I expected and very competitive. Argonaut provided excellent workmanship from initial measurement to final installation. They use high quality glass and hardware and the shower doors look and function beautifully. The whole process was very easy and efficient. I couldn’t be more pleased with the service and results. This is a family owned business and I highly recommend this company. Wonderful job, thank you!

Ordering process was easy, pricing was excellent, lead times were short (5 days) and the installation crew did an amazing job (and respected our home). Happy to recommend to anyone.

Argonaut Shower and Mirror installed mirrors into our newly renovated home. They turned out great. We had super service with ordering and installation. I would use them again.

I would like to thank Argonaut, in particular Randi & Anthony for resolving a situation in my home as the result of an unfortunate experience with an area competitor. They were professional, courteous and demonstrated tremendous integrity. The completed work was of the highest standard and added the final touch to an otherwise flawless Master Bath.
Over the years I have used Argonaut multiple times and have never been disappointed. I only used another firm at the recommendation go my trustworthy contractor.
I recommend Argonaut without hesitation.

Zoowie! Super service, super quality, super customer satisfaction (thanks Renee!) and last but not least, super, and very fair, pricing. Of course proper care in installation is a biggie and that was provided by Paul and Chris, who function as a team… great work guys!
I couldn’t be more satisfied with the product these folks cranked out for me, which was a single clear frameless glass shower door… simple, clean and beautiful. Soon they will return to complete another job.
Before committing to any company to fabricate my shower enclosure door I mentioned the project to a very good friend of mine who immediately suggested I get a quote from the fabricators she uses. Long story short; Argonaut beat the «turn-​around» time to manufacture and deliver AND the price!
You owe it to yourself to check out their work and pricing… at least!

This happened a year ago. I am very mindful not to hurt small businesses, yet this proofs that I can not resist this one.
I have been in the remodeling business for 26 years and have been a customer of Argonaut’s for I guess 15 of those. I spent about $ 50k over that time. The very first time we had a disagreement about something (believe me I was justified) the woman in the office went caustic on me. (I did not react in kind)
Never apologized, let me go as a client. They do really good work. Randy is great.
I do not think I have so stumped in 26 years.

When a 2^nd floor shower leaked and water appeared on the kitchen ceiling, I made a visit to Argonaut Shower to learn about showers and to see if I could determine just what was leaking. The staff was very helpful and pointed out all of the possible leaks. The shower pan, the drain, the water pipes, the valve, etc. I ultimately determined that it was the shower valve leaking behind the wall. We decided to completely redo the bathroom including the shower and the glass enclosure for the shower.
I was doing most of the project management and the tile people recommended 3 glass shops including Argonaut Glass. After getting 3 quotes, I chose Argonaut because of the professional way that they treated us in the showroom, their competitive price, and because they are a local business.
They came out, measured the shower and ordered the glass. It was ready in one week! It was installed when they said it would be and in about one hour.
After the installers left, we decided that we wanted the gap between the door and the adjoining glass wall to be smaller and for the door to open more easily. A vinyl piece that keeps the water from going under the door was rubbing on the floor and catching on the tile grout.
The next day, one of the installers came out, adjusted the door gap, reduced the vinyl rubbing and cleaned the glass. That’s it. 5 stars.
Anthony was a pleasure to work with.

When having our bathroom remodeled, I went to three different places to ask for information about frameless shower doors for a simple 32″ shower stall. Argonaut was the friendliest, and their quote came in as the lowest too.
They were very responsive by phone and email, knowledgeable and willing to accommodate my requests for different hardware. So I went for them. It took less than a week between the moment I signed the order and the door was installed, when other competitors were telling me 2 weeks+.
They came at the said time, and installed the door properly in about 20 min. Fast and clean job, and the door looks great!
I will highly recommend them to my friends and won’t hesitate to do business with them again.
All in all it cost me about $ 1,000, $ 300 less than competitor quotes.

Had a Cardinal shower door installed by this company.
A call back was necessary because the door was rubbing/​scraping
when it was opened all the way to enter the shower. It is the 2″ track that was installed.
The solution??? Spray some silicon on it!
Well, a few months later and door is, indeed, scraping again.
This time I will just not open the door all the way as I do not want these
people touching this door.
As a previous reviewer stated, a lot of attitude from the employees, especially
when $ 2000 has been spent for a door.

I wanted to replace a framed shower door with a frameless shower door for a non-​standard-​sized, rectangular opening and I wanted to do it myself to save money. My wife told me that several of her frugal coworkers had shopped around and found Argonaut to have the lowest prices, but I didn’t believe her because of Argonaut’s upscale Saratoga address. So I shopped around to about a dozen stores from Palo Alto to South San Jose, but Argonaut’s pricing beat all of them, by far.
The Argonaut staff-​member was very helpful on the phone and gave me a quote which they lived up to when I went to their store. The in-​store staff were also very helpful in ordering the appropriately sized (slightly off-​rectangle) door based on the dimensions which I gave them. When I picked up the glass door and hardware a few days later, they gave me shims, anchors, corner protectors, and excellent instructions on how to install the door– all free of charge.
My do-​it-​yourself Installation went well but I’m very handy so I don’t recommend self-​installation to most people. Argonaut’s labor prices seem very reasonable and worthwhile for most people.
The door fits and looks great.
Argonaut will get my business again and I will recommend them to my friends.

I’m sorry to leave such a negative review, but our experience was so bad that I had to share.
Our general contractor recommended to use Argonaut as in his opinion they were of a great quality and offer product at a reasonable price. He also gave us a preliminary estimate for our frameless shower based on a similar recent projects of $ 1250.
We came by the showroom on Sunday, checked out all of the options and were told by the guy that our shower will cost about $ 1400. We left satisfied and excited for a great looking new shower to complete our master bathroom remodeling. And then it all began:
1. Completely Incorrect Measurements.
On Monday two guys showed up to measure our shower and mirror. They both looked very presentable, professional and assertive. They worked very quickly and had a bunch of measuring tools. Impressive! Next day we received a quote for $ 1,750 plus $ 360 extra for clip system shower doors. When my husband came back from work we decided to check on the measurements and were shocked to find out that 2 out of 4 dimensions were measured by Argonaut incorrectly. We emailed Renee (the owner) but never heard back. We called next morning and were promised that «professional» measurement guys will come again. After the second measurement we had to wait for quote for two day and had to call again to finally get it. The quote came back for only $ 100 less. We were already set back by 3 days on our timeline.
2. Highly unprofessional and rude.
After reviewing the second quote and seeing how expensive it still is, we called our construction friend and asked for his opinion. He offered to get a quote from his vendor. Obviously, we agreed. New quote came in $ 560 less. Yes, $ 1450 for a clip system shower of exactly same dimensions and quality. My contractor sid that he would still highly prefer to work with Argonaut, so I decided to give it a try and emailed and then called Renee, when I didn’t hear back. When she heard me saying that I got a much cheaper quote, she got really pissed and told me that it’s probably with wrong dimensions. haha, funny after they measured it incorrectly themselves. I said, that the new quote is for exactly same dimensions as Argonaut’s quote. She called me unethical for sharing their measurements with another vendor after she send her guys to us twice. And pretty much yelled at me. Then she said that if it’s so much cheaper I should just go with it and literally hang up on me. This is especially funny, as I read in some other review that she asked someone else to fax her a quote with dimensions from another store so she can provide her own quote.
3. Liar and a waste of time.
When I told my contractor what happened and that we will go with another vendor, he called her and then told me that she said she was surprised that I hang up on her and that she would still like to work with us on this. He said she promised to send a new quote next morning and asked me to wait another day. So, yes I waited (who knows why) and of course nothing happened.
I know it’s annoying to read a long review, but maybe it will help someone to know about our experience with Argonaut. Yes, seems like a lot of people had a great experience with Argonaut, but obviously ours wasn’t. We did went with another vendor, who also came in to measure everything and did it correctly from the first time. They installed the shower and the mirror within 5 days from the initial quote and we saved almost $ 600 on just shower alone, which is almost 30% of the price. The shower and mirror look great and we are very happy!!!
So, do shop around after you check out Argonaut’s nice show room:)

I used this company to have 2 walls mirrored in my home. I found them based on reviews I read on Unilocal.Well, they lived up to all the great reviews. They were timely, honest, reasonable, and did a spectacular job. Randy, gave wonderful advice that saved me money (wow), and then Anthony did the same. I would highly recommend them, and would hire them again if the need (or want) should arise.
Thressa 5÷1÷2013… Five stars

We recently replaced two sets of shower doors. After looking several sources we selected Argonaut. Actually the price was a bit surprising. We expected a Argonaut’s price to be higher than their competition because their show room seemed more upscale and their staff seemed more professional, but actually their price was competitive.
Another consideration in selecting Argonaut was the great job they did for us on a frameless shower several years ago.
We wanted some unusual things. We wanted an artistic design on the glass, and we wanted to install the doors ourselves. Argonaut was extremely flexible in helping us meet both of these needs.
Professional, knowledgeable, flexible, punctual, and reasonable — that’s Argonaut.

I appreciate the comment from the folks at Argonaut almost 4yrs later. Nevertheless, it was a nice note and I wish them well in their family business. I have updated my rating from 2 stars to 3 stars.

Before coming here… I had looked at the designs & costs at big box stores in general for doors. And I had measured the stall already so I knew I was looking at a custom job for at least one of the two showers so I looked at some other places including bathroom specialty stores and I was open to help so I asked my friends if anyone had a recommendation and my friend had used Argonaut and was pleased.
I would rate Argonaut as GREAT service from start to finish and the cost wasn’t so far different from getting a big box store product installed. And the products installed are definitely quality and the installers are super efficient. There were snafus on timing but they bent over backward to deliver on time once I pointed out the error. And as long as you are coordinating the efforts of many, snafus happen. This was the last installation in a long construction project I was managing for my friend and I would definitely use this company again for my own house or recommend them to anyone else.
And I give it to them, they arrived early to look at the job and provide an estimate, and even though they were early, they called me with enough notice to meet them there and they called to confirm the order because it was different than what I was talking about in the store. I felt like the people at Argonaut were all working hard to make sure the customer was happy. I would ask questions, have to wait for the input from the homeowner, get back to Argonaut, etc. etc. This is time consuming and sometimes frustrating for vendors but Argonaut was always pleasant and polite.

I had Randy (owner) come out today and install a Wardrobe & Bath Specialties (WBS) European frameless 60″ x 75.25″ double sliding shower door. He had it installed in just over an hour, nice clean install, he used clean caulk and removed the Enduro Shield hard water protectant stickers from the door.
Argonaut stands behind its install for one year for labor and the doors are warranted by the manufacturers for 3 years.
Argonaut is the best shower door priced family owned business that I have come across. The service is friendly, install is very quick, less than a week from order to install. The install is done in just over an hour.
I highly recommend Argonaut for all your shower or mirror needs. They also accept credit cards, so you can collect those valuable airmiles! 5 stars all round.
