Newmarket

Newmarket's executive homes deserve glass that shows it.

Stonehaven and Leslie Valley are Newmarket's established executive communities — larger lots, custom-built homes from the late 1980s through the 2000s, and a renovation market that consistently prioritizes quality finishes. Master ensuite frameless showers and open-riser stair glass railings are among the most common requests we see in these neighbourhoods, and the homes have the floor plans to show them off properly. Hardware choices matter in these spaces: brushed nickel, matte black, and champagne bronze are all available, and we bring samples to the measure visit so you can see the options against your tile before anything is ordered.

"Jay and his team came within a week after measuring to install the double glass doors and mirrors. They used a laser to get everything perfectly level, and the result looks great."

FAQ · Newmarket

Common questions from Newmarket customers.

Yes. Open-riser staircase glass railings are one of the most common requests we see in Stonehaven and similar executive communities in Newmarket. The installation replaces the existing wood or metal spindle system with 10mm or 12mm tempered glass panels in a post-and-channel or standoff system. A Town of Newmarket building permit is typically required for interior railing replacements; we provide OBC documentation for your application on request.

We serve all of Newmarket, including Glenway, Stonehaven, Leslie Valley, Summerhill Estates, and Huron Heights — as well as Main Street–area heritage homes closer to the older town core. No neighbourhood in Newmarket carries a surcharge or priority access issue. Same-week scheduling is standard for the whole municipality.

After tile is fully grouted and cured — typically 48 to 72 hours after the last grout goes in, depending on product and temperature. Measuring before grout is cured gives inaccurate dimensions; the grout joint thickness and any slight substrate movement while curing can throw a measurement off enough that the glass does not fit on install day. Once the measure is taken, glass fabrication takes 10 to 14 business days, and installation is completed in a single visit.

Newmarket's Stonehaven and Glenway are executive-detached neighbourhoods with consistent renovation-cycle activity. Common project mix: frameless shower replacements in updated master ensuites, glass stair railings on rebuilt open-tread staircases, vanity mirror installations, and occasional full-wall gym mirror installations. Glass specification typically 10mm tempered for standard residential, 12mm for taller panels or steam enclosures. Drive time from Pickering runs 70-85 minutes via 407 ETR and Highway 404.

The Town of Newmarket Building Division handles all building permit submissions for Newmarket addresses. For exterior glass railings tied to permits (decks over 600mm above grade per Ontario Building Code Section 9.8), we supply OBC compliance documentation and engineering stamps. For interior residential glass installations — frameless showers, vanity mirrors, interior stair railings — no permit applies. Newmarket's process is roughly comparable in turnaround time to Aurora and Richmond Hill.
