## The honest read

Banner Glass Shelmar has been the glass shop in Wakefield since 1960 — Lawrence Rosenfield runs it today as a small corporation with about 18 employees and a second location in Waltham, and Rich Rosenfield has been featured installing a shower door on an episode of This Old House. The showroom handles the two things people call about most: windows (repairs, replacements, screens) and glass shower enclosures, from framed to fully frameless.

Its reviews run 5 stars straight through, and the same pattern shows up again and again — a named salesperson walks a customer through options in the showroom, then a named installer does the work. A March 2026 review described a glass shower door job where a handle mix-up got swapped same-day once caught; an October 2025 review named Mike, Bobby and Jeff for a two-window replacement; and reviews from 2022 through 2024 describe a palladium window replacement, frameless shower door installs, and screen repairs, consistently calling the pricing competitive and the installers professional.

The company carries an A+ BBB rating, and its Google page has 28 ratings averaging 5.0.

For a window repair or a custom shower door around Wakefield or Waltham, the showroom-then-install process the reviews describe — measure, order, install — is the standard path here.

**Strengths:**
- Named installers praised — professional, efficient shower-door and window work
- Decades in Wakefield — family-run glass shop operating since 1960
