Mr-Glass Construction in Felton, CA | Daly City Construction
We provide independent Home Remodeling – Felton with Mr-Glass window replacement, shower enclosure, and glass work across Felton, CA, under the Daly City Construction license. What makes our Mr-Glass service here different is simple: we know that Felton’s mid-century cabins often have out-of-square wall openings and pier-and-beam foundations, so stock-size window and shower installs rarely go square without custom shimming. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate on Mr-Glass work that accounts for how mountain homes actually settle and breathe.
We’ve been fitting Mr-Glass aluminum sliders, vinyl replacement windows, and framed or frameless shower enclosures into Felton kitchens, baths, and additions for years. We’re an independent crew, not manufacturer-affiliated, so our recommendations are based on what holds up in redwood shade and winter fog, not what a factory rep wants moved. You can read more about our overall Mr-Glass sales & service approach, or keep reading for the Felton-specific picture.
Why Felton Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Felton homes ask more of window and glass products than most of California. Constant winter rain, fog that never fully burns off north elevations, redwood needles in every track, and cabins that have settled unevenly for sixty or seventy years. Noel Cabrera, our owner, grew up watching postwar tract homes get reworked the right way in Daly City, trained in construction technology at City College of San Francisco, and has spent his career reading the structural signals that older mountain houses give off. His habit of saying “Tell me what the house needs, not what you think it needs – then we’ll figure out the right fix” is exactly how we approach every General Contractor in Felton project and Mr-Glass install.
We quote and install Mr-Glass products without a manufacturer’s push. We’ve learned which frame profiles tolerate Felton’s humidity, which glazing seals fail early on shaded north walls, and when replacement beats repeat repair. That local judgment is the whole game here.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Felton
- Sliders that bind and drag. Redwood needles and fine mountain grit pack into aluminum slider tracks and rollers over a single dry season. In a cabin off Graham Hill Road, we pulled original Mr-Glass sliders seized with pitch and needle debris, cleaned the jambs, and set new vinyl sliders with proper weep paths so the homeowner could actually open windows in summer.
- Vinyl frame corner and seal failure on shaded elevations. North-facing walls in Felton rarely dry fully between storms. Fog-driven moisture sits against vinyl frame corners and glazing seals, which means Mr-Glass replacement windows need proper flashing and drainage detailing on install, not just a square set and silicone.
- Sill leaks in older aluminum-frame units. Mid-century cabins often have original Mr-Glass aluminum frames with weatherstripping that’s long gone and weep holes clogged with redwood litter. Winter rain tracks inside at the sill, and by spring you’ve got staining and soft drywall under the window.
- Hard-water spotting and seal breakdown on frameless shower glass. Felton well water carries mineral content that etches glass and corrodes hinges and sweep seals faster than municipal water in Santa Cruz. Frameless shower enclosures in damp mountain cabins need higher-quality seals and more frequent hinge maintenance.
- Out-of-square rough openings on replacement windows. Cabins on pier-and-beam foundations shift seasonally. A stock-size Mr-Glass single-hung rarely drops into an old Felton rough opening without shimming, and forcing it leaves stress on the frame that shows up as binding sashes a year later.
Mr-Glass Service in Felton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Felton’s mid-century cabins sit on pier-and-beam foundations that move with the wet-dry cycle of every Santa Cruz Mountains winter. Heavy rainfall saturates the clay, the piers settle a fraction, and wall openings that were square in October are noticeably out of square by March. That means a Mr-Glass service in Ben Lomond or Felton replacement window frequently needs custom shimming and a framed opening rather than the stock-size square-install approach that works fine in a newer Scotts Valley subdivision. We check rough opening dimensions twice before ordering any unit, then shim to plumb and level, not to the existing framing. The same applies to shower enclosures in older cabins – the wall framing has usually wandered, and your frameless glass panel will show the gap if the installer doesn’t correct for it. This isn’t a measurement nuance; it’s the single biggest reason Mr-Glass installs in Felton underperform when contractors treat our housing stock like nearby flatland tract homes.
If you’re asking whether a Mr-Glass window set for a stick-frame addition in San Mateo County would install the same way in a 1950s Felton cabin, the answer is no. And we plan for that before the first cut.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Felton
We work across Mr-Glass’s aluminum sliding window series, vinyl single-hung and double-hung replacement windows, framed and frameless shower door and enclosure lines, and patio sliding glass doors. For still-supported profiles, we source OEM Mr-Glass rollers, weatherstripping, sweeps, and hinges. When OEM parts are discontinued, we spec quality aftermarket glazing and seals that match the profile spec. If a slider is beyond re-track, if the frame is pitted or the roller channel is hogged out, we tell you plainly that replacement beats another repair. No sugarcoating. In Felton and nearby Mr-Glass service in Lompico, we also keep local supply relationships for the common vinyl window sizes and shower glass hardware, which shortens turnaround when you’ve got one window leaking before the next storm.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Felton
Mr-Glass work in Felton tracks the scope of the opening, not a flat catalog number. A standard double-hung replacement in a square opening costs less than an out-of-square corner window in a settled cabin, where we’re reframing the rough opening and correcting rotted sill stock before the unit goes in. Same logic applies to shower enclosures. Here’s what the line items look like on a typical Felton estimate:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4500 – $15000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4500 – $12000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3000 – $8500 |
| Roof Repair (glass-adjacent flashing and sill work) | $400 – $1800 |
Every estimate includes the site visit, rough-opening checks, shim and flashing scope, and a written line-item quote before you commit. No change orders after we start unless we hit rot we couldn’t see from the surface. Call (866) 505-5254 for an exact number.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Felton
Most of the time, yes. We remove the old unit, inspect the rough opening, and usually only replace rotted sill stock or add shims rather than reframing the entire wall. If the framing is too far gone or badly out of plane, we’ll show you exactly what needs correcting before quoting. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll take a look.
Redwood needles, grit, and winter moisture pack the lower track and rollers by spring. Once the tracks are cleaned and new rollers or adjusted carriages are set, the window slides again. If the frame has been binding for years, the channel may be worn out. The repair path depends on what we find in the track. Call us after a dry spell and we’ll get it moving.
It can be, with the right hinges and seals. Felton well water and constant interior dampness corrode cheap hardware fast, so we use sealed pivot hinges and quality sweep seals, and we show you what maintenance the glass actually needs. A framed Mr-Glass enclosure is sometimes the smarter pick in continuously humid cabins. We’ll lay out both options before you spend anything.
Yes. Cal Fire Chapter 7A ignition-resistant requirements apply in Felton’s Wildland-Urban Interface zones, and that includes specific glazing and frame requirements for new windows. We specify Mr-Glass units that meet the defensible space and ember-resistance standards for your specific lot. This is not optional on remodels in 95018.
Window replacement in Felton typically runs $4500 – $15000 depending on the number of units, whether we’re correcting out-of-square openings, and whether sill rot needs repair. Walk-in shower installation runs $4500 – $12000. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free, written estimate specific to your cabin.
