Mr-Glass Construction in Orange, CA | Daly City Construction
We install and service Mr-Glass shower enclosures, mirrors, and glass panels across Orange, CA, and also offer Mr-Glass service in North Tustin. What makes our Mr-Glass work here different is straightforward: we know which bathroom walls in this city are square and which have crept out of plumb over 70 years of Santa Ana dry-season movement. If you need a frameless enclosure templated to an opening that’s off by half an inch, or a tub-to-shower conversion that has to pass Old Towne historic review, call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll come measure.
We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate, with Mr-Glass repair in Tustin available as well. That means we order OEM frames, hinges, and rollers where they’re still made, and switch to quality aftermarket stainless hardware when a discontinued trim line forces it. Our crews work across every Orange ZIP from 92863 through 92866, and we’re familiar with what the housing stock actually does to glass over time.
Why Orange Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Homeowners in Orange call us because we’ve spent years templating and installing Mr-Glass enclosures inside two very different kinds of bathrooms: the 1900s-1930s Craftsman and bungalow baths in Old Towne, and the mid-century tract bathrooms out in 92865 and 92867. Those are not the same job. A 1920s alcove wall is rarely plumb. A 1960s tract opening is usually close, but the framing has often settled enough that a stock enclosure will still fight you.
We carry OEM-compatible Mr-Glass rollers, sweeps, and hinge packs for the common trim lines, so a door that’s dragging or letting water wick behind the curb doesn’t mean waiting on a factory backorder. Noel Cabrera grew up in the Westlake district of Daly City watching half the houses on his block need the same structural corrections, and he trained in construction technology at City College of San Francisco before spending years on residential jobs across San Mateo and San Francisco counties. He runs our Orange jobs the same way he runs them everywhere: tell me what the house needs, not what you think it needs, then we’ll figure out the right fix.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Orange
- Roller and track wear in 92865/92867 tract bathrooms. Mid-century openings were rarely set dead plumb, and after decades of use the top rollers wear unevenly. The door drops, drags on the curb, or swings open on its own. We match OEM Mr-Glass rollers where the line is still produced, and rebuild the track alignment before anything gets re-hung.
- Seal and sweep failure in Old Towne homes with original tile surrounds. This is the top call we get in the 1900s-1930s stock. The original curb was often built low, and once the bottom sweep hardens or tears, water wicks behind the curb and into the mud bed. We replace the sweep with the proper Mr-Glass extrusion and re-check the curb slope so the glass isn’t doing work the tile should be doing.
- Hinge and clamp corrosion on tub-to-shower conversions. Orange bathrooms built in the 1950s and 60s often have undersized venting. The wet zone stays humid year-round, and plated hinge hardware corrodes. We move clients to stainless hinge packs and coated clamps when we convert, because plated parts fail inside three seasons in these rooms.
- Glass stressing and edge chips at hinges. Santa Ana dry-season shrinkage moves slab and stucco enough that walls drift out of square. When an enclosure was installed tight against a wall that later moved, the glass picks up stress at the hinge point and chips. We template to the actual opening, not the nominal size, and we never order glass to a framing dimension we haven’t personally verified.
- Water pooling behind the curb on low-threshold neo-angle enclosures. Orange gets both Santa Ana dry air and the occasional heavy winter storm, and the swing between the two makes sealant joints fail faster than people expect. We re-set the curb flashing, re-seal with a polyurethane caulk rated for the movement, and remount the Mr-Glass threshold so the weep channels drain properly.
Mr-Glass Service in Orange: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Old Towne Orange’s Mills Act contracts require period-correct materials for any street-visible change, but a bathroom remodel inside those 1900s-1930s Craftsman homes still has to meet current safety glazing code. That’s a real tension, and it’s the reason our Mr-Glass work here doesn’t look like a spec sheet. We template and finish enclosures so the glass reads period-appropriate from the hallway while still carrying the required tempered mark and meeting impact-resistance standards.
We took a tub-to-shower conversion in an Old Towne Craftsman a few blocks off the Plaza where the 1920s alcove walls were out of plumb by nearly an inch and the original cast-iron drain needed reworking before anything went on the walls. Once framing was corrected and the tile set, we templated a custom frameless Mr-Glass enclosure with coated stainless hinges so the door closed clean without shimming the sweep. The finished opening squared up only because the glass was cut on site, not ordered to nominal dimensions. That’s the difference between knowing Orange’s housing stock and just shipping a standard enclosure into it.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Orange
We install and service the full Mr-Glass shower line: frameless sliding door systems, semi-frameless bi-pass enclosures, pivot and neo-angle doors, and custom-cut mirror and glass panel runs. On parts we’re direct about what makes sense. We match OEM Mr-Glass frames, hinges, and rollers where they’re still available. When a 20-year-old trim line is discontinued, we drop to quality aftermarket stainless hardware, never cheap plated parts. For Orange turnaround, we keep the common sweeps, roller packs, and hinge kits in our local stock, so most repairs don’t wait on shipping. On older enclosures we repair tracks and seals if the glass is sound. Once a door is chipped at the hinge or the panel has lost its tempering integrity, we recommend replacement rather than a patch that fails again in a season.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Orange
What you’ll pay depends mostly on what’s behind the tile and whether the opening is square. A straight shower replacement in a 1960s tract bathroom runs on the lower end. A tub-to-shower conversion in an Old Towne home where the framing needs correction and the drain needs reworking runs higher. Here are our current Orange price ranges:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 – $3,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
Every estimate is free, and we give you a written line-item quote before we start, so you know exactly what the enclosure costs and what the framing, drain, or tile prep costs. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll come out, measure, and give you a number you can actually build on.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Orange
Interior bathroom work that isn’t visible from the street generally does not trigger historic design review, even inside a Mills Act property. What does get reviewed is any exterior window or structural change. If your bathroom remodel includes replacing exterior glazing, that’s where the design review process kicks in, and we coordinate with the city on code-required safety glazing that keeps the period look intact, working with a General Contractor in Orange when structural changes are needed. Call (866) 505-5254 if you’re not sure which side of the line your project falls on.
Almost always, the opening has drifted out of level or the top track has sagged. In Orange’s 92865 and 92867 tract homes, decades of Santa Ana dry-season shrinkage and slab movement pull walls off square, and the door responds by dropping, dragging, or swinging toward the low side. We re-level the track, replace worn OEM rollers, and re-hang the panel to the actual opening, not the original framing assumptions.
They can be. Those openings were usually built close to standard, but rarely dead plumb, and the venting is often undersized for a modern glass enclosure. We template on site and adjust the curb slope and venting as part of the install, so the enclosure doesn’t trap humidity and the door doesn’t fight the opening.
Yes. The Mills Act binds the exterior and character-defining features, not the interior plumbing layout. What we watch for is that any new glazing meets current safety code while the finished room still reads consistent with an early-20th-century house. That’s an aesthetic execution question, and it’s one we’ve solved repeatedly in Old Towne. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll walk you through what the conversion involves.
In Orange, a tub-to-shower conversion typically runs $3,500 to $10,000 depending on framing corrections, drain rework, and the Mr-Glass hardware tier. Old Towne homes with out-of-plumb alcove walls and original cast-iron drains sit at the higher end. Call (866) 505-5254 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
