Mr-Glass Construction in Redlands, CA | Daly City Construction
We provide independent Mr-Glass construction and glass service across Redlands, including the 92373, 92374, and 92375 ZIP codes, with Mr-Glass repair in Mentone also available nearby. The thing that sets our work apart here is simple: we custom-measure every frameless enclosure against the actual wall, because Redlands’ historic-core homes built from 1880s to 1930s have plaster-and-redwood framing that’s rarely plumb or square. Call us at (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate on shower enclosures, glass railing, mirrored systems, and tub-to-shower conversions.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We hang Mr-Glass glass every week, so the hardware and tolerances aren’t a mystery to us. That matters when you’re dealing with a home in the Smiley Heights area or anywhere in the 92373 ZIP where original walls bow and settle. We know the Mr-Glass Frameless Shower Enclosure series, the Sliding Shower Door systems with By-Pass and Bypass-Roller hardware, Custom Mirrors and Mirrored Closet Doors, and Glass Railing panels. We use Mr-Glass OEM parts for rollers, pivots, hinges, sweeps, and gaskets, because the glass itself rarely fails, the moving parts do.
Noel Cabrera grew up in the Westlake district of Daly City, where half the houses on his block were built in the same postwar tract-home wave. He trained in construction technology at City College of San Francisco and spent years swinging a hammer on residential and light commercial jobs across San Mateo and San Francisco counties. Today he runs Mr-Glass sales & service work the same way he runs every job: 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 Redlands
- Hard-water etching and citrus-belt dust film on shower glass. Redlands water carries minerals that bake onto tempered glass during 100°F+ summer days. What looks like a defect is usually mineral haze that can be treated, not a panel that needs replacing.
- Roller and pivot fatigue on Mr-Glass sliding and by-pass doors. Nylon rollers flatten and top tracks loosen from framing after years of thermal cycling. The door starts dragging, then drops out of plumb and the gap at the bottom sweep opens up.
- Seal and gasket failure at the bottom sweep and wall jambs. On original plaster walls in the historic core, a failed sweep lets water migrate behind tile. It’s a common miss on frameless enclosures set against walls that were never perfectly straight.
- Anchor pull-out and out-of-plumb fitment on old-growth framing. Factory-standard glass measured for new construction doesn’t match a 1920s opening. Stock-size panels crack or leave gaps when torqued into place against redwood framing and plaster.
- Tub-to-shower conversions that need custom glass work. Many downtown Redlands homeowners want the tub gone but the original bath footprint kept. That’s a job where the enclosure has to be measured to what’s actually there, not what the spec sheet assumes.
Mr-Glass Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what nobody tells you about Redlands specifically: the 92373 ZIP around downtown and Smiley Heights sits close to the old citrus groves and the City’s historic-preservation review, so installing a frameless Mr-Glass enclosure against original redwood framing and plaster walls often means custom-measuring to a wall that’s out of plumb. A stock new-construction panel won’t fit. That same downtown Smiley Heights housing stock is exactly where owners are converting tubs to walk-in showers and want glass that respects the original bath footprint. Meanwhile, the hot-summer Mediterranean climate with Santa Ana winds means attics get scorching, bathrooms get humid, and the gaskets and sweeps on shower glass see more thermal stress in one Redlands summer than a coastal install sees in five years. We measure to the actual opening every time. If you’re in the 92373 historic core, the wall behind your tile was probably framed before California had a uniform building code, and that changes how glass gets anchored.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We service the full Mr-Glass residential line: Frameless Shower Enclosure series in Semi-Frameless and Frameless 3/8″ and 1/2″ glass, Sliding Shower Door systems using By-Pass and Bypass-Roller hardware, Custom Mirrors and Mirrored Closet / Wardrobe Doors, and Glass Railing and Panels in Semi-Frameless and Frameless balustrade. For Redlands turnaround, we stock the OEM rollers, pivots, hinges, sweeps, and gaskets that fail most often. When a panel is sound, we repair and re-hang it. We only recommend replacement when the glass is chipped at a hinge edge or the panel is out of spec for the opening. That’s repair-first, replace-when-necessary, and it’s how we’d want our own homes handled.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Redlands
Yes, and that’s actually the kind of job we do most often in Redlands. We measure every wall and opening on site, then order or adjust the glass to match what’s really there. A Craftman-era plaster wall over redwood framing is never square, so the enclosure gets shimmed, anchored to the studs, and sealed so water stays in the shower. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free measurement and quote.
Almost always a repair. The glass panel is usually fine; the nylon rollers are flattened and the top track has loosened from its framing. We replace the rollers, sweep, and jambs with OEM Mr-Glass parts and re-anchor the track into the studs. On a Smiley Heights bungalow in the 92373 ZIP, our crew pulled a leaking by-pass Mr-Glass door and found the top track had loosened from original plaster over redwood framing and the nylon rollers were flat. We re-anchored the track into the studs behind the plaster, replaced the moving parts with OEM Mr-Glass pieces, and re-hung the sound glass so the door glides true and the wall behind the tile stays dry. If the glass is chipped at a hinge edge, we’ll tell you replacement is the right call.
It’s a combination. The minerals in Redlands water bond to the glass when the surface gets hot, and a 100°F+ day accelerates that. The haze is mineral etching, not a glass defect, and in most cases it can be treated. The moving parts, not the glass, are what actually wear out from thermal cycling. Call (866) 505-5254 and we can assess what you’re dealing with.
We’re an independent construction outfit that installs and services Mr-Glass products every week. Mr-Glass doesn’t authorize or warrant our work. Our credibility comes from thousands of hours hanging their glass in Inland Empire homes, not from a badge. The parts we install are Mr-Glass OEM, and we stand behind our labor, whether it’s here or our Highland Mr-Glass service.
A frameless custom-measured enclosure runs $4,500 to $12,000. A full tub-to-shower conversion with a Mr-Glass enclosure is $3,500 to $10,000. A shower door re-hang and reseal is $3,000 to $8,500. The exact figure depends on wall condition, opening size, and whether we’re repairing hardware or cutting new glass.
