Mr-Glass Construction in Santa Ana, CA | Daly City Construction
We’re Daly City Construction, an independent Mr-Glass service in Tustin and Santa Ana’s older stucco and bungalow neighborhoods. The quick answer: we install, retrofit, and repair Mr-Glass shower enclosures and glazing across Santa Ana, and the one thing that makes our work here different from any other market is how much time we spend fixing the framing around the glass, not just the glass itself. In Santa Ana, out-of-square openings and unpermitted past work decide what a Mr-Glass job actually costs and how long it takes. Call (866) 505-5254 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass enclosure, tub-to-shower conversion, or walk-in shower project in Santa Ana.
Why Santa Ana Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve spent years retrofitting Mr-Glass frameless doors, pivot enclosures, and semi-frameless tub-to-shower glass into bathrooms built between the 1920s and 1970s. That matters in Santa Ana because almost none of those rooms are square, level, or plumb. Noel Cabrera, our owner, trained in construction technology at City College of San Francisco and spent years swinging a hammer on residential jobs across San Mateo and San Francisco counties before building Daly City Construction around multi-trade renovation work. When a Mr-Glass panel needs to fit a 1950s alcove that’s out of plumb by three-quarters of an inch, we re-frame and block the opening before we template the glass. That’s not a luxury step in Santa Ana; it’s the only way the door closes clean and the sweep seals. We’re an independent contractor, not authorized or backed by Mr-Glass, so we can be straight with you about when a repair saves the glass and when replacement is the smarter spend.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Santa Ana
- Roller and track wear from dust-laden Santa Ana wind cycles. The dry summer air and seasonal Santa Ana winds push fine grit into bottom tracks. Within a couple seasons, sliding Mr-Glass doors start to jump or drag. We clean, re-align, and replace worn rollers with spec-quality aftermarket or OEM Mr-Glass hardware, matched to the load rating.
- Out-of-square frameless panels in pre-1960s bungalows. Stock panels templated to nominal dimensions leave uneven gaps at the sweep, and water escapes at the curb. We site-template every panel to the actual opening in your Santa Ana bathroom, not the blueprint dimensions.
- Hinge and wall-clamp failures from settled framing. Many Santa Ana homes have unpermitted past additions that changed the bath footprint and left framing that was never re-plumbed. Swing-door hinges and clamps pull loose. We re-block the wall, then re-hang the door on solid backing.
- Seal and sweep degradation from hard inland water and heat cycling. Mineral film etches tempered glass and stiffens vinyl sweeps, especially on south-facing walls in Santa Ana’s hotter inland zones. We replace sweeps and recommend sealing routines that extend glass life.
- Framing rack so severe the panel won’t close. Some older Spanish and Mediterranean stucco homes have moved enough that no hinge adjustment will fix the door. We’ll tell you plainly when a site-templated replacement is the better spend than fighting a racked frame.
Mr-Glass Service in Santa Ana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most Mr-Glass owners in Santa Ana don’t learn until the project is already underway: the city runs its own building department, separate from the county, and because the historic core and surrounding tracts are full of unpermitted past additions and conversions, a shower or bathroom rework here often has to bring the existing framing up to record and pass a city inspection before new glass can be signed off. That sequencing step rarely surfaces in the newer master-planned cities ringing Santa Ana. In those places, you swap glass and move on. Here, a tub-to-shower conversion on a street like one off the historic core near downtown might begin with pulling a permit, opening the wall, and documenting the framing. On one older Spanish-stucco bungalow we opened for a tub-to-shower conversion, the rear wall was out of plumb by nearly an inch, with original framing that had never been pulled for the prior owner’s addition. We re-squared and blocked the opening, upgraded the valve while the wall was open, then templated and set a custom Mr-Glass frameless enclosure so the door closed clean and the curb sweep sealed tight. No stock panel would have fit that opening. Tell me what the house needs, not what you think it needs, then we’ll figure out the right fix.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Santa Ana
We work on the full Mr-Glass lineup that shows up in Santa Ana bathrooms: frameless sliding shower doors, pivot and bi-fold enclosures, semi-frameless tub-to-shower glass, and custom-cut tempered panels for non-standard openings. Our parts approach is direct: we use OEM Mr-Glass hardware where the specific model is still supported, and spec-quality aftermarket rollers, hinges, and sweeps where OEM is discontinued or overpriced, always matching finish and load rating. For Santa Ana’s faster turnaround, we keep common roller sets, hinges, and sweeps in our local stock so most repairs don’t wait on a parts order. If you’re deciding between a repair and a replacement, we’ll show you the numbers on both before you commit.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Santa Ana
Mr-Glass work in Santa Ana costs more than in newer neighborhoods because the framing work is usually part of the job, not an add-on. The ranges below reflect what we see across 92706, 92707, 92711, and 92712, and they assume the existing framing is brought into code where required by the city.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
What drives the number is the condition of the framing, whether the valve and drain need upgrading, and whether the city requires an inspection before glass goes in. Our free estimate includes a site visit, measurements, and a written line-item quote, no change orders later. Call (866) 505-5254 to get an exact number for your Santa Ana bathroom.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Santa Ana
In most cases, yes. Santa Ana’s city building department treats a shower enclosure swap that changes the plumbing or structural backing as permit work, and because so many older Santa Ana homes have unpermitted past additions, the inspection often covers the framing behind the glass, not just the glass itself.
Usually not cleanly. Pre-1960s bungalows and stucco tracts in Santa Ana settle, and walls drift out of plumb. We site-template every panel to the actual opening, because a stock panel leaves uneven gaps at the sweep and water escapes at the curb.
Santa Ana’s dry summer air and seasonal wind cycles push fine grit into the bottom track. The grit packs in, the door starts to jump or drag, and the rollers grind down. Replacing them with spec-quality hardware matched to the load rating fixes it, but the real fix is keeping the track clean through the dusty months. Call (866) 505-5254 if you’re hearing that jump or drag; we’ll get it rolling smooth.
We upgrade the valve while the wall is open if it’s original, because accessing it later means pulling glass and tile. The drain gets checked for code compliance at the same time. It adds to the cost, but it’s the cheaper way to do it compared to re-opening the wall in two years. For a scoped quote on a tub-to-shower conversion in Santa Ana, call (866) 505-5254.
Yes. We’ve done it repeatedly in Santa Ana. The sequence is: bring the existing framing to record, pass the city inspection, then template and set the glass. If the framing can’t be brought into code without major rework, we’ll tell you before you spend money on glass, because putting new glass on a bad frame is a waste of yours. Call (866) 505-5254 and we’ll look at what you actually have.
