Mr-Glass Construction in Redwood City, CA | San Bruno Construction
We install, repair, and re-hang Mr-Glass frameless shower enclosures and glass systems across Redwood City, including the WUI hills, the flatland ranchers, and Redwood Shores. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider through San Bruno Construction, not a manufacturer-authorized shop, which means we’re free to tell you when a repair beats a replacement. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate.
The one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work different in Redwood City: we read the local framing and waterproofing before we touch the glass. A frameless panel in an Eichler-era flatland bath behaves nothing like one in an Emerald Hills hillside rebuild, and quoting the job correctly starts with knowing which one you’re standing in.
Why Redwood City Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass frameless shower doors are the kind of product that only works as well as the wall behind them. Redwood City’s housing stock runs from 1950s slab-on-grade ranchers in 94063 to 1970s custom hillside builds along the Edgewood Park edge, and each one poses a different set of problems for glass hardware. We’ve hung Mr-Glass enclosures in all of it.
Noel Carvalho, our owner, trained at Skyline College and has spent more than two decades running residential projects across San Mateo County. He’ll tell you straight if the real issue is a worn hinge or a stud that was never blocked properly behind the drywall. We carry OEM-grade Mr-Glass hinges, seals, and sweeps so a repair in Redwood City doesn’t wait a week on a parts shipment. And when a panel is sound, we re-hang it honestly instead of selling you a full replacement you don’t need.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Redwood City
- Bottom seals and sweep gaskets hardening and splitting. Redwood City’s wet winters and hot, dry summers swing the humidity hard, and rubber sweeps take the brunt of that cycle. Once they split, water tracks under the door and quietly rots the curb or the tile edge. We replace them with OEM-grade profiles matched to your Mr-Glass model.
- Hinge screws pulling loose from shallow flatland framing. The 1950s and 60s ranchers around downtown and 94061 often have shallow studs or furred-out walls with no blocking behind the shower. Glass is heavy. Screws that bite into nothing will loosen within a year. We open the wall enough to add solid blocking, then reset the hinge.
- Frameless panels racked on out-of-plumb Eichler-era walls. Post-and-beam construction moves over decades, and bath walls in those flatland Eichlers are rarely square. A Mr-Glass panel hung without accounting for that will drag, fail to close, and wear the handle-side seal early. We shim and reset so the door swings true.
- Cheap aftermarket hinges and clips pitting and seizing. Redwood City’s marine-layer humidity, especially west of El Camino, corrodes thin import hardware fast. Pitted pivots bind and stress the tempered glass edge. We carry Mr-Glass-compatible hardware with proper finishes, not the box-store substitutes.
- Water ponding against Redwood Shores curbs. Homes in 94065 sit on engineered fill, and the bathroom waterproofing is subject to strict soils and drainage review. If the enclosure’s silicone bead fails along the bottom, water has nowhere to go. We test the curb before we re-seal, because a failing curb means a bigger fix than a new sweep.
Mr-Glass Service in Redwood City: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Redwood City’s permit office serves a strange triangle within a few square miles: downtown podium high-rises, flatland Eichler remodels, and hillside WUI rebuilds in 94062. That matters for a bath glass job more than most people would think. An exterior-adjacent glazing detail in Emerald Hills has to satisfy Chapter 7A Wildland-Urban Interface code, while a nearly identical Mr-Glass enclosure down in the 94063 flatlands does not. Contractors who quote hillside work using standard downtown assemblies get it wrong, and the permit office catches it. We know which side of the line your house sits on before we write the estimate, so the glass you spec is the glass that passes inspection the first time.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Redwood City
We install and service the Mr-Glass Frameless Shower Door series, both hinged and pivot styles, along with the Neo-Angle and Corner frameless enclosures common in compact Redwood City master baths. Sliding and bypass Mr-Glass shower door systems show up often in West Menlo Park and Redwood Shores homes with wider openings, and we handle those too. Custom-cut tempered glass panels and mirrors for bath remodels round out the scope.
Parts approach: where the original Mr-Glass profile is still supported, we match OEM-grade hinges, seals, and sweeps. Where the OEM line is discontinued, we use quality aftermarket hardware that meets the spec, never the thin import hinges that seize in Redwood City’s marine layer within a season or two. We keep common profiles stocked locally so turnaround is measured in days, not weeks.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Redwood City
Interior shower enclosures generally don’t require special glass under Chapter 7A, but any exterior-adjacent glazing in a bathroom bump-out, skylight detail, or exterior door lite in the 94062 hills does, and the assembly has to meet WUI glazing standards. We confirm which details fall under WUI before ordering glass for any Emerald Hills job, so the permit review doesn’t stall. Call (866) 472-1908 if you’re unsure where your project falls.
It’s almost always a hardened or split bottom sweep. Redwood City’s wet winters and dry summers swing the seal material hard, and once it splits, water tracks under the door. The secondary suspect is the curb waterproofing, which we test when we replace the sweep. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll diagnose it in one visit.
Usually yes, if the glass panel is sound and the hinge hardware wasn’t the cheap import type. We add blocking behind the framing where it’s missing, reset the panel on fresh OEM-grade hinges, and re-seal the curb. You keep the enclosure, lose the leak. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll tell you after one look whether re-hanging makes sense.
Yes, but only if the install accounts for the rack. A frameless panel hung on an out-of-plumb post-and-beam wall will drag or fail to stay closed, and the handle-side seal will wear early. We shim and correct at the hinge line so the door moves through its swing cleanly. Call (866) 472-1908 and ask us to check the wall before you order anything.
We use OEM-grade Mr-Glass hinges and seals where the original profile is still supported, and quality aftermarket hardware only where the OEM line has been discontinued. We don’t install thin import hinges, full stop. If you’re in Redwood City and want to know what’s actually on your door, call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll identify it.
