Mr-Glass Construction in Sausalito, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent Mr-Glass sales, service, and installation across Sausalito, from frameless shower enclosures to deck-mounted glass railings and sliding patio doors. What makes our Mr-Glass work different here is simple: we plan every job around steep-lot access, salt air, and the reality that most Sausalito homes sit on slopes where a lift truck simply can’t park. Noel Carvalho and our San Bruno Construction crews have spent years working hillside and waterfront properties around Marin, so we know how Mr-Glass systems actually perform when Richardson Bay fog rolls in every morning. For Mr-Glass service in Sausalito, call (866) 472-1908.
Why Sausalito Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer. That matters more than it sounds like. Because we don’t answer to a brand program, our crews are free to recommend the right fix for your glass and glazing rather than the one a corporate playbook pushes. If a hinge can be rebuilt with an OEM seal, we’ll tell you. If a fogged insulated glass unit needs full replacement, we’ll tell you that too, straight up.
Noel Carvalho trained in construction technology at Skyline College in San Bruno, where he learned to read plans, understand load paths, and think through a project before a single tool comes out of the truck. Over two-plus decades he’s run residential projects across San Mateo County and Marin, coordinating ADU builds in tight side yards and finishing bathrooms where the tile lines actually line up. Our approach to Mr-Glass work in Sausalito carries that same discipline: we sequence the job around where the glass has to travel, how it sets, and how it’ll hold up five years from now.
We handle Mr-Glass sales & service as a full-scope general contractor, which means the same crew that installs your frameless shower enclosure can also handle the bathroom remodel behind it, or the window replacement on the same permit.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Sausalito
Marine air, steep grades, and old housing stock create predictable failure patterns. These are the calls we run most often in Sausalito:
- Corroded shower door hinges and pivots. Salt air off Richardson Bay attacks aluminum frames and hinge hardware on Mr-Glass shower units faster than almost any inland location. Hinges stiffen, finishes pit, and eventually the door won’t swing true. We replace hardware with corrosion-resistant components and reset the glass where the frame has shifted.
- Fogged or weeping sliding patio doors. Winter rain driven against hillside exposures finds its way behind sill and threshold seals on Mr-Glass sliding door units. Once moisture breaches the seal, insulated glass units fog and you get interior dampness along the track. We re-flash, re-seal, and replace IGUs where the seal has failed.
- Loose deck-mounted glass railing panels. Hillside decks in Sausalito shift and settle with the seasons. Mr-Glass railing panels mounted to those decks work loose at the shoe channels and anchors, especially after a wet winter. We reset the panels, re-anchor where the deck structure allows, and shim for the slope.
- Improperly flashed door installs on sloped lots. Many Mr-Glass door and enclosure installs on Sausalito hillsides were never properly flashed for wind-driven rain and downhill drainage. Water tracks along the frame and accelerates seal failure. We pull the unit, correct the flashing, and reset the frame so water drains away from the glass, not behind it.
- Hand-carried glass that was never right-sized. On lanes where trucks can’t stage, the wrong panel size becomes a two-man nightmare and a broken panel waiting to happen. We measure for the actual path the glass has to travel through the house and up the hillside, not just the opening itself.
Mr-Glass Service in Sausalito: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because so many Sausalito projects sit on steep headlands lots above Bridgeway, lifts and trucks often can’t reach the property. We’ve hand-carried Mr-Glass shower panels up narrow winding lanes with switchbacks so tight you can’t turn a wheelbarrow around. That changes how we approach every job: we right-size the glass for the path it actually has to travel, and we plan delivery so panels arrive when there’s a crew on hand to move them. A 3/8-inch tempered glass panel for a frameless shower enclosure weighs enough that two people on a 25-degree slope are working hard, and a misstep isn’t just a broken panel, it’s a safety problem. Good construction doesn’t announce itself, it just works, year after year. On Sausalito hillsides, that means glass that drains properly, hardware that won’t seize in salt air, and anchors that hold when the deck settles.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Sausalito
We service Mr-Glass custom frameless and semi-frameless shower enclosures, mirrored closet and wardrobe door systems, sliding glass and patio door units, and custom glass railing and balustrade panels for decks. For parts, we source OEM hardware and seals where fit and longevity matter. When OEM lead times would leave a shower or door unusable for weeks, we use quality aftermarket pivots, gaskets, and rollers that match the original geometry. We’ll always repair a sound Mr-Glass unit rather than push a full replacement. But we’re also direct when corrosion or a compromised frame makes replacement the smarter long-term call, especially on waterfront properties where the next salt-air cycle will hit the same hardware again.

Hillside access can add labor when glass has to be hand-carried up lanes where no lift or truck can stage. Salt-air corrosion can also mean replacing hardware at the same time as the glass, which we’ll always flag before we start, not after. Every estimate is free, written, and line-itemed.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Sausalito
Are you Mr-Glass authorized?
No. San Bruno Construction is an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not affiliated with or authorized by the manufacturer. That independence means we recommend the fix that’s actually right for your home and your budget, not the one a brand program pushes.
Why do my Mr-Glass shower door hinges keep stiffening in Sausalito?
Salt air off Richardson Bay corrodes the aluminum and steel hinge components on shower door hardware faster than inland installs. The corrosion builds up inside the pivot, and the door starts to drag or seize. We clean and rebuild the hardware where it’s salvageable, or replace with corrosion-resistant pivots and hinges. Call (866) 472-1908 for a hinge-and-hardware inspection, free with any service visit.
My hillside lot has no room for a lift or truck – can you still install a frameless shower enclosure?
Yes. We’ve hand-carried Mr-Glass panels up narrow winding lanes all over Sausalito’s hillside streets. We measure for the travel path, right-size the glass so it fits the actual route through the house, and schedule delivery when the crew is on site to move it. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll walk your access before we quote anything.
My Mr-Glass patio door fogs and shows moisture after winter storms. Can it be fixed?
Usually yes, but it depends on the failure point. If the seal around the sill or threshold has opened, we can re-flash, re-seal, and stop the water intrusion. If the insulated glass unit itself has lost its seal, the IGU needs replacement. We’ll open it up and tell you which one it is. Call (866) 472-1908 to schedule an inspection.
Can you replace a deck-mounted Mr-Glass railing panel that’s pulling loose on a sloped deck?
Yes. Hillside decks in Sausalito shift and settle, and railing panels mounted to them work loose over time. We’ll reset the panel, re-anchor where the deck framing allows, and shim the shoe channel so the glass sits level and secure. If the deck structure itself has degraded, we’ll tell you before we touch the glass. Call (866) 472-1908 for a deck-railing assessment.
