Mr-Glass Construction in Sunnyvale, CA | San Bruno Construction
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Sunnyvale, from frameless shower enclosures and custom mirrors to tempered glass railing systems. What makes our Mr-Glass work here different is simple: we know Sunnyvale’s Eichler-era slabs, hard water, and Neighborhood Preservation glazing rules well enough to spot problems before they turn into leaks or failed inspections. We’re a full-scope general contractor, not a manufacturer affiliate, so our recommendations are based on what actually holds up in Sunnyvale homes, not what a brand wants you to buy. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate.
Why Sunnyvale Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Noel Carvalho grew up off El Camino Real in San Bruno, trained in construction technology at Skyline College, and has run residential projects across San Mateo County for more than two decades. Good construction doesn’t announce itself – it just works, year after year. That’s the standard we bring to every Mr-Glass enclosure, mirror, and glass panel we install in Sunnyvale. We coordinate the trades so you don’t have to. If your frameless shower door is sagging because a 1950s slab floor has settled, we shim the channel, set the hinges right, and make sure the water stays where it belongs. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not authorized or endorsed by the brand. That independence means we’ll tell you straight when a repair beats a replacement and when it doesn’t. We use OEM Mr-Glass rollers, hinges, seals, and handles wherever the model is still supported, and match-quality aftermarket stainless hardware when a part is discontinued. Homeowners across the 94086, 94087, 94085, and 94089 ZIP codes call us because we show up with the right hardware and a plan, not a vague promise to “take a look.” For the full scope of our Mr-Glass work, see our Mr-Glass sales & service page.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Sunnyvale
- Sliding shower doors jumping the track. Sunnyvale’s hard water leaves mineral scale that grinds the bottom rollers on frameless sliding systems. The panel starts skipping, then jumps the track entirely. We replace worn OEM rollers, clean and true the track, and set the door so it glides instead of fighting the hardware.
- Seal and caulk failure at the wall channel. Lots of 1950s-60s Sunnyvale baths have no waterproofing membrane behind the tile. When the channel seal fails, shower spray wicks behind the tile and into the wall. We pull the old channel, inspect what’s behind it, and re-set the glass with a proper seal, not just a cosmetic recaulk.
- Hinge sag on pivot enclosures. Original slab-on-grade bathroom floors in Sunnyvale’s older tract homes are rarely level. One hinge carries more weight than the other, the door sags, and eventually the glass edge chips out. We shim the wall channel and reset the hinges so the load distributes evenly.
- Tempered glass edge damage during remodels. When old single-pane window glass and shower glass get replaced in the same project, rushed handling chips panel edges. A chipped tempered edge is a breakage risk. We handle glass carefully, inspect every edge before install, and replace panels that won’t pass.
- Exterior window seal leaks on the same wall as the shower. Winter rain off the Santa Cruz Mountains drives moisture past failing flashings. If your shower wall shares an exterior window, the leak you see inside may start outside. We check both while we’re working.
Mr-Glass Service in Sunnyvale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Sunnyvale’s Planning Department enforces Neighborhood Preservation design review, and that rule reaches places most contractors never think to look. Replacement glass on visible elevations must match the home’s approved glazing profile. In the Eichler and ranch neighborhoods of the 94086 and 94087 ZIP codes, original single-pane glass is part of the streetscape, and the city protects that character. If you’re replacing a shower enclosure or window on a street-facing wall, the glass type, tint, and framing profile can trigger a design review request. We’ve pulled the permits on enough Sunnyvale projects to know which elevations get flagged and which sail through. On an Eichler-era ranch in the 94087 ZIP, our crew tore out a failing 1990s shower and found the original slab out of level by nearly half an inch, so we shimmed the wall channel and set a new Mr-Glass frameless pivot enclosure with OEM hinges to keep the door from sagging. We also re-caulked the exterior window seals on the same wall, because the winter rain coming off the Santa Cruz Mountains had been wicking past old flashing into the bath. That’s the difference between replacing glass and fixing the problem behind it. If you’re in Sunnyvale, this is your daily reality.

Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Sunnyvale
We work on the full range of Mr-Glass product lines: frameless sliding shower door systems with 3/8″ glass panels, pivot and neo-angle frameless shower enclosures, custom mirrors and glass shelving installs, and tempered glass railing and panel systems. For every model, we verify glass thickness and hole spacing before ordering any hardware. Our parts approach is simple: OEM Mr-Glass rollers, hinges, seals, and handles when the model is still supported; match-quality aftermarket stainless hardware when a part is discontinued. On enclosures older than about 15 years with multiple failed hinges or a chipped panel edge, we’ll usually recommend replacement over repeated repairs because a new tempered panel is the safer call. We carry common Mr-Glass-compatible rollers and seals in our truck stock for faster Sunnyvale turnarounds, and we confirm lead times on less common hardware before we schedule your install.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Sunnyvale
Will a frameless Mr-Glass shower enclosure work in my 1950s Sunnyvale ranch bathroom with a slab-on-grade floor?
Yes, and we install them regularly in Sunnyvale’s 1950s-60s ranch homes, but the slab’s level matters. If the floor is out of level, the hinges load unevenly and the door sags. We check the slab first, shim the wall channel as needed, and set the enclosure so the door swings true. Call (866) 472-1908 and we’ll check your specific bathroom.
Does Sunnyvale’s design review affect replacing glass in my shower or windows?
It can, and that’s the part most contractors miss. Sunnyvale’s Neighborhood Preservation standards require replacement glass on visible elevations to match the home’s approved glazing profile. If your shower or window faces the street in the 94086 or 94087 ZIP codes, your glass choice may need city review. We handle that paperwork as part of the project. Call (866) 472-1908 for a free estimate that includes a design-review check.
My Mr-Glass sliding shower door keeps jumping the track – repair or replace?
If the rollers are worn from hard-water scale and the track is clean, we replace the OEM rollers and you’re done. If the panel edge is chipped, the glass is over 15 years old, or the track is bent, replacement is usually the safer call. We’ll tell you which one applies to your door, not the one that’s easier for us.
How long does a frameless shower enclosure install take during a bathroom remodel?
For a standard replacement enclosure, one day on-site for removal of the old unit and setting the new glass, with cure time for the sealant after. If the floor is out of level and we’re shimming the channel or repairing waterproofing behind the tile, expect the shower portion to run two to three days within your larger remodel schedule.
Do you use OEM Mr-Glass parts or aftermarket hardware?
We use OEM Mr-Glass rollers, hinges, seals, and handles whenever the model is still supported by the manufacturer. If an OEM part is discontinued, we use match-quality aftermarket stainless hardware, always confirming glass thickness and hole spacing before installation. Your estimate lists exactly which hardware we’re using and why.
