Mr-Glass Construction in Daly City, CA | Framework Contractors

We’re Framework Contractors, an independent construction team serving Daly City and nearby areas with Colma Mr-Glass service, plus window, door, and shower enclosure repair, retrofit, and new installation. We’re not a Mr-Glass dealer or authorized service center – we’re the crew that’s templated, hung, and repaired these units on fog-belt hillside homes for years. What makes our Mr-Glass work different in Daly City is simple: we account for the marine-layer moisture and steep foundation movement that wrecks these enclosures from the wall side, not just the glass side.

Why Daly City Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service

We’ve worked on enough Mr-Glass enclosures across 94014, 94015, 94016, and 94017, plus Mr-Glass in Brisbane, to know exactly how they fail here. Fog-driven corrosion on lower rails, silicone that separates from damp stucco, rollers that bind when a hillside retaining wall shifts – these aren’t hypotheticals for us. Noel Carbajal grew up patching stucco and reroofing porches with his uncle before he was old enough to drive, and after studying Construction Technology at Santiago Canyon College, he spent nearly three decades learning how moisture and movement work against glass assemblies. That hands-on background is why we open the wall and check what’s behind the tile before we template a single panel. You get the Mr-Glass product line with the local installation judgment it actually requires.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Daly City

• Fog-driven corrosion on lower rails and hinges. Marine-layer moisture from the Pacific keeps the cool side of exterior walls damp year-round in Daly City. On garage-under bathrooms and hillside baths, that moisture attacks Mr-Glass anodized hardware long before the tempered glass shows any wear. We replace pitted rails and hinges with OEM or coastal-grade stainless before the corrosion spreads to the frame.
• Seal failure and mineral clouding on frameless panels. Many 1940s – 1960s Daly City homes still run on original galvanized plumbing. Hard water creeps into the glass surface, and once Mr-Glass seals go, the panel clouds in a way cleaning can’t fix. We re-seal, polish where possible, and replace only when the glass is too far gone.
• Rollers and tracks binding after foundation movement. Steep west-side Daly City streets put real stress on original retaining walls. When a wall moves even a quarter inch, the rough opening racks and the Mr-Glass slider drags. We re-shim the opening, square the track, and swap the rollers so the door glides and the sweep seals.
• Silicone and sweep failure at curb and wall junctions. Stucco walls on Daly City’s fog-belt hillsides wick moisture behind tile. The glass is fine, but the enclosure leaks because the substrate behind the tile never dried. We strip the junction, dry the wall cavity, and re-bed the curb with proper waterproofing before new silicone goes in.
• Retrofitting Mr-Glass window and patio door units. Older dual-pane Mr-Glass sliders on hillside homes lose their seal and take on fog between panes. We replace the insulated glass unit or the full sash, matched to the existing frame opening so the retrofit doesn’t require re-framing the wall.

Mr-Glass Service in Daly City: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment

Daly City is one of the foggiest incorporated cities in the continental U.S., and its 1940s – 1960s stucco-over-wood-frame tract homes sit on graded hillside lots with garage-under living space and original retaining walls. That means moisture condensing on the cool interior side of exterior walls keeps bath framing and the wall behind a shower perpetually damp. You can see it in neighborhoods like Westlake, where garage-under bathrooms share a wall with retained earth that never fully drains. What this does to Mr-Glass enclosures is specific: the wall behind the tile swells and shifts, pulling the frame out of plumb. Rollers bind. The lower rail pits. The curb silicone tears. The glass itself is usually sound. So before we template anything, we open the wall to see what’s actually wet, dry it properly, and only then hang the enclosure. That’s not a sales pitch – it’s the sequence that keeps a Mr-Glass unit square and sealing in this climate.

Build it right the first time – the second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy.

Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Daly City

We service the Mr-Glass frameless sliding shower door systems in the Serenity-series style, 3/8-inch tempered glass, along with semi-frameless pivot doors in anodized or oil-rubbed bronze. We also handle Mr-Glass vinyl and aluminum dual-pane retrofit windows and patio sliders, plus custom mirror and interior glass door assemblies. For fast Daly City turnaround, we keep common OEM rollers, hinges, sweeps, and seals on hand, and we stock aftermarket stainless or coastal-grade hardware where the OEM series is discontinued. We match glass thickness and door weight exactly – a 3/8-inch panel doesn’t get half-inch hardware because it was what the truck had.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Daly City

My Mr-Glass shower door drags and leaks at the bottom – is that the glass or the house?
It’s usually the house. On Daly City hillsides, retaining walls and fill settle, racking the opening so the door binds and the sweep lifts. We square and shim the opening, replace the rollers, and re-hang the panels so they seal. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll tell you which it is.

Why does the hardware on my Mr-Glass enclosure keep corroding here when it didn’t inland?
The marine layer. Daly City’s persistent coastal fog keeps exterior walls damp, and that moisture migrates into bath framing, attacking hinges and lower rails from behind. We swap corroded hardware for coastal-grade stainless and deal with the wall moisture so it stops coming back.

Can we convert our old tub into a Mr-Glass walk-in shower in a 1950s Daly City home?
Yes, and it’s one of the most common remodels we do on these mid-century stucco homes. The catch is the wall: garage-under baths and exterior walls are often holding moisture. We open and dry the wall, re-work the drain and waterproofing, then install the Mr-Glass walk-in. Expect $3500 – $10000 depending on glass and wall scope.

Will a new frameless Mr-Glass enclosure stop the moisture problem in my bathroom?
No. The enclosure keeps water in the shower, but it does nothing about moisture already in the wall behind the tile. On Daly City fog-belt homes we fix the damp substrate first, then install the glass. Skip that step and the new silicone will fail the same way the old one did.

Do you have to special-order glass for a garage-under bathroom with a low, irregular ceiling?
Usually, yes. Garage-under baths in Daly City have lower ceilings and off-square corners. We field-measure and template the exact opening, then order glass cut to fit. Stock panels won’t work. The quote accounts for the glass lead time.
