Mr-Glass Construction in Redlands, CA | Framework Contractors
We’re an independent glass and General Contractor in Redlands, CA, not a Mr-Glass dealer or manufacturer representative. What makes our Mr-Glass work here different is simple: we understand the citrus-era homes most Redlands glass jobs live inside. If your shower surround or window is failing in a 1908 Craftsman near Smiley Park or a 1960s tract house off Sunset Drive, the glass is rarely the root problem. The wall behind it is. Call us at (844) 681-3590 and we’ll sort out what’s actually going on.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Noel Carbajal grew up patching stucco and reroofing porches with his uncle on weekends, long before he spent three decades building and remodeling across Orange County and the Inland Empire. That background matters when you’re working on Redlands houses, because the framing tells the story before the glass ever does. We don’t just swap shower doors. We check the rough opening, the header, the threshold, and the waterproofing behind the tile, because those are the things that decide whether the glass will still be square five years from now.
We cover all three Redlands ZIP codes, 92373, 92374, and 92375, so whether you’re in the historic core near downtown or a newer tract north of the 10, we’re local enough to know what your house was built like. You can learn more about how we approach the brand on our Mr-Glass sales & service page, and see where we work across the region on the Redlands service area page. When OEM parts are discontinued, we match profiles and source quality aftermarket pivots, hinges, rollers, and sweeps instead of telling you to replace everything. That’s been the difference between a $600 repair and a $6,000 gut job more times than we can count.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
- Out-of-square shower openings from settled citrus-era framing. On century-old Redlands Craftsman homes, walls have often settled a half-inch or more. Glass ordered off nominal dimensions then binds at the corners, chips at the edges, or leaks at the sweep. We re-template the opening and correct the framing rather than forcing a panel that was never going to fit.
- Failed pivot seals and hinge corrosion in 92373 bathrooms. Hard water from Redlands’ municipal supply leaves mineral deposits that eat through seals and accelerate hinge wear on frameless Mr-Glass shower enclosures. In older baths where the walls were never plumb to begin with, the hinge takes extra load, and that’s where failures start.
- Weatherstripping and sweep failure from dry heat and Santa Ana winds. The hot, dry Inland summers and those fall Santa Ana events crack and shrink vinyl sweeps and weatherstripping long before the tempered glass shows any wear. We see this constantly on sliding tub-shower doors and bypass units across 92374.
- Roller and track wear on mid-century tract bypass doors. In 1960s and 1970s Redlands houses, the original framing and headers were often undersized. That puts extra pressure on the rollers and tracks of Mr-Glass bypass shower doors and mirrored closet doors, so the doors start dragging, jumping, or coming off track.
- Leaks at the sweep where the shower pan was never flashed right. Redlands’ citrus-era bathrooms frequently have showers tucked onto original wood framing without the waterproofing you’d require today. The Mr-Glass enclosure gets blamed for a leak that actually starts in the pan or the curb. We fix the source, not just the symptom.
Mr-Glass Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something we know from years of work in Redlands that you won’t hear from a generic glass installer: the city’s downtown and Smiley Park neighborhoods hold an unusually large inventory of 1890s to 1920s citrus-boom Craftsman and Victorian homes, and a surprising number of them have unpermitted additions or converted garages that were tacked on decades ago. Before we template any Mr-Glass in Colton or Redlands enclosure, we verify what was actually permitted and whether the rough opening is where the city thinks it is. In the Victoria district near Cajon Street, we’ve found bathrooms added to the back of houses with zero record of the work ever being filed. That matters because a shower leaking through an old, unpermitted wall doesn’t just ruin drywall. It can trigger a code compliance issue when you eventually sell. So we check the permit history, check the framing, and only then order glass. That’s a sequence most glass companies never run through, and it’s the difference between a job that lasts and one that resurfaces in escrow.
We ran into exactly this on a Craftsman-era home near Smiley Park. A tub-to-shower conversion kept binding because the original bathroom wall had settled several inches out of plumb. We opened the wall, corrected the framing, and re-templated a frameless Mr-Glass repair in Mentone and Redlands swing enclosure with adjustable hinges and a custom-cut panel. While we were in there, we found a converted-garage bath on the same property that had never been permitted, so we walked the owner through legalizing it before we ordered the glass. Build it right the first time, the second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We service the full Mr-Glass residential line across Redlands: semi-frameless bypass shower doors, frameless swing shower enclosures with 3/8-inch tempered glass, framed sliding tub-shower doors, and mirrored bypass closet doors. When the original hardware is still serviceable, we match the Mr-Glass profiles precisely. When OEM parts are discontinued, we source quality aftermarket pivots, hinges, rollers, sweeps, and seals that fit the original track geometry. We keep common Redlands failure parts stocked locally so we’re not waiting on a distributor in another county. And we carry the full-envelope scope that most glass-only shops can’t touch, which matters here because a shower leak in a Redlands house is usually a framing problem, not a glass problem.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Redlands
What your Mr-Glass repair or remodel costs in Redlands depends on two things: the scope of the glass work and the condition of the framing behind it. A simple shower replacement with standard hardware sits at the low end of the range. A full bathroom remodel with a frameless enclosure, corrected framing, and waterproofing runs higher, because you’re paying for structural work, not just glass. Here’s what we see across Redlands:
| Service | Typical Range in Redlands |
|---|---|
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Roof Repair | $400 – $1,800 |
| Tile Roof Repair | $600 – $2,500 |
Every estimate we write is line-item, and our quotes are free. We’ll never sell you a cosmetic glass replacement over a structural issue that will come back. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll walk through your job and give you real numbers.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Redlands
Yes, in most cases. A frameless Mr-Glass swing enclosure with adjustable hinges and a custom-cut 3/8-inch tempered panel can be templated to an out-of-plumb opening without tearing out the entire wall. But if the wall has settled more than about three-quarters of an inch or the framing is compromised, we’d recommend correcting the framing first. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll tell you which camp your bathroom falls into.
Usually yes, but the sequence matters. We verify what the county and city have on record before ordering glass or opening walls. If the addition was never permitted, we walk you through the process to legalize it before or during the remodel. That protects you on resale and avoids red flags in escrow. We’ve guided Redlands homeowners through this more times than we can count. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free assessment of your specific property.
The glass itself will be fine. Tempered glass doesn’t care about 105-degree afternoons or the occasional gust off the San Gorgonio Pass. What fails are the vinyl sweeps, weatherstripping, and seals that dry out and crack in Redlands’ low-humidity summers and dusty Santa Ana events. We use upgraded, UV-stable seals and inspect them annually as part of our roof and exterior work. Call (844) 681-3590 and ask us about the seal materials we spec for Redlands specifically.
We do. We’re a full-envelope general contractor, so the same crew that templates your Mr-Glass shower enclosure can also repair your roof, reflash your chimney, or replace broken tile. For Redlands’ older homes, that’s often the same job, because a roof leak above the bathroom is what started the wall movement in the first place. We also handle Mr-Glass service in Loma Linda. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll look at the whole property, not just the glass.
Because the framing underneath is different. In 92373, you’re dealing with century-old redwood and fir framing that’s settled, sometimes unevenly, and was never watched for square. In 92374’s mid-century tracts, the framing is younger but often undersized, especially the headers over door and window openings. That changes what the glass hangs on and what hardware we spec. A bypass door that works fine in a 92374 tract might bind in a 92373 Craftsman without adjustable rollers and a re-templated opening. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll tailor the install to your specific house.
