Mr-Glass Construction in Los Gatos, CA | Framework Contractors
We install and service Mr-Glass shower enclosures and glass assemblies across Los Gatos, from the downtown flats to the steep lots above Highway 17. The one thing that separates our Mr-Glass work here is that we don’t just replace glass and hardware – we account for how Los Gatos soil and hillside movement throws enclosures out of square and makes doors bind. Call (844) 681-3590 for a free estimate, and you’ll get a clear answer on whether your Mr-Glass setup needs a re-hang, a re-seal, or a full replacement.
Why Los Gatos Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass makes a solid enclosure – frameless hinged units in 3/8″ and 1/2″ tempered glass, sliding bypass tub doors, neo-angle corner enclosures, and custom-cut panels. But the hardware and silicone don’t live in a showroom. They live in Los Gatos bathrooms, where clay soil shifts under slabs, winter storms push water at foundations, and older homes built before modern ventilation standards trap moisture. That’s where our experience runs deep.
Noel Carbajal, our owner at Framework Contractors, grew up on job sites in Santa Ana before spending three decades building and remodeling across Southern California and now the Bay Area. He’s not the type to slap a new panel on a racked frame and call it done. Our crew measures for plumb and square first, then decides what the glass and hardware actually need. We’re an independent Lexington Hills Mr-Glass service provider – not authorized or endorsed by the manufacturer – so our loyalty is to getting the geometry right for your house, not to selling a specific part number.
We work with OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, pivots, and sweeps where the original hardware is still serviceable. When OEM parts are discontinued, or when a better-rated stainless fitting will outlast a piece that keeps corroding, we say so and explain the tradeoff. You’ll know what you’re paying for and why. That’s how we handle Mr-Glass sales & service across every market we work in.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Los Gatos
- Hinges and pivots loosening or corroding. Frameless Mr-Glass enclosures depend on hardware that stays tight and clean. In older Craftsman and mid-century ranch bathrooms in the 95030 and 95032 flats, the original exhaust fans were rarely upgraded – humidity builds, chrome pits, and brass pivots seize. We replace worn hardware and can recommend ventilation fixes that keep the new parts from failing the same way.
- Doors binding and dragging after the rainy season. On the 95033 side along Highway 17, clay soil swells and settles through winter storms. The wall your Mr-Glass enclosure hangs on may have moved a few degrees out of plumb. The door starts sticking on the curb or swinging crooked. This is a re-fit job, not a glass defect – and most glass-only shops never flag it.
- Sliding and bypass doors jumping the track. Los Gatos water runs hard, and hard-water mineral scale builds fast on bottom tracks and rollers. Panels start to grab, lift, or jam. We strip the track, replace rollers when they’re worn beyond smooth operation, and reset the panels so the door glides like it should.
- Silicone and sweep seals failing. Seasonal clay movement opens tiny gaps at the curb where the seal meets the tile. Water escapes onto the floor and subfloor, and the damage compounds quietly. A re-seal done right – after checking the curb for movement – stops the leak instead of just hiding it for a season.
- Custom glass and mirror replacements. In hillside homes with pier-and-grade foundations, measurements drift. We field-measure every panel, which means a custom-cut Mr-Glass piece fits the actual wall you have, not the wall the original builder planned on.
Mr-Glass Service in Los Gatos: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what most Mr-Glass pages won’t tell you about Mr-Glass repair in Cambrian Park and Los Gatos. On the 95033 side along and above Highway 17, in neighborhoods like Redwood Estates, the underlying geology is shrink-swell clay on steep grades. After a wet winter – the kind our atmospheric-river storms deliver – those soils expand, then contract hard through the dry summer. Pier-and-grade foundations move. Walls that were plumb at install drift. A Mr-Glass frameless enclosure that was square in November can be racked and binding by April. That’s not a manufacturing flaw; the glass was never the problem. The fix is re-shimming and re-plumbing the hinges to the wall’s new position, replacing the sweep, and re-sealing the curb where the gap opened. Then, if the settlement is advancing, we tell you clearly that a foundation contractor should take a look before you invest more in glass and tile. Build it right the first time – the second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy. Up on the hill, right takes longer, and we’d rather tell you the truth than sell you a job that won’t hold.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Los Gatos
We handle the full Mr-Glass lineup that shows up in Los Gatos homes: frameless hinged shower enclosures in 3/8″ and 1/2″ tempered glass, sliding and bypass tub-and-shower door units, neo-angle and corner shower enclosures, and custom-cut panels and mirrors measured to field dimensions. Our parts approach is straightforward – we match OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, pivots, and sweeps where the original hardware is still serviceable, and we use quality aftermarket stainless hardware when OEM parts are discontinued or a better-rated fitting will solve a chronic corrosion problem. We keep common replacement hardware stocked so most Los Gatos service calls don’t wait on a parts shipment.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Los Gatos
Almost never. Tempered glass doesn’t warp in a residential bathroom. What moves is the wall behind it – Los Gatos clay soil swells through wet winters and settles through dry summers, pushing the frame out of plumb. We re-shim and re-plumb the hinges, and the door swings clean again. Call (844) 681-3590 and we’ll confirm it with a level on your actual wall.
Yes. We work on projects across the Los Gatos service area that go through the town’s design review process and that sit in WUI zones where Chapter 7A fire-resistant detailing applies. When a remodel touches exterior walls, windows, or roofing as well as the shower, the whole scope gets handled under one plan and one point of contact. The shower enclosure itself rarely triggers WUI review, but in a hillside remodel we coordinate the full permit set.
We use OEM Mr-Glass parts where the original hardware is still serviceable and the failure is normal wear. When OEM parts are discontinued, or when a specific stainless aftermarket fitting will outlast a part that keeps corroding in a poorly ventilated Los Gatos bath, we recommend the better part and explain why before we install it.
A walk-in shower installation typically runs $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion lands between $3,500 and $10,000. The spread depends on wall condition, glass thickness, hardware grade, and whether the curb and waterproofing need rework. Your estimate is free and line-itemed – call (844) 681-3590 for exact numbers on your bathroom.
Los Gatos water carries high mineral content, and it leaves scale on glass and tracks fast. The bottom rollers clog, panels start to jump, and the track pits. We deep-clean the track, replace worn rollers, and can recommend a water treatment approach that slows the buildup before it damages the next set.
