Mr-Glass Construction in Felton, CA | San Mateo Construction
We provide independent Mr-Glass sales, installation, and repair across Felton and the San Lorenzo Valley, including Mr-Glass service in Ben Lomond. What makes our Mr-Glass work different here is that we plan every shower enclosure and bathroom project around the two things Felton throws at a house: redwood-shade moisture and pier-and-post floor movement. Call (855) 901-7266 for a free estimate, and you’ll talk to a crew that has actually hung Mr-Glass glass in Felton cabins, not just read the spec sheet.
San Mateo Construction is an independent Mr-Glass service provider offering Mr-Glass service in Lompico. We are not manufacturer-affiliated, authorized, or warranted by Mr-Glass. We specify and install their products because we’ve learned the line by working it in damp, shaded bathrooms and on framing that moves with the seasons.
Why Felton Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass builds a solid enclosure. The failure we see most often in Felton is not the glass, it’s the substrate behind it: tile backer that was never waterproofed properly, hinges pulling loose from damp framing, pivot hardware corroding because the bathroom never dries out under the redwoods. If you just swap the hardware, the same problem comes back in two seasons. We fix what actually failed.
Noel Carrington, our owner, grew up helping his father pour concrete footings in San Mateo, studied construction technology at Skyline College, and has spent three decades running residential jobs across the Bay Area and into the San Lorenzo Valley. His approach on every Mr-Glass enclosure is the same as it is on a full remodel: find out why the last installation failed before touching the new one. We stock OEM Mr-Glass hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals for fast Felton turnaround, and we carry quality aftermarket hardware for discontinued profiles. For a deeper look at our Mr-Glass work, see Mr-Glass sales & service.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Felton
- Frameless pivot hardware loosening and corroding early. Felton bathrooms sit in shade most of the year. Without sunlight hitting the glass edges and with weak exhaust fans common in older cabins, moisture hangs around the hinges. OEM pivots sieze or sag. We re-set or replace the hardware and address the ventilation so the next set lasts longer.
- Silicone and sweep seals failing within a few seasons. Redwood-shade humidity keeps shower glass wet longer than it would on the coastal plain. Water tracks onto the tile, and the curb starts rotting under the seal. We strip the old silicone, inspect the curb for rot, and re-seal with a wet-area-rated product that actually holds in a damp Felton bathroom.
- Tempered glass panels shifting out of plumb. Older pier-and-post floors in Felton move with seasonal moisture. When framing settles even half an inch, doors bind and hinges overstress. We re-hang the panel to the settled floor, or shim the curb where that’s the more honest fix.
- Header and wall-anchor fasteners pulling loose. We see this a lot in older cabin remodels where someone tiled over drywall or un-waterproofed backer. The glass is fine. The substrate is not. We repair the backer, re-waterproof it properly, and re-anchor the enclosure.
- Out-of-square replacement enclosures on slope-side homes. Some Felton lots pitch hard, and the framing was built to follow the hill. A stock Mr-Glass enclosure won’t fit without taking careful measurements and adjusting the reveal. We measure every opening twice before ordering glass.
Mr-Glass Service in Felton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Felton sits under Chapter 7A of the California Building Code, the wildland-urban-interface rules that govern construction in fire-prone areas. That shapes when we can build, and it shapes what work keeps a project moving. During Cal Fire red-flag restrictions, outdoor cutting and grading shuts down. No roof work, no stucco grinding, no excavating for a slab. But inside a redwood-shaded cabin, we can keep going. Bathroom and shower glass installation becomes the work that carries the schedule through fire season. If you’re planning a full Home Remodeling – Felton project, we sequence the Mr-Glass enclosure so it lands during the weeks when the exterior crew is grounded. That’s not something a contractor in Scotts Valley or Santa Cruz proper thinks about the same way, because their projects don’t live under the same fire-season stopwatch.
On a slope-side cottage off Hihn Street in Felton, our crew replaced a binding Mr-Glass semi-frameless shower door after finding the pier-and-post floor had settled and thrown the enclosure out of plumb. We re-set the OEM pivots, shimmed the curb, re-waterproofed the backer where the old seal had been weeping, and hung a fresh frameless panel so the door swings clean in a room that never dries out under the redwoods. That’s the Felton version of a shower door job: the glass is the easy part.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Felton
We spec and install the Mr-Glass Nautilus frameless shower enclosure series, the Luxury Series semi-frameless shower doors, custom shower enclosures with 3/8-inch tempered glass, and sliding glass shower door systems. Across those lines, our parts approach is consistent: Mr-Glass OEM hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals whenever a match is still available, and quality aftermarket hardware only when a discontinued profile can’t be sourced. We keep common Felton-stock hardware on hand so a re-hang or hinge swap doesn’t wait on a freight shipment. If the glass and frame are sound, we repair and re-hang. We push replacement only when the enclosure is out of square or the tempering is compromised.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Felton
We repair when the glass and frame are sound. That means replacing OEM hinges, pivots, sweeps, or seals and re-hanging the panel. We recommend replacement when the enclosure is out of square, the tempering is compromised, or the substrate behind the tile has failed to the point that a repair would just buy you a year. In Felton, we lean toward repair more often than not, because the common failures here are hardware corrosion and floor settlement, not broken glass. Call (855) 901-7266 and we’ll tell you which side of that line your enclosure sits on.
No. San Mateo Construction is an independent contractor that specifies and installs Mr-Glass products on our own judgment. We’re not affiliated with, authorized by, or warranted by Mr-Glass. We choose their enclosures because we’ve seen how they hold up in San Lorenzo Valley conditions when installed correctly.
OEM first. We stock Mr-Glass OEM hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals for the models we service in Felton. When a profile is discontinued and the OEM part is no longer available, we move to a quality aftermarket equivalent and tell you before we install it.
A straightforward hinge or seal repair is usually a same-day job. A full enclosure replacement takes one day for the install, plus whatever prep the substrate needs. If the curb or backer is rotted, which happens often in damp Felton cabins, add a day or two for waterproofing and cure time. We’ll give you a realistic timeline at the estimate.
We service the Nautilus frameless series, the Luxury Series semi-frameless doors, custom 3/8-inch tempered glass enclosures, and sliding glass shower door systems. If you have an older Mr-Glass profile, call us with the model number and we’ll check parts availability before you commit to anything.
A shower replacement in Felton typically runs $3,000 to $8,500. Walk-in shower installation is $4,500 to $12,000, and a tub-to-shower conversion runs $3,500 to $10,000. Felton’s pier-and-post homes sometimes add prep work: leveling a curb, fixing rotted backer, or re-waterproofing before the glass goes in. Call (855) 901-7266 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
