Mr-Glass Construction in San Antonio Heights, CA | San Mateo Construction
San Mateo Construction provides independent Mr-Glass service across San Antonio Heights, CA. Our team repairs, replaces, and installs Mr-Glass shower enclosures, mirrors, and glass panels on the steep foothill lots that define this community. The thing that separates our Mr-Glass work here: we template and install glass after the structure has told us the truth. These mid-century homes settle, and out-of-square openings are the norm, not the exception. Call (855) 901-7266 to schedule a free estimate.
Why San Antonio Heights Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We have spent years installing and servicing our Mr-Glass services—shower enclosures, mirrors, and glass products—across San Antonio Heights, so we know how this glass behaves when a house is built out of level and plumb. We’re an independent contractor – not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by Mr-Glass – and that independence means we specify the glass and hardware that actually fits your opening. If an OEM hinge is the right call, we use it. If the profile is discontinued, we’ll say so and recommend proper aftermarket stainless hardware instead of improvising.
Noel Carrington, the owner of San Mateo Construction, learned framing and finish work hands-on before he ever touched a shower enclosure, and that background shows in how our crews approach glass. You cannot hang a frameless door on an opening that is 3/4 inch out of square and expect it to swing clean. We check the framing first. For San Antonio Heights, CA homeowners, that’s the difference between a door that works for five years and one that starts dragging after two.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in San Antonio Heights
These failure modes are common in San Antonio Heights, and they usually trace back to how the house was built and where it sits.
- Out-of-plumb door closers on hillside homes. The 1950s-1970s split-levels and ranch homes throughout San Antonio Heights settle over time. A frameless Mr-Glass door that swings fine at install starts dragging on the strike jamb within a couple of seasons. We re-template the opening or re-square the curb before hanging new glass.
- Hinge and pivot hardware corrosion. Seasonal winter rains and canyon moisture work on hinges, especially on exterior-adjacent or poorly vented bathrooms. We see pitted finishes and seized pivots on homes near the foothill drainages of 91784. The fix is usually fresh OEM or solid aftermarket stainless.
- Silicone sweep and gasket failure. When slabs and curbs were never square to begin with, the sweep on a frameless Mr-Glass enclosure lets water track onto the framing underneath. On a hillside subfloor, that’s a bigger problem than a puddle. We correct the curb, reset the sweep, and seal the gap properly.
- Thermal stress and mirror seal failure. South- and west-facing walls in San Antonio Heights take direct San Gabriel Mountains sun through unshaded windows. Mr-Glass mirrors mounted on those exterior walls can fail at the adhesive line. We relocate, re-mount with the correct adhesive, or replace the glass when the silvering has degraded.
- Frameless panels that were never re-templated after settling. A home that has been moving for 50 years is not going to have parallel walls. We measure every opening before ordering glass. That habit alone prevents most of the problems listed above.
Mr-Glass Service in San Antonio Heights: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because San Antonio Heights is unincorporated, our shower and glass remodel permits go through San Bernardino County, and any hillside work touching framing or grading can trigger geotechnical review. We template glass only after the county sign-off stage, not before. That sequence is not just paperwork – it’s physics. If a county reviewer requires a curb reset or an opening correction, and we have already cut a tempered panel to the old dimensions, you have paid for a second piece of glass. We will not do that. On a 1960s split-level off a sloping lot near the foothill edge of 91784, our crew re-templated a Upland Mr-Glass service frameless hinged shower enclosure after the original door had been dragging for two years. The curb was 3/4 inch out of level and the walls were not parallel. We reset the curb, squared the opening, installed new OEM pivots and a 1/2-inch tempered panel, and the door has swung clean through two winter rain seasons since.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in San Antonio Heights
We service Rancho Cucamonga Mr-Glass service frameless hinged shower enclosures in 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch tempered glass, semi-frameless sliding bypass shower doors, custom mirrors and mirrored closet doors, and glass railing and panel systems. Our parts approach is straightforward: when an enclosure is still under warranty or the profile is in production, we use OEM Mr-Glass hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals. When OEM parts are discontinued or the original finish has failed, we specify quality aftermarket stainless hardware. We stock common sweeps, gaskets, and pivot hardware for faster turnaround on San Antonio Heights jobs. Less common profiles are ordered to spec, which we handle without holding up the rest of the remodel.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in San Antonio Heights
Glass and shower pricing in San Antonio Heights depends on the opening size, glass thickness, the condition of the existing curb and walls, and whether county review adds steps. Here are the ranges for the services this page covers.

A free estimate from us includes an on-site look at the actual opening, not a ballpark over the phone. If a single pane or sweep is the only issue, we repair it. If a frameless unit is out of square because the opening itself is out of square, we tell you honestly that re-templating is the cheaper long-run fix than chasing hardware. Call (855) 901-7266 to schedule yours.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in San Antonio Heights
It depends on scope. A glass-only replacement with no change to the curb, valve, or drain typically does not need a permit. If you are tearing out a tub, moving a drain, resetting a curb, or touching framing, San Bernardino County requires a permit because San Antonio Heights is unincorporated. When a permit is required, we order and cut glass after the county approves the framing work, never before. Call (855) 901-7266 and we will tell you which category your project falls into.
In San Antonio Heights, it is usually the house. Mid-century hillside homes settle, walls drift out of parallel, and curbs go out of level. We reset the curb or re-square the opening first, then re-install the door with fresh hinges or pivots. Replacing hardware alone on an out-of-square opening just moves the drag to the new hardware.
Yes, and we see it most on exterior-adjacent bathrooms and windows that face the canyons. Dry Santa Ana winds carry fine grit, and winter rains bring moisture, both of which accelerate hinge and pivot wear. Stainless hardware with sealed bearings holds up far better than plated finishes in those conditions.
If the remaining panes and hardware are in good shape and the profile is still in production, yes. A single tempered panel can be cut and installed to match. If the profile is discontinued or the remaining glass shows seal deterioration, we will price both options and let you decide.
Most projects land between $4,500 and $12,000. The big variables are the opening size, whether we are resetting a curb or moving a drain, and the hardware finish you choose. On older split-levels in San Antonio Heights, budgeting a little extra for squaring the opening is realistic. Call (855) 901-7266 for an exact quote – estimates are free.
