Mr-Glass Construction in San Martin, CA | Workshop Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass glass enclosure installation, repair, and remodel service across San Martin, CA. The thing that makes our Mr-Glass work here different comes down to dirt and water: most San Martin properties run on private wells with mineral-heavy water, and many older ranch homes have shower openings that are out of plumb. If your Mr-Glass door binds, drags, hazes, or leaks, call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you honestly whether it’s a hardware fix or a panel replacement.
Why San Martin Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass enclosures are a specific skill set. Measuring to the actual opening, sourcing the correct glass thickness and hardware, and getting a clean, leak-free seal is not the same as hanging a curtain rod. Our crew has installed and serviced Mr-Glass semi-frameless pivots, frameless fixed panels, and sliding doors across the South Santa Clara Valley for years. We’re an independent service provider, not an authorized Mr-Glass dealer, so our recommendation is based on what the enclosure actually needs, not what a manufacturer program tells us to sell. Noel Figueroa, our owner, grew up learning that framing is either square or it isn’t, and he’s carried that same standard into every glass panel and hinge we set in San Martin. When we shim a panel or source a genuine roller, it’s because someone on our crew has done it enough times to know the difference between a door that tracks right and one that’s going to chip glass six months from now.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in San Martin
- Jumped-track and dragging semi-frameless sliders: The roller and pivot hardware on Mr-Glass sliders wears from constant shower moisture, and on San Martin well systems the mineral content accelerates corrosion on the bottom guide. You’ll see the door start to drag, then jump the track entirely. We replace rollers, pivots, and guides with genuine Mr-Glass hardware before the glass chips at the hinge edge.
- Water migrating past failed silicone and sweep seals: When the sweep goes, water runs onto the curb and into subfloor framing. In San Martin ranch houses built in the 1950s and 60s, that water shows up as soft drywall on the adjacent wall long before you see it in the shower. We re-seal, reset the panel, and check the curb for damage while we’re in there.
- Hard-water etching and haze on 3/8″ glass: This is worse in San Martin than in cities on treated municipal water. Mineral spotting etches the glass surface and leaves a haze that no squeegee routine will remove. We can often restore glass with the right compound, and we’ll tell you when it’s past saving.
- Binding and chipped glass from out-of-plumb openings: Older ranch homes in San Martin settle. A panel set without shimming in a rough opening that’s out of square will bind at the hinge, chip at the edge, or crack at the pivot cutout. We check the opening before we order glass, and we shim to plumb so the panel hangs clean.
- Tub-to-shower conversions with county permitting twists: San Martin is unincorporated, so changing a tub foot to a shower foot can require Santa Clara County building permits and fire district sign-off. We plan the glass work around that inspection sequence so you’re not left with an enclosure installed before the inspector signs off.
Mr-Glass Service in San Martin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Martin is unincorporated Santa Clara County, which means a bathroom remodel that changes a shower footprint, adds a new drain, or converts a tub to a walk-in shower can require county building permits and fire district sign-off rather than a city hall approval. A contractor from Morgan Hill or Gilroy who’s used to city building departments might not flag that difference until the inspector does. For Mr-Glass owners, this matters because glass enclosure work here has to be planned around a county inspection sequence, not just measured and installed. On a mid-century ranch property off Fitzgerald Avenue, we pulled a Mr-Glass semi-frameless pivot whose door had been dragging for months. The bottom pivot had seized and the sweep was shot, so water had been running onto the curb and staining the drywall on the far side of the wall. We replaced the pivot and hinges with genuine Mr-Glass hardware, reset the panel plumb on shims, re-sealed with fresh silicone, and the door now swings clean with no leak.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in San Martin
We service the full Mr-Glass enclosure lineup in San Martin: semi-frameless pivot shower enclosures, frameless fixed-panel and hinged glass showers in 3/8″ and 1/2″ glass, sliding and barn-door style shower doors, and custom mirror or specialty glass panels. Our approach is repair over replace when the glass and frame are sound. We use genuine Mr-Glass replacement hardware like rollers, pivots, hinges, sweeps, and seals, since that’s what keeps an existing door tracking and sealing correctly. When glass is chipped at a hinge or pivot cutout, or the frame is out of square, we tell owners honestly that replacement glass and enclosure is the better spend than chasing hardware on failing panels. We stock common Mr-Glass hardware locally so San Martin repairs don’t stall waiting on a shipment.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in San Martin
Yes, in most cases a tub-to-shower conversion in unincorporated San Martin requires Santa Clara County building permits and may need fire district sign-off, because the change affects the shower drain footprint and waterproofing. We pull the permits and coordinate the inspections as part of the job, so the glass enclosure is installed after the county signs off on the rough work. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll check what your specific project triggers.
The bottom roller or pivot guide on your Mr-Glass semi-frameless door has likely corroded or seized, and on San Martin well water that corrosion happens faster because of higher mineral content. The fix is usually new genuine Mr-Glass rollers and a reset of the panel, which we do without pulling the whole enclosure. Call (844) 384-3361 for an assessment.
Yes, the mineral content in San Martin well water etches 3/8″ and 1/2″ glass faster than treated municipal water, leaving haze and spotting that gets harder to remove the longer it sits. We recommend a squeegee routine and can treat early etching before it ruins the panel. For an inspection, call (844) 384-3361.
Yes, when the frame is sound and the glass isn’t chipped at a hinge or pivot cutout, we replace genuine Mr-Glass hardware like rollers, hinges, sweeps, and seals and leave the panel in place. If the glass is chipped at a stress point, replacement is the safer call, and we’ll show you why before you spend. Call (844) 384-3361 for an honest read.
Yes, older ranch homes in San Martin settle, and out-of-plumb rough openings are common. We shim to plumb before the panel goes in so the glass hangs clean and doesn’t bind or chip at the hinge edge. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll measure what you’re working with.
