Mr-Glass Construction in Mission District, CA | Workshop Contractors
We install, repair, and replace Mr-Glass shower enclosures, glass panels, and window openings throughout Mission District, and also offer Home Remodeling in Mission District. The thing that separates our Mr-Glass work here from everywhere else is simple: nearly every opening in this neighborhood is out of square, and we plan for that before the first measurement. Workshop Contractors is an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why Mission District Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most glass crews measure an opening and order a panel. In the Mission District, that approach fails more often than it succeeds. The Victorians and Edwardians here, built between 1880 and 1906, have settled and racked for over a century. Soft-story ground floors shift under them. A 5-foot bath alcove that looks square from across the room can be three-quarters of an inch out of plumb at the hinged edge. We know this because we have templated Mr-Glass enclosures inside dozens of these flats, from the flatiron blocks off 24th Street to the walk-ups near Dolores Park. Noel Figueroa, our owner, grew up around tradesmen who taught him to check the framing before trusting the finish. That habit carries into every Mr-Glass job we take in 94110.
We carry genuine Mr-Glass rollers, seals, and hinge hardware, and we stock quality aftermarket components for the cases where an exact fit matters more than the badge. Mr-Glass sales & service is work we have done for years across this city, and Mission District homeowners call us because we tell them straight when a shower door is worth repairing and when the wall behind it has moved too far to bother.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Mission District
- Track-jumping bypass sliders in soft-story flats. The original builder-grade Mr-Glass bypass rollers in Mission District Victorian flats bind and jump the lower track when the alcove has racked from foundation movement. We re-align, re-block, and replace rollers and seals so the door rides clean instead of fighting the frame.
- Corroded aluminum frames from persistent Mission damp. The Mission sits partly over filled bayland and the buried Mission Creek culvert. Moisture wicks under bath floors, corroding Mr-Glass frame channels and pivot hinges. We see it on ground-floor units especially, and we replace hardware with corrosion-resistant alternatives before resealing.
- Hinged enclosures with gap creep on out-of-plumb stud walls. A semi-frameless Mr-Glass hinged enclosure installed to a stud wall that leans even slightly will develop reveal gaps at the hinged edge and stress the tempered panel. We shim, re-block, and re-hang before the glass goes in.
- Stock Mr-Glass kits that no longer match the rough opening. After tile and framing correction on a remodel, a stock Mr-Glass kit ordered against the original opening arrives short or over-wide. We re-templated enough of these in Mission District to know when custom-cut glass is the only honest option.
- Lifted silicone seals at the curb. The damp soils under this neighborhood hold moisture that cycles through bathroom floors. A Mr-Glass enclosure seal that lifted at the curb needs a backer, new caulk, and often a drainage check, not just a cosmetic re-bead.
Mr-Glass Service in Mission District: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Much of the Mission District sits inside a San Francisco Historic Resource survey, which means anything pre-1945 on your lot can trigger preservation review at SF DBI before a bathroom or window opening gets approved. A chunk of the neighborhood also sits directly over the buried Mission Creek culvert, so foundation surprises are a regular part of the job, not an exception. For Mr-Glass owners, this has a practical consequence: a tub-to-shower conversion or enclosure replacement that would be a simple counter-signature in another neighborhood can pull in a preservation reviewer and a foundation engineer here. We coordinate that. Our crew has pulled permits for Mr-Glass work on pre-1906 flats from Valencia Street to Shotwell, and we know what SF DBI wants to see before the glass ever gets ordered. On a soft-story triple-decker off Valencia near 24th, an owner’s tub-to-shower conversion ran into a 1906-era bath alcove that had racked roughly three-quarters of an inch out of square after the ground-floor retrofit. We shimmed and re-blocked the hinged wall, re-templated the opening after tile, and set a custom Mr-Glass frameless panel with marine-grade hinges and new sweeps, then re-caulked the curb with a backer and re-checked plumb. The door closes true and clears the tile with even reveals.
Build it right the first time. The second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy about it.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Mission District
We service the Mr-Glass Frameless Sliding Shower Door bypass roller series, the Semi-Frameless Hinged Shower Enclosure, Neo-Angle Corner Shower Enclosure kits, and custom-cut tempered fixed glass panels templated to the opening. On repair calls, we default to genuine Mr-Glass hardware and rollers when they are available. When an old Mission District opening has moved enough that stock parts will not sit right, we turn to quality aftermarket rollers, seals, and hinges, and we tell you which path we recommend and why. Mission District service area work means keeping common Mr-Glass roller sizes and seal profiles on hand so we can turn most repair visits around in a single trip.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Mission District
Mr-Glass enclosure work in Mission District varies by how much correction the opening needs, so we often act as a General Contractor in Mission District to manage the full scope. A straightforward shower replacement in a plumb post-1950 building costs less than a tub-to-shower conversion in a racked 1906 alcove that requires re-blocking and custom templating. Here are the ranges we quote for the Mr-Glass-adjacent work we do most often in 94110:
| Service | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4500 – $12000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3500 – $10000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3000 – $8500 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9000 – $28000 |
| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5000 – $12000 |
The estimate we give you includes the measurement, the hardware path (genuine Mr-Glass or aftermarket), and any framing correction we can see before we open the wall. Call (844) 384-3361 to schedule a free estimate.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Mission District
If your building is pre-1945 and inside the Mission District’s Historic Resource survey area, SF DBI will likely require preservation review before approving a bathroom reconfiguration or glass-opening change. A like-for-like Mr-Glass enclosure replacement inside the existing footprint usually moves faster than a full remodel, but any change that alters the wet-wall layout or window opening can trigger review. We handle that paperwork as part of the job, and the time it adds is almost always bureaucratic, not structural. Call (844) 384-3361 and we will tell you what your address will face before you commit.
Because the wall behind it has moved. Most Mission District Victorians and Edwardians have settled enough that the bath alcove is no longer square, which twists the Mr-Glass bypass track and lets the rollers climb out. Replacing the rollers without fixing the alignment will have the door jumping again in a few months. We re-block the frames, re-shim the track, and set new rollers and seals so the door stays put. Call (844) 384-3361 to have us look at the alcove.
No, but it needs to be installed with the soil in mind. The filled bayland and buried culvert under parts of the Mission District hold moisture that cycles through ground-floor slabs and bath floors. That movement can open hinge gaps and lift seals over time. We use marine-grade hinges, backer-rod caulk joints, and re-plumb checks so a frameless Mr-Glass enclosure performs on these lots. The key is templating after tile, not before.
Almost always, but it may require custom-templated Mr-Glass panels rather than a stock kit. The pre-1906 flats in Mission District were built with tight, oddly-arranged bathrooms that do not match modern rough-opening standards. We measure after the tile is set, correct the framing with shims and re-blocking where needed, and order glass cut to the actual opening. For exact pricing on a tub-to-shower conversion in your building, call (844) 384-3361.
The Mission is sheltered from the heaviest Pacific fog by the hills, but the damp still holds in the filled bayland soils under the neighborhood. That persistent moisture corrodes aluminum Mr-Glass frames and pivot hinges faster than in drier parts of the city, especially on ground-floor units. We address it with corrosion-resistant hardware, proper venting, and seal details that tolerate the humidity cycle. Estimates are free; call (844) 384-3361 to get yours.
