Mr-Glass Construction in Felton, CA | Workshop Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Felton, from replacing fogged sliding glass doors on redwood-sided ranch homes to re-glazing failing storefront thresholds on Highway 9 storefronts. The one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work here different is that we understand how redwood duff, fog, and pier-and-post settlement shorten the life of glazing seals and hardware in ways a stock Mr-Glass installer never sees until water is already inside the wall. We’re Noel Figueroa’s Workshop Contractors team, and we’ve been fixing Mr-Glass assemblies in the San Lorenzo Valley long enough to know which failures are frame-deep and which are just a gasket away from another decade of service. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass repair or replacement in Felton.
Why Felton Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most Felton homeowners don’t realize their Mr-Glass patio slider or storefront entry is failing until a winter storm pushes water across the sill. By then, the threshold has been holding redwood duff and tannin-rich runoff against the aluminum frame for months, and the seal is gone. We see this constantly because Felton’s moisture profile is different from Scotts Valley or Ben Lomond. Constant fog works its way behind perimeter glazing gaskets, redwood needles pile against door tracks, and older cabins on pier-and-post foundations settle enough to rack door frames out of square. Noel Figueroa grew up watching tradesmen frame houses in Ontario, and he brings that same eye for what’s actually holding a structure together to every Mr-Glass door and window we service. We match OEM Mr-Glass gaskets, closers, and thresholds where the profile is still supported, and we use dimensionally matched aftermarket seals when the original parts are discontinued. Build it right the first time. The second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy about it.
We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer-authorized shop, and that matters. It means we recommend what’s right for the assembly, not what the brand catalog says you should buy. For broader Mr-Glass sales & service across the Bay Area and San Lorenzo Valley, we apply the same field-documented approach: fix what the moisture and settlement actually broke, and tell you straight when replacement is the smarter money.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Felton
- Fogged glass and failed seals on Mr-Glass sliding patio doors. Redwood-tannin moisture wicks behind the perimeter glazing gaskets on older Mr-Glass patio assemblies, especially on homes where leaf litter and duff sit against the bottom rail all winter. The glass hazes from the inside, and the sill shows water staining. We re-glaze, replace the gaskets, and re-flash the opening if needed.
- Corroded storefront thresholds and pitted aluminum frames. Where winter runoff and redwood duff collect at the base of commercial Mr-Glass storefront entries, the aluminum threshold corrodes and pits. Water then tracks under the frame and into the subfloor. We remove the failed threshold, treat the corrosion, and reset the assembly with proper drainage.
- Sagging or loosened closers on Mr-Glass entry doors. Older Felton homes and cabins settle on pier-and-post foundations, which racks door frames and causes Mr-Glass closers and pivot hardware to loosen. A door that drifts or slams shut is usually a settlement issue, not just a worn closer. We re-align the frame, re-mount the hardware, and replace the closer with an OEM or dimensional match.
- Leaking Mr-Glass windows in non-permitted additions. Felton has a lot of non-permitted additions where Mr-Glass windows or doors were installed without proper flashing. The leak shows up months later at the header. We open the wall, re-flash the opening correctly, and replace the window if the frame is too far gone.
- WUI fire-safety upgrades for Mr-Glass glazing. Felton’s Cal Fire defensible-space and WUI code requirements push many homeowners toward fire-rated or impact glazing. We replace older Mr-Glass single-pane entry units with tempered, fire-rated, or impact-rated alternatives that satisfy Santa Cruz County inspection requirements.
Mr-Glass Service in Felton: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s something specific to Felton that you won’t hear from a generic Mr-Glass repair shop: a redwood over 24 inches in diameter near a build site can require a Santa Cruz County tree-removal permit, plus a geologist’s report and an erosion-control plan. That’s not a Scotts Valley problem, not a Mr-Glass service in Ben Lomond problem. It’s a Felton reality. What it means for Mr-Glass owners is that we sequence glass-door and window work around those approvals. If a rear-wall home addition off Hacienda Way needs a larger Mr-Glass sliding door opening, and there’s a mature redwood within striking distance of the footing, we don’t assume we can cut and pull. We pull the county permit checklist first, schedule the geologist, and then order the Mr-Glass framing once the erosion-control plan is stamped. On a redwood-sided 1960s ranch off Hacienda Way, we opened up a rear wall for a home addition and found the existing Mr-Glass sliding glass door had failed gaskets and a corroded threshold where redwood duff had piled against the frame. We re-flashed the opening, replaced the failing assembly with properly drained Mr-Glass framing, and tied the new siding into the roofline so winter runoff no longer tracks under the sill. That’s the difference between someone who’s done this in Felton and someone who just installed Mr-Glass somewhere dry.

Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Felton
We service the full range of Mr-Glass commercial and residential assemblies that show up in Felton. That includes Mr-Glass commercial storefront aluminum entrance systems, the Series 300/400-style framing you see on Highway 9 businesses, plus Mr-Glass tempered glass entry and sidelite door units. We also work on Mr-Glass sliding glass and patio door assemblies, which are common on the back of older Felton ranch homes and redwood cabins, and Mr-Glass interior glass partition and office front framing for the mixed-use and commercial spaces along the corridor.
Our parts approach is simple: we match OEM Mr-Glass gaskets, closers, pivots, and thresholds wherever the profile is still supported. When OEM is discontinued, we use dimensionally matched aftermarket glazing seals and hardware. For Felton homeowners, we keep the most common Mr-Glass gasket profiles and threshold components stocked locally so we’re not waiting a week on a parts order while a fogged slider lets moisture into the wall.
We also handle the broader construction side: window replacement, impact window installation, and home additions. A failing Mr-Glass exterior wall assembly often isn’t just a glass problem, it’s a flashing problem, and sometimes it’s a framing problem. We fix it as a general contractor, not as a glass shop.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Felton
Mr-Glass work in Felton ranges widely depending on whether we’re re-glazing a single doorway or replacing an entire glazed wall as part of a home addition. Impact window installation runs $8,000 to $25,000, which makes sense for WUI properties where fire-rated or impact glazing is a code requirement. Standard window replacement typically lands between $4,500 and $15,000. A full home addition, including Mr-Glass door and wall framing, starts around $45,000 and can reach $130,000 depending on scope.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Home Addition | $45,000 – $130,000 |
What drives the cost is whether the Mr-Glass frame can be salvaged, whether the opening needs re-flashing, and whether a Felton tree-removal or erosion-control permit is in play. Our free estimates give you a written line-item quote so you know the difference between glass-only repair and full frame replacement before you spend a dollar.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Felton
Yes, in most cases. Replacing or re-glazing an existing Mr-Glass sliding door within the same opening typically doesn’t require a tree-removal permit, because you’re not expanding the footprint or touching grade. The 24-inch redwood permit trigger comes into play when we’re cutting a new opening or altering the structure around a tree. If your fogged slider is within an existing wall, we can usually replace the glazing and re-flash the opening without county tree involvement. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you after looking at the site.
Redwood duff and fog-driven moisture collect against the aluminum threshold and sit there for months, especially through winter. The tannins in redwood needles are acidic and accelerate pitting and corrosion on uncoated aluminum. If the threshold isn’t drained and the frame isn’t set on a slope that sheds water, the corrosion cycles every year. We treat the corrosion, install a properly drained threshold, and seal the frame so runoff tracks away instead of under the door. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free evaluation.
Absolutely. Pier-and-post foundations settle independently, which means a door frame that was square in 1960 might be racked by two or three degrees now. That racks the Mr-Glass door frame, stresses the glazing seals, and causes closers and pivots to loosen. We see fogged glass and sagging doors on pier-and-post Felton cabins that would still be fine if the foundation hadn’t moved. We re-align the frame, re-mount the hardware, and re-glaze where the seals failed. Call (844) 384-3361 to have us look at the door and the foundation together.
For Felton homes in the wildland-urban interface, fire-rated tempered glass or impact-rated insulating glass units are the usual answer for Mr-Glass entry and patio assemblies. The Cal Fire defensible-space requirements push toward glazing that won’t shatter from radiant heat, and the county inspection process often flags single-pane Mr-Glass doors during a sale or remodel. We match the glazing to the existing Mr-Glass framing where possible, and replace the frame with a fire-rated compatible system when the old profile can’t carry the load. Call (844) 384-3361 for specifics on your property.
Yes. We’ve done this for many Felton homeowners preparing for a sale. The typical fix is to pull the interior trim, re-flash the Mr-Glass window opening correctly, and replace the window if the frame is water-damaged. If the addition itself was never permitted, we can help you understand what Santa Cruz County will ask for during a resale inspection and what it takes to bring the opening up to current code. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on the window and a straight answer on the permit question.
