Mr-Glass Construction in Seven Trees, CA | Workshop Contractors
We’re Workshop Contractors, an independent General Contractor in Seven Trees providing Mr-Glass shower enclosures, mirrors, and custom glass work to homeowners across Seven Trees, CA. The one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work different here is the framing: Seven Trees is mostly 1940s – 1960s ranch stock, and those old walls are rarely square. We measure and install to the wall that’s actually there, not the one the factory assumed. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass shower, mirror, or glass project in Seven Trees.
Why Seven Trees Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve spent years installing and repairing Mr-Glass shower enclosures, mirrors, and glass across Santa Clara Valley ranch homes, and the work here has a specific rhythm. Seven Trees houses were built fast in the postwar years, for cannery and orchard workers who needed practical shelter, not perfectly plumb walls. That means every Mr-Glass enclosure we hang has to be templated to the actual opening, with the out-of-square corners accounted for before the glass ever gets cut.
Noel Figueroa, our owner and general contractor, grew up around the kind of tradesmen who framed houses like the ones in Seven Trees. He learned early that a half-inch out of plumb doesn’t show up on a spec sheet, but it shows up on a shower door that binds against the curb. That’s the experience we bring to every Mr-Glass job here. We’re independent, not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, so our loyalty is to the homeowner and the final fit, not a factory sales quota. For more about how we approach the full Mr-Glass line, see our Mr-Glass sales & service page.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Seven Trees
- Out-of-square shower openings that make factory pivots bind. Original 1940s-1960s ranch bathrooms in Seven Trees drift over decades. A frameless Mr-Glass door that should swing clean starts dragging on the curb or won’t latch. We shim, re-square, and template before cutting glass, so the door hangs true.
- Corroded aluminum channels on semi-frameless rails. Santa Clara Valley’s damp winters push moisture into the bottom channels of older Mr-Glass semi-frameless doors. The rail loses its seal at the curb, and water wicks into the studs behind the tile. We replace the channel, re-seal, and check what’s behind the tile before it becomes a bigger tear-out.
- Fogged, degraded glass from valley heat cycles. Seven Trees summers run hot and dry, then winter brings rain. Old single-pane shower glass and mirrors take a beating from that swing. We swap clouded Mr-Glass panels for new tempered glass matched to the frame series.
- Chips and stress cracks from unpermitted additions. Many Seven Trees homes have rooms added without permits, which means ceiling heights and wall planes shift mid-run. Frameless Mr-Glass panels measured to the wrong plane get chipped corners or hairline cracks after install. We measure the full height, not just the obvious opening.
- Leaking tub-to-shower conversions that were never sealed right. A past conversion with a poor curb seal leaks into the fascia and subfloor. We re-glaze, reset the Mr-Glass enclosure, and make sure water stays inside the shower.
Mr-Glass Service in Seven Trees: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the fact most Seven Trees homeowners don’t know until the permit stage: Seven Trees is unincorporated Santa Clara County, so any glass shower or window project here runs through county building permits and inspections, not the City of San Jose’s. That distinction trips up people who assume the Mr-Glass service in San Jose counter applies, and it stalls remodels by weeks. We pull the county permit on Mr-Glass shower enclosures and window glass replacements, and we know which inspector covers the 95111 ZIP and what they’ll flag on a 1950s bath. On a stucco ranch off Seven Trees Boulevard, we tore out a 1960s tub and set a walk-in shower with a frameless Mr-Glass 3/8″ enclosure while re-tiling the surround. The original wall was out of plumb by nearly half an inch, so we shimmed and re-squared the opening before templating the glass. County permit, not San Jose, and the owner got an enclosure that seals at the curb instead of leaking like the old aluminum rail had for a decade.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Seven Trees
We install and service the Mr-Glass lines common to Seven Trees ranch baths: frameless glass shower enclosures in 3/8″ and 1/2″ tempered glass, standard pivot and double-slider configurations, semi-frameless sliding doors with aluminum or bronze-tone rails, custom wall and vanity mirrors cut to the odd openings you find after a 1950s remodel, and glass shelving with mirrored medicine cabinets for hall-bath retrofits. We also handle Mr-Glass repair in Cambrian Park for similar vintage homes. On parts, we specify OEM hinges, pivots, and channels wherever Mr-Glass still supports the frame series, and we turn to certified aftermarket tempered glass and hardware only when an original profile is discontinued. We stock common pivot and channel hardware locally so Seven Trees jobs don’t wait on backorder.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Seven Trees
No. Seven Trees is unincorporated Santa Clara County, so your permit comes from the county, not the City of San Jose. We pull the county permit on Mr-Glass enclosure work and schedule the county inspection, which saves weeks of confusion for homeowners who assumed the San Jose counter applied. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate and we’ll confirm exactly what your project needs.
In most cases, yes. We shim and re-square the rough opening before templating, which lets the glass fit the actual wall plane rather than forcing a factory panel onto a drifted frame. If the wall is too far gone, we’ll show you exactly where before cutting anything.
If the rail is corroding at the curb and moisture is getting behind the tile, a patch job costs more in callbacks than a clean re-glass. On a 60-year-old Seven Trees bath, replacing the Mr-Glass enclosure and resetting the curb is usually the honest fix. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you which side of that line your shower is on.
Seven Trees sits in the Santa Clara Valley near Buena Vista Mr-Glass service areas, where hot, dry summers alternate with damp winters. That temperature swing condenses moisture on older single-pane glass and mirror coatings, and after a decade or two the edges fog permanently. We replace clouded Mr-Glass panels with new tempered glass matched to the frame.
Usually, yes, but it takes extra measurement and patience. Unpermitted additions in Seven Trees rarely have consistent ceiling heights or wall planes, which is exactly where frameless Mr-Glass panels get chipped or stress-cracked if measured wrong. We template to the tallest plane and shim the curb so the glass lands clean. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free on-site measurement.
