Mr-Glass Construction in Tiburon, CA | Workshop Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Tiburon, specializing in frameless shower enclosures, walk-in shower installations, and vanity glass for hillside homes. What makes our Mr-Glass work here different is sequencing: we template glass against finished, finaled openings rather than framed ones whose walls may still move. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why Tiburon Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve spent years as Mr-Glass specialists installing and templating shower enclosures, mirrors, and glass openings inside Tiburon hillside remodels, so we know how these systems behave when walls have moved. We’re an independent contractor, not authorized, sponsored, or backed by Mr-Glass, and we say so plainly because our credibility comes from the work, not a badge.
Noel Figueroa, our owner and general contractor, grew up in the Vineyard neighborhood of Ontario where half the houses on his street were built by the same generation of tradesmen who eventually handed him his first framing hammer. He learned the fundamentals at Chaffey College, where the construction technology program put him on job sites before he was old enough to rent a truck. Around Tiburon, he’s known as a General Contractor in Tiburon for the kind of finish work that holds up under a second look, framing that’s square, tile that lines up at the grout joint, and trim that actually meets the corner.
We spec OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, sweeps, and seals where the enclosure is still a current profile, and quality aftermarket stainless hardware where the original line is discontinued. We keep tempered glass, not the frame, as the part we replace last.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Tiburon
- Out-of-square rough openings: On Tiburon hillside ranchers and split-levels, walls and curbs have drifted since the 1960s through 80s, so stock Mr-Glass panels bind at the hinge side and the sweep no longer meets the curb. We re-set blocking and square the opening to a real plumb line before templating.
- Seal and sweep degradation from bay fog: Tiburon sits on a peninsula with bay-influenced fog and strong winter rain. More days per year at high humidity than inland Marin means silicone at the curb and the bottom sweep break down faster, and water tracks under the door rail. We replace with marine-grade stainless hardware and curb seals rated for coastal exposure.
- Hinge and anchor loosening on tile-set curbs: Original curbs over unengineered slabs let the tile move, and Mr-Glass hinge anchors pull out or crack the field tile around them. We remove the failed anchors, reinforce the substrate, and re-set hinges into solid blocking.
- Delaminated mirror silvering on vanity walls: In Tiburon baths that stay cool and damp, Mr-Glass mirror edges desilver from the bottom up, usually where a shower is within a few feet of the vanity wall. We replace mirrored vanity glass and address the moisture source so the new silvering does not fail the same way.
- Binding frameless sliders after structural work: When drainage and seismic upgrades disturb framing, the wall moves out of plumb at the hinge plane. We square the opening, re-set blocking, and re-hang the Mr-Glass enclosure so the door closes to a consistent gap.
Mr-Glass Service in Tiburon: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Tiburon’s design review and hillside ordinances often require retaining walls and drainage plans to be approved before a foundation pour, and the 2017 through 2019 landslide and debris-flow concerns along the Ring Mountain and Old St. Hilary’s slopes tightened how contractors brace and drain below-grade work. That means interior glass work in these homes frequently follows, not precedes, structural and drainage sign-off. We template Mr-Glass enclosures against a finished, finaled opening rather than a framed one whose walls may still be corrected. It’s a sequencing discipline that a generic installer offering Marin City Mr-Glass service does not carry into Tiburon, where the geotechnical review is the first gatekeeper and the glass is one of the last things to go in.
On a hillside split-level off the slopes below Old St. Hilary’s, our crew was called for Mr-Glass in Chinatown and nearby areas, including a failing frameless slider in a hall bath whose framing had been disturbed during a drainage and seismic upgrade. The wall was out of plumb at the hinge plane, so we re-set blocking, squared the opening to a real plumb line, and installed a templated frameless enclosure with marine-grade stainless hardware and a new curb seal. The door now closes to a consistent gap and the sweep is clear of the tile.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Tiburon
We service Mr-Glass frameless sliding shower door systems, semi-frameless pivot shower enclosures, fixed glass panels and return panels, and mirrored closet and vanity glass. For current profiles, we spec OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, sweeps, and seals. Where the original line is discontinued, we source quality aftermarket stainless hardware that matches the mounting footprint. Tempered glass is the part we replace last. If the opening is sound and only the hardware and seals have failed, a hardware-and-sweep rebuild is honest and cheaper than a whole new enclosure. If the glass is chipped at a hinge cutout or the opening is wildly out of square, we tell you to replace.
