Mr-Glass Construction in Upland, CA | Workshop Contractors
We’re an independent construction contractor installing and servicing Mr-Glass shower enclosures, mirrors, and glazed units across Upland. The thing that makes our Mr-Glass work here different is templating: most of this city’s bathrooms are 40 to 70 years old, and the floors have moved. A stock Mr-Glass panel will not hang true in a 1960s foothill ranch bath unless someone checks the actual opening, not the builder’s drawing. We do that every day, from 91784 to 91786. Call (844) 384-3361 for a free estimate.
Why Upland Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve templated and fit Mr-Glass frameless bi-fold doors, pivot doors, semi-frameless sliders, and custom-cut mirrors into Upland’s mid-century tract homes and foothill custom builds long enough to know what moves and what doesn’t. Noel Figueroa, our owner and general contractor, grew up in the Vineyard neighborhood of Ontario and learned framing on job sites around the Inland Empire before he was old enough to rent a truck. That background matters when a shower curb has settled three-eighths of an inch on expansive clay. We don’t just swap glass; we check plumb, shim the curb, re-anchor the jamb, and then template the panel to the real opening. Upland homeowners call us because we’ll say when a re-seal and hinge swap beats a full replacement, and we’ll say when it won’t. We source OEM Mr-Glass hardware and seals where they’re still available, and we stock quality aftermarket hinges, sweeps, and rollers for the older lines that Mr-Glass has discontinued. See our full Mr-Glass sales & service page for how we handle parts and repairs.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Upland
- Out-of-square rough openings in 1950s – 1970s tract baths. Upland’s mid-century tract homes near downtown were framed fast, and the openings were rarely square even on day one. A stock Mr-Glass panel will bind at the hinge or leave a wedge gap at the sill. We template and shim to the real opening.
- Settled shower curbs and out-of-plumb jambs on foothill lots in 91784. Expansive clay at the base of the San Gabriels moves bathroom floors over decades. The enclosure that sealed fine in 1985 now leaks at the bottom corner because the curb dropped. We re-level, re-anchor, and re-template.
- Corroded hinges and failed seals from hard-mineral water. Upland’s water leaves calcium and mineral deposits that eat at hinge finishes and stiffen seals through long hot summers and repeated wet-dry cycles. We replace OEM or quality aftermarket hardware and reseal before leaks destroy the curb or subfloor.
- Cracked or chipped tempered panels in 40-plus-year-old homes. Original builder-grade Mr-Glass units are now reaching end of life across Upland. Tempered glass gives way suddenly, and a chipped edge is a failure waiting to happen. We measure, order, and install replacements cut to the current opening.
- Leaking tub-to-shower conversion glass kits. When a tub comes out and a shower pan goes in on a floor that has moved, the stock Mr-Glass kit rarely seats properly. We check the pan, the walls, and the curb before we hang glass, so the door swings clean and the seal holds through the wet season.
Mr-Glass Service in Upland: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing most shower door companies in the Inland Empire won’t tell you: Upland’s foothill streets in 91784 sit on expansive clay soils at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, and that ground movement is why so many older Mr-Glass shower enclosures here arrive out of plumb and out of square. Our templates have to be checked against the settled curb and wall, not the original builder drawings. On a foothill street in the 91784 ZIP, we replaced a failing semi-frameless Mr-Glass slider in a 1960s ranch bath where the clay-soil movement had pulled the curb out of level and skewed the jamb. Our tech re-checked plumb against the framing, shimmed and re-anchored the curb, and had a custom-templated frameless Mr-Glass panel cut to the real opening rather than the stock size. The door now swings clean and the seal holds through the wet season. That soil-driven movement is a foothill-Upland condition, not something the flatter inland tracts deal with the same way. If your Mr-Glass enclosure has a gap at the bottom that widens toward one corner, the floor has moved. We fix the floor, then fit the glass. For a broader look at what we handle across the city, see our Upland service area page.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Upland
We install and service Mr-Glass frameless bi-fold and pivot shower doors, semi-frameless sliding shower enclosures, custom-cut tempered glass panels and mirrors, and tub-to-shower conversion glass kits. For parts, the approach is simple. We use OEM Mr-Glass hardware and seals where Mr-Glass still makes them, because factory fit and finish on a frameless door is hard to beat. Where the line is discontinued, we turn to quality aftermarket hinges, sweeps, and rollers that match the original geometry closely. The difference is that we’re honest about which is which. A homeowner deserves to know whether the hinge we’re quoting is the one that came on the door in 1998 or a well-made equivalent. Build it right the first time. The second time costs twice as much and nobody’s happy about it.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Upland
What you’ll pay depends on the condition of the opening, not just the glass. A clean, square shower in a newer Upland home takes a stock panel and goes in fast. A settled 1960s foothill bath needs curb work, shimming, and custom templating, and that adds labor. Here are the ranges we work within across Upland:
| Service | Typical Range (Upland) |
|---|---|
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 – $3,000 |

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Upland
In most Upland cases we see, the floor has moved, not the door. Expansive clay soil, especially in the foothill ZIP 91784, settles over decades and pulls shower curbs out of level. The door then drags at one end or leaves a widening gap at the other because the track or pivot is no longer square to the floor. We re-level and re-anchor the curb, then adjust or re-template the glass to the corrected opening. Call (844) 384-3361 and we’ll tell you whether it’s a simple adjustment or a re-templated panel.
Yes, and that’s often the right call. If the frame is sound and the opening is square, we can swap a cracked panel, replace corroded hinges, or install new sweeps and rollers without replacing the entire enclosure. We use OEM Mr-Glass parts where they’re still available and quality aftermarket equivalents where they’re not. If the glass has moved out of square because the floor settled, a new panel alone won’t fix the leak, and we’ll tell you that before you spend money on it.
We handle the full scope. That’s the difference between us and a glass-only shop. If your tub-to-shower conversion means removing a tub, rebuilding the pan, tiling the walls, and then hanging a Mr-Glass enclosure, we run the entire job under one contract. We’re a general contractor, not a subcontractor, so the tile, the curb, the plumbing, and the glass all answer to the same schedule and the same foreman.
Most Upland tub-to-shower conversions with a Mr-Glass enclosure run one to two weeks, depending on whether we’re repairing floor movement, re-tiling, or just replacing the fixture. Foothill homes on clay soil often need a day or two of curb and subfloor work before tile and glass, and that’s time you don’t skip. We’ll give you a written schedule at the estimate, and we hold to it. Call (844) 384-3361 for an exact timeline on your bathroom.
Usually, yes, but it will need custom templating rather than a stock kit. 1950s tract homes near downtown Upland were framed quickly, and the rough openings are rarely square by modern standards. A stock Mr-Glass frameless panel will bind or leave an uneven gap at the sill. We measure the actual opening, shim and square the frame where needed, and order the glass cut to those real dimensions. Done right, a frameless Rancho Cucamonga Mr-Glass service door fits a mid-century bath just as cleanly as a new build.
