Mr-Glass Construction in Redlands, CA | Pinecrest Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Redlands, from frameless shower enclosure installs to slider repairs and tub-to-shower conversions. What makes our Mr-Glass work here different is simple: Redlands is full of 1900-1930 Craftsman and Spanish Colonial Revival bathrooms with walls that are rarely plumb, and the city’s historic preservation review applies to certain exterior glass changes. We know both the product and the paperwork. For service in 92373, 92374, or 92375, call us at (855) 702-1622. For broader context on the brand, see our Mr-Glass sales & service page.
As an independent contractor, Pinecrest Contractors installs and repairs Mr-Glass shower enclosures across the Inland Empire. We are not a factory agent or an authorized warranty center. That distinction matters: we work on the products themselves, and we’ll tell you plainly when a Mr-Glass enclosure can be saved and when it can’t.
Why Redlands Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass enclosures are common in Redlands bathrooms, especially in the older neighborhoods where homeowners want a clean glass line without losing the room’s original character. We’ve spent years working on these enclosures in homes where the tile is original, the floor slopes, and the walls haven’t been straight since 1927. Gil Rourke, our owner, came up working every phase of residential construction across the Temecula Valley, and he learned early that old houses don’t follow the manual. That’s the lens we bring to Mr-Glass service in Redlands.
We stock genuine Mr-Glass replacement rollers, sweeps, and wall channels here in Southern California. When an OEM part is discontinued, we use matched aftermarket hardware, never a mismatched track-and-roller set that just accelerates wear. If the glass is still sound, we re-seal and re-shim rather than push a replacement. The right material in the right place, that’s where the job starts. And in Redlands, “the right material” often has to satisfy a preservation review before we even order it.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Redlands
- Hard-water etching on frameless panels. Redlands water is hard, and the Inland Empire heat concentrates it. Fixed panels that never get squeegeed develop mineral film and etching faster than homeowners expect. We restore what’s restorable and tell you when the glass itself is compromised.
- Corroded slider rollers and seized bottom tracks. Calcium and soap scum build up in semi-frameless Mr-Glass tracks, especially in Redlands where summer heat bakes the residue. Doors start dragging, then jump the track entirely. We replace rollers and clean or swap tracks before the glass gets chipped.
- Cracked and shriveled vinyl sweeps. Mr-Glass factory-applied sweeps and gaskets dry out under 100°F+ Redlands summers. Once they crack, water escapes and stains the sill and curb. We replace them with OEM or matched aftermarket seals.
- Failed silicone at the wall channel. In 1920s Craftsman bathrooms, a wall that’s out of plumb stresses the silicone seal at the Mr-Glass wall channel. Water wicks behind the glass and into the framing. We re-shim the channel and re-seal it correctly rather than just caulking over the problem.
- Glass that’s fine but framing that’s tired. Redlands homeowners often inherit Mr-Glass enclosures from previous remodels. The glass is clear, but the hardware is worn. We rebuild the enclosure around the original glass when the pane is still good, which saves money and keeps citrus-era bathrooms intact.
Mr-Glass Service in Redlands: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Redlands’ historic districts, exterior glass changes can trigger city preservation review. That’s true of windows, and it can also apply to a bath remodel where a shower enclosure alteration touches a reviewed elevation. On a 1920s Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow off Cajon Street in 92373, a Mr-Glass semi-frameless slider was dragging and leaking at the sill because the original wall was nearly an inch out of plumb and the rollers had corroded. We rebuilt the wall channel, shimmed the enclosure back to plumb, replaced the rollers and sweep, and re-sealed the base. The original Mr-Glass glass stayed in place, and the water stopped tracking onto the curb. Homeowners in east-side tract homes never face review questions like these, but in downtown Redlands it’s a standard part of the job. We confirm whether a glass or window alteration touches a reviewed elevation before we order anything, because ordering the wrong panel twice is a costly lesson.

Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Redlands
We service the full Mr-Glass residential lineup: frameless glass shower enclosures, semi-frameless sliding shower doors, tub-to-shower conversion panels, and custom-cut shower and splash guard glass. Our parts approach stays consistent across all of them. We source genuine Mr-Glass rollers, sweeps, and wall channels where they’re still available, and we use matched aftermarket hardware only when OEM parts are discontinued. That matters in Redlands, where older enclosures from discontinued Mr-Glass series often surface in homes that haven’t been remodeled since the 1990s.
Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures
Our most requested Mr-Glass install in Redlands. These enclosures work well in the walk-in showers of east-side homes in 92374 and in renovated Craftsman bathrooms downtown, provided the walls are shimmed and the glass is templated to an actual site measurement, not a builder’s assumption.
Semi-Frameless Sliding Shower Doors
Common in Redlands bathrooms where space is tight. We handle the full life of these systems, from initial install to roller and track replacement years down the line when hard water and summer heat take their toll.
Tub-to-Shower Conversion Panels
Many Redlands homeowners with original tubs want a shower without losing the tub’s footprint. Mr-Glass tub-to-shower conversion panels let us build a walk-in opening without a full bathroom gut. We handle the waterproofing under the pan and the glass above it.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Redlands
Yes, but not by bolting glass to a crooked wall and caulking the gap. The wall channel has to be shimmed to plumb before the glass goes in, and the curb needs to be level or the swing panel will bind. We’ve done this in enough 1920s Redlands bathrooms to know the shim-and-seal sequence by heart. For an exact quote on your bathroom, call (855) 702-1622.
In Redlands, it’s almost always corroded rollers and a bottom track full of calcium and soap scum. The summer heat bakes the residue, and the rollers seize. Sometimes the track itself is bent from years of forcing the door. We’ll tell you whether the fix is roller and track replacement or something deeper. Call (855) 702-1622 for an assessment.
Possibly, if the change touches a street-facing or reviewed elevation. Redlands’ preservation review can apply to exterior window replacements and some glass alterations. Shower enclosures inside a bathroom rarely trigger it, but if the bathroom window is part of the work, we check before ordering. We handle that step for clients across the Redlands service area.
Over time, yes. The vinyl sweeps and gaskets on Mr-Glass enclosures dry out and crack under sustained Inland Empire heat. Once they crack, water escapes and stains the sill. Replacing the sweeps every few years is normal maintenance, not a defect. If your seals are brittle, call (855) 702-1622 and we can swap them.
If the glass is clear and the only problems are hardware, rollers, or seals, repair is usually the better call, and it keeps original citrus-era bathrooms intact. If the pane is etched, a channel has failed at the wall, or you want a different opening, a tub-to-shower conversion with new Mr-Glass panels may be worth it. We’ll give you a straight read either way. Call (855) 702-1622 for a free estimate.
