Mr-Glass Construction in Running Springs, CA | Pinecrest Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass shower enclosure installation, repair, and replacement across Running Springs, CA, and also offer Mr-Glass service in Highland. As a full-scope general contractor, we handle the framing, plumbing alignment, waterproofing, and glass work together under one contract, which means the enclosure fits the actual rough opening instead of fighting it. Call (855) 702-1622 for a free estimate.
Running Springs is mountain-grade work. At roughly 6,000 feet, cabins move with the seasons. A Mr-Glass enclosure that gets installed plumb in August may shift its tracking by February. We’re the crew that understands that before the first panel gets ordered, because we’ve re-plumbed enough pier-and-post bathrooms up here to know what the mountain does to glass and hardware. If you want a Mr-Glass unit installed by someone who actually builds the wall it hangs on, that’s us.
Why Running Springs Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most glass companies send a technician who only touches the enclosure. We send a crew that understands what the enclosure is attached to. That distinction matters in Running Springs, where 1930s-to-1970s mountain cabins often have out-of-square openings, shifting pier-and-post floors, and framing that’s had seventy years of freeze-thaw working on it. We square the opening, verify the substrate, install the Mr-Glass unit, and waterproof the base so it drains properly.
Gil Rourke, our owner, grew up off Murrieta Hot Springs Road and has spent his career working every phase of residential builds, from framing to finish. He still keeps a worn framing square from his brother’s framing days hanging in the truck cab. That’s the mindset we bring to Running Springs: measure twice, account for the mountain, build it to work year one and year ten.
We use genuine Mr-Glass replacement hinges, seals, sweeps, and handles where they’re still available, and quality aftermarket tempered glass and hardware when a model is discontinued or OEM parts sit on long lead time. You get options explained straight, not a sales pitch.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Running Springs
- Doors that stick, bind, or drag. Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy snow season flex in older mountain cabin walls can rack a frameless enclosure out of plumb. The sliding door starts binding against the jamb, and the bottom sweep drags or leaks. We re-plumb the opening and re-hang the panels.
- Clouded, etched glass. Running Springs water is mineral-heavy, and that etches and clouds tempered glass faster than flatland city water. If the glass is beyond polishing, we replace it. If it’s salvageable, we’ll tell you that too.
- Cracked or yellowed seals and sweeps. Dry mountain summers and UV harden original builder-grade seals, sweeps, and clear plastic hinge gaskets until they crack. Water tracks onto wood subfloors and does real damage. We replace them with quality components, not the same parts that failed.
- Out-of-square rough openings. Cabins built from the 1930s through the 1970s weren’t framed to modern tolerances, and pier-and-post foundations shift. A prefab Mr-Glass door often needs re-fitting or the enclosure reordered to fit the real rough opening, not the blueprint.
- Leaks at the base. When the enclosure isn’t sealed correctly to a shifting floor, shower water finds its way under the pan and onto wood. We waterproof the base properly and verify drainage before we call it done.
Mr-Glass Service in Running Springs: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Running Springs sits at about 6,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, and that elevation changes how we install every Mr-Glass enclosure we touch here. Snow load and freeze-thaw move walls and rough openings far more than anything a flatland Inland Empire house experiences. A frameless enclosure that fits perfectly in September can be binding by March because the wall racked half an inch over a cold, wet winter. We work along Highway 330 and Rim of the World Highway, and the cabins we service up there often sit on piers with wood exteriors and original framing that expands and contracts with every storm cycle. So our Mr-Glass installs get plumb-checked and re-verified after the first full winter, not just at install. That’s the difference between a glass company that treats Running Springs like Murrieta and one that knows the mountain. The right material in the right place, that’s where the job starts.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Running Springs
Here’s what Mountain homeowners typically see for Mr-Glass-related shower work. A full walk-in shower installation runs higher than a simple shower replacement because it requires waterproofing, base prep, and plumbing alignment, not just glass. Tub-to-shower conversion lands in the middle because we’re reworking the existing footprint. The vanity range reflects what we see in Running Springs bathrooms where a new Mr-Glass enclosure is going in alongside a refreshed vanity.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| 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 |
Your exact cost depends on what’s behind the existing walls, whether the rough opening needs plumbing, and what kind of waterproofing the base requires. The estimate we give you includes all of that, spelled out before work starts. Call (855) 702-1622 for an exact quote, estimates are free.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Running Springs
Because your cabin sits at roughly 6,000 feet and your brother’s place doesn’t. Freeze-thaw cycles and snow load move mountain walls seasonally. The rough opening shifts, the enclosure gets racked out of plumb, and the sliding door starts binding. We re-plumb the opening and re-hang the panels. If it’s happening to your Mr-Glass unit, call (855) 702-1622 and we’ll diagnose it before it gets worse.
Not directly. Snow sits on your roof, not your shower glass. What it does is move the walls around the enclosure over time. Tree cover means shade, which means slower drying and more mineral and moisture exposure. We address both by sealing and re-checking enclosures after the first full winter. The enclosure itself is tempered glass; it can handle the environment if the installation accounts for it.
Yes, and we prefer to when the glass is sound and the opening is still square. We use genuine Mr-Glass hardware where it’s still available and quality aftermarket parts when a model is discontinued. If the glass is chipped, etched beyond polishing, or the opening has moved out of square, we’ll tell you replacement is the smarter money. Call (855) 702-1622 for an honest read on what your enclosure actually needs.
Usually yes, but it may require re-framing or adjusting the enclosure order to fit the real rough opening. Many Running Springs cabins built between the 1930s and 1970s have out-of-square openings and pier-and-post floors that shift. We build the opening to spec, then install the enclosure. That’s the sequence that prevents the binding and leaking you’re worried about.
Use a squeegee after each shower and wipe down the hardware and glass every few days. You can also apply a glass protectant that slows mineral etching. If the glass is already clouded, we can assess whether it’s polishable or needs replacement. Mountain water is hard on glass finishes, and being consistent beats a monthly deep clean.
