Mr-Glass Construction in Santa Ana, CA | Timberline Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass installation and repair across Santa Ana, from frameless shower enclosures in 1920s bungalows to glass work inside brand-new garage-conversion ADUs. The thing that sets our Mr-Glass service apart here is that we field-template nearly every panel because so many Santa Ana bathrooms, especially in the older core, are out of plumb and out of square. We’re Timberline Contractors, led by Nelson Fung, and we diagnose before we order. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass project in Santa Ana.
Why Santa Ana Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve worked Mr-Glass products across enough Santa Ana bungalow remodels and ADU conversions to know how their glass actually behaves in this housing stock, not just how the catalog describes it. Nelson Fung learned the trade formally at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years on remodels across the LA basin before running Timberline Contractors, so when we say a wall is out of plumb by half an inch, we’ve measured it, and we know what that means for a 10mm tempered glass panel.
Our approach starts with the mechanism, not the glass. Hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals fail long before tempered glass does in Santa Ana’s dry, dusty climate. We repair the hardware first and reserve full replacement for panels that are cracked, chipped, or cut wrong for the opening. That saves Santa Ana homeowners real money, and it’s the honest way to do the work. We’re an independent contractor, not affiliated with or authorized by Mr-Glass, so our recommendations come from the job site, not a corporate script.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Santa Ana
- Hinge and pivot corrosion on frameless enclosures. Santa Ana’s hard water leaves mineral deposits, and the dry offshore winds push fine dust into every crevice. That combination collects in pivot cups and hinge barrels, causing door sag and glass-to-wall binding. We replace the worn Mr-Glass OEM hardware and re-align the panel before the stress cracks the glass.
- Dried-out silicone and sweep seals on bypass doors. The hot, dry Santa Ana summer bakes flexible seals until they shrink and crack. Wind-driven dust accelerates the wear. Once a sweep fails, water tracks onto the sill and rots the drywall behind it. We replace sweeps and re-seal with materials rated for this climate.
- Factory-cut panels that don’t fit pre-1950s bathrooms. Older Santa Ana homes were rarely framed plumb or square. A stock-size Mr-Glass panel ordered off a floor plan will arrive with uneven gaps and stress points at the corners, which is exactly where tempered glass cracks. We field-measure before ordering, every time.
- Wall-anchored mirrors pulling loose from aging drywall. Bungalows in the older core have decades-old drywall and stud spacing that was never designed for heavy glass. After a room addition shifts load, anchors can fail. We locate studs, install proper blocking where needed, and set mirrors so they stay put.
- Glass work inside converted garages. We see this constantly now, because garage-conversion ADUs are the single most common permit pulled in Santa Ana’s older core. The new walls are furred-out and rarely plumb, so stock Mr-Glass panels don’t fit. Field-templating is the only reliable way to do these right.
Mr-Glass Service in Santa Ana: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Santa Ana’s construction market runs on aging pre-1950s housing. Tract after tract of small stucco-and-drywall bungalows in the dense core, ZIPs like 92701, 92703, 92704, and 92707, are being reworked and added onto rather than torn down. Most of those lots are tight, the bathrooms are small, and the walls are rarely plumb. For Mr-Glass owners in nearby communities, including those seeking Mr-Glass repair in North Tustin, that means a stock shower enclosure or mirror panel ordered to a catalog dimension will fight the room from day one.
The garage-conversion angle matters even more. Because ADU permits in converted garages are now the most common type pulled in the older core, a large share of our Mr-Glass work in Santa Ana is outfitting new bathrooms inside former detached garages. Those walls are furred-out, insulated, and sheeted, but they’re almost never square. Every Mr-Glass panel on those jobs gets field-templated rather than ordered to a stock size. If you’re in 92704 or 92707 looking at a garage conversion, that’s the difference between an enclosure that fits and one that binds at the corner.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Santa Ana
We install and repair the full Mr-Glass range relevant to Santa Ana homes and Mr-Glass in Fountain Valley: frameless shower enclosures in 10mm tempered glass with wall-mount or pivot hinges, sliding and bypass tub-and-shower door kits, custom-cut vanity mirrors, and glass railing or interior panel systems where the project calls for them.
On parts, we use Mr-Glass OEM hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals wherever the specific model requires them. Where OEM is discontinued or out of line with a tight remodel budget, we switch to proven aftermarket hardware and tell you exactly what we’re doing and why. Glass itself rarely needs replacing when only the hardware has failed. We repair the mechanism first and hold full replacement for panels that are cracked, chipped, or out of tolerance for the opening.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Santa Ana
Here’s what Mr-Glass shower and bath work typically runs in Santa Ana, based on our current projects across the older core and the ADU conversions going up around town:
| Service | Typical Santa Ana Range |
|---|---|
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |

| Small Bathroom Remodel | $5,000 – $12,000 |
What pushes a Santa Ana job toward the top of those ranges is usually the wall condition: out-of-plumb framing means more field-templating, more custom cutting, and sometimes more blocking and drywall repair before glass goes in. A free estimate from us includes a measured assessment of the opening, so you’ll know the real number before any work starts. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll walk the space with you.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Santa Ana
No. We’re an independent contractor serving Santa Ana and surrounding areas. We work with Mr-Glass OEM parts because they fit the products correctly, but we have no manufacturer affiliation, which means our repair recommendations come from job-site experience rather than a brand playbook.
Yes, where the specific model calls for them. We use Mr-Glass OEM hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals on current product lines. Where OEM is discontinued or doesn’t make sense on a tight remodel budget, we use proven aftermarket hardware and explain the difference before we order. The one thing we won’t do is put a cheap pivot on a heavy 10mm panel and call it done.
Most frameless enclosures take one to two days on site, assuming the walls are ready. Field-templating adds a measuring trip up front, and custom-cut panels add lead time from the fabricator. Garage-conversion ADUs with out-of-plumb walls usually run longer because of the prep work. We’ll give you a schedule before we start, and it’ll hold unless the framing reveals something nobody saw coming.
Frameless shower enclosures, sliding and bypass tub-and-shower door kits, custom-cut vanity mirrors, and glass railing and panel systems. If it’s a Mr-Glass product installed in a Santa Ana bathroom or Mr-Glass in Orange, we’ve likely worked on it or one like it. The frameless 10mm enclosures are the most common call, and the bypass doors on tubs in older bungalows are a close second.
Walk-in shower installations run $4,500 to $12,000, tub-to-shower conversions $3,500 to $10,000, and shower replacements $3,000 to $8,500, depending on wall condition and glass size. Pre-1950s bathrooms with out-of-square framing land on the higher side because of the extra templating and prep. Call (866) 253-5808 for an exact quote, our estimates are free.

If your Mr-Glass enclosure is binding, leaking, or just wasn’t measured for the room it’s in, we’ll fix it right. On a recent garage-conversion ADU off the 92704 core, we set a frameless Mr-Glass shower in a former detached garage where the furred walls were out of plumb by nearly half an inch over the panel height. We field-templated the glass, reset the pivots with new OEM hardware, and re-sealed the sweep so the door cleared clean. It’s been watertight through two Santa Ana wind seasons. Do it right the first time or explain yourself twice. Call (866) 253-5808 to schedule your free estimate.
