Mr-Glass Construction in Loma Linda, CA | Timberline Contractors
We’re Timberline Contractors, and we provide independent Mr-Glass service across Loma Linda. That means we repair, replace and install Mr-Glass shower enclosures, glass panels and tub-to-shower conversions without being tied to the manufacturer. The thing that sets our Mr-Glass work apart here: we plan every glass installation around Loma Linda’s seismic zone and older housing stock, not just around the glass itself. Call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate.
Why Loma Linda Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass frameless and semi-frameless systems are built differently than the big-box sliding doors most contractors toss into a bathroom. The 3/8-inch glass is heavier, the hinges are load-rated, and the tolerances are tighter. We know those systems because we’ve templated, hung and repaired them across the Inland Empire long enough to know how they behave in real homes rather than showroom displays. Nelson Fung, our owner and general contractor, learned the trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and spent years on remodels where one bad hinge block turned into a six-week structural discovery. He’s the guy who asks about your stud framing before he asks about your glass finish. In Loma Linda, that matters more than most people realize.
We’re an independent contractor. We are not affiliated with or authorized by Mr-Glass, and we’ll tell you plainly when a repair beats a replacement. We bring OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers and sweeps when the model is still supported, and specification-grade aftermarket hardware when it isn’t. No pretending the aftermarket part is factory. For a full look at our Mr-Glass sales & service capabilities, that page breaks down our approach in detail. If you’re outside the immediate area, our Loma Linda service area page shows exactly where we travel.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Loma Linda
- Dragging or skipping rollers on frameless sliders. Loma Linda’s hard water and Inland Empire dust work their way into the track and chew up the rollers. Doors start dragging within a few years, and if you ignore it, the track pits and the door gets harder to move. We replace the rollers, clean or replace the track, and re-set the door so it glides like it should.
- Hinge and pivot sag on heavy 3/8-inch doors. The mid-century homes around Loma Linda, especially the 1950s-to-1970s stock, have settled framing. When a heavy frameless door was hung without proper blocking, the hinges sag and the door drops. We re-block the stud bay and re-hang the enclosure plumb. This is a job you don’t want to patch with a shim and a prayer.
- Hinge-side seal and sweep failure. When the seal fails, water migrates onto the threshold and into the curb. You’ll see soft drywall or lifted tile on the bathroom side of the wall. By the time it’s visible, the damage is already underway. We replace the seals and sweeps, and check the curb for rot while we’re there.
- Spot tempering-edge chips and scratches. Glass edges chip from cleaning impacts or from a tub-to-shower conversion where the new enclosure was fit to an old, out-of-level curb. We replace chipped or de-tempered panels rather than polish them. Polishing glass with a compromised temper is a false economy.
- Leaks at the curb on tub-to-shower conversions. The original curb wasn’t always level, and forcing a Mr-Glass enclosure onto it leaves gaps. We address the curb, level the base, and hang the glass so the sweep actually seals. Otherwise you’re mopping up after every shower.
Mr-Glass Service in Loma Linda: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Loma Linda sits in a high seismic zone, and the construction market here runs on hospital-adjacent oversight because of Loma Linda University Health’s campus. That combination changes how glass gets hung. A typical Mr-Glass service in Highgrove or elsewhere in the Inland Empire might get hinges anchored to whatever stud happens to be behind the drywall. In Loma Linda, we plan for movement. Heavy frameless doors need hinges and blocking that won’t rack when the building flexes. If a building shifts during an earthquake and the glass is anchored rigidly to framing that moves, the glass loses. We buy ourselves tolerance in the anchoring, and we inspect the framing before we ever template the glass. On homes off Anderson Street near the university, settled stud bays and out-of-square openings are common enough that we treat every older Loma Linda bathroom as a potential re-block job until proven otherwise.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Loma Linda
We service the Mr-Glass lines that show up in Loma Linda bathrooms most often: frameless sliding shower door systems, semi-frameless pivot enclosures, neo-angle corner units, fixed glass panels, and tub-to-shower glass conversions. When the model is still supported, we fit OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers and sweeps. When it isn’t, we match specification-grade aftermarket hardware to the same glass thickness, hinge load rating and seal profile. We don’t fake the branding. On glass itself, we replace chipped or de-tempered panels rather than polish them. But a dragging door with sound glass and intact hinges usually gets new rollers, a track and seals instead of a full enclosure replacement. The original glass usually has years left once the hardware is sorted.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Loma Linda
Mr-Glass shower work prices in Loma Linda depend on the scope, the condition of the existing framing and curb, and whether you’re repairing glass or replacing it. Here are the ranges we work within for the most common jobs:
| 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 Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
What drives the cost the most is what we find when the old glass comes off. Studs out of square, a rotted curb, or plumbing that needs rerouting all add scope. That’s why we give a written line-item estimate before any work starts, not a phone quote that changes later. Call (866) 253-5808 to schedule your free estimate. We’ll look at what you have and tell you what it actually needs.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Loma Linda
Usually not. If the glass is sound and the hinges are intact, you need new rollers, a clean or replaced track, and new seals. We do that repair regularly in Loma Linda and it costs a fraction of a new enclosure. Call (866) 253-5808 and we’ll tell you over the phone which side of that line your door is on.
It depends on the framing. Mid-century Loma Linda homes have settled stud bays, and a heavy 3/8-inch frameless door anchored without proper blocking will sag. We inspect the framing first. If it needs re-blocking, that’s a half-day repair before the glass ever goes up. If the wall can’t hold the load, we’ll tell you that too. The glass is heavy, but the anchor is the deciding factor.
Some conversions let you keep the enclosure, some don’t. If the new curb is level and the glass panels fit, reuse is possible. If the old tub was out of level, the existing glass usually won’t re-seat cleanly, and we’ll recommend replacing the enclosure rather than fighting a bad fit. We’ll evaluate the tub, the curb and the framing before recommending anything. Call (866) 253-5808 to get an estimate on your conversion.
Loma Linda’s hard water and heat accelerate metal fatigue on hinges and cause sweeps to dry out and peel. Rusted hinges mean the hinge load rating is compromised, which is a safety issue on a heavy glass door. We replace worn hinges and sweeps rather than cleaning them up. A rusted hinge on a 3/8-inch door is not a cosmetic problem. If your sweeps are peeling, get them replaced before water migrates into the curb.
We do. Loma Linda’s hospital-adjacent work zones come with noise, dust and access restrictions that aren’t typical for a city this size. We coordinate with building management where required, schedule work within the quiet windows we’re given, and contain dust so it doesn’t travel through medical spaces. If your property is within the university’s oversight zone, tell us early so we can plan around the constraints rather than discover them on day one.
