Mr-Glass Construction in San Martin, CA | Timberline Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across San Martin, California, from frameless shower enclosures to glass shelving and custom mirrors. The one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work here different is that we plan every job around Santa Clara County permit sign-off, Llagas Creek drainage review, and the well-water chemistry that chews through silicone faster than treated municipal water. If you need a Mr-Glass enclosure templated, repaired, or replaced on a rural San Martin parcel, call (866) 253-5808 for a free estimate.
Why San Martin Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We have spent years templating and installing Mr-Glass enclosures into San Martin’s older ranch houses, farmworker-era homes, and newer custom builds on big valley-floor lots. Nelson Fung, our owner and general contractor, learned the trade at LA Trade-Technical College before running remodels and commercial builds across the LA basin, and he still insists on measuring every opening himself because rural houses here rarely frame square. That matters when a Mr-Glass pivot door has a half-inch tolerance and your alcove has been settling since the 1970s. Our Mr-Glass sales & service work covers the whole South County stretch, and we stock common OEM hinges, sweeps, and seals so San Martin callbacks do not drag on for weeks.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in San Martin
- Sun-baked pivot and hinge hardware. South- and west-facing showers in San Martin get hammered by dry summer heat, and OEM Mr-Glass pivots seize or corrode faster than manufacturer spec sheets anticipate. We re-hinge with upgraded hardware rated for that exposure.
- Hard well water mineral film and etching. Most larger San Martin parcels run on private wells, and the mineral load leaves clear Mr-Glass panels hazed and the silicone at the glass-to-tile seam breaking down early. We pair glass restoration with hydrophobic coatings that slow the buildup.
- Out-of-plumb alcoves in older ranch and farmworker-era homes. Original Mr-Glass units were often set into walls that were never square, so seals gap and sweep blades stop contacting the curb. Water escapes at the floor and the fix starts with blocking, not glass.
- Winter-rain framing movement racking enclosures. Older unblocked bathroom walls in San Martin move during wet winters, and panels crack or hinge screws pop loose when they were anchored to drywall instead of solid backing. We square and block before we re-hang.
- County permit sequencing on plumbing or framing changes. Any Mr-Glass job in San Martin that moves a drain or alters framing goes through Santa Clara County plan review and inspection, which changes when we template and when we can install.
Mr-Glass Service in San Martin: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Martin has no city building department, so a shower or enclosure job that moves plumbing or framing here goes through Santa Clara County permit and inspection rather than a municipal counter. That on its own would be manageable, but on the Llagas Creek flood corridor, drainage and grading details get pulled into the same plan review as your bathroom rough-in. We have sat at the county counter while a reviewer asked how a tub-to-shower conversion on a creek-adjacent lot would affect site drainage, which is not a conversation you have in Morgan Hill or Gilroy. For Mr-Glass owners, it means the enclosure template cannot happen until the rough-in is signed off, and the install date has to account for county inspection scheduling. On a large lot off the Llagas Creek side of town, our crew took on a tub-to-shower conversion in an older ranch house where the original alcove was framed for a tub and the wall was out of plumb by over half an inch. We set new blocking, squared the opening, got the county rough-in signed off, then field-templated a Mr-Glass frameless pivot enclosure with upgraded hinges rated for the sun exposure and a hydrophobic coating for the well-water mineral load. Doors close clean and stay clear. That is the difference between planning for San Martin and hoping a city-template job works here.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in San Martin
We work on Mr-Glass frameless pivot and hinged shower door enclosures, sliding bypass shower and tub enclosures, semi-frameless and framed shower door units, custom-cut mirrors, and glass shelving. For parts, we use OEM Mr-Glass hinges, pivots, sweeps, and seals wherever they are available. When an OEM part is discontinued, we substitute quality aftermarket hardware only where the dimensions actually match the original mounting points. We will happily re-hinge and re-seal a solid Mr-Glass panel rather than push a full replacement, but when glass is chipped, tempered panels are cored at the hinge, or the opening has moved beyond adjustment, replacement is the honest answer. We stock common hardware locally so most San Martin service calls do not wait on a warehouse shipment.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in San Martin
It depends on the scope. A straight glass-for-glass replacement or re-seal typically does not require a permit. If we are moving plumbing, altering the drain, or changing framing in a wall, that work goes through Santa Clara County plan check and inspection because San Martin is unincorporated county land. We pull the permits, get the rough-in signed off, and sequence the glass templating after inspection. Call (866) 253-5808 and we will tell you upfront whether your job is permit-scoped.
San Martin parcels on private wells carry mineral loads that municipal water systems in Morgan Hill or Gilroy treat out, unlike what we see with Mr-Glass in Corralitos. Calcium and magnesium deposit on clear Mr-Glass panels, etch the surface over time, and accelerate silicone breakdown at the glass-to-tile seam. We restore what is salvageable and apply a hydrophobic coating that slows the buildup, but the well chemistry here means maintenance is a local fact of life. Call (866) 253-5808 for an exact assessment and quote.
Yes, when the glass and the opening are still sound. We re-hinge with OEM Mr-Glass hardware where it is available, re-seal with the right silicone for your water chemistry, and replace worn sweeps and seals. If the panel is chipped, the hinge holes are cored out, or the wall has moved past adjustment, replacement is the only honest fix. Call (866) 253-5808 and we will give you the straight answer on which path applies to your enclosure.
Usually, with some framing work. San Martin ranch houses and farmworker-era homes often have tub alcoves that were never square or plumb, and a frameless Mr-Glass pivot needs a tight tolerance to hang right. We square the opening, set new blocking behind the wall, and then field-template the enclosure to the finished dimensions. Call (866) 253-5808 to have us measure your alcove and tell you what is feasible.
County permit review and inspection cycles set the timeline more than anything else. If your Mr-Glass job moves plumbing or framing, we sequence rough-in, county inspection, and glass templating around the county’s schedule, not ours. Llagas Creek drainage review can pull additional time on creek-adjacent lots. We give you a realistic schedule at the estimate so you are not waiting on surprises. Call (866) 253-5808 to talk through your project.
