Mr-Glass Construction in Sunnyvale, CA | Gold Star Contractors
We install, template, repair, and replace Mr-Glass shower enclosures, windows, and custom glass across Sunnyvale’s post-war ranches and newer second-story rebuilds. Our work here is shaped by one recurring reality: the 1950s and 60s tract homes in 94086 and 94087 settle, shift, and get squeezed by the City’s tight setback rules, so Mr-Glass openings rarely stay square. That’s exactly the condition we’re built to handle. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll come measure, quote, and fix it right the first time.
We are an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate or authorized dealer. Our full background on Mr-Glass sales & service explains the range of enclosures and glass packages we cover. Here in Sunnyvale, what matters is that we know the local housing stock and the way Mr-Glass products behave inside it.
Why Sunnyvale Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Noel Carranza, our owner and general contractor, grew up around older tract homes in Anaheim and spent his twenties doing concrete, framing, and finish carpentry across Orange County before building this operation. That hands-on background is why he can walk into a 1960s Sunnyvale bathroom, look at a binding Home Remodeling in Sunnyvale Mr-Glass slider, and tell you in five minutes whether the door is out of square or the curb is out of level. Most homeowners in Sunnyvale don’t need a sales pitch. They need a contractor who has actually templated glass in a house that hasn’t been level since the Johnson administration.
We stock genuine Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, sweeps, and seals for current series, and we keep stainless aftermarket hardware on the truck for the older enclosures where OEM parts are long discontinued. That stock means faster turnaround for Sunnyvale homeowners, many of whom are already juggling plan checks, foundation crews, and a General Contractor in Sunnyvale for their second-story addition. When the shower door finally goes in, it should be the simplest part of the job. We make sure it is.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Sunnyvale
- Binding and jumping semi-frameless sliders in 94086/94087 ranches. Original Mr-Glass bypass doors from the 60s and 70s sit in homes whose slabs have settled decades past flat. The track twists, the rollers bind, and the door pops off. We re-level or replace the track, square the header, and set new rollers so the door glides without a fight.
- Pitted and stiffened OEM hinges on older pivot enclosures. Those brass and plated hinges from the 1980s look fine until you try to swing the door and it groans. Sunnyvale’s dry season doesn’t help; dust and mineral residue work into the pivot. We replace originals with stainless hardware when the OEM part is gone or the plating has failed.
- Hardened seals that leak during winter rains. Sunnyvale goes bone dry from May through October, and rubber sweep gaskets harden and shrink in that heat. When the winter rains finally arrive, water tracks under the curb and onto the subfloor. We replace sweeps and seals with UV-stable material sized to the actual opening, then test for a dry curb line.
- Racked enclosures after a bathroom re-tile or panel upgrade. A 94087 ranch gets a new electrical panel or a re-pipe, the surround gets disturbed, and suddenly the Mr-Glass door doesn’t close within half an inch of the strike jamb. We re-template the enclosure to the new wall depths and plumb lines rather than forcing stock panels into an opening they no longer fit.
- Out-of-square second-story bath openings. When a Sunnyvale homeowner expands upward, the reworked bathroom almost never lands perfectly square. Stock Mr-Glass panels show up too wide or narrow because the framing crew built to the city’s daylight-plane limit, not to the shower’s original rough opening. We template custom glass to the actual dimensions, first trip.
Mr-Glass Service in Sunnyvale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
The tight-lot problem shapes more Mr-Glass in Santa Clara and Sunnyvale work than any other factor. In the ranch and Eichler-influenced tracts of 94086 and 94087, 1950s and 60s homes sit on small parcels that owners now want to rebuild into much larger two-story homes. Sunnyvale’s planning process enforces setback, height, and daylight-plane limits that force new second-story walls tight against neighboring single-story homes, sometimes within inches of a lot line. That squeeze changes the wall depth and plumb we encounter when we template a Mr-Glass enclosure inside a reworked bath. A wall that reads 5-1/2 inches deep at the curb may step to 7 inches near the ceiling because the framer furred it out to hit a daylight plane. Stock Mr-Glass panels are not built for that. Our custom templating is. This is the kind of detail a generic Mr-Glass page and a generic Sunnyvale page both miss, and it’s the first thing we check when we walk the job.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Sunnyvale
We work on the full Mr-Glass residential range: frameless pivot shower enclosures in 3/8-inch tempered glass with chrome or brushed nickel hinges, semi-frameless sliding bypass tub and shower doors, aluminum sliding and vinyl replacement window series, and custom-cut mirror and glass shelf packages for bath and vanity work. Our parts approach is simple: we use genuine Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, and seals where the series still supports them, and quality stainless aftermarket hardware when the OEM line is discontinued or the original plating failed. If the glass and framing are sound, we repair. If the enclosure is racked beyond square or the glass is chipped at the hinge line, we recommend a properly templated replacement instead of chasing parts that won’t fix the geometry.
We regularly handle the three enclosures Mr-Glass in Cupertino and Sunnyvale homeowners ask about most: frameless glass shower enclosures, walk-in shower installation, and tub-to-shower conversion. Each one gets templated to the actual opening, not to a spec sheet someone filled out before the slab moved.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Sunnyvale
No. We’re an independent contractor, not a manufacturer affiliate or authorized service center. That independence is the point. We’re judged on fit, finish, and callbacks, not on a brand badge, so we’re free to tell you when a repair makes sense and when a replacement is the honest answer. Call (833) 382-8544 for an independent assessment.
Yes, where the series still supports them. For current Mr-Glass models we use genuine OEM hinges, rollers, and seals. For older 1960s-to-1980s enclosures where the OEM parts are discontinued, we use quality stainless aftermarket hardware rather than forcing a mismatched factory part into a door that needs something sturdier. Call (833) 382-8544 and we’ll tell you which category your enclosure falls into.
Setback and daylight-plane limits in Sunnyvale force second-story walls tight against neighboring homes, and that changes the wall depth and plumb inside the reworked bathroom. Stock Mr-Glass panels are cut for square, standard-depth openings, so they arrive too wide, too narrow, or twisted at the curb. We re-template the glass to the actual dimensions of your finished walls, which is the only way the door will seal and swing correctly. Call (833) 382-8544 before the stock panel gets ordered.
Most hinge, roller, and seal repairs run one to two hours. A full custom enclosure replacement typically takes one to two weeks from template to glass install, depending on glass lead time and the City of Sunnyvale permit status on the underlying bathroom work. We’ll give you a written schedule at the estimate.
A simple seal and sweep replacement is the least expensive fix, included in a shower repair that starts around $400 in labor and materials. If the leak comes from a racked frame or a failed curb, you’re closer to shower replacement territory, which runs $3,000 to $8,500 depending on glass package. Call (833) 382-8544 for an exact quote. Estimates are free.
