Mr-Glass Construction in Sunnyvale, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co San Jose
Bradford Remodeling Co San Jose provides independent Mr-Glass repair, replacement, and installation across Sunnyvale, and the one thing that separates our work here is knowing the houses. Most Sunnyvale bathrooms were built in the 1950s and 1960s with non-standard alcoves, and Mr-Glass components often need custom fitting rather than an off-the-shelf swap. We’re Curtis Lane’s crew, we’ve worked these mid-century ranches for years, and we put every price in writing before the first tool comes out. Call (669) 272-2637 for a free estimate.
Why Sunnyvale Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We repair and replace Mr-Glass shower doors, tub doors, and fixed glass panels in Sunnyvale homes every month. Our crew knows the Mr-Glass frameless hinge line, the top-mount roller tub doors, and the pivot shower doors well enough to tell you in the first five minutes whether a repair makes sense or a full replacement is the better money. Brad Remodeling is part of the Garrison Partners family, held to The Garrison Standard since 2004. That means background-checked, uniformed technicians on every job, a written price before work starts, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on completed work. If something fails within a year, we come back and fix it at no charge. Curtis Lane built the San Jose operation on flat-rate pricing and written scope, and in Sunnyvale that discipline matters because so much of the work involves older framing and tile that fights back when you try to rush it.
We’re not a Mr-Glass authorized dealer or a manufacturer affiliate. We’re an independent remodeling and glass service contractor. That independence means we recommend what actually fits your Sunnyvale bathroom, not what a factory program tells us to push.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Sunnyvale
- Crumbled top-mount rollers on sliding tub doors. Sunnyvale’s hard water eats at the cheap nylon rollers Mr-Glass used on older tub door lines. We see this constantly in 1960s ranches around Birdland and Lakewood. The door starts dragging, then jumps the track. We replace rollers with OEM-equivalent parts from local glass suppliers, matched to the factory dimensions.
- Leaks at the bottom corner of frameless enclosures. Clay-heavy Sunnyvale soil shifts with winter rains and dry summers, and over decades that movement tilts shower pans just enough to break the sweep seal. The water finds the low corner. We level the pan, replace the sweep, and re-set the glass so the seal holds.
- Non-standard tub alcoves too narrow for standard Mr-Glass doors. Original 1950s and 1960s Sunnyvale homes often have 54-inch alcoves. Standard Mr-Glass sliding doors are built for 60-inch openings. We custom-cut panels or reframe the opening, and we’ll tell you which makes sense before you spend a dollar.
- Corroded hinge hardware on frameless shower doors. The continuous hinge on Mr-Glass frameless doors traps moisture and soap residue. In Sunnyvale bathrooms without proper venting, that hinge corrodes from the inside. We replace hinge assemblies and re-align the door so it swings true.
- Chipped or spalled glass edges from settling. As Sunnyvale’s clay soil expands and contracts, older homes shift. A glass panel that was perfectly clearanced at install can bind against tile or the curb years later. We re-cut or replace panels before the edge spalls and becomes a safety issue.
Mr-Glass Service in Sunnyvale: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
In Sunnyvale’s Birdland neighborhood, original 1960s ranch homes are frequently found with 54-inch bathtub alcoves, which are too narrow for standard Mr-Glass sliding tub doors. When converting these tubs to walk-in showers, our crews must either reframe the opening or order custom-cut glass panels, adding cost that many homeowners don’t anticipate. That one detail, a 54-inch alcove, changes the entire job. You cannot order a stock Mr-Glass door and expect it to fit. You either pay for custom glass now or pay more later when the frameless panel cracks against a jamb it was never sized for. We see it weekly. The good news is we’ve done enough of these conversions that we can quote the job accurately up front, with the custom-cut cost already on the written estimate. No surprise line item at rough-in. That’s the Bradford way, and it’s why homeowners in Sunnyvale keep our number after the first job. For broader coverage details, see our Sunnyvale service area page.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Sunnyvale
We work on the Mr-Glass frameless shower door with continuous hinge, the Mr-Glass sliding tub door with top-mount roller, the Mr-Glass pivot shower door, and the Mr-Glass fixed glass panel with support bar. When a panel is intact, we source OEM-equivalent replacement rollers, sweeps, and hinge assemblies from local glass suppliers to match factory dimensions. If the glass is chipped or the frame is bent, we recommend replacing the entire enclosure rather than chasing recurring leaks on 60-year-old bathroom walls. We stock common rollers, sweeps, and hinge parts locally for faster Sunnyvale turnaround, but most frameless panels get cut to order because the alcove dimensions here vary too much for a stocked panel to ever fit right.
Common Local Scenarios in Sunnyvale
Our crew replaced a Mr-Glass sliding tub door on a 1963 Eichler in the Birdland neighborhood after the top-mount rollers had crumbled from years of hard-water corrosion. The homeowner, who had just finished Kitchen Remodeling in Sunnyvale, didn’t want to tear into the original tile, so we custom-cut a new Mr-Glass panel with a bottom pivot assembly and installed a fixed glass return panel to fit the non-standard alcove. The job was done in one day, and the shower now seals tight without any visible metal framing.
That’s the kind of problem Sunnyvale throws at you when you work on mid-century tract housing. The original build quality is solid, but the dimensions and the materials are 60 years old. A generic glass company shows up with a tape measure and a catalog. We show up knowing that Birdland ranches were built with asbestos-cement siding and 54-inch tub alcoves, and the job has to work around both.

| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|

| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Frameless Glass Shower Enclosures | $3,000 – $8,500 |
What drives the cost in Sunnyvale is the alcove width, the condition of the original tile and substrate, and whether the pan needs re-leveling after decades of clay-soil movement. Custom-cut glass for a 54-inch opening runs more than a stock 60-inch panel, and we’ll show you that line item on the written estimate before you agree to anything. Your free estimate includes exact measurements, a written scope, and a firm price. Call (669) 272-2637 to schedule yours.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Sunnyvale
Yes, if the glass panel is intact and the track is in good shape, roller replacement is a same-day fix in most Sunnyvale homes. We source OEM-equivalent rollers matched to your door’s original factory dimensions. If the track is bent or the glass has chipped edges, we’ll tell you honestly that a full replacement will cost less in the long run. Call (669) 272-2637 for a free in-home assessment.
Often not. Standard Mr-Glass sliding tub doors are built for 60-inch alcoves, and many original 1960s Sunnyvale ranches have 54-inch openings. We’ll measure first, then tell you whether we can reframe or need to custom-cut the glass. Either way, the price is on the written estimate before work begins.
In Sunnyvale, the usual cause is a shower pan that has tilted slightly as the clay-heavy soil under the slab shifted over decades. The sweep loses contact in the low corner, and water gets out. We re-level the pan, replace the sweep, and re-set the glass. If the pan itself is cracked, we’ll recommend a full pan replacement rather than a patch that fails next wet season. Call (669) 272-2637 and we’ll diagnose it on-site.
Yes, and we do it frequently across Sunnyvale, especially in the Birdland and Lakewood neighborhoods where original tub alcoves are non-standard. The frameless door gets custom-cut to the new opening after the tub comes out and the pan goes in. As our General Contractor in Sunnyvale, we handle the full conversion, from demo through tile and glass, under one written price.
Run the bathroom exhaust fan during and after every shower, and wipe down the lower hinge and track monthly. Sunnyvale’s hard water leaves mineral deposits that accelerate corrosion on metal hardware, especially the continuous hinge on frameless doors. We also recommend a squeegee on the glass itself. If the corrosion has already set in, call (669) 272-2637 and we’ll replace the affected hardware before the glass gets damaged.
