Mr-Glass Construction in Pomona, CA | San Bernardino Contractors
Mr-Glass service in Pomona means working on shower enclosures and closet doors inside homes that are mostly 50 to 100 years old, not the tract-new construction you find east of the 57. We’re San Bernardino Contractors, offering General Contractor in Pomona services as an independent Mr-Glass provider, and we handle everything from seized sliding door rollers to full frameless enclosure replacements across the 91766, 91767, 91769, and 91797 ZIP codes. Ruben Castillo runs our crew, and he’ll tell you straight: older Pomona houses hide older problems behind the glass. Call (855) 473-5620 and we’ll come take a look.
Why Pomona Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass built the shower door business, and their older sliding and frameless units are what we see most in Pomona’s pre-1970s bungalows and ranch homes. We know the track profiles, roller generations, and glass tolerances from the 1980s units to current production. We are not an authorized Mr-Glass dealer. We’re an independent service provider, which means we can repair what’s on the wall instead of pushing a full replacement when a new roller set gets it sliding again. Ruben grew up watching his uncle reroof houses and frame garages in San Bernardino’s Westside, then went through construction technology training at San Bernardino Valley College. The lesson stuck: if it’s not built right the first time, you’re just paying for it twice. In Pomona, that means checking what’s behind the glass before we touch the glass. Mr-Glass sales & service is something we do daily, and our Pomona customers get the same OEM-compatible parts approach we use across the Inland Empire.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Pomona
These are the failures we walk into on Pomona job sites. Each one connects to something specific about this city’s housing or climate.
- Seized bottom rollers on older sliding shower doors. Pomona’s water is hard, and after a decade of mineral scale building up in the bottom track of a Mr-Glass sliding unit, the rollers bind. The door starts scraping the aluminum track or jumps it completely. We pull the door, clean or replace the roller assembly, and re-align the track so it glides instead of grinding.
- Baked-out vinyl sweeps and seals. Pomona gets Santa Ana wind events and dry inland-valley heat that will harden the original vinyl sweep on a Mr-Glass frameless or sliding door until it cracks. Water escapes at the door bottom every time you shower. We replace the sweep and check the track for heat-related distortion.
- Non-tempered or unstamped glass on 1970s-90s units. Houses in Pomona’s mid-century rehab projects often still have builder-grade Mr-Glass doors with glazing that lacks a current safety stamp. Code requires tempered glass in shower enclosures. We verify every pane, and if it isn’t stamped, we replace it.
- Failed silicone and caulk over stucco walls. Pomona gets rare but heavy rain, and when old caulk around an enclosure fails on a stucco wall, water wicks into the framing. We find stained drywall and rusted fasteners behind the door frame. The fix involves more than re-caulking; we open the wall, dry it, and repair before re-sealing.
- Out-of-plumb walls and drifted openings. Pomona’s older homes settle. A wall that has drifted out of plumb will never hold a frameless glass panel properly. Before we set a new Mr-Glass enclosure, we square and re-block the opening. Skipping that step is how you get cracked glass and leaky corners.
Mr-Glass Service in Pomona: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s what a generic Mr-Glass or Pomona page won’t tell you. Houses in the older neighborhoods flanking downtown Pomona have a long history of unpermitted room additions and converted garages. When we cut into a bathroom wall to set a new Mr-Glass shower enclosure or do a Pomona service area remodel, we often uncover plumbing and framing that the city never signed off on. That means before the glass goes in, the unpermitted work has to be legalized with Pomona’s building department. It’s a pre-1970 inspection reality that tract-new Inland Empire cities to the east don’t deal with. A project that starts as a simple tub-to-shower conversion can turn into a permit correction, and the homeowner needs to know that going in. We handle the paperwork with the city, but we don’t pretend the process doesn’t add time and cost. On a mid-century ranch house off the older blocks near downtown, our crew pulled a rusted-out original sliding Mr-Glass door with seized rollers and a vinyl sweep baked hard by inland-valley heat. We re-blocked and squared the tiled opening, corrected a wall that had drifted out of plumb, and set a new frameless enclosure with tempered glass and fresh OEM-style hardware, then re-sealed the stucco-side wall where old caulk had been letting water into the drywall. That’s what Pomona work actually looks like.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Pomona
We service Mr-Glass frameless glass shower enclosures, neo-angle corner shower enclosures, sliding glass shower doors, and the mirror and sliding closet door lines. For hardware, we source genuine Mr-Glass-style OEM rollers, hinges, handles, and track when the door’s age and configuration support it. When OEM parts are discontinued or the frame needs re-sizing, we use quality aftermarket glass and seals that meet code. We tell you honestly when a full enclosure replacement beats chasing obsolete parts. On pre-1990 sliding units, that call is pretty common. We keep common roller assemblies and seal profiles available for fast turnaround across Pomona, and anything specialized we order in before we open the wall.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Pomona
Actual prices in Pomona depend on what’s behind the wall, not just the glass. We give line-item, written estimates before any work starts, and we don’t do change-order games. Here’s what you’re likely looking at:
| 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 moves the cost on a Pomona job is the age of the house. Pre-1970s framing that has drifted out of square costs more to re-block. Unpermitted additions that need legalizing add permit fees and inspection time. A newer home on the east side of Pomona with clean framing and no surprises will land at the lower end. Call (855) 473-5620 for a free estimate that accounts for your actual house, not an average.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Pomona
Yes. We source genuine Mr-Glass-style OEM rollers, hinges, handles, and track where the door’s age allows it. If OEM stock is discontinued, we use quality aftermarket hardware that fits the original track profile. On pre-1990 sliding units, we’ll tell you honestly if a full replacement makes more sense than chasing obsolete parts. Call (855) 473-5620 and we’ll look at what’s on your wall.
Yes, it’s a code problem and a safety problem. Shower enclosure glass must be tempered, and in Pomona, building inspectors will flag unstamped or non-tempered glazing when any plumbing or framing work is opened up. If we find original builder-grade Mr-Glass glass without a current stamp, we replace it with tempered panels before finishing the job. That’s not optional. Call (855) 473-5620 to have yours checked.
Pomona’s dry summers and Santa Ana heat events bake the vinyl sweeps and seals on Mr-Glass enclosures until they harden and crack, something we also see on Mr-Glass repair in Montclair calls. Meanwhile, the hard mineral content in Pomona water builds scale inside the track and on the rollers, which is why sliding doors start seizing. We replace sweeps, clean or replace rollers, and re-align track hardware to handle both conditions. If your door scrapes or leaks at the bottom, call (855) 473-5620 for an estimate.
More often than people expect. Pomona’s older neighborhoods have decades of converted garages and unpermitted room additions, and when we open a bath wall to set a new enclosure, we regularly find plumbing and framing the city never approved. That work has to be legalized with Pomona’s building department before we can finish the enclosure. We handle the permit process with the city and keep you informed on timing and cost. Call (855) 473-5620 if you suspect your house has unpermitted work and you want a straight answer.
Yes, and it’s one of the most common projects we do in Pomona’s pre-1970s homes. We remove the old tub, re-frame as needed, waterproof the new shower pan, and set a Mr-Glass frameless or sliding enclosure with tempered glass. The price range for a tub-to-shower conversion in Pomona is $3,500 to $10,000, depending on what we find behind the old tub. Call (855) 473-5620 for a free estimate on yours.
