Mr-Glass Construction in Irvine, CA | Mason Remodeling
We’re an independent Mr-Glass construction and service crew working across Irvine, CA. We install, repair, and replace Mr-Glass shower enclosures, frameless doors, mirrors, and custom glass, and we know how these systems fail in Irvine’s specific housing stock and coastal Orange County climate. If you need straight answers and a written price before any work starts, call (803) 680-2547.
Our Mr-Glass experience comes from years in the field, not from any manufacturer authorization. We see the same hinge corrosion, seal failure, and hard-water etching issues throughout Irvine, from Woodbridge to Northwood, and we’ve learned what fixes them for good. That local knowledge means you get a repair that holds up, not just a patch that lasts six months. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free estimate.
Why Irvine Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We know Mr-Glass product lines the way a mechanic knows an engine block. The Frameless Shower Door series, the Semi-Frameless Enclosure line, the beveled mirror kits, the custom shelving systems. We repair them all. We source OEM Mr-Glass hinges, seals, and handles when they’re available and priced sanely. When a part is discontinued or the OEM price is inflated, we switch to high-quality aftermarket hardware that matches the fit and finish. Either way, you know what you’re paying before we start.
Isaac Pruett, our owner, has spent nearly two decades as a General Contractor in Irvine and across Southern California. He learned finish work at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and grew up watching his dad, a finish carpenter, reject sloppy trim on sight. That standard carries into every Mr-Glass install we do in Irvine. We check the plumb, the sweep, the hinge tension, and the silicone bead before we call a job done. “Know who’s coming, know what it costs, know it’s backed up, everything else is just noise.” That’s how we operate.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Irvine
- Hard-water etching and mineral spotting on frameless shower doors. Irvine water leans hard, and Mr-Glass frameless panels show every mineral deposit. Doors that skip regular squeegeeing develop a cloudy film that ordinary cleaners won’t touch. We restore what’s restorable and replace glass that’s too far gone.
- Corroded hinges and handles on Mr-Glass enclosures. Coastal humidity plus daily steam eats at chrome and brushed nickel hardware faster here than inland. We’ve replaced seized hinges on Mr-Glass semi-frameless doors throughout Irvine where the metal had pitted through. If it’s surface corrosion, we can often replace the hardware and keep the glass.
- Sagging or misaligned Mr-Glass doors from shifting walls. Parts of Irvine sit on expansive clay soil. Walls move, door frames shift, and glass doors that once closed square start dragging or swinging open on their own. We re-align, replace worn hinges, and sometimes re-shim the frame to match the wall’s new reality.
- Bottom sweep and magnetic seal failure. The vinyl sweep and magnetic closure strips on Mr-Glass enclosures wear down, crack, or lose their seal over time. Water ends up pooling on the bathroom floor. We replace those seals with proper OEM or aftermarket components and set the door so it closes tight again.
- Chipped edges and stress cracks. A chip at the edge of a Mr-Glass panel can turn into a crack that travels. Safety glazing doesn’t shatter like regular glass, but a cracked panel still needs replacement. We measure, source tempered glass, and install to Irvine’s code without a fuss.
Mr-Glass Service in Irvine: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s a fact most Irvine homeowners only learn during Bathroom Remodeling in Irvine: Irvine’s municipal building code requires shatter-resistant safety glazing in every shower enclosure and bathroom partition. That means any Mr-Glass shower door replacement must use tempered or laminated glass meeting ANSI Z97.1 standards. We’ve had homeowners near Woodbridge call us halfway through a DIY project after learning this, holding a non-compliant glass panel they bought online. It catches people off guard every time. We handle the code side so you don’t have to. When we replace a Mr-Glass shower door in Irvine, the glass is tempered, the hardware is rated for wet environments, and the work passes inspection. No guesswork.
That same Woodbridge job was typical of what we see in Irvine’s older neighborhoods. The original Mr-Glass semi-frameless enclosure had seized hinges from years of hard-water exposure and coastal humidity. The homeowner tried cleaning the corrosion off; it didn’t matter. We replaced the whole panel with a 3/8-inch tempered frameless unit and brushed nickel hardware, then ran a premium silicone bead around the frame. Water containment improved immediately. The cleaner look was a bonus.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Irvine
We work on the full Mr-Glass line you’re likely to find in Irvine homes. The Frameless Shower Door series, both the 3/8-inch and 1/2-inch clear glass options, with standard or custom hardware. The Semi-Frameless Shower Enclosure line, usually in chrome or brushed nickel trim. Mr-Glass Mirrors and Mirror Framing kits, including beveled and polished-edge styles. And Mr-Glass Custom Glass Shelving and Partition systems for kitchens and bathrooms. For fast Irvine turnaround, we keep common seals, sweeps, hinges, and mounting hardware on hand. When a part is discontinued by the manufacturer, we have aftermarket sources that hold the same dimensions and finish. If your glass is intact and only the hardware is worn, we repair. If the glass is scratched, chipped, or the frame is corroded through, we say so and recommend replacement. You’ll get a written quote either way.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Irvine
In most cases, yes. Irvine’s building code treats shower enclosures as glazing work that requires safety-rated glass meeting ANSI Z97.1 standards. A simple hardware swap on an existing compliant door usually doesn’t need a permit, but replacing the glass panel or changing the enclosure’s footprint often does. We pull permits on every job that needs one and handle the inspection. Call (803) 680-2547 and we’ll tell you what your specific project requires.
Start with a 50/50 mix of white vinegar and water in a spray bottle, let it sit on the glass for ten minutes, then scrub with a non-abrasive pad. For heavier buildup, a glass-polishing compound works, but don’t use abrasive cleansers or steel wool, they’ll micro-scratch the surface and make future staining worse. If the etching has set in, the glass may need professional restoration or replacement. We can assess it in person.
Usually not safely. A small chip on a mirror edge can sometimes be buffed and covered by a frame, but on a shower panel, any edge damage is a stress point that can crack later. Because Irvine code requires safety glazing, we generally recommend replacing a chipped shower panel with new tempered glass. We’ll show you the damage and explain your options before you spend a dollar. Call (803) 680-2547 for a free assessment.
Most Mr-Glass shower enclosure replacements in Irvine take two to three weeks from measure to finish.
