Mr-Glass Construction in Mount Hermon, CA | Brookside Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass shower enclosure, mirror, and glass installation and repair across Mount Hermon, from the conference lodges off Conference Drive to the cabins tucked into the hillside. For nearby communities, we also offer Mr-Glass repair in Scotts Valley. The thing that sets our Mr-Glass work here apart is simple: we template every opening on site and account for the damp, out-of-square wood framing that defines Mount Hermon construction. When you call (833) 725-3508, you’re reaching a crew that’s worked on these exact cabins, not a call center reading a script.
Brookside Contractors handles Mr-Glass sales & service with a full construction scope behind it. That matters in Mount Hermon, where a leaking shower enclosure usually means rot repair, reframing, or drainage work before new glass goes in. We’re licensed general contractors, so we fix the wall, then hang the glass. One crew, one point of accountability.
Why Mount Hermon Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve spent years servicing Mr-Glass frameless hinged enclosures, semi-frameless bypass doors, framed tub/shower units, and custom mirror glass in Mount Hermon’s redwood and cedar cabins. That experience means we know what fails here before we open the wall. Fog and winter rain keep headers and jambs damp. Hinges pull loose. Rollers bind. Glass clouds and caulk fails. We show up already knowing what we’re likely to find.
Nate Burrell, who leads Brookside Contractors, trained in construction technology at Gavilan College and has spent the better part of two decades on job sites throughout South Santa Clara County, including Mr-Glass in Ben Lomond. He’s the kind of contractor who will tell you straight when a $200 aftermarket hinge is the right call and when a full reframe is the only honest fix. We use genuine Mr-Glass hardware and glass where it’s still available, and we specify quality aftermarket hinges, seals, and rollers when it isn’t, matched to the original profile. No forced specs, no pushing whatever one supplier gave us a deal on.
And when we say we serve Mount Hermon service area, we mean the whole of it, including the narrow lanes and steep lots where equipment simply can’t go. We hand-carry glass panels and frame hardware down footpaths when the truck can’t get closer than the road. That’s not a special service here. It’s the normal service.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Mount Hermon
- Sagging doors and frames pulling out of the wall. Mount Hermon’s foggy, damp winters keep the redwood and cedar studs behind shower enclosures soft and swollen. We regularly see Mr-Glass header jambs that looked fine from the outside but had lost their bite in the framing. We re-secure onto solid wood, replace what’s rotted, and re-hang plumb.
- Clouded glass and failing caulk. Hard water and constant humidity in Mount Hermon break down seals and leave coated glass looking permanently fogged. If the unit is sound, we re-seal with neutral-cure silicone and restore what we can. If the coating is gone, we replace the panel rather than polish a losing battle.
- Leaks at the sill from out-of-square openings. Older Mount Hermon cabins were rarely framed square, and floors settle over time. Stock Mr-Glass enclosures don’t plumb up cleanly in that situation, which is why we template and cut on site instead of trusting factory dimensions. Sills get slope-checked so water sheds away from the wood.
- Corroded hinges and rollers. High moisture plus the seasonal movement of wood-framed openings means hardware takes a beating. We replace worn rollers and hinges with matched-profile parts, lubricate what’s serviceable, and realign doors so they stop dragging.
- Enclosures installed wrong in the first place. We’ve pulled out clouded, leaking Mr-Glass units in Mount Hermon where the original install ignored slope, flashing, and wood condition. The glass was fine. The surrounding work wasn’t. We fix the opening, then set the enclosure so it actually sheds water.
Mr-Glass Service in Mount Hermon: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Almost every Mount Hermon property sits under a redwood canopy on a steep, foggy lot reached by narrow private lanes. That shapes Mr-Glass work here in ways you won’t see in Santa Cruz or Felton. Panels have to be templated and hand-carried down or up stairs. Enclosures fail faster because the surrounding wood framing stays damp and out of square. The canopy keeps sunlight off exteriors for months at a time, so anything that got wet in January is still wet in April. That means hinge-side studs swell, door headers drift, and a shower that drained fine in October starts pooling at the sill by March. On a lodge bathroom in the Mount Hermon conference grounds, our crew tore out a clouded, leaking Mr-Glass frameless enclosure whose hinge-side studs had swollen and softened from years of fog and rain. Because the canopy and narrow lane kept a truck from reaching the building, we templated the opening on site, hand-carried the new low-iron glass and frame hardware down the path, and set a plumb, properly flashed unit on repaired framing. We finished with fresh neutral-cure silicone and a slope-checked sill so water sheds instead of wicking into the wood. That’s the difference between a glass installer and a contractor who understands this specific forested community.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Mount Hermon
We service the full Mr-Glass lineup commonly found in Mount Hermon: frameless hinged shower enclosures from the Mr-Glass frameless series, semi-frameless bypass sliding shower doors, framed sliding tub/shower door units, and custom-cut mirror and vanity glass. Our parts approach is practical. Genuine Mr-Glass hardware and glass get used when available. When a hinge or roller has been discontinued, we match the original profile with a quality aftermarket part that fits the existing holes and geometry. We stock common seals, rollers, and hardware profiles for faster turnaround on Mount Hermon jobs, and we cut glass locally rather than waiting on freight. If your enclosure is a discontinued model, we’ll tell you up front what’s repairable and what needs adapting.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Mount Hermon
Yes, but only if it’s templated and cut to the actual opening, not ordered off stock dimensions. Most older Mount Hermon cabins are out of square and out of level. We measure the full opening, account for foundation settlement, and order or cut glass to fit what’s actually there. That prevents the sill leaks and binding doors you get when a stock unit is forced into a crooked opening.
Mount Hermon’s fog, heavy winter rain, and dense canopy keep bathroom surfaces damp longer than they would be in a drier part of the county. Hard water minerals etch coated glass, and constant humidity breaks down caulk and seals. We use neutral-cure silicone and proper ventilation recommendations, and when the coating is too far gone we replace the panel rather than guarantee a losing repair.
Yes. We plan for it from the first site visit. If a truck can’t reach the building, we hand-carry templated glass and frame hardware down the path. That’s standard practice for us in Mount Hermon, not an extra charge. We’ll tell you before we start exactly how materials get from the road to the bathroom.
It depends on what’s behind the frame. If the glass and hardware are sound and the wall framing is solid, we re-secure, re-align, and re-seal. If the studs are soft with rot, re-hanging onto bad wood is a future repair bill. We’d rather replace the framing and set the enclosure once than patch it and come back. Call (833) 725-3508 and we’ll open the wall only as far as we need to give you an honest answer.
We handle the whole opening. Brookside Contractors is a General Contractor in Mount Hermon, so structural repair, waterproofing, tile, drain work, and glass all happen under one crew and one schedule. You don’t coordinate a separate framer and tile setter and glass installer. We own the whole thing from rotten studs to final silicone.
