Mr-Glass Construction in Cupertino, CA | Milpitas Construction
We’re Milpitas Construction, and we provide independent Mr-Glass shower enclosure, mirror, and glass panel service across Cupertino’s 95014 and 95015 ZIP codes. The thing that separates our Mr-Glass work here from anyone else’s is simple: we understand how mid-century Cupertino homes actually behave, from the radiant slabs under your feet to the tree ordinances over your roofline. Call (877) 752-4194 for a straight answer on your glass project.
Why Cupertino Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
When you live in a 1950s rancher or an Eichler, your shower glass isn’t going into a clean, square, modern opening. It’s going into a house that has settled, shifted, and been remodeled by people who sometimes guessed. Ken Stafford, our owner, grew up around Milpitas and has spent two-plus decades on Bay Area remodels and rebuilds, including Mr-Glass in Sunnyvale, so he’s seen what happens when glass gets hung on framing that was never blocked for the load. That’s why we spec our work for the house you actually have, not the house in the product catalog.
We carry OEM Mr-Glass hinges, handles, sweeps, and seals when the spec calls for them, and we stock equivalent-quality aftermarket hardware for the times OEM is discontinued or slower than your schedule allows. You’ll never sit through a three-week parts wait without knowing your options. And because we’re a full-scope general contractor with access to 50+ brand-name product lines, we can handle the plumbing, tile, and framing work that almost always accompanies Mr-Glass glass on a Cupertino remodel. For more on how we approach the brand, see our Mr-Glass sales & service page.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Cupertino
- Hinge sag on heavy 3/8-inch glass doors. Frameless Mr-Glass doors are heavy, and on many 1950s-1970s ranchers in Cupertino the wall framing behind the tile was never blocked for that weight. The hinge screws bite into drywall or hollow studs, the door sags, and the strike jamb starts binding. We re-block the framing, remount the hinges, and re-square the panel so the door closes clean.
- U-channel and pivot hardware corrosion. Cupertino’s mild climate keeps construction running year-round, but the winter humidity and slab-level moisture that sit against shower glass take a toll on unsealed hardware. We see corroded channels and seized pivots routinely. We replace with OEM or equivalent-quality hardware and set it so water doesn’t pool against the metal.
- Silicone and sweep-seal failure at the curb. Low-pitch Eichler bathrooms have tight drainage, and when a Mr-Glass sweep fails, water tracks under the glass and onto the original radiant-slab tile. By the time you notice the stain, the silicone has usually failed too. We strip, reseal, and reset the sweep with a properly pitched curb so water moves toward the drain, not into the room.
- Out-of-square rough openings causing panel gaps. Original 1950s openings in Cupertino are rarely square. Mr-Glass panels cut to a template from a square spec end up gapped at the strike jamb or bound at the hinge side. We measure the actual opening, order or adjust the glass to fit it, and shim or re-square the opening where the framing allows.
- Slab-level moisture wicking under radiant floors. On Eichler-style homes, the radiant heating is embedded in the slab, and any glass anchor or curb drilled into that slab has to work around in-slab tubing. We don’t drill blind. We locate and avoid the tubing, then set the anchors so the enclosure stays solid without compromising the heating system.
Mr-Glass Service in Cupertino: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Most Cupertino rebuilds and major remodels happen on Eichler-style and low-pitch homes where the original radiant heating is embedded in the slab. That’s not a footnote; it’s the single biggest constraint on bathroom glass and tile work in this city. Any Mr-Glass enclosure, curb, or glass panel anchor that needs drilling into the floor has to account for in-slab tubing before a single hole is bored. Get it wrong, and you puncture a heating loop. Repairs on a radiant slab are expensive and disruptive. Add the mature redwoods and oaks on those same large lots, and Cupertino’s tree-protection review becomes a scheduling reality before foundation or demo work begins. In places like the neighborhoods off McClellan Road where the old oaks press right up against the house, we sequence glass and tile work around the city’s tree review so the project doesn’t stall. That’s the kind of local knowledge a generic Mr-Glass page or a generic Cupertino contractor won’t give you, because they don’t know to look for it.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Cupertino
We install and repair the full Mr-Glass residential glass line, including frameless glass shower enclosures from the Mr-Glass custom fab line, semi-frameless sliding shower doors, custom-cut mirror and glass panel products, and Mr-Glass tub-to-shower conversion glass kits. When we quote a repair, we tell you straight whether matching OEM hinges, handles, sweeps, and seals makes sense or whether an equivalent-quality aftermarket part will do the job for less. Our approach on parts is simple: OEM where it matters, aftermarket where it doesn’t, and we’ll explain the difference so you can make the call. Most common hardware is stocked locally or available within a few days, which keeps Cupertino turnarounds short.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Cupertino
Here’s what we charge for the most common Mr-Glass scopes in Cupertino. These are fixed line-item ranges, not placeholders.
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Bathroom Vanity Installation | $800 – $3,000 |
What drives the cost is usually the condition of the rough opening and the slab. An out-of-square 1950s opening takes more re-framing and shimming than a modern one. Radiant-slab avoidance takes more time than a standard foundation. A free estimate means we come out, measure, check the slab and framing, and give you a written line-item quote before any work starts. Call (877) 752-4194 to schedule one.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Cupertino
Aftermarket parts work fine in many cases, especially for sweeps, seals, and handles where the original Mr-Glass hardware has been discontinued or is too slow to source. We match OEM Mr-Glass hinges and pivots when the spec calls for it, but for a Cupertino rancher where the hinge has corroded and the rough opening is out of square, an equivalent-quality aftermarket hinge usually performs just as well at a better price. For a fair comparison on your repair, call (877) 752-4194.
Typical repair visits are half a day to a full day, depending on whether we’re re-blocking framing or just re-sealing and re-hanging. Full custom enclosures usually take one to two weeks from template to install, since the Mr-Glass custom fab panels have to be cut. For Mr-Glass service in Saratoga or Cupertino, tree-protection review on certain lots can add a few days before any demo or foundation work, and we’ll sequence that into your schedule from the start.
No, and we say that up front because it matters. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not authorized, sponsored, or endorsed by the manufacturer. The difference is that we’re not bound to a manufacturer’s service menu; we spec OEM where it’s right and equivalent-quality aftermarket where it makes more sense for your home and budget.
We handle the full residential Mr-Glass line: frameless glass shower enclosures, semi-frameless sliding shower doors, custom-cut mirror and glass panels, and tub-to-shower conversion glass kits. If it’s Mr-Glass glass and it’s in a Cupertino house—or you need Mr-Glass repair in Los Altos—we can usually diagnose and quote it same day.
Frameless Mr-Glass enclosures in Cupertino typically run $4,500 to $12,000. The spread depends on panel size, glass thickness, hardware grade, and how much re-framing or slab work your specific house needs. To get an exact written quote for your bathroom, call (877) 752-4194 and we’ll schedule a free estimate.
