AfterMr-Glass Construction in San Antonio, CA | Rowan Construction Group
We provide independent Mr-Glass shower enclosure and tub door service across San Antonio, from Stone Oak to the westside. Unlike a generic glass shop, we understand how Mr-Glass framed and frameless systems behave when the ground beneath them moves, which matters on San Antonio’s split geology of expansive clay and shallow limestone. If you need a Mr-Glass enclosure installed, repaired, or re-anchored, call (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate with a written price before any work starts.
Why San Antonio Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve rebuilt and installed Mr-Glass shower enclosures, tub doors, and specialty glass across San Antonio’s split soil zones, from Stone Oak limestone anchors to westside pier-and-beam remodels. That range of experience means we know how framed versus frameless Mr-Glass systems behave when a slab shifts or a pier settles. Grant Rowan, our owner, trained in construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College before spending two decades on residential structural work, so when we open a wall to fix a Mr-Glass hinge, we’re also looking at what the framing behind it is doing. Under Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, your Mr-Glass work gets a written price and scope before anyone picks up a tool. We carry Mr-Glass OEM rollers, hinges, and seals for common models, and we stock machined aftermarket parts locally for discontinued trim. Our crews are background-checked and uniformed, and a live person answers calls 24/7.
Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in San Antonio
- Binding frameless panels on shifting slabs. San Antonio’s expansive clay shrinks during drought and swells after rain, moving post-tension slabs enough to throw shower openings out of square. Mr-Glass frameless panels then bind at the hinges and leave uneven gaps at strike edges. We re-plumb the opening and re-hang the glass.
- Edwards Aquifer hard water etching and weep hole clogging. San Antonio water is hard, and it etches Mr-Glass clear glass faster than most homeowners expect. Framed bottom tracks collect mineral deposits that clog weep holes within months. We clean, reseal, and replace tracks when pitting has gone too far.
- Hinges tearing loose on pier-and-beam homes. On older westside and near-southside bungalows, wall-mounted Mr-Glass hinges pull free when studs behind the tile aren’t sistered or blocked. We open the wall, add blocking, and re-anchor the hardware properly.
- Bypass tub door rollers seizing from grit and humidity. San Antonio’s flash-flood-to-drought swings put grit and moisture into Mr-Glass bypass tracks. Rollers seize, doors jump the rail. We replace rollers with OEM units and adjust the track so the door runs clean.
- Out-of-square custom neo-angle units. Mr-Glass Custom Neo-Angle Shower Units are unforgiving when corners aren’t true. On 1970s-90s production-built slab homes north and east of downtown, we regularly find corners off by a quarter inch or more, which is enough to crack glass during install if not corrected first.
BeforeAfterMr-Glass Service in San Antonio: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Any Mr-Glass enclosure installed in a bathroom being added or remodeled north of Loop 1604 may fall within the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone. That’s not a minor detail. SAWS enforces strict impervious-cover and drainage rules across the recharge zone, which force compact bathroom footprints and often curbless shower layouts. A curbless design reorders where a Mr-Glass frameless panel can be anchored, because the glass can’t sit where plumbing or code setbacks require clearance. We’ve worked through this exact constraint on additions north of Loop 1604, including projects in Stone Oak where the slab sits on limestone just two to four feet below grade. The limestone is stable, which is good for glass anchoring, but the recharge-zone rules dictate geometry, and geometry dictates glass placement. Out-of-town crews who’ve never dealt with SAWS drainage requirements get this wrong and discover it at inspection. Measure twice, say it once, show your work.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in San Antonio
We service the full Mr-Glass lineup: Frameless Shower Enclosures, Semi-Frameless Bypass Tub Doors, Framed Sliding Shower Doors, and Custom Neo-Angle Shower Units. For existing enclosures, we use Mr-Glass OEM rollers, hinges, and seals when available to preserve factory fit and finish. When Mr-Glass has discontinued a trim piece or clip, we source quality machined aftermarket parts from local San Antonio glass suppliers rather than forcing a full replacement. We only recommend replacing a full enclosure when glass etching, track pitting, or frame corrosion makes repair cost-prohibitive. For new installations across San Antonio, we keep the most common Mr-Glass hardware profiles in stock, which shortens turnaround on repairs. For broader Mr-Glass product questions, see our Mr-Glass sales & service page.

FAQs - Mr-Glass Construction in San Antonio
Because the expansive clay beneath many northside post-tension slabs moves seasonally as San Antonio cycles through drought and rain, throwing openings a few fractions of an inch out of square. A Mr-Glass frameless panel has almost no tolerance for that movement. We correct the opening with shims and re-plumbed hardware so the hinge stops binding. Call (470) 298-9650 and we’ll inspect your enclosure and give you a written repair scope.
Sometimes, but on pier-and-beam homes we usually recommend new OEM Mr-Glass rollers and track. The old hardware has been sitting in a humid San Antonio bathroom on a structure that settles gradually, and reusing worn rollers on a fresh walk-in shower risks the same jump-the-rail failure later. We’ll tell you honestly what can be reused and what should be replaced. Call (470) 298-9650 for a free estimate.
No, the limestone is actually a benefit. Stone Oak homes sit on solid Edwards limestone just below grade, which means the slab doesn’t move like the clay zones to the south and east. Mr-Glass anchoring in Stone Oak is more stable than almost anywhere else in San Antonio. The bigger design constraint in Stone Oak is recharge-zone drainage rules, not the rock itself.
They can shrink your bathroom footprint and push you toward a curbless layout, which affects Driveway & Pavers - San Antonio drainage planning too. North of Loop 1604, additions in the Edwards Aquifer Recharge Zone face impervious-cover caps and drainage requirements that limit how much hard surface you can add. A curbless Mr-Glass walk-in shower often satisfies the drainage review better than a curbed one, but it changes where the glass panel can be anchored. We plan around this from the first measurement.
Most Mr-Glass frameless replacement jobs in the Vance Jackson area run between $4,500 and $12,000, depending on glass size and whether the opening needs correction first. Mid-century slab homes near Vance Jackson often have accumulated slab movement from expansive clay, so plan for possible opening re-plumbing in the quote.
