Mr-Glass Construction in Bloomington, CA | Polaris Contractors
Polaris Contractors provides independent Mr-Glass service in Fontana and across Bloomington, CA – from framed bypass slider repairs to full frameless enclosures templated to out-of-square county-built walls. We’re not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized, which means we measure your actual opening rather than trusting a catalog spec. Bloomington’s older ranches rarely have a plumb, square wall, and that changes everything about how glass gets fitted. Call (855) 473-6535 for a free estimate.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We work on Mr-Glass repair in Rialto and on Mr-Glass shower enclosures and glass systems every week in Bloomington’s 1950s – 1970s stucco ranches, so we know how their framed sliders, pivot doors, and hardware behave after a decade of Inland Empire heat and hard water. Rick Sondermann runs Polaris Contractors, and his father was a finish carpenter who believed in doing things once and doing them right – that philosophy stuck. Rick learned construction at Saddleback College and has spent the better part of three decades building and renovating homes across Southern California. When we template a Mr-Glass enclosure for a Bloomington home, we’re fitting glass to the wall that exists, not the wall that should exist.
We stock OEM and sealed-bearing aftermarket rollers, stainless pivots, and factory-tempered glass matched to the existing frame. A slider that drags can often be re-rollered and re-sealed same-visit instead of replaced. When glass is etched through or the frame is warped, we quote a full enclosure rather than patching a unit that won’t seal. Most Bloomington jobs fall on small half-acre parcels with long-tenured families doing multi-generational remodels – we’re used to working around family schedules and tight hall baths.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
- Roller and top-rail wear on framed bypass sliders. The nylon rollers flat-spot after years of hot, dry Bloomington summers, and the door starts jumping or dragging. We swap in sealed-bearing rollers matched to the rail profile, clean the track, and re-align the hanger so the door glides properly.
- Hard-water mineral etching and calcium buildup. Inland Empire water plus splash-out in a small hall bath clouds clear glass and glides tracks fast. We restore what can be restored and know which coating failures mean replacement rather than repeated polishing.
- Pivot-hinge and wall-anchor loosening on frameless units. Where a Mr-Glass frameless enclosure was anchored into 1960s drywall or tile over unpermitted backer, a door sags and clips the jamb. We open the wall, set proper backing, and re-anchor with stainless hardware so it swings clean.
- Seal failure and mold behind the threshold on tub-shower sliders. Older Bloomington conversions were often set on a framed curb with no proper waterproofing, and the seal lets go. We pull the threshold, re-seal, and rebuild the curb when the framing is still sound.
- Mis-sized glass from a previous install or handyman job. When an enclosure was ordered to a nominal size rather than the actual opening, the door catches or leaves a gap. We template the real wall, including any out-of-plumb condition, before ordering factory-tempered panels.
Mr-Glass Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Bloomington has no city building department. Every permit for an addition, conversion, or remodel runs through San Bernardino County Land Use Services, and a heavy share of the housing stock carries unpermitted garage conversions, patio enclosures, and room additions that must be legalized before a sale or refinance. For a Mr-Glass enclosure, that means the rough opening often wasn’t framed under a city inspection, and the wall may be out of square by half an inch or more. We saw this exact situation on a multi-generational ranch home in the 92316 core, where a family was converting a hall bath inside an old unpermitted room addition. They wanted a frameless walk-in shower. Our crew templated the out-of-square wall, shimmed the curb, and set a Mr-Glass neo-angle frameless enclosure with sealed-bearing pivots – the door swings clean without clipping the jamb and the splash-out that had been staining the stucco outside is gone. This is not a scenario a catalog order handles. You measure the actual opening, or you reorder glass twice.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We service the full Mr-Glass residential range: framed bypass shower doors with anodized aluminum top rails, pivot and neo-angle frameless enclosures, sliding tub-shower glass doors, and mirror and glass panel systems. The parts decision is simple – we use OEM hardware where the frame is still true and the customer wants a factory match, and sealed-bearing aftermarket stainless or brass pivots where the original hardware failed prematurely. Stocking those common rollers and pivots locally means we can turn around most Bloomington slider repairs without waiting on a manufacturer part number. If you need Mr-Glass sales & service guidance on whether a repair or full replacement makes sense, we’ll walk through it with the enclosure in front of us.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Bloomington
Replacing an existing enclosure in the same footprint typically doesn’t require a permit from San Bernardino County Land Use Services – it’s finish work. But if the shower is part of a new addition, a garage conversion being legalized, or a plumbing reconfiguration that moves a drain or valve, the plumbing and structural scope gets permitted through the county. We’ll tell you which applies to your job before we open a wall.
Most dragging bypass doors are a roller and track problem, not a frame problem. We replace flat-spotted nylon rollers with sealed-bearing units, clean the rail, and re-align the hanger. If the frame is straight and the glass isn’t etched, that’s a repair, not a replacement. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll assess it on site.
Hard Inland Empire water deposits calcium and minerals that etch into the glass surface over time, especially on coatings that were already thin when the enclosure was installed. Light haze can sometimes be restored with a proper glass polish; deep etch is permanent and you’re better off replacing the panel rather than fighting it. We’ll tell you which situation you have before any work starts.
Yes – that’s exactly why we template before ordering. On a home built in the 1950s through 1970s, or on an unpermitted county addition, the wall may run out of plumb by half an inch or more. We measure the actual opening, shim the curb and the glass line, and order panels cut to fit. It costs more than a stock size, and it’s the only way a frameless door will swing without clipping the jamb.
We recommend waiting until the county plumbing and structural inspections clear. If the shower enclosure goes in before San Bernardino County Land Use Services signs off and the wall has to be opened for a re-inspection, you’ll pay to pull and re-set the glass. Once the rough-in passes, we’ll template, install, and seal so you’re not redoing anything. Give us a call at (855) 473-6535 to time it right.
