Mr-Glass Construction in Running Springs, CA | Polaris Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass shower door and glass enclosure service throughout Running Springs from our crew at Polaris Contractors. What sets our Mr-Glass work apart here is planning around mountain reality: narrow access roads, settling pier-and-post cabins, and snow-season moisture all shape how glass gets measured, delivered, and set. Call us at (855) 473-6535 and we’ll tell you honestly whether your enclosure is worth repairing or replacing.
Why Running Springs Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve installed and worked around Mr-Glass frameless doors, bypass sliders, and neo-angle enclosures in mountain cabins across the San Bernardino range for years, including Mr-Glass repair in Crestline and nearby communities. That time on the ground means we know how Mr-Glass hardware behaves when a cabin’s walls aren’t plumb and the temperature swings from snow to summer sun. We match OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, and sweep seals when the model is still supported, and we use quality aftermarket stainless hardware when it isn’t. We’re not a manufacturer dealer or authorized service center. We’re an independent general contractor, and Rick Sondermann has spent three decades building and renovating homes in California’s tougher terrain. He started with finish carpentry lessons from his father and the rule that still guides us: do it right the first time – the second time always costs more. Running Springs homeowners get straightforward advice on whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the smarter spend.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Running Springs
Mountain conditions create specific failure patterns we see again and again in Running Springs cabins:
- Slider doors that jump or drag. Older Running Springs cabins on pier-and-post foundations settle and shift seasonally. Out-of-plumb walls grind the roller track on Mr-Glass bypass doors, so the panels bind, jump the track, or scrape the curb. We realign the track to the wall as it actually sits, not where it was when the home was built.
- Leaks at the curb and wall. Freeze-thaw cycles and high-altitude humidity swings shrink gaskets and crack the glass-to-wall sealant on Mr-Glass enclosures. Water seeps into the framing of an old cabin, and by spring you’ve got rot behind the tile. Fresh seals and a properly bedded curb stop that.
- Chipped glass edges on frameless panels. Seasonal house movement racks the opening, and when a Mr-Glass panel contacts the strike jamb, the tempered edge chips. A chipped panel is a safety issue, not just a cosmetic one.
- Mineral spotting and etched coatings. Vacation homes that sit cold and dry between visits develop hard-water spotting on older Mr-Glass glass and chrome hardware. The coating degrades, the finish dulls, and simple cleaning won’t bring it back.
- Obsolete hardware on older Mr-Glass enclosures. Twenty-year-old enclosures often need rollers or hinges that are no longer made. We’ll tell you when chasing obsolete parts costs almost as much as a re-fit, and let you decide with real numbers in front of you.
Mr-Glass Service in Running Springs: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Running Springs sits at roughly 6,000 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains. Snow loads, freeze-thaw, and wildfire-defensible-space rules shape every construction decision here, including glass shower enclosures. But the detail that catches most people off guard is this: many Running Springs lots are steep and reachable only by narrow, winding mountain roads, so a glass shower enclosure can’t just arrive on a standard delivery truck. We template and order Mr-Glass panels sized to what our truck and crew can actually carry and maneuver into a hillside cabin, then set them in one trip before the compressed construction season closes, just as we do for Mr-Glass service in Lake Arrowhead and other mountain towns. A frameless panel that works fine in a flatland tract home may not make the turn into a 1920s-1970s cabin’s bathroom. We measure around that reality, not in spite of it.
On a mid-century chalet up in the Running Springs hills, a remodel client wanted an open walk-in shower, so we templated a frameless Mr-Glass enclosure to the slightly out-of-plumb opening, brought the panels up the winding access road in one staged trip, and set the glass with fresh stainless hinges and a new curb seal. The door now swings clean without dragging. We sized the glass and hardware for the seasonal movement that pier-and-post foundations here produce, so the enclosure stays watertight through the snow season instead of weeping at the curb.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Running Springs
Our crews work on Mr-Glass frameless hinged shower doors with 3/8-inch tempered glass, semi-frameless sliding bypass doors, neo-angle corner enclosures, and custom-cut glass panels and mirrors for mountain remodels. For supported models, we spec OEM Mr-Glass hinges, rollers, and seals. For discontinued hardware, we switch to aftermarket stainless components that hold up to high-altitude humidity. Because we stock common roller kits, sweep seals, and stainless hinge sets, most Running Springs service calls don’t wait on parts. Frameless glass enclosures, walk-in shower installation, and full shower remodeling are the bulk of what we do with the Mr-Glass line up here.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Running Springs
Shower enclosure work in Running Springs costs what it costs because of what has to happen before the glass goes in. Plumbing might need to shift, a curb gets rebuilt, tile gets patched at the wall, and the panels have to survive a mountain road. Here’s where Mr-Glass projects typically land:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Walk-In Shower Installation | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion | $3,500 – $10,000 |
| Bathroom Remodel | $9,000 – $28,000 |
What moves the number: whether we’re working with an existing pan or rebuilding it, whether the walls are plumb enough for frameless glass, and whether your cabin’s plumbing is original. Every estimate includes the full scope in writing before any work starts. Call (855) 473-6535 for exact pricing on your enclosure.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Running Springs
Will a standard frameless Mr-Glass enclosure work in my older Running Springs cabin with sloped or settling walls? Sometimes, but not always. If the walls are out of plumb by more than what the hinge adjustment allows, a standard frameless panel won’t sit square and the door will bind or leak. We template to the opening as it actually is, and where movement is severe, we may recommend a semi-frameless bypass or a custom-cut panel instead. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll measure it and tell you straight.
How do you get glass shower panels up a narrow mountain road to a hillside lot? We stage the delivery. Panels get templated and cut to sizes our truck can carry on Running Springs roads, then hauled up in one trip with the hardware and sealant needed to set them the same day. No flatbed delivery that can’t make the turn. If the road won’t take a large panel, we plan for it before ordering, not after.
Why is my Mr-Glass sliding shower door suddenly hard to open? Usually the cabin settled. Pier-and-post foundations in Running Springs move with freeze-thaw cycles, and when the wall shifts, the track binds and the door drags or jumps. It can also be worn rollers or a bent track from previous forcing. We’ll identify which it is and fix it at the source rather than lubing a roller and hoping. Call (855) 473-6535 for a repair estimate.
My old shower enclosure has a chipped glass edge – repair or replace? A chipped tempered panel is a safety hazard and can’t be repaired. If the enclosure is otherwise sound and hardware is still available, replacing just the panel can make sense. If the rollers, hinges, and seals are all aging out too, replacement is often the better money. We’ll give you both numbers and let you decide.
Can you install an enclosure that also stands up to snow-season humidity and condensation? That’s standard for us, not an upgrade. We use stainless hinges and hardware rated for high-moisture environments, bed the curb so water can’t creep into the framing, and seal the wall junction for freeze-thaw movement. A properly set Mr-Glass enclosure in Running Springs handles winter condensation without weeping or corroding. Call (855) 473-6535 and we’ll spec it right.
