Mr-Glass Construction in San Jose, CA | Seaside Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass window and door service across San Jose, from Mr-Glass repair in Buena Vista to re-glazing fogged double-pane units, full replacements, and frameless glass shower enclosures. What makes our Mr-Glass work different here is straightforward: San Jose’s heritage-tree ordinance and infill remodeling pressure mean a window swap is rarely just a window swap. Call (833) 589-8103 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass project in San Jose.
Why San Jose Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve rebuilt and re-glazed hundreds of Mr-Glass windows and doors across San Jose’s postwar stucco ranchers and newer townhomes, including Mr-Glass repair in Seven Trees, so we know how these frames hold up in tight-lot remodels and additions. There’s a difference between a contractor who occasionally swaps a window and one who’s pulled apart Mr-Glass 6000 Series double-hungs to see exactly where the seals fail after ten summers of San Jose sun. Glen Sorrento grew up in Foster City watching lagoon-side homes get built and rebuilt, studied building construction technology at College of San Mateo, and has spent two-plus decades working through nearly every project type the Peninsula throws at a contractor. That background means we match the Mr-Glass repair to the actual job, not the other way around. We’re local to the South Bay, we stock common Mr-Glass hardware for fast San Jose turnaround, and we’re one contractor accountable for the whole scope, from the window opening to the stucco flashing around it.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in San Jose
- Dual-pane fogging and seal failure: South-facing Mr-Glass 800 Series vinyl windows take a beating from San Jose’s long dry summers. We see seals give out on the west and south elevations first, especially on two-story townhomes near downtown where the afternoon heat has no tree cover to break it.
- Sliding door rollers that bind and corrode: San Jose’s wet winters drive moisture into the bottom track of Mr-Glass 2000 Series sliders. The rollers seize, the door drags, and homeowners force it until the track bends. We replace rollers and weatherstripping before the frame takes damage.
- Wood-frame windows that swell and stick: The 1940s and 1950s ranchers across 95110, 95111, and 95112 often have original wood-framed Mr-Glass units. They swell during the wet season and leave gaps in the dry season, which shows up as drafts in December and stuck sashes in June.
- Stucco-integrated flange leaks: When an addition or ADU changes the wall plane, the old Mr-Glass window flange that was lapped into the stucco can crack and leak at the sill. We re-flash the opening properly rather than caulking over the problem.
- Condensation between panes in shower enclosures: Frameless glass shower enclosures installed by other contractors sometimes use poorly sealed Mr-Glass compatible units. We replace the glass and hardware and re-set the enclosure with proper waterproofing.
Mr-Glass Service in San Jose: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
San Jose’s heritage-tree ordinance is the thing that catches remodelers from out of town off guard. A mature oak or redwood in a backyard in 95111 or 95112 can require a city permit and an arborist review before a lot-split or addition can proceed, and it affects window work too. If our crew needs staging space under a protected tree to reach second-story Mr-Glass units, we schedule around the arborist timeline and the city permit rather than assuming a simple one-day swap. On a 1950s rancher near Naglee Park, we handled Mr-Glass service in Communications Hill and nearby, replacing a set of fogged Mr-Glass 6000 Series double-hungs on a west-facing wall and re-flashing the stucco openings to stop winter rain from wicking behind the frames. The homeowner got clear glass and a weathertight wall without touching the protected redwood in the backyard. That’s the San Jose version of a window job: the glass is the easy part, and the site conditions are what actually drive the schedule and the cost.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in San Jose
We service the Mr-Glass 6000 Series double-hung, the 2000 Series sliding glass door, the 800 Series vinyl replacement window, and the 3000 Series awning window. For parts, we take a repair-first approach: OEM-matched glass and hardware when the manufacturer still stocks it, and high-quality aftermarket weatherstripping and rollers when OEM parts are discontinued. We recommend full replacement only when frame rot or repeated seal failure makes repair a losing bet. For San Jose homeowners planning an addition or ADU, we also install impact-rated Mr-Glass compatible windows, full window replacements, and frameless glass shower enclosures. This connects to our broader glass and glazing work across Mr-Glass sales & service, where we walk clients through the repair-versus-replace decision with straight numbers.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in San Jose
Yes, in many cases we can replace just the failed glass unit and reseal the sash, which costs less than a full window swap. But if the frame has rot or the seal has failed twice, replacement becomes the better use of your money. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll take a look before you spend anything.
Yes, the bottom track on a Mr-Glass 2000 Series slider will collect debris and moisture every winter unless it drains properly. We install and adjust the track with drainage in mind, and we replace rollers and weatherstripping before the wet season starts to keep the door moving without force.
If we need staging or ladder access under a protected tree on your property, the city may require a permit and an arborist review before we start. We handle that paperwork and build the timeline into the estimate, so the job doesn’t stall mid-install. Call (833) 589-8103 and we’ll check your lot for any protected trees during the free estimate.
Yes, and we do this regularly because most San Jose ADU conversions on narrow lots go up rather than out, so window and door placement matters a lot. We coordinate the Mr-Glass units with the framing and stucco work, which keeps the flange and waterproofing details correct from the start.
Full window replacement typically runs $5,310 to $17,700 depending on the number of units, the Mr-Glass model, and whether any openings need re-flashing. Impact-rated windows run higher, $9,440 to $29,500. We give a written line-item quote after a site visit so the number reflects your actual windows, not a square-foot average.
