Mr-Glass Construction in Selma, CA | Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno
We provide independent Mr-Glass service across Selma, CA, with a focus on frameless shower enclosures, tub-to-shower conversions, and walk-in shower installations. Our crews have spent years working inside Selma’s older bungalows and ranches, so we know how Mr-Glass products behave when the walls behind them are no longer square. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free estimate, and we’ll tell you straight what your shower project needs before you spend a dollar.
Why Selma Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Mr-Glass shower doors are built to precise tolerances, and Selma’s housing stock rarely is. Homes here run from 1920s bungalows to 1980s ranches, and the framing in many of them has settled, shifted, or was never dead plumb to begin with. That gap between a precision product and an imperfect opening is where most Mr-Glass installations go wrong, and it’s where we spend our time getting the details right.
Curtis Lane, the owner of Bradford Remodeling Co Fresno, grew up picking up framing skills before studying construction technology at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College. He’s spent over two decades in Central California, and his crews have worked on everything from Tower District bungalows to commercial work along Shaw Avenue. When we set a Mr-Glass panel, we shim the wall jambs, check the floor for level, and account for how the glass will move through Selma’s hot and cold seasons. This is part of our Mr-Glass sales & service work that homeowners repeatedly call us for: making a precision product hold up in an older home.
We are an independent Mr-Glass service provider. We are not manufacturer-affiliated or authorized by Mr-Glass, and we don’t pretend otherwise. What we offer is hands-on familiarity with the product lines and the local building conditions that affect them.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Selma
- Stress cracks at the hinge cutouts on 8500 Series hinged doors. Selma’s summer heat pushes glass to expand, and when an 8500 Series door is hung on wall jambs that don’t account for an out-of-plumb opening from a 1960s stud wall, the glass binds at the hinge points. Over a few hot summers, hairline cracks turn into full stress fractures. We re-shim and re-hang before the glass fails.
- Roller assemblies on 6800 Series bypass doors that bind and jump the track. Fine dust from the Central Valley gets into the bottom channel of a bypass door, and once that dust mixes with shower humidity, it turns into a paste that drags the rollers. The rollers skip, the door jumps the track, and the glass slams into the frame. We clean and replace roller assemblies, then adjust the track so it sheds water instead of holding grit.
- Vinyl sweep seals that shrink and curl from heat exposure. Selma regularly sees summer days past 100°F, and bathroom windows here don’t always open. The vinyl sweeps on 8300 and 6800 Series doors shrink under that heat, curl up at the corners, and let water wick onto the original floors of older Selma homes. We replace them with OEM sweeps sized for the exact door model.
- Wall jambs pulling screws loose from 1950s-to-1970s studs. Older wood framing in Selma can be dry, split, or simply softer than modern lumber. When a Mr-Glass panel is shimmed poorly, the screws holding the wall jamb work loose over time, the glass sags, and the door starts to drag or misalign. We set tapered shims and, where needed, reinforce the stud before the panel goes up.
- Tub-to-shower conversions that fight the original bathroom footprint. Many Selma homes west of the railroad tracks still have a 3×4-foot bathroom with a load-bearing wall built from 2×4 studs on 16-inch centers. Converting a tub to a shower in that space means working around a wall that has settled out of plumb since the 1960s. We map the framing before we order glass, so the Mr-Glass product fits the actual opening, not the blueprint.
Mr-Glass Service in Selma: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Walk the older neighborhoods west of the railroad tracks in Selma and you’ll see a lot of original 3×4-foot bathroom footprints. These are small rooms, often with a load-bearing wall of 2×4 studs on 16-inch centers that have settled since the 1960s. A Mr-Glass tub-to-shower conversion in these homes doesn’t start with ordering glass. It starts with checking whether the corner where the shower will sit is still square, because in many of these houses it isn’t any more. If we order a standard Mr-Glass enclosure for an opening that’s 5/8 inch out of plumb, the glass will stress at the hinges or the panel will sit crooked against the wall. So before we spec any Mr-Glass product in Selma, we measure the rough opening in three places, check the floor for slope, and confirm what the studs behind the tile are actually doing. That single step is the difference between a shower door that holds for twenty years and one that cracks in three. Fresno and Madera have newer stock in many neighborhoods, a fact we see reflected in how often clients from those areas ask us about Selma service area coverage for older homes here.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Selma
Our crews regularly work on the Mr-Glass 8500 Series Frameless Hinged Shower Door, the 8300 Series Neo-Angle Shower Enclosure, the 6800 Series Bypass Shower Door, and the 5/16″ SG Series Glass Panel System. We use OEM Mr-Glass profiles, hinges, and sweeps whenever they’re available, because dimensional mismatches from aftermarket parts cause leaks and glass stress in exactly the kinds of out-of-square openings common in Selma. For the older 6800 models that are out of production, we use aftermarket rollers and seals only when OEM stock is exhausted, and we replace the full door if the glass edge quality or frame extrusion can’t be safely shimmed. We keep no showroom inventory in Selma; we order per project and stage materials to your timeline, which keeps costs predictable and means you’re not paying for stock we never move.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Selma
Here’s what Mr-Glass Kitchen Remodeling - Selma and shower construction work costs, based on what we’ve seen across the city’s older homes. These are real ranges, not placeholder numbers.
| Mr-Glass Project | Selma Price Range |
|---|---|
| Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure (Mr-Glass 8500 Series) | $4500 – $12000 |
| Tub-to-Shower Conversion with Mr-Glass Door | $3500 – $10000 |
| Walk-In Shower Installation with Mr-Glass Panel | $4500 – $12000 |
| Shower Replacement (including Mr-Glass hardware) | $3000 – $8500 |
The spread comes down to the condition of what’s behind the tile. A tub-to-shower conversion in a 1970s ranch with dry, settled framing costs more than the same job in a home with straight studs and a solid floor, because we have to build the opening before we hang the glass. Every estimate includes a written line-item scope and a fixed price before any work starts. Call (559) 785-2712 and we’ll give you a number you can plan around.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Selma
Yes, the 8300 Series neo-angle enclosure is designed for corner shower footprints around 32 to 36 inches, which matches many of the smaller bungalow bathrooms in Selma. The catch is the corner itself. In older Selma homes, the two walls forming the shower corner may not be square to each other or plumb to the floor, so we measure the angle before ordering panels. If the corner is close to square, the 8300 goes in clean. If it’s off by more than a fraction, we shim and re-set the framing first. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free measurement and quote.
Selma’s air is dry, and the valley kicks up fine dust that settles into the bottom track of a bypass shower door. That dust mixes with shower water and soap, forms a gritty paste, and grinds the roller bearings while you slide the door. Coastal cities get moist air and sea salt, but they don’t get the abrasive Valley dust that eats rollers here. On 6800 Series bypass doors in Selma, we expect to replace rollers more often than the same door in, say, a coastal city, and we recommend cleaning the bottom track monthly. Want us to inspect your rollers? Call (559) 785-2712.
It can, if the door is hung without compensating for the floor slope. Frameless Mr-Glass doors rely on a tight sweep along the bottom and a square hinge line; when the floor pitches half an inch over four feet, the sweep gaps on one end and water escapes onto the floor. We correct for this by setting the hinge side first, then shimming the wall jambs so the door hangs square to the shower pan, not to the room. In Selma homes from the 1950s through the 1970s, we almost always find some floor irregularity, so we plan for it from the first measurement. For exact pricing, call (559) 785-2712.
Yes, provided the tile pan is structurally sound and still holds water. In Selma’s 1970s ranches, we’ve seen pans with cracked grout, loose tiles, or a mud bed that’s gone soft underneath. If the pan is solid, we clean it, seal it, and install the Mr-Glass hardware directly over it. If the pan is compromised, we recommend replacing it before the glass goes in, because a failed pan under a new frameless door is a problem you’ll be paying to fix twice. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free pan inspection and a fixed price either way.
In Selma’s small bathroom footprints, the Mr-Glass 8500 Series Frameless Hinged Shower Door is often the best choice, because it mounts to a single glass panel rather than a full frame and reads visually lighter in a small room. For tighter corners, the 8300 Series neo-angle enclosure makes the most of a 32-inch corner without eating floor space. The deciding factor is where the plumbing sits and how the door will swing, so we walk the room with you before we spec the glass. Call (559) 785-2712 for a free consultation.
