Mr-Glass Construction in Bloomington, CA | Elmwood Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass window, door, and shower enclosure service across Bloomington, ZIP 92316, and also offer Mr-Glass service in Fontana. The one thing that sets our Mr-Glass work apart here? We know that in this unincorporated San Bernardino County community, a glass change can trip county permit requirements that never apply in Fontana or Rialto. If you’re planning Mr-Glass work in Bloomington, call (866) 253-8554 for a straight answer on what’s actually involved.
Our crew has installed and repaired Mr-Glass windows, doors, and shower enclosures across Bloomington’s older stucco homes for years. We’ve learned the quirks of mid-century rough openings and the way Inland Empire sun and wind punish the wrong glass or frame. We’re an independent contractor, not affiliated with Mr-Glass, but we know their product lines well enough to tell you what fails, why, and whether repair beats replacement. Need Mr-Glass service in Glen Avon or Bloomington? Call (866) 253-8554.
Why Bloomington Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’re not a box-store installer and we’re not the manufacturer’s own crew. We’re a General Contractor – Bloomington that works on Mr-Glass products because Bloomington homeowners keep asking us to. Nolan Shepherd, our owner, grew up in Fullerton’s Sunny Hills neighborhood, where half the houses on his street were built in the late ’60s. By the time he was a teenager, he already knew which ones were going to have foundation problems. That’s the mindset we bring to Mr-Glass work in Bloomington: we look at the whole opening, not just the glass.
We name the brands going into your home before the contract is signed. For Mr-Glass repairs we source OEM parts whenever available, and for discontinued lines we spec aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed the original. Our Mr-Glass sales & service experience means we stock the rollers, seals, and hardware that keep most Bloomington callbacks off your calendar. And because we work across the full exterior envelope, we can tell you when a fogged window is a symptom of a bigger rough-opening or flashing problem.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Bloomington
- Warped and discolored 500 Series vinyl frames. Mr-Glass 500 Series vinyl windows hold up reasonably well, but the south- and west-facing walls of Bloomington’s mid-century stucco homes catch relentless afternoon sun. Over a decade or two, frames can warp enough that sashes no longer seat, and the vinyl starts to chalk. We see it often on homes along Valley Blvd and the citrus-era streets branching off it.
- Sticking, dragging Mr-Glass 800 Series sliding glass doors. Bloomington sits on flat, sandy ground, and when the Santa Anas kick up, fine dust finds its way into door tracks. Rollers and track surfaces on 800 Series sliders wear out faster here than in coastal cities. The door starts sticking, then misaligns, then the handle latch stops engaging.
- Leaking frameless shower enclosures from hard-water hinge and seal degradation. The Inland Empire’s water supply is notoriously hard, and Bloomington is no exception. Mineral buildup eats at hinge gaskets and sweep seals on Mr-Glass frameless shower enclosures. Once a seal degrades, water escapes, and glass etching follows.
- Drafty older single-pane Mr-Glass windows with failed glazing putty and weatherstripping. Many Bloomington homes from the 1940s to 1970s still have their original Mr-Glass single-pane units. The old putty dries out, the weatherstripping crumbles, and during Santa Ana wind events the drafts become impossible to ignore. Energy bills climb too.
- Fogged double-pane units from failed seals. The extreme temperature swings between Bloomington’s hot days and cool nights stress insulated glass unit seals. Once the seal fails, moisture gets in and the glass fogs permanently. Repair isn’t an option at that point: the IGU needs replacement.
Mr-Glass Service in Bloomington: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Because Bloomington is unincorporated, any window or glass installation that changes the building envelope may trigger San Bernardino County building permits and inspections, not a city’s. County plan reviewers often require added documentation for older homes with undocumented additions, which can delay glass installations that would sail through in Fontana or Rialto. We see this regularly on the older large-lot properties off Valley Blvd, where a garage conversion or added bedroom from decades past sits in county records as an open question. That means a straightforward Mr-Glass window swap can turn into a paperwork exercise if the original rough opening wasn’t permitted. Elmwood Contractors coordinates that process for you; it’s part of our Bloomington service area expertise. We pull permits, schedule county inspections, and keep your glass project moving while the bureaucracy does its thing. The right material in the right place. Everything else is just catching up to that decision.
On a citrus-era street off Valley Blvd, we replaced three fogged Mr-Glass 500 Series windows in a 1960s stucco home. The south-facing units had warped frames from decades of sun. We upgraded to impact-rated glass and re-flashed the rough openings, and the homeowner noticed quieter rooms and lower energy bills within the first month.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Bloomington
We work on the Mr-Glass 500 Series vinyl windows, 800 Series sliding glass doors, frameless shower enclosures, and custom mirror and glass table tops. For repair work, we source OEM parts whenever Mr-Glass still supplies them, because fit and function matter on mid-century rough openings that were rarely square to begin with. When a line is discontinued, we use aftermarket equivalents that meet or exceed original specs. We always assess whether repair is cost-effective versus replacement, and we’ll tell you honestly when a unit’s age makes replacement the smarter spend. Our local parts stock covers the most common Bloomington failures: 800 Series rollers, 500 Series balances and latches, and shower hinge gaskets.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Bloomington
If you’re swapping glass into existing frames, usually not. If you’re replacing the entire window assembly or altering the rough opening, San Bernardino County building and safety rules apply, and a permit may be required. Because Bloomington is unincorporated, it’s the county, not a city building department, that reviews the work. We handle the permit paperwork so you don’t have to guess. Call (866) 253-8554 and we’ll tell you what applies to your specific project.
No, a fogged insulated glass unit can’t be repaired. Once the seal fails and moisture gets between the panes, the IGU needs replacement. We can replace the glass unit within an otherwise sound frame when the frame is still square and intact, which is often cheaper than a full window swap. We’ll assess the frame before recommending anything.
The 500 Series holds up acceptably, but south- and west-facing units in Bloomington take serious abuse. Expect frame warping and vinyl discoloration after 10 to 15 years of direct Inland Empire sun. If you’re replacing, we typically recommend impact-rated glass or a higher-grade vinyl for those exposures. It costs more up front and lasts significantly longer.
We quote frameless shower enclosures between $4,500 and $12,000 in Bloomington, depending on glass thickness, hardware finish, and whether the existing pan or opening needs rework. Hard water in the area makes seal and hinge quality matter more than most people expect. Call (866) 253-8554 for a written, line-item quote before you commit.
Yes. The 800 Series sliders are a big part of our Bloomington work, and we also handle Mr-Glass repair in Pedley. In dusty, windy conditions the rollers and tracks wear quickly, and we replace them regularly. If the track itself is bent or the frame has shifted, we’ll tell you whether a full replacement makes more sense than repeated repairs.
