Mr-Glass Construction in Broadmoor, CA | Ashford Contractors
We provide independent Mr-Glass window, door, and shower enclosure service across Broadmoor, and the single thing that separates our work here from anywhere else is this: every job threads San Mateo County permitting and seismic retrofit requirements, not Daly City or Colma rules. That changes what gets bolted, braced, and inspected on almost every Mr-Glass replacement we touch in the 94015. If you need a Mr-Glass window re-sealed, a patio slider track rebuilt, or a frameless shower enclosure installed on a settling 1950s ranch, call (877) 752-3868 for a free estimate.
Why Broadmoor Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
Most glass companies treat Mr-Glass as just another window brand, even for Mr-Glass service in Pacifica. We don’t have that luxury. Broadmoor’s housing stock is almost entirely post-WWII stucco-over-wood-frame tract and ranch homes, and a huge share of them still carry their original or early-replacement Mr-Glass aluminum sliders and double-hungs. Those units fail in specific, predictable ways here: corroded frames from the fog belt, fogged glass from failed seals, and tracks that bind because the house has settled and shifted over 70 years on San Andreas-adjacent soil.
Glen Mossier, our owner, grew up in Foster City’s Marlin Cove neighborhood and trained in construction technology at Skyline College, where framing and mechanical systems were drilled before anything aesthetic. That background matters when a Mr-Glass window in Broadmoor opens a wall to reveal unpermitted framing from an old garage conversion, which happens more than homeowners expect. We re-flash, shim, brace, and seal properly, then install glass that slides the way it did when the house was new. Our full breadth as a general contractor means the window replacement, the rotted sill, the stucco repair, and the seismic bracket all get handled by one crew, one contract, one accountable point of contact.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Broadmoor
- Corroded aluminum frames and pitted hardware. The persistent summer fog off the San Bruno Gap pushes damp marine air into every west-facing wall in Broadmoor. Mr-Glass 4000 Series aluminum sliders take the worst of it: pitted tracks, seized rollers, corroded screw bosses. We strip, treat, and replace hardware with stainless or OEM-spec parts rather than painting over the rot.
- Fogged or failed double-pane glass. Broadmoor’s damp air works its way into failed glazing seals, and once moisture gets between panes, the glass fogs permanently and the insulating value drops. We replace failed IGUs (insulated glass units) sized for Mr-Glass frames, and we re-seal the sash so the same moisture path doesn’t open again.
- Sticking or misaligned sliding tracks from foundation settling. Older Broadmoor homes sit on post-WWII foundations that have moved over decades of seismic micro-shifting and clay soil expansion. A Mr-Glass patio sliding door that scrapes, jumps, or won’t latch is usually a track and roller alignment problem, not just a cleaning issue. We re-level, shim, and replace rollers so the door glides and seals.
- Cracked or shattered glass from seismic events or thermal stress. Broadmoor sits near the Daly City/Colma border on the San Andreas Fault zone. Small tremors and uneven settling concentrate stress at glass corners, and older Mr-Glass units with rigid metal glazing are especially prone to corner cracks. We replace the glass, inspect the frame for racking, and correct the stress point before it recurs.
- Leaking shower enclosures and corroded shower hardware. Mr-Glass frameless tempered enclosures are 3/8″ or 1/2″ glass, and Broadmoor’s hard, mineral-heavy local water plus constant humidity corrodes hinges and clips faster than drier inland areas. We re-seal, re-level, and replace OEM hinges and seals to stop leaks and staining at the source.
Mr-Glass Service in Broadmoor: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Here’s the thing about Broadmoor that a visiting contractor won’t know: the entire community is an unincorporated San Mateo County enclave wrapped inside Daly City and Mr-Glass repair in Colma. Every Mr-Glass window or door replacement permit goes through San Mateo County, whose seismic retrofit requirements routinely add cripple-wall bracing and foundation bolting to what sounds like a simple glass swap. We’ve done enough jobs along Avalon Drive, Village Lane, and the 87th-to-90th Street loop to know the county inspector will look at the wall cavity before signing off, not just the window. That means a Mr-Glass 4000 Series slider replacement on a 1952 ranch often also includes supplemental anchor bolts, panel edge nailing, or a sheer panel detail because the house predates modern lateral-load codes. A generic glass outfit will swap the window and leave. We do the window, the bracing, the permit, and the inspection because they’re all part of the same job in Broadmoor. That’s the difference, and it’s written into every estimate we give.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Broadmoor
We service the full Mr-Glass product range you’re likely to find on Broadmoor homes:
- Mr-Glass 4000 Series aluminum sliding windows: frequent on original 1940s-1950s construction, now prone to track corrosion and roller failure in the fog.
- Mr-Glass 6000 Series vinyl double-hung windows: better on moisture, but sashes bind when framing shifts, and balances wear out.
- Mr-Glass Series 7000 patio sliding doors: heavy glass panels and floor tracks that take years of grit and marine air.
- Mr-Glass frameless tempered shower enclosures in 3/8″ and 1/2″ glass: hinges, clips, and seals that need exact OEM or matched aftermarket parts.
Our parts approach is simple: OEM Mr-Glass rollers, locks, and gaskets whenever they’re available, and carefully matched aftermarket equivalents for discontinued non-structural hardware. For Broadmoor turnaround, we stock the common Mr-Glass roller sizes, balance cartridges, and glazing gaskets locally so a single-unit repair doesn’t mean a two-week wait on a made-to-order part.

AfterMr-Glass Service Pricing in Broadmoor
Mr-Glass service pricing in Broadmoor depends on whether the frame can be salvaged or the whole unit needs to come out. A targeted roller and track rebuild on an existing Mr-Glass slider runs far less than a full replacement with county-required bracing. Here’s what current Mr-Glass work typically falls into:
| Mr-Glass Service | Typical Range in Broadmoor |
|---|---|
| Window Replacement (Mr-Glass retrofit) | $4,500 – $15,000 |
| Impact Window Installation | $8,000 – $25,000 |
| Frameless Glass Shower Enclosure (part of Walk-In Shower Installation) | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| Shower Replacement | $3,000 – $8,500 |
What drives the final number on a Broadmoor Mr-Glass job is the condition of the rough opening, whether the county requires seismic bracing, and whether the existing frame is salvageable. Our free estimate includes a full assessment of the unit, the wall cavity, and the permit path, so you get a line-item quote before any work starts. Call (877) 752-3868 and we’ll put a number to your specific Mr-Glass job.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Broadmoor
Yes, in most cases you do. Because Broadmoor is unincorporated San Mateo County territory, window and door replacements that change the rough opening or involve structural work pull permits through San Mateo County, not Daly City or Colma. Simple like-for-like glass or sash replacement may not require one, but if we’re opening a wall, reframing, or adding bracing, we handle the permit and inspection for you. The county will likely want to see seismic details on older Broadmoor homes, which we’re fully prepared to install. Call (877) 752-3868 and we’ll tell you exactly which path your Mr-Glass job falls under.
Fogging between the panes of a Mr-Glass shower enclosure means the glazing seal has failed and moisture has gotten inside the glass unit, which happens faster in Broadmoor because of the constant marine humidity. Spotting on the glass surface is usually mineral buildup from Broadmoor’s hard water combined with a failing or worn seal that lets water sit on the edges longer than it should. We can replace the IGU, re-seal the enclosure, and upgrade the hinges and clips to OEM or matched aftermarket parts so the enclosure stops fogging and drains properly. Call (877) 752-3868 for an exact diagnosis and quote.
Often we can repair it. If the Mr-Glass Series 7000 track has surface corrosion and pitting but the frame is structurally sound, we clean the aluminum, treat the corrosion, replace the rollers with stainless steel, and restore the slide. If the corrosion has eaten through the track or the frame has racked from foundation movement, replacement is the more honest recommendation. We assess the full unit before recommending either path, and we’ll never sell you a new door when a $300 roller and track rebuild extends the life of what you have. Call (877) 752-3868 for a free assessment.
Broadmoor sits on the San Andreas Fault zone near the Daly City/Colma border, which triggers heightened county seismic scrutiny on any permitted work that opens a wall. For Mr-Glass window and patio door replacements, that often means cripple-wall bracing, foundation bolting, or soft-story corrections get added to the scope, especially on original 1940s-1950s wood frame homes. For frameless shower enclosures, tempered Mr-Glass panels are designed to break safely, but we still anchor and level the enclosure to allow for slight house movement without stressing the glass. Call (877) 752-3868 and we’ll explain what the county will require for your specific home.
Yes, if the Mr-Glass frame and sash are sound, we can replace just the cracked insulated glass unit, matched to the existing frame dimensions. On Broadmoor homes, we always check the frame for racking or stress points that caused the crack in the first place, otherwise the new glass cracks again in the same spot. If the frame is racked or corroded, replacing just the glass is a short-term patch, not a fix, and we’ll tell you that plainly. Call (877) 752-3868 for a free quote on glass-only versus full-unit replacement.
