Mr-Glass Construction in Mentone, CA | Sycamore Contractors
We’re Sycamore Contractors, and we provide independent Mr-Glass window, door, and architectural glass service across Mentone. The short version: we install and repair Mr-Glass products here, and the one thing that makes our Mr-Glass work different in Mentone is that we know the county permitting and fire-clearance path cold. If your Mr-Glass windows or sliders need attention, call (877) 265-6284 for a straight answer and a free estimate.
Why Mentone Residents Choose Us for Mr-Glass Service
We’ve worked Mr-Glass vinyl single-hung windows, sliding glass patio doors, and frameless shower enclosures into Mentone homes for years. Nate Calloway, who runs Sycamore Contractors, learned the trade the long way: fundamentals at Palomar College, then the better part of two decades running crews across Southwest Riverside County. What that means for you is a plain-spoken read on your Mr-Glass units: we’ll tell you when a sash can be re-glazed versus when the frame has to go. We’re not a Mr-Glass dealer, and we’re not authorized by them. We’re an independent contractor whose opinion comes from field installation, not a franchise agreement. That independence lets us be honest about parts, pricing, and whether a repair is actually worth your money.

Common Mr-Glass Construction Problems We Solve in Mentone
- Sun-baked weatherstripping and seal failure. Mentone summers are hot and dry, and the Santa Anas hammer foothill-facing elevations. We regularly see Mr-Glass slider and single-hung units with cracked vinyl weatherstripping and dried glazing seals that let wind-driven dust and water past the sash. We re-glaze and re-seal where the frame is square.
- Sliders that bind and drop on worn rollers. Older Mr-Glass aluminum and vinyl sliders on ranch-era Mentone homes drag their tracks and stop latching. That’s usually a roller and hardware failure, not a glass failure. We replace the rollers and re-seat the sash rather than sell you a whole new door.
- Out-of-square openings from slope movement. Hillside and slope-settled custom homes around Mentone shift after wet seasons. A Mr-Glass patio door or fixed panel that was true at install develops a diagonal gap and starts drafting. We reset and flash the opening before setting new glass.
- Ember and radiant heat damage to seals and gaskets. On fire-exposed foothill parcels, ember intrusion and radiant heat attack the seals, gaskets, and any non-rated plastic components of a Mr-Glass unit long before the glass itself fails. We check the whole assembly, not just the pane.
- Frameless shower enclosure leaks and misalignment. Mentone homes on well and septic often have older framing that’s settled. A frameless glass shower panel that was set plumb can drift out of alignment and leak at the sweep. We re-level, re-seal, and replace hardware as needed.
Mr-Glass Service in Mentone: What Local Conditions Mean for Your Equipment
Mentone is unincorporated San Bernardino County, which changes the whole shape of a window or glass-door job here. Mr-Glass repair in Redlands goes through city hall. Here, it goes through San Bernardino County Building and Safety. And on foothill parcels inside the wildland-urban-interface, that county path pairs the glazing permit with fire-hazard and brush-clearance review. We’ve walked that combined track on jobs off Crafton Avenue and elsewhere around Mentone, and it’s not something a generic Mr-Glass page ever mentions. The practical consequence: if you’re replacing Mr-Glass windows or a sliding door on a hillside lot, the county may ask about defensible space and vegetation clearance at the same time they’re reviewing your glazing. We handle both pieces so the permit and the fire review move together instead of stalling each other.
Mr-Glass Models & Products We Service in Mentone
We work across the Mr-Glass lines you’re likely to find on Mentone properties: vinyl single-hung and sliding replacement windows, sliding glass patio doors, custom shower and architectural glass, and tempered and laminated safety glass for door and window replacement. For parts, our rule is simple. We use Mr-Glass OEM glazing, sash, roller, and weatherstrip components where the frame is sound. Where OEM is discontinued or priced unreasonably, we use quality aftermarket rollers, locks, and weatherseal. We keep common Mr-Glass roller and weatherseal sizes on the truck for faster Mentone-area turnaround, and we’ll tell you upfront which parts your job needs.

FAQs – Mr-Glass Construction in Mentone
It goes through the county. Mentone is unincorporated, so San Bernardino County Building and Safety is the permitting authority, not a city building department. We prepare and submit the paperwork, and on foothill parcels the glazing permit often runs alongside the fire-hazard review. Call (877) 265-6284 and we’ll confirm which path applies to your property. Estimates are free.
If your parcel sits in the wildland-urban-interface, the answer is usually yes. The county pairs glazing permits with brush-clearance and fire-hazard review on those lots. We walk the clearance line with you so you know what’s needed before the inspector arrives. For a clear answer on your specific parcel, call (877) 265-6284.
Not usually. On most ranch-era Mentone sliders, the problem is worn rollers and tired hardware, not the glass or frame. We replace the rollers, re-seat the sash, and adjust the latch. If the frame is cracked or the opening has gone badly out of square from slope movement, replacement is the honest call. We’ll tell you which one your door needs.
Yes. Well and septic have no bearing on the shower enclosure itself. The issue we watch for is settled framing in older Mentone homes, which can throw a fixed glass panel out of plumb. We level and anchor the panel properly so the sweep seals and the door swings true. Give us a call at (877) 265-6284 and we’ll take measurements.
No, we’re independent. We are not authorized, affiliated with, or backed by Mr-Glass. Our workmanship is warranted by Sycamore Contractors, and we use Mr-Glass OEM parts where the frame is sound. Product warranty questions go to Mr-Glass; installation warranty sits with us.
