Service Areas › Rancho Bernardo
Rancho Bernardo is a large master-planned community built out over three decades, and most of the shower glass we install here is a second-generation replacement.
Development started in the early 1960s and rolled through the 1980s, so there is a wide spread of housing ages within the same community. The original bathrooms often still have 1970s and 1980s framed bypass doors with worn rollers and corroded bottom rails. The newer sections and the many remodeled units have larger master baths with frameless openings already framed out. A significant number of residents here are retired and want a low-maintenance setup rather than a design statement.
City of San Diego water in most of the community, hard as everywhere in the county, with the inland heat increasing mineral baking on glass.
The 1970s framed slider is at end of life, and the honest recommendation is normally a full frameless replacement rather than another round of roller and track parts.
Retired homeowners want easy cleaning and no leaks, so we prioritize a protective coating, a drop-down sweep, and hardware that does not need re-tightening.
A curb too high to step over is a real problem. We can design a low-curb or curbless opening around an existing shower when the drain allows it.

Rancho Bernardo has a large number of original-owner homes where the bathroom has never been touched since the 1970s. Those jobs often reveal corroded framing behind the tile, and we inspect for it before quoting a simple glass swap.
Almost always replace. The bottom rail and rollers on those units are usually corroded past useful repair, and a frameless replacement also gains usable width.
Sometimes. It depends on the drain height and the waterproofing detail. We assess it on site, because cutting a curb without redoing the pan and waterproofing causes leaks.
Yes. We recommend a factory-applied hydrophobic coating on every install here, which makes the weekly cleaning a squeegee rather than a scrub.
