Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First

Independent Mr-Glass custom and geometric window service in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $340 to $2,800 per opening depending on whether we’re repairing an existing unit or building a replacement, with most repairs completed in a single visit and full custom builds taking three to five weeks from templating to install. We’re not a Mr-Glass dealer or factory arm, but we’ve torn down enough of their arched, radius, and oversized units across Broward County to know exactly where they fail and what it takes to make them right. If you own a Mr-Glass window that’s fogged, leaking, binding, or simply not performing, call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll give you a straight answer on the phone before we ever send a truck.

How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them

Mr-Glass makes a handsome window frame, no argument from us. But South Florida’s salt air, humidity, and hurricane cycles press every seal and joint hard, and certain series show predictable wear patterns here in Fort Lauderdale. Here’s what we see again and again:

• Radius frame corner separation on Mr-Glass radius units. On arched and half-round windows, the bent-frame corners are the stress points. Repeated thermal cycling, especially on east- and west-facing elevations near the Intracoastal, lets the corner fasteners work loose and the sealant crack. Water gets behind the flange and you won’t see it until the drywall blisters. We pull the interior trim, re-secure the corner joinery, re-bed the flange in marine-grade sealant, and re-caulk. The fix outlasts the original install by years.
• IGU fogging on Mr-Glass insulated geometric units. Trapezoids, octagons, and curved-top fixed windows are built as insulated glass units. When the perimeter butyl seal fails, humid Fort Lauderdale air infiltrates the airspace and the glass fogs permanently. The only correct fix is IGU replacement with a new custom-cut unit matched to the original glazing spec. We fabricate locally to get the exact tint, Low-E coating, and thickness, so the replacement reads identical to the untouched windows beside it.
• Sash binding on Mr-Glass operable custom shapes. On operable units with non-square geometry, the hinges and rollers carry uneven loads. Years of use, plus a little corrosion from the coastal air, makes the sash drag, stick, or refuse to close flush. We see it most on the Mr-Glass awning and casement configurations. We rebuild the hardware stack, lubricate with a corrosion-resistant compound, and adjust the keeper geometry so the sash seats with even pressure on all four sides.
• Weep system clogs on Mr-Glass fixed geometric windows. Big fixed trapezoid and radius windows with no operable sash rely on weep slots to drain the water that gets behind the outer seal. Algae, sand, and bugs plug them within a few years here. Water backs up, pools in the sill track, and eventually runs down the interior wall. We clear the weeps, verify the sill flashing slopes correctly, and install small screens over the weeps that let water out and keep critters from getting back in.
• Frame distortion on Mr-Glass oversized picture windows. Large fixed windows with spans over eight feet flex under wind load and their own weight. Over time the frame bows slightly, which cracks the interior sealant, lets air in, and sets up a slow leak. We true the frame with proper structural reinforcement, reset the glass, and re-seal every joint with a continuous bead of UV-stable sealant rated for the South Florida sun.

Our Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Process

Every Mr-Glass job in Fort Lauderdale follows the same disciplined path, whether it’s a single fogged arch or a full wall of trapezoids. Here’s what it looks like:

1. 1
   Call and diagnosis. You call (904) 747-8989, a live person answers, and we talk through the symptom. In Fort Lauderdale we can often narrow the problem and the likely parts before we set foot in the house, which means a faster first visit.
2. 2
   On-site evaluation. We measure the opening, check the frame for square and plumb, inspect the glazing and hardware, and document what we find. You get a written line-item quote with fixed pricing, not a range and not a “we’ll see.”
3. 3
   Parts decision. For visible hardware we use OEM components whenever practical, especially locks, handles, and hinge sets. For glass replacement we go to a local Fort Lauderdale fabricator for the IGU, because OEM glass units are often backordered for weeks and the aftermarket fabrication matches or exceeds the original spec. We walk you through the choice and cost on every single job.
4. 4
   The repair or build. For repairs, most Mr-Glass custom and geometric window work is done same day. For full replacements, the new unit is fabricated to our measurements within two to three weeks and installed in a single day with full weatherproofing and shimming.
5. 5
   Testing and cleanup. We run a water test, check the operation, inspect the sealant beads, and clean up before we leave. Not a sweep in the general area, a full cleanup. You’d never know a crew was there except the window works now.
6. 6
   The promise. Every Mr-Glass job, repair or replacement, falls under the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not done right, we come back and make it right. No expiration. No fine print.

What Mr-Glass Custom & Geometric Windows Costs in Fort Lauderdale

Straight numbers, because vague pricing is how contractors get away with bad work. Here’s what you should expect for common Mr-Glass scenarios we handle in Fort Lauderdale:

• Hardware rebuild on one operable custom window (binding sash, worn hinges, failed lock): $340-$720
• Single IGU replacement for a fogged geometric window (arched, trapezoid, octagon): $580-$1,450 depending on size and glazing spec
• Seal and weep remediation on one fixed custom window: $350-$800
• Full custom geometric window replacement (new frame, new IGU, full install and flashing): $1,200-$2,800 per opening
• Multi-window custom wall project (3+ openings, custom shapes): $4,500-$22,000 depending on scope, glazing, and structural work

What moves the price: unit size, glass thickness, Low-E and tint requirements, frame material, and whether the opening needs structural reframing. We give you a written quote with the exact number before work starts, and that number doesn’t move once the job begins. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate on any Mr-Glass window on your list.
