AfterMr-Glass Roof Repair in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
Mr-Glass roof repair in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $280 to $1,600 depending on whether we’re resealing a skylight curb, replacing glazing panels, or rebuilding the flashing around a glass roof section. Most jobs are done in a single visit, and every estimate is free with a written line-item breakdown before we touch anything. If you own a home with Mr-Glass roofing components and you’ve spotted a leak, a fogged panel, or a seal that’s starting to lift, call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll get a real person on the line to schedule your inspection.
This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who installed Mr-Glass roof windows, skylights, or structural glass roofing and need someone who actually knows the product line, not a roofer guessing at it. We’ve worked on Mr-Glass installations across Broward County for years, and we’ll tell you straight what’s fixable and what isn’t.
Key Takeaways
- We repair Mr-Glass roof windows, skylights, and glass roof panels as an independent service provider, not a manufacturer affiliate.
- Most Mr-Glass roof repairs finish same-day once parts are confirmed.
- Free estimates, written quotes, and a 36500-Day Done Right Promise on every job.
- We also service PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows when you need a multi-brand fix.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass builds a solid product, but South Florida weather finds every weak point eventually. Here’s what we actually see on Fort Lauderdale roofs, week in and week out.
- Flashing separation at the curb on the SG-400 skylight series. The SG-400’s low-profile curb design is clean, but the aluminum flashing can pull away from the roof deck after a few hurricane seasons of thermal expansion. Water sneaks under the lifted edge and travels sideways before it shows up as a ceiling stain. We remove the old flashing, re-bed the curb with marine-grade sealant, and re-secure with new fasteners rather than caulking over the old gap.
- Fogged glass panels on the laminated glass roof sections. In Fort Lauderdale’s humidity, a failed edge seal in a Mr-Glass laminated roof panel turns into condensation between the glass layers within six months. The fog isn’t just cosmetic; it means the desiccant strip inside the edge seal is spent. We replace the insulated glass unit (IGU) rather than the whole frame, which saves hundreds compared to a full panel swap.
- Weep hole blockage on the door-and-glass roof transition units. Mr-Glass roof sections that meet patio doors or balcony entries have small weep channels that clog with salt spray residue and windblown sand, especially in beachside Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods like Harbor Beach and Rio Vista. Blocked weep holes back water up under the threshold. Our fix is a full channel flush and re-sloping the drainage path, not a caulk band-aid.
- Sealant failure at the glass-to-frame joint on older Mr-Glass units. The original factory sealant on units installed 8 to 10 years ago starts to chalk and crack under constant UV exposure. Once that seal goes, water moves into the frame channel and rots the wood curb underneath if you have a wood-framed roof opening. We strip the old sealant down to clean metal, re-prime, and apply a UV-stable sealant rated for coastal Florida rather than an off-the-shelf silicone.
- Hardware seizure on the operable venting skylights. Mr-Glass venting units use a crank mechanism that seizes up when salt air corrodes the gear housing. Forcing the handle is how owners snap the linkage. We free seized hardware with a penetrating treatment, replace worn gears and arms, and re-lubricate with a marine-grade grease so the unit opens like it did on day one.
One thing we’ll tell you straight: we are an independent Mr-Glass service provider. We’re not a factory warranty station, and we won’t pretend to be. What we are is the shop that sees more Mr-Glass roof failures in Fort Lauderdale than just about anyone, because we’re the ones homeowners call when the leak won’t stop and the original installer won’t answer the phone.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Repair Process
When you call us about a Mr-Glass roof issue, here’s exactly how the job runs.
- 1
Call and describe. You reach a live person at (904) 747-8989, 24/7. We ask a few targeted questions: where’s the leak showing up, when did you first notice it, what Mr-Glass product do you have, and has anyone worked on it before.
- 2
Inspection and diagnosis. A background-checked, uniformed technician arrives, gets on the roof, and traces the actual failure point. We don’t guess from the ground. Ed Winslow trained in building construction technology, and we’ve spent years learning how water moves through South Florida roofs.
- 3
Parts decision. We lay out the options: OEM Mr-Glass parts where they’re available and worth the wait, or proven aftermarket equivalents that match the original spec. We’ll give you honest trade-offs on cost and lead time. No upselling.
- 4
Repair. We complete the work with proper flashing, sealants, fasteners, and glazing rated for coastal Florida. The repair is tested for water penetration before we call it done.
- 5
Guarantee and cleanup. The job area gets cleaned up, and we walk you through what we did and why. Every repair carries our 36500-Day Done Right Promise: if it’s not done right, we make it right.

FAQs
In most cases, no. Independent repair using industry-standard materials does not automatically void a Mr-Glass warranty, but some warranty language requires OEM parts for specific components. We’ll review your warranty terms with you before we touch anything and flag any repair that could conflict with the manufacturer’s coverage. Call (904) 747-8989 and we’ll walk through it together.
Most leak repairs are done within 24 to 48 hours of your call, faster if we have the parts on hand. Fort Lauderdale’s afternoon thunderstorms don’t wait, so we prioritize active roof leaks. Call (904) 747-8989 and tell us water is coming in, and we’ll get you on the schedule that day.
If the frame, curb, and glass are in good shape and the failure is a seal, flashing, or hardware issue, repair usually costs 30 to 50 percent of a full replacement. If the curb is rotted through or the frame is corroded beyond re-bedding, replacement is the better call. We’ll give you the honest math either way, no pressure toward the bigger ticket.
Yes. We source insulated glass units to match the original Mr-Glass tint, thickness, and laminate spec, whether OEM or aftermarket equivalent. For older Mr-Glass installations where the exact glass is discontinued, we can typically cross-match within the same performance class. Call (904) 747-8989 with your model number and we’ll verify before ordering.
No trip charge inside our home county, and every estimate is free. You also get a written line-item quote with no surprises on the invoice. Call (904) 747-8989 to set yours up.
