Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation in Fort Lauderdale: What to Know First
We install and replace Mr-Glass roofs throughout Fort Lauderdale as an independent Mr-Glass service provider, and most full replacements run five to seven working days from tear-off to final inspection. You will pay for honest work, not a brand surcharge – our quotes are line-itemed, and the number you approve is the number on the invoice. If you own a Mr-Glass roof, call (904) 747-8989 and a real person picks up, any hour.
This page is for Fort Lauderdale homeowners who have a Mr-Glass roof that is nearing the end of its life, leaking, or showing signs of structural fatigue – and who want to know what replacement actually involves before they spend a dime.
Key Takeaways:
- We are an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a manufacturer warranty arm.
- Full Mr-Glass roof replacement in Fort Lauderdale typically runs $9,800 to $24,000 depending on profile, underlayment condition, and decking repair.
- Every job carries the 36500-Day Done Right Promise. If it is not done right, we make it right.
- Ed Winslow grew up in Miami and has spent years working South Florida roofs – he knows what salt air and hurricane season do to a Mr-Glass panel.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass roofs have a reputation for clean lines and solid profiles, but Fort Lauderdale’s climate exposes weak points that show up in predictable ways. Here is what we see on the job, week after week:
- Mr-Glass Standing Seam profile – seam separation at the ridge. The clipped seams on Mr-Glass standing seam panels hold fine until years of thermal cycling and salt-laden air work the clips loose near the ridge line. Water follows the loosened seam down the slope and pools at the eave. We do not caulk over the problem – we pull the affected panels, replace the clip assemblies, and re-seat the seam. Caulk is a band-aid on a profile that is supposed to shed water mechanically.
- Mr-Glass Tile Profile – underlayment rot beneath a “fine-looking” tile. The tile itself rarely fails. What fails is the felt or synthetic underlayment underneath, especially on older Fort Lauderdale homes where the original felt was installed to code minimums. You will not see it from the ground. The tile looks perfect, and the ceiling is staining anyway. We replace the full tile profile down to the deck, inspect every sheet of plywood, and install a high-temp synthetic underlayment rated for South Florida heat.
- Mr-Glass Shingle profile – granule loss and mat exposure within 8-10 years. Mr-Glass asphalt shingle lines take a beating from Fort Lauderdale’s UV index, which runs high year-round. We often see mat exposure on southern-facing slopes while the northern slopes still have granules intact. Our fix is full replacement with upgraded shingle ratings, not spot repair – once the mat is exposed on one slope, the others are not far behind.
- Flashing failures at wall intersections – a Mr-Glass install detail, not a product defect. On Mr-Glass roofs where the original installer used step flashing in a rush, we see leaks at headwalls within five years – far earlier than the panel warranty suggests anything should fail. It is an installation failure, not a manufacturing one. We re-flash every wall intersection with code-compliant counterflashing and seal behind every step piece.
- Eave and rake trim corrosion near the coast. Fort Lauderdale homes within a mile of the beach see Mr-Glass metal trim and eave flashing corrode years before inland homes do. Salt spray settles in the trim gaps, and the powder coat eventually separates. We replace all perimeter trim during a full replacement, choosing marine-grade finishes for coastal exposure – a detail many contractors skip.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Process
- 1
Call and talk to a person. You call (904) 747-8989. A live person answers, 24/7. You describe what is happening. We set a time, and we show up when we say we will. No call centers. No ticket numbers.
- 2
The inspection. A background-checked, uniformed technician walks the roof, photographs what they see, and gives you a straight assessment. We do not invent problems to pad a quote. If the roof has five years left, we say so.
- 3
The line-item quote. You get a written estimate that details every component: panels, underlayment, flashing, trim, fasteners, disposal, permit fees. No vague “roof replacement – ol4,000” lines. You know what you are paying for before you sign anything.
- 4
Parts and material decisions. We source Mr-Glass replacement panels where the profile is still in production. Where a profile has been discontinued, we discuss quality aftermarket options that match the original gauge, finish, and profile geometry – and we tell you the difference in cost and longevity before ordering anything.
- 5
The replacement. Full tear-off, deck inspection, any necessary wood repair, underlayment, new panels or shingles, flashing, trim, and fasteners. The crew works clean and covers your landscaping and pool equipment before we start.
- 6
Test, walk, and promise. We water-test, inspect every seam and flashing point, walk the finished roof with you, and hand you the warranty in writing. If it is not done right, we come back. That is the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and we put it in writing every single job.
What Mr-Glass Roof Replacement & Installation Costs in Fort Lauderdale
Here are the real numbers for the Mr-Glass replacements we do in Fort Lauderdale. These are installed prices, including tear-off, decking as needed, underlayment, flashing, trim, and debris removal:
- Mr-Glass shingle profile (full replacement): $9,800 – $14,500 for a typical 1,500 – 2,200 sq ft home. Price moves with the number of slopes, roof pitch, and whether the decking needs replacement.
- Mr-Glass standing seam profile: $16,500 – $24,000 for the same footprint. Standing seam is a premium profile, and the labor and coil costs reflect that.
- Mr-Glass tile profile: $14,000 – $22,000, with most of the variance coming from underlayment condition and whether original tile can be re-set or must be replaced.
- Decking repair: $85 – $140 per sheet when we find rotted or delaminated plywood under the old roof. That is a common Fort Lauderdale reality – the deck has been wet longer than the owner knew.
The honest posture is this: we do not give you a lowball number over the phone and then hand you a change order halfway through the job. The quote is fixed. If decking needs replacement, we show you the rot and the sheet count before we order wood. Call (904) 747-8989 for an exact quote – estimates are free, and there is no trip charge inside our home county.
Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
Ed Winslow’s name is on the door – and on every Mr-Glass roof we install or replace. That is not marketing copy. It is how we have operated out of Fort Lauderdale since 2011, with a published address and a license number you can look up. When a Mr-Glass roof is done wrong, it leaks, and when it leaks, you call the person whose name is on the invoice. You do not get transferred to a department.
We are also one of the few local companies that installs Mr-Glass alongside other major brands – PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. That matters when your home has a mix of products and you need a crew that understands how the roof profile meets the window flashing, not just a crew that can hammer shingles. Every technician is background-checked and arrives in uniform. You know who is on your property before the truck door opens.
And the 36500-Day Done Right Promise covers every Mr-Glass replacement we do. If it is not done right, we make it right. A hundred years is a long time to stand behind your work. We intend to be around for all of it.
FAQs
In most cases, yes – we can begin within three to five business days of your signed quote, and full replacement runs five to seven working days. We are a local Fort Lauderdale crew, not a national chain scheduling jobs six weeks out. Call (904) 747-8989 and we will give you a firm start date on the first call.
No – an independent Mr-Glass service provider replacing a roof is standard practice, and your panel warranty covers the products, not the original installer’s workmanship. What can void a warranty is using off-profile aftermarket panels that do not match the original geometry. We source factory Mr-Glass panels where the profile is still produced, and when it is discontinued, we discuss every option with you before ordering.
Most Mr-Glass full replacements in Fort Lauderdale run between $9,800 and $24,000, depending on profile type and decking condition. Smaller partial replacements or ridge and flashing work can run less, but we will tell you honestly if a partial fix is throwing money at a roof that needs full replacement. Call (904) 747-8989 for a free estimate with line-item pricing.
No. The quote is fixed. The only exception is decking replacement, and we show you the rotted wood and the exact sheet count before we order a single board. You approve it, in writing, or it does not get done. No change orders handed to you mid-job with a shrug.
Yes. We pull all required permits, schedule inspections, and do not call the job done until the inspector signs off. Permits are a line item on your quote, not a surprise add-on. If a contractor tells you permits are optional or too much hassle, that is a red flag in Fort Lauderdale – building code enforcement here is real, and it should be.
