Mr-Glass Roof Repair in Palm Beach: What to Know First
We repair Mr-Glass roofs and skylights throughout Palm Beach, and most jobs are done in a single visit. A typical Mr-Glass roof repair in Palm Beach runs $350 to $900 depending on what failed, but we quote a flat price before we touch anything so there’s no surprise on the invoice. If you’re noticing a leak around a Mr-Glass skylight or roof panel, or condensation building up between panes, call us at (561) 831-7863 and we’ll send a tech who actually works on Mr-Glass products, not someone reading a training manual in the driveway.
This page is for Palm Beach homeowners who own Mr-Glass windows, skylights, or roof glass and need straight answers about what’s wrong, what it costs, and whether the repair will hold. We’re an independent Mr-Glass service provider, not a factory outlet. That matters because we’ll tell you when aftermarket parts make more sense than OEM, and when they don’t.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass makes good glass, but Palm Beach weather and Florida building codes put every roof product through a stress test. Here’s what we actually see on calls:
- Seal failure around Mr-Glass skylight curbs. On Mr-Glass fixed skylights and roof windows, the butyl seal between the frame and the curb breaks down faster here than almost anywhere else in the state. The combination of salt air, afternoon downpours, and UV exposure turns the seal brittle in 5 to 7 years. We remove the old sealant completely, re-bed the frame with marine-grade butyl, and re-flash the curb so the fix outlasts the original install.
- Weeping at the Mr-Glass low-profile curb seam. Mr-Glass low-profile models sit closer to the roof deck, and water pools at the trailing edge during heavy rain. The original silicone seam at the back corner is the weak point. We see this on tile roofs in Palm Beach estates all the time. The fix is to open that seam, clean it, and re-seal it with a high-solids silicone rated for standing water, not the lighter bead used at the factory.
- Condensation and fogging inside double-pane Mr-Glass units. When the desiccant strip inside a Mr-Glass insulated unit is spent, you get that hazy film between the panes that won’t wipe off. It’s not a cleaning problem. It’s a seal failure, and the only correct repair is to replace the glass unit. We can rebuild the unit with matching low-E glass and keep your original frame, which costs less than replacing the whole skylight and keeps the curb flashing intact.
- Impact damage from Palm Beach storms. We replace cracked and spidered Mr-Glass impact units with glass that meets the current Miami-Dade product approval for the opening. If a Mr-Glass roof panel took a branch hit during a squall, we handle the board-up, the measurement, and the re-glaze so the opening is weather-tight before the next thunderstorm fires up over the Everglades.
- Rusted frame hardware on coastal Mr-Glass windows set into roof monitors. Homes within a mile of the Atlantic get salt spray that eats the fasteners in roof-level windows. Mr-Glass frames hold up, but the screws don’t. We swap them out for 316 marine stainless and re-torque the frame so the glass doesn’t bind when the roof moves in the afternoon heat.
Our Mr-Glass Roof Repair Process
When you call about a Mr-Glass repair, here’s how the job unfolds on our end:
- 1
You call, a person answers. You won’t get a voicemail tree or a call center. You’ll describe the leak or the crack, and we’ll schedule an inspection time that fits your day.
- 2
We inspect the opening from the roof and from below. We look at the glass, the frame, the curb, the flashing, and the roof membrane around the opening. A leak at a skylight is often a flashing problem six feet away, and we won’t fix the glass if the roof is the real culprit.
- 3
We identify the exact failure and quote it flat. You get a written line-item price before we order parts or cut anything. No change orders later, no “we found wood rot so the price doubled” routine.
- 4
Parts decision, with your input. If the glass unit is failed, we price both OEM Mr-Glass glass and a matching aftermarket option when one exists. We’ll tell you honestly when the difference matters and when it doesn’t.
- 5
The repair. We remove the failed component, prep the opening, install the new glass or seal, and re-flash as needed. Our techs are background-checked and uniformed, so you know who’s on your roof.
- 6
We test and we stand behind it. We water-test the repair before we pack up. If it’s not done right, we come back. That’s the 36500-Day Done Right Promise, and Ed’s name is on every job we do.
What Mr-Glass Roof Repair Costs in Palm Beach
Mr-Glass roof repair in Palm Beach lands in these ranges based on what we see most often:
- Re-sealing a Mr-Glass skylight curb or seam: $350-$550, including all sealant and minor flashing corrections.
- Replacing a single Mr-Glass insulated glass unit (keeping the original frame): $500-$900 depending on size and low-E specs.
- Full Mr-Glass skylight replacement with new curb flashing: $1,200-$2,400 depending on the unit size and the roof type (tile runs higher than shingle).
- Impact glass replacement after storm damage: $600-$1,800, depending on the window or panel size and the M-D product approval documentation required.
What moves the price is the size of the opening, the roof type, whether the curb flashing is salvageable, and whether you need OEM glass or a matching aftermarket unit. Every quote is flat and line-itemed. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll come out, measure, and put the number in writing. The estimate is free, and there’s no trip charge inside Palm Beach County.
Why Palm Beach Homeowners Call Winslow Windows & Doors for Mr-Glass Work
We’re the one down the road. Winslow Windows & Doors has been serving Palm Beach since 2011, and Ed Winslow put his name on the door because he actually shows up and answers for the work. We’re not a national franchise rotating subcontractors through your zip code. When a Mr-Glass roof panel is leaking into a finished room, you talk to the same people who come out and fix it. Every tech is background-checked and wears our uniform, and a live person answers the phone 24/7.
We also work across the other major brands you might have on the same roof line: PGT, CGI, CWS, and ES Windows. That matters when one opening is Mr-Glass and the next one over is a PGT impact unit. We can handle both in the same visit, quote both honestly, and stand behind the whole job with the same 36500-Day Done Right Promise. No ticket numbers, no shell companies, no mystery warranty. Just a published address, a license number, and a local owner who will answer the phone if something isn’t right.
FAQs
Yes, when the failure is in the seal or the curb flashing, we can repair it without replacing the glass. If the glass unit itself is fogged or cracked, the glass has to be rebuilt, but you can keep your original frame and curb in most cases. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll inspect it and tell you which one you’re dealing with.
It can, and that’s why we check the warranty status before we do anything. Some Mr-Glass products carry a manufacturer warranty that covers glass unit failures, and we’ll tell you if your repair should go through the factory instead of our shop. As an independent Mr-Glass service provider, we’re not bound by factory service schedules or parts restrictions, so we’ll give you the straight answer on which path costs less and gets the opening sealed fastest.
We use both, and we tell you the trade-off honestly. OEM Mr-Glass glass guarantees an exact match in tint, low-E coating, and frame fit. Quality aftermarket units can match those specs and cost less, especially on older products where OEM lead times run long. We’ll price both options on most repairs and let you decide. We never install parts we wouldn’t put on our own buildings.
We answer live 24/7, and for an active leak we prioritize the call and get a tech out as fast as the schedule allows. An active roof leak into finished space is what we treat as urgent, and we’ll triage it on the phone, walk you through taking the pressure off the ceiling, and get someone there. Call (561) 831-7863 and you’ll talk to a real person who can start the process immediately.
If the glass is good and the frame is sound, repair usually wins. If the unit is 15+ years old, the seals are failing, the frame shows corrosion, and the curb flashing needs a complete redo, replacement is often cheaper than a patch job. We’ll measure, inspect, and give you both numbers so you’re deciding on math, not guesswork. Estimates are free, and we quote everything in writing before work starts.
